Speaker 1 (00:04):
I will actually be live from the Frost Bank Center
inside the Agave Club. If you want to come out
and you're at the game, come out, say hello. I'll
be overlooking the Ultra Lounge, which will be down there.
I have heard that after every game they will have
you know, kind of the bands out there at the
Ultra Lounge and everything else like that. Again, Fiesta is
(00:24):
officially kicked off. I think it kicked off on Thursday,
and of course your Spurs kick off tonight and hopefully,
like I said, you get sixteen wins. Well you know
what that means, Shane, you get sixteen wins, We're gonna
have a parade on the riverwalk.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
What's the over under? Like, how confident are you? Like
if on what?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
So? I've talked and I've spent a lot of time,
you know, talking to the likes of local reporters, some
on the national level, some sources, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
So that is what I said there.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
But how confident are you, Shane that this team can
make a run this season?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I am more confident And this is gonna sound ridiculous,
but I'm more confident in the Western Conference Finals against
the Thunder than I would in the Round two matchup
because surprisingly, surprisingly the Spurs this year have struggled more
against both the Nuggets and the Wolves, and they had
the Thunder and that's the only and that's the only caveat.
I don't think they can't win those series, Dylan, but
(01:27):
for some reason, and it might just be because you know,
when Wimby has ever struggled, it's because he's got up
against a big that can match him. And there's no
big in the league that can match Wimby the way
Yokkan offensively and defensively, you can make the argument that
he's still the best big, and that's fine. I have
no problem with Joker being named that Winby is definitely
the best defensive player at that position. The Wolves, and
we've talked about it before, they're one of the most
(01:49):
like both physically and athletic teams in the NBA. The
issue with them has been consistency. It's like there are
some games they'll go and Noll show up one hundred
twenty five points. In the next game they will allow
one hundred and thirty and that has been one reason
why they have been have been so inconsistent, like stand
or stay on a float, because like, yeah, Anthony Edwards
(02:10):
and Julius Reynold, they'll they'll get their twenty plus. But
if go Bear and nas Reed and Dante de Vincenzo
don't play defense on all three levels, both up top,
in the mid and the paint, they give way too
many points and that that's been their issue. They they
surprisingly match up well dispersed for whatever reason, I think
they can win that. I personally, I'd rather than play
(02:32):
the t Wolves. I think the t Wolves offer you more.
I think that give up more defensively than the Nuggets would.
I just think that those teams will give you more
more of a fight than than the.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Okay Sea would. Yeah, I don't. I don't see Okay see.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
The way the teams the way others do, because we've
seen what the Spurs team can do against this Okay
See team four out of five and one of those
games won't even close.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Well, a lot of a lot of Okay See talk
and a lot it was listening to a couple of
their UH Sports programs this week just to kind of
see what the vibe is over there. Obviously they're confident.
A lot of them are saying that they won't even
see the Spurs out there that they're not worried about
that they feel that Denver.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Could take care of San Antonio. Could be right, could
be wrong.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I don't know, you know, but when you know, have
you seen the latest MVP race the odds SGA's number one,
Jokic number two, Wimby's number three.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
According to what outlet I've seen, Wemby still number his
NBA dot com. Oh yeah, okay, which you said?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
It?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Is Jokic the better center than Wimby objectively?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yes, I would say right now, after silver and black glasses, yes,
I would still I still think Jokic is still ahead
of Wimby.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Now what I would say to this, Shane, And it
comes down to health, doesn't it Like when you look
at this far into the season, it comes down to health.
Who's healthier Jokic or Wimby, Well, neither of them are
really healthy exactly. Now take them out of the equation.
(04:02):
Who's got the better roster? Denver San Antonio spurs are deeper, right,
the Spurs are deeper, and they're younger.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
The Nuggets are more experienced.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
That's that's the cap.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, the Nuggets will play five guys for forty minutes. Yeah, right,
the Spurs are not that level yet. And that's not
a bad thing because remember seven of our guys finished
in double digits. Harrison Barnes is right below that. I
think he finished at nine point nine, yes, for the season.
But when I look at that. But at the same time,
you have to take a time out, right, because we
(04:34):
gotta handle round one. And again, Portland doesn't have anything
to lose in this in this tournament, or in this
play in or playing the playoff.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
They have nothing to lose.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
They could turn around and slap you, you know, and
they can get that quick win. But here's the thing,
Like I said, they haven't seen Wimby, you know, and
they haven't seen the area fifty one connection and in
this atmosphere Shane give her give or take. What's the
over under that these Spurs fans actually wear these shirts.
(05:08):
I would say, I would say, surprised me, right, I
think the I think the people who are sitting in
the bowls, they're wearing nicer clothes because they because they're
because they.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Were having nicer seats. The fans that are up top,
those are the ones who bought the cheap seats. Those
are the ones who I think the chiefs.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
About these seats, bro, these are like four hundred seats.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Well with the less expensive's wear.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
The shirts, dude, Like we have to be the sixth
man in this. The fans have got to carry it,
you know. And here's the thing, is like just wear
the shirt because if you do that, that's that's called. Okay,
nobody's coming into our house and winning. Nobody is coming
into our house and winning. And we've seen these Spurs
(05:53):
take care of business on the road. So I think
in this one as we kind of wrap this up
because I know, we got it into our next block
for a little bit more time. So I think the
Spurs handle Portland in five. I think it's four games
to one. I think the Spurs win the first two here,
you know, and we'll see in game three's toss up.
(06:13):
Spurs will take one out in Portland for sure, if
not both. But I just say five just to be
the gentleman's sweep. Is that what we would call it.
It's the gentleman's suite, the gentleman's sweep, because again I
don't think that yeah, and I don't think Portland has
a depth to even kind of handle us and Mitch
is able to throw out so many, you know, different
(06:34):
scenarios that Portland's just going to be scratching their head.
So we'll see. But I think Spurs in five. What
do you think on this first round chain.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I think Spurs and four.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I think if if I thought that Portland was a
more physical team, I think they would match up decently
offensively because the Spurs have struggled against physical teams.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yep, Portland's not that physical. There you go, there you go.
We'll take care of them tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
But again, you can catch me over on Spurs Countdown
twelve hundred WAI. Lie from the Frost Bank Center, as
we will get you ready for Game one. Of course,
listen to the call by the great Dan Weiss himself
all playoff season long because we will be there. And
then Carl Shoning with the net center pregame and post
game for them, and I've got your countdown and post
up and joining me tonight on post up is Dan
(07:17):
Weiss and Carl Shoning. They will give me their recap
of Game one. As I will tell you, the Spurs
will win this one tonight. So that's all on twelve
hundred WAI. When we come back, it's time for therapy
on the Fanatics.
