Speaker 1 (00:04):
So the top ten teams in the playoffs, obviously you're set,
there's no no one can play themselves out or whatever.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
But the seeds ain't.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Necessarily set till the end of the night, right, So
there are a couple of teams, a couple of teams
that ain't necessily set. The Nuggets and Lakers are spread
off by one game, and they played tonight at the
exact same time. They set it up to where like
a team, if they want to sit someone like that
was a key player, they couldn't do.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
You think like JJ Reddick calls Mitch, Hey, Bud, just
seeing what you're doing against Denver tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I mean he probably buy them on the.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Phone, calls you know, hey, hey, what are you doing?
What your I would love to know that. I don't
know the coach. I bet the GMS probably do. The
GMS have a much colorsier network, I think the coaches.
So you think Brian Wright's phone is like blowing up today, Hey,
what are you guys doing?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
You're resting? What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
You guys really giving a you know, I don't.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I think there's pride on the line for the Spurs
to be honest with you.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
I think I think that we're not going to rest tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Because I would have to imagine for a week. I
would have to imagine.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
There's a lot more there's a lot more competitiveness among
the coaches, among the gms, like they care, but it's
definitely more intense, especially when you see what the coaches but.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Right, but you could.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Here's the thing about the Spurs and what I love
about them, Shane, is that they've been home all this week, right,
and so then you're home again, right, You're at least
home for another two weeks after this, So you're at
You're at home, You're rested. Denver had to fly in.
They have to do this. They have to stay in
a short hotel band. You know, it was loud last
night in the playoffs right around the corner, by the way,
when the playoffs start, everybody find out where the team
(01:29):
hotel is and just start honking around it every night.
That's fine, do that, No, do that.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
In the play in uh huh eight and nine between
the Clippers and Pubbliers, that game is gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
But they both have a forty one and forty records, So.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Where that game is being played is yet to be
determined as of right now. It's important because Portland, I
think has has a better divisional record, but they have
a tie record. So Portland tonight they take on the
Kings at seven.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Thirty, the worst team in the West.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
And then you got the Clippers and they take on
the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Now that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
That's interesting because we could see that again.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Because the Warriors also have nothing to play for. They're
stuck at the tenn seed. They're playing the Suns. So
if you're the Clippers, well, one, I think whichever team, regardless,
you want to win that game. But also I think
you have the unfortunate knowledge of knowing that with the
likelihood that the Warriors are going to lose to the Suns,
it means you're probably playing OKAC first round.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
There's a good chance of that, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
But here's the scary part though.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, that eight seed.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
If anybody can give anybody a run for their money,
I would honestly say the Clippers could give the thunder
a run.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
The Clippers have had had some really good starts to games.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
They don't finish games, they don't But that's that's a
team that they Brook Lopez going against Homegren. That's something
to watch. Yeah, that's okay, and let that's very underrated.
So if anybody's got and I would love to see
the thunder go seven gamesas all the way to the
Western Conference finals, trust right. And again they're gonna have
(03:04):
a target on the back as much as the Spurs
are gonna have a target on their back.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
So that that to me out of that play in tournaments.
By the way, shing are you gonna watch it? I
usually do tip off to end.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I do just because, like especially this year, I care,
But now it's like, who do the Spurs play first round?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I Mean, what I'm excited about is I actually just
get to work my normal job this week and then
log off at five o'clock and I get to watch
TV and you get to go to bed. I get
to go to bed. Don't forget to do your taxes.
By the way, the fifteenth.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
The the other thing that's in the West is that
that three four seed the.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Nuggets and Lakers.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
That's a big deal and not just obviously for who
they play, but that's why my phone line Spurs play
in their bracket because as of right now, the Nuggets
have a one game lead on the Lakers. The Nuggets
obviously play the Spurs tonight. The Lakers, if I'm not mistaken,
they play the Jazz. So the Lakers have a quote
unquote easier opponents because the Jazz are also dealing with
their own injury issues.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
So it's a bunch of hurt teams going at it.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
So, I mean, if you're the Spurs, you want to
beat the Nuggets and I and you want the Lakers
to win because that means the Lakers are going to
be in your bracket, which I mean the only time
you play the Nuggets would hypothetically be in the Western
Conference finals.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
So the Nuggets, I feel, are the evil steps sister
in the Western Conference. The Spurs are Cinderella, and then
the Thunder are just they've been there.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Before, the Thunders the Prince.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
But here's the thing. If I'm chet Holmgren, I don't
want to see Wimby. I don't want to see Yokiic.
So the advantage here, folks, What if I really tell
you is that if the Thunder have to face Dimver
in the second round, that's gonna be seven games.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Chet Holmgren is gonna come in beat up, and so is.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
SGA, the Thunder.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
The Thunder I think have actually be actually lost to
the Nuggets this year as a matter of fact, So
the Nuggets I have to beat them.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, And like the Spurs, it's like, okay, so the
Suns are Blazers probably more than likely or maybe you
know who knows?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Right? We don't.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
We don't know the winner of that game. I don't
know when that game is gonna played. I think it's
on the sixteenth or fourteenth. Actually, you got that your
second round. I want the Lakers in the second round,
and the Lakers are the Rockets, I really do you know?
Because or I'm sorry, the Lakers or the Timberwolves. I
like our chances against Minnesota because I just feel that
(05:21):
I don't think ant Man can go seven games against
the Spurs.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
And again the power card that I'm gonna play with
the San Antonio Spurs, ye is the eight other players
that are in double digits.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I was more concerned about the when we played the
Minnesota their bench actually plays really well against the Spurs. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
And like when we played Detroit, and Detroit and Wimby
only had like fifteen points, we still won. You know,
Wimby has those nights where he's not so Wimby esque.
That's okay because again that's the scary part. And a
lot of people are gonna pat us on the back
here Shane at the end of tonight and say, oh, congratulations,
welcome to the playoffs, but you're not gonna go far,
so we'll see.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I'm excited for it again.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Spurs play the Nuggets tonight over on twelve hundred WAI
catch me on Spurs Countdown at six thirty.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Coming up.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
We've got beef and we've got a lot of it
on the Fanatics on tickets seven sixty
So the top ten teams in the playoffs, obviously you're set,
there's no no one can play themselves out or whatever.
