Speaker 1 (00:28):
Welcome in to the Sunday Funday edition here on Ticket
seven sixty of the Fanatics.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I'm your host, Dylan Emory, along with Shane Carter.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls all along South Texas.
Good morning as you wake up with your San Antonio Spurs,
who are now the twenty twenty six Western Conference champions
Spring Lane. Yes, little little bling, a little banner going
up for Game one? Did you got honking after the
(00:58):
postgame ban I'll tell you that postgame lie last night
went for any think that was the extended version of
postgame last night.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
And and I know usually you're dead tired the day
before game, but I know I was like, I wonder
if he's still gonna be honest. Every now and then
I was checking in to see if he's still on,
and like, oh my god, this was still on it
almost midnight.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Well, because like on nights like that, you're getting everybody
at the podium, you're able to you know, we were
able to have Victor at the podium. We were able
to have Dan Harper, we had even I think at
one point we had Luke Cornett speaking Spanish.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
At one point Luke Cornett.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Luke Cornett had the play of the game play the
year two ou up to this point.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Maybe that could have been a shifter, that one honest shift.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It makes you forget almost that game time three that
Wemby had in game one, which.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Without that, we're not even here, No we're not.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And the only Thunder player that showed up last night
was SGA. And you know, there's a lot of talk Shane.
I don't know if you always kind of invade the opposing.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Other Twitter, Yeah no, but it does invade me a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It's kind of fun to watch because a lot of
excuses coming out of OKAC already, right, they weren't yeah
that guy flipping flopping doing what he needed to do,
but they were kind of blaming the injury list.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I don't think that that's really the excuse here. How
about Chet Holmgren, how about four points? How about you
didn't show off? It didn't stop you out from winning
Game five convincingly. I know. I mean I told you
this where I told.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Andy this that like the JDub injury, as much as
like we respect him as an All Star, I really
didn't affect the series. The AJ Mitchell one I thought
was a bigger impact because I don't know if you
know this night he was average like twenty four points
a game of the postseason before the Spirst series.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
That was a bigger loss at this matchup.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, and when you kind of look at everything to
this was a team win last night. It wasn't just
Victor showing up and doing Victor things. This is the
team that we talked about that said, if the starting
five can get double digits in their points, they will
win the game.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And that's exactly what happened last night.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Because what I was afraid of in Game five, Shane,
is that we lost a Julian Champignee game, right, Yeah,
because he tends to get that one game in the series,
and that that's fine game, yeah, you know, and.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Last night he had it again six three.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, that was like it wasn't the same as the
Danny Green eight for eight game, no, but in terms
of what his role is, that was about as close
as we've seen to it, right.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, and just to see the emotion, right, because everybody
counted him out this game set and I honestly feel
like the Thunder were too casual going into this game.
I mean, the Spurs come out in the first quarter,
punch him in the mouth, right, and then of course
they survived that little run in the second quarter right
before halftime, the Thunder.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Actually took the lead, and then the Spurs.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, the Spurs inexperienced squad makes a tiny run towards
halftime and then they have a two point lead. First
time ever at home for OKC to be trailing at
halftime for them, So a lot of things not going
okay C's way.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Also, the whistles were fair both end.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yes, now I think Carusoe should have been struck with
a flagrant one and Steph Castle do me a favor,
calm down.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You know, I was that's strange you said that because
me and Miranda were talking about by the way I
let my daughter stay aplate to watch the game. I
might be a bad Daoud might be a bad dad
for that. Well, she's the moment because she's two, but
exactly she's into it. She's starting to say like she
says the way she says Gosburg Gohoes says, she does
that thing that toddlers do is all one word.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yes, let's just go.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
That's what a lot of people were saying last night
on Military Too, It is all one word.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Well, yeah, that's that's for different reasons.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
But was interested about last night, and I thought the
and she she brought up a good point, and she
never makes some good points at all, and she's listening,
so she knows that I'm one hundred percent right, one
hund percent of the time that last last that last night,
and I'm I'm interested with what you think because last night,
when Wemby was the leading score for the Spurs, we
could argue he really wasn't the biggest factor on the team.
(04:58):
I had told this to Andy on Friday, that you know,
we can kind of expect Wenby to get the twenty points,
ten rebound, three block game because that's what we expected
him Now this series has been all about the depth. Now,
even though the Thunder had more bench points, the impact
of the Spurs depth in this game was bigger. Harrison
Barnes played a lot of dirty work Bryant two for
they had to pull him out because that stupid foul
(05:19):
that he had Cornette with the block.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Like I said, maybe the play of the series, at
least maybe the year to this point.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Dylan Harper was like, they couldn't guard him when he
was driving to the paint.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Kelvin Johnson in those back to back threes was huge.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah, and in this game, I don't know what it was,
but you weren't really scared as much. Whenever whenever Jay
Will and Caruso were shooting from three, when they were
inside the paint or in the mid range, they were
a lot more effective. But when they started to force
the three pointer like they did in Game six, you
kind of knew the game was over.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
At that point.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, thats undergo twelve of thirty five from three point Land,
and Shane mentioned Cruzo one of six from three point Land.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
The only thing that was hitting for them beyond the
arc was Case and Wallace.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yes, you know it was dangerous you know what it
was funny is in the first quarter, Shay only had
six points, right, and you kind of saw a switch
on him.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
But you also in shout out to Mitch Johnson, which,
by the way, should be Coach of the Year.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Hello, a first time, first time full time head coach
makes the finals.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
That's that's crazy. I have to look up.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I know there's been other times that has happened where
it's the first year as an NBA head coach makes
the finals, But I don't, off the off the top
of my head know who else it is.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So I'm gonna look that up as it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But you know, it's one of those things where you
saw SGA and you saw the Spurs coaching staff say, hey,
let him have his night. He's the only player showing
up because honestly, SGA was keeping them in the game,
you know, And so was the charity stripe at one
point in the first half.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Now when I.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Say this, right, you guys are all worried about the
refs and how many times everybody went to the free
throw line. The Spurs go to the free throw line
nineteen times and the Thunder went twenty two times. Shout
out to the NBA officiating, And I'm not gonna sit
there and say that some of you need to be investigated,
because I think some of you should. Tony Brothers, but
Mark Davis and his crew last night outstanding outstanding work.
(07:08):
Now the flagrant, okay, I'll give you that one, but that's.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
The only one.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I can walk away from the officiating and say you
miss that one. I mean, we still got the free throws, right, Steph.
Castle's gotta calm down. Though he's a very emotional cat man.
I love his passion, but you gotta give credit to
Dylan Harper, which, by the way, I need a shirt
printed of Dylan holding Castle in his lap telling him
basically to calm him down.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
We need you. Devin Vessel did that again later on
in the second half. Because Caruso's that guy.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Right, Caruso is the guy that's gonna pick at you.
He's gonna be the guy that says, ha, I'm gonna
get into your head. He's gonna try to beat you mentally.
He can't beat you physically on the on the court.
You're out performing him.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And Crusoe, by the way, yea if OKC won this,
I think the debate would be.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Is it Caruso the finals MVP of the West? I
think he had a bigger impact, especially defensively.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Shae had the points, but we had this argument about
is Shade Early the MVP because he's the leading score
or or is win because he has impact on both ends?
I think the more dangerous player you're more worried about. Honestly,
it might have been Caruso on both ends. Shaye I
was actually kind of comfortable with him taking those mid
range shots.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I think, at least by the way I looked this up.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
So sorry, not killed h Mitch Johnson is actually the
tenth coach in NBA history. That's like before and that,
before and after the mergers ever make the finals in
their first year with the team. He's the fourth in
the last ten years to do So there you go,
and the fifth in the last thirty five years.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Do you want to try and guess the last four
to do it? No? No, what do we got? Okay?
So when eighty two was pat Riley with the Lakers, Okay,
makes sense, young guy back then?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, and jump about thirty years in the future. They
got Steve Current twenty fifteen with the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Really his first year. Yeah, that was the year after
the Mark Jackson fire.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Winner, when when basically the Warriors were right there and
they okay.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And then the very next year Tylu with the Cavs
and that was remember that was the year that he
took over for I forgot the guy that they brought her.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
From Europe that Lebron didn't like. Oh yes, yes, I forgot.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
And then then and then number and then back in
twenty nineteen because of our one of our own joined
that team, Nick Nurse with the Raptors.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Okay, yeah, yeah, that was welcome for that. You're welcome
for that, Nick Nurse. You're welcome for your title.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I didn't realize there was that many, but the merger
happened in fifty two, right, yes or no, sorry that no,
seventy two, sorry, seventy two, seventy two, so there were
four pre merger to make it in their first year.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Everybody else was post merge. Yeah, and when you look
at this squad most.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Importantly, and today, guys, we're going to open up the
phone lines for you. It's gonna be two one zero, seven, three,
six nine seven sixty. Uh, be patient, because I only
have Shane out there, answering the phone. So if you
call and call and call, I gotta do like six things. Yeah,
just keep calling. But two one zero, seven, three, six, nine,
seven sixty. We want to hear from you. How are
you feeling. I'll even take an Oklahoma City Thunder fan
(09:54):
to give me some sort of breakdown on how you're feeling.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Nice. Just don't throw tururo. Yeah, don't throw truro like
you did in section two oh nine We saw you.
It's definitely it definitely has like a racial vibe to it.
Doesnet it?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Well? Yeah, I mean I think that we're in the
day and age now where we just automatically think that.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
But well, because like I mean, have all things to
throw around our crazy Hispanic fans.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, and you know what, I'm a crazy Hispanic fan
and I love it, you know. I mean just to
hear the city last night, Like you know how I am.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I'm very I get.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Into a game, I get very you know, emotional, and
it's fun as well to be able to be a
part of this because I do spurs countdown and spurs
post up. It kind of felt like we won here
as well, you know, like you're part of this team.
You've watched them grow and the emotion on Victor winbin
Yama last night was awesome.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And they're making fun him for crying. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And okay, see you're you're making fun of our guy
for crying. But yet your players do TikTok dances and
they show up with Gucci bags. What is TikTok McCain,
Jared McCain that makes SGA has done him. Chet Holmgren
has done him.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But I'll tell you this, chit.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Better get out of Oklahoma City today. He better be
on a plane to Cancun already because that guy did
not show up.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Which there's an app out form in Okay, see right
now there should be.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I mean, I'm already seeing dude, I am seeing so
much not hate, but so much banter about him because honestly, dude,
that's a game seven, and it honestly felt like the
Spurs had been there more often than the OKAC Thunder,
you know, And I think Thunder fans and the Thunder,
you know, honestly thought that they were just gonna win.
(11:42):
They just thought that, you know, the NBA gods were
gonna line this up to make this happen, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
But nobody or nobody is happier today than you know who, Shane,
You know who that is. Jeremy's so handed. Okay, there's
like a whole there's like a holistic guys. Win or lose,
is gonna get a ring?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I mean it's up to the team that wins, right, yeah,
to make that decision, which by all means when the
Spurs win the finals, I'm gonna put it out there.
I'm not talking negative here, but when we win the finals,
you know, we should get him a ring. You know
he should. He's definitely part of that first time ever, Shane.
I know the Cup history is very small, but you know,
shout out to see and biggest Puma because we did
(12:22):
talk about this Cup final and we said, how cool
would it be to see these two in the finals.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Here we are.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I'm gonna shout myself out because even though you were
saying it was a sweep, I said seven games.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, you said seven games.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I was trying to get rid of this this series
as fast as I could, but I mean, it was
a heck of a.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Series, wouldn't it be something? Because remember the first series
against the Blazers was five, then the Wolves was six.
Then the thunder was seven. What if they complete the
cycle and go four against the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I'm for it. I know you're for you. I'm absolutely
for it.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I mean, I mean, we're gonna break down that finals matchup.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
This isn't the Knicks from nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
No, this Knicks at is a and we talked about
they're a matchup for the Spurs because right fast they are.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And ironically enough, when the Spurs entered the ninety nine finals,
they were on a ten game winning streak. The Knicks
enter this finals on a ten game winning streak. I mean,
you kind of see the tails of the tape, right
But what's cool about it is that we have home
court advantage again. Now, all we got to do is
win in San Antonio, Shane, That's all we gotta do,
(13:24):
because I know the ticket prices are ridiculous, which we'll
get to in New York. But I do not want
to see Spike Lee court side come Wednesday night.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I kind of not want to see.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I want to see I want to do favorite go
up to Coach Pop's suite, go there, go out of
I don't want to see you, you know, because I
mean I can tell you, Julian Shampinny's going to have
fun with them.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Step Castle's gonna have fun with them.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
This is a This is another series where Vic will
actually have another big man that's actually pretty good to
go against. Because Chet did not show up at all
in this Western Conference Finals.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You know what I know? Come up on a break.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
We can push the sound segment to the segment after
because like, I want to talk more about the ticket price.
I want to I want to break down the knicks.
We haven't we haven't talked about them near enough.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, we can talk about let's do this, but again,
your Spurs, our Western Conference Finals champions this morning. I'm
sure you're getting your free coffee. I'm sure you got
your free taco. Uh. We're just getting started here on
the fanatics coming up next, Let's look into the finals,
because that's what we want to do.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls all along South Texas.
Good morning as you wake up with your San Antonio Spurs,
who are now the twenty twenty six Western Conference champions
Spring Lane. Yes, little little bling, a little banner going

(00:58):
postgame ban I'll tell you that postgame lie last night
went for any think that was the extended version of
postgame last night.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
And and I know usually you're dead tired the day
before game, but I know I was like, I wonder
if he's still gonna be honest. Every now and then
I was checking in to see if he's still on,
and like, oh my god, this was still on it
almost midnight.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Well, because like on nights like that, you're getting everybody
at the podium, you're able to you know, we were
able to have Victor at the podium. We were able
to have Dan Harper, we had even I think at
one point we had Luke Cornett speaking Spanish.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
At one point Luke Cornett.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Luke Cornett had the play of the game play the
year two ou up to this point.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Maybe that could have been a shifter, that one honest shift.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It makes you forget almost that game time three that
Wemby had in game one, which.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Without that, we're not even here, No we're not.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And the only Thunder player that showed up last night
was SGA. And you know, there's a lot of talk Shane.
I don't know if you always kind of invade the opposing.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Other Twitter, Yeah no, but it does invade me a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It's kind of fun to watch because a lot of
excuses coming out of OKAC already, right, they weren't yeah
that guy flipping flopping doing what he needed to do,
but they were kind of blaming the injury list.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I don't think that that's really the excuse here. How
about Chet Holmgren, how about four points? How about you
didn't show off? It didn't stop you out from winning
Game five convincingly. I know. I mean I told you

because he tends to get that one game in the series,

calm down.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You know, I was that's strange you said that because
me and Miranda were talking about by the way I
let my daughter stay aplate to watch the game. I
might be a bad Daoud might be a bad dad

exactly she's into it. She's starting to say like she

that thing that toddlers do is all one word.

Yes, let's just go.

That's what a lot of people were saying last night

Speaker 2 (05:55):
The only thing that was hitting for them beyond the

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yes, you know it was dangerous you know what it
was funny is in the first quarter, Shay only had
six points, right, and you kind of saw a switch
on him.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
But you also in shout out to Mitch Johnson, which,
by the way, should be Coach of the Year.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Hello, a first time, first time full time head coach
makes the finals.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
That's that's crazy. I have to look up.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I know there's been other times that has happened where
it's the first year as an NBA head coach makes
the finals, But I don't, off the off the top
of my head know who else it is.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So I'm gonna look that up as it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But you know, it's one of those things where you
saw SGA and you saw the Spurs coaching staff say, hey,
let him have his night. He's the only player showing
up because honestly, SGA was keeping them in the game,
you know, And so was the charity stripe at one
point in the first half.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Now when I.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Say this, right, you guys are all worried about the
refs and how many times everybody went to the free
throw line. The Spurs go to the free throw line
nineteen times and the Thunder went twenty two times. Shout
out to the NBA officiating, And I'm not gonna sit
there and say that some of you need to be investigated,
because I think some of you should. Tony Brothers, but
Mark Davis and his crew last night outstanding outstanding work.
(07:08):
Now the flagrant, okay, I'll give you that one, but that's.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
The only one.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I can walk away from the officiating and say you
miss that one. I mean, we still got the free throws, right, Steph.
Castle's gotta calm down. Though he's a very emotional cat man.
I love his passion, but you gotta give credit to
Dylan Harper, which, by the way, I need a shirt
printed of Dylan holding Castle in his lap telling him
basically to calm him down.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
We need you. Devin Vessel did that again later on
in the second half. Because Caruso's that guy.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Right, Caruso is the guy that's gonna pick at you.
He's gonna be the guy that says, ha, I'm gonna
get into your head. He's gonna try to beat you mentally.
He can't beat you physically on the on the court.
You're out performing him.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And Crusoe, by the way, yea if OKC won this,
I think the debate would be.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Is it Caruso the finals MVP of the West? I
think he had a bigger impact, especially defensively.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Shae had the points, but we had this argument about
is Shade Early the MVP because he's the leading score
or or is win because he has impact on both ends?
I think the more dangerous player you're more worried about. Honestly,
it might have been Caruso on both ends. Shaye I
was actually kind of comfortable with him taking those mid
range shots.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I think, at least by the way I looked this up.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
So sorry, not killed h Mitch Johnson is actually the
tenth coach in NBA history. That's like before and that,
before and after the mergers ever make the finals in
their first year with the team. He's the fourth in
the last ten years to do So there you go,
and the fifth in the last thirty five years.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Do you want to try and guess the last four
to do it? No? No, what do we got? Okay?
So when eighty two was pat Riley with the Lakers, Okay,
makes sense, young guy back then?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, and jump about thirty years in the future. They
got Steve Current twenty fifteen with the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Really his first year. Yeah, that was the year after
the Mark Jackson fire.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Winner, when when basically the Warriors were right there and
they okay.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And then the very next year Tylu with the Cavs
and that was remember that was the year that he
took over for I forgot the guy that they brought her.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
From Europe that Lebron didn't like. Oh yes, yes, I forgot.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
And then then and then number and then back in
twenty nineteen because of our one of our own joined
that team, Nick Nurse with the Raptors.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Okay, yeah, yeah, that was welcome for that. You're welcome
for that, Nick Nurse. You're welcome for your title.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I didn't realize there was that many, but the merger
happened in fifty two, right, yes or no, sorry that no,
seventy two, sorry, seventy two, seventy two, so there were
four pre merger to make it in their first year.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Everybody else was post merge. Yeah, and when you look
at this squad most.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Importantly, and today, guys, we're going to open up the
phone lines for you. It's gonna be two one zero, seven, three,
six nine seven sixty. Uh, be patient, because I only
have Shane out there, answering the phone. So if you
call and call and call, I gotta do like six things. Yeah,
just keep calling. But two one zero, seven, three, six, nine,
seven sixty. We want to hear from you. How are
you feeling. I'll even take an Oklahoma City Thunder fan
(09:54):
to give me some sort of breakdown on how you're feeling.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Nice. Just don't throw tururo. Yeah, don't throw truro like
you did in section two oh nine We saw you.
It's definitely it definitely has like a racial vibe to it.
Doesnet it?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Well? Yeah, I mean I think that we're in the
day and age now where we just automatically think that.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
But well, because like I mean, have all things to
throw around our crazy Hispanic fans.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, and you know what, I'm a crazy Hispanic fan
and I love it, you know. I mean just to
hear the city last night, Like you know how I am.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I'm very I get.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Into a game, I get very you know, emotional, and
it's fun as well to be able to be a
part of this because I do spurs countdown and spurs
post up. It kind of felt like we won here
as well, you know, like you're part of this team.
You've watched them grow and the emotion on Victor winbin
Yama last night was awesome.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And they're making fun him for crying. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And okay, see you're you're making fun of our guy
for crying. But yet your players do TikTok dances and
they show up with Gucci bags. What is TikTok McCain,
Jared McCain that makes SGA has done him. Chet Holmgren
has done him.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But I'll tell you this, chit.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Better get out of Oklahoma City today. He better be
on a plane to Cancun already because that guy did
not show up.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Which there's an app out form in Okay, see right
now there should be.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I mean, I'm already seeing dude, I am seeing so
much not hate, but so much banter about him because honestly, dude,
that's a game seven, and it honestly felt like the
Spurs had been there more often than the OKAC Thunder,
you know, And I think Thunder fans and the Thunder,
you know, honestly thought that they were just gonna win.
(11:42):
They just thought that, you know, the NBA gods were
gonna line this up to make this happen, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
But nobody or nobody is happier today than you know who, Shane,
You know who that is. Jeremy's so handed. Okay, there's
like a whole there's like a holistic guys. Win or lose,
is gonna get a ring?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I mean it's up to the team that wins, right, yeah,
to make that decision, which by all means when the
Spurs win the finals, I'm gonna put it out there.
I'm not talking negative here, but when we win the finals,
you know, we should get him a ring. You know
he should. He's definitely part of that first time ever, Shane.
I know the Cup history is very small, but you know,
shout out to see and biggest Puma because we did
(12:22):
talk about this Cup final and we said, how cool
would it be to see these two in the finals.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Here we are.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I'm gonna shout myself out because even though you were
saying it was a sweep, I said seven games.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, you said seven games.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I was trying to get rid of this this series
as fast as I could, but I mean, it was
a heck of a.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Series, wouldn't it be something? Because remember the first series
against the Blazers was five, then the Wolves was six.
Then the thunder was seven. What if they complete the
cycle and go four against the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I'm for it. I know you're for you. I'm absolutely
for it.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I mean, I mean, we're gonna break down that finals matchup.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
This isn't the Knicks from nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
No, this Knicks at is a and we talked about
they're a matchup for the Spurs because right fast they are.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And ironically enough, when the Spurs entered the ninety nine finals,
they were on a ten game winning streak. The Knicks
enter this finals on a ten game winning streak. I mean,
you kind of see the tails of the tape, right
But what's cool about it is that we have home
court advantage again. Now, all we got to do is
win in San Antonio, Shane, That's all we gotta do,
(13:24):
because I know the ticket prices are ridiculous, which we'll
get to in New York. But I do not want
to see Spike Lee court side come Wednesday night.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I kind of not want to see.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I want to see I want to do favorite go
up to Coach Pop's suite, go there, go out of
I don't want to see you, you know, because I
mean I can tell you, Julian Shampinny's going to have
fun with them.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Step Castle's gonna have fun with them.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
This is a This is another series where Vic will
actually have another big man that's actually pretty good to
go against. Because Chet did not show up at all
in this Western Conference Finals.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You know what I know? Come up on a break.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
We can push the sound segment to the segment after
because like, I want to talk more about the ticket price.
I want to I want to break down the knicks.
We haven't we haven't talked about them near enough.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, we can talk about let's do this, but again,
your Spurs, our Western Conference Finals champions this morning. I'm
sure you're getting your free coffee. I'm sure you got
your free taco. Uh. We're just getting started here on
the fanatics coming up next, Let's look into the finals,
because that's what we want to do.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
It's the fanatics. Son Ticket seven sixty
