Speaker 1 (00:05):
Now we have people saying, what a disappointing season?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Is this a disappointing season?

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Sort of sort of and here's why.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Okay, I keep getting this kind of similar question asked
by you and.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Andy ever and our friend has asked a similar question
to this. I've even had people who like, when they
ask what are you doing?

Speaker 4 (00:26):
I tell them about this and that similar question has
kind of come up in a different way of phrase,
and I tell at them and I'll tell you the
exact same thing. I say that we know consistent, all right,
If we're going based on our expectations in October, it
was a huge success. If we're being real, we're being
real to what we know as Spurs fans, and that
our expectations shifted at the end of December and start

(00:50):
of January from we're a playing team, maybe a six
to five seed, to we might be the best team
in the Western Conference.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Then, yes, if we were to get swept, it.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Is incredibly disappointed because because at that point you're telling
me in February, we're supposed to be in the championship,
so this is really just business as usual. And if
they go into this, if they go to the finals
and they get swept, then yes, that would be this point.
Now if we're talking about objectively, you know ten years
having not been in the playoffs, three years of twenty

(01:19):
win seasons, yeah, one of them was due to injury,
with the guys like Wemby having blood clotts and Aaron
Fox having the hand issue. They just kept them out
as a precaution. And then we jump into that back
into the finals. Then that end of itself is remarkable
because in miss Johnson's first year as a full time
head coach, he makes to the finals. And yes, there
there's definitely success to that. Wemby was the unamous defensive
player the year. There's never been a unanimous defensive player

(01:39):
of the Year. Caldon Johnson becomes a win six Men
of the Year, so there's definitely successes along the way.
My answer to this is that it's only a disappointment
if you look at it from the midway point of
the season, right before the All Star break, to where
our minds, every Spurs fans mind shifted from were a
playoff team to where a contender. And if that's the case,

(02:00):
you can't it's one thing to lose the championship. You
can't get swept. That would be the disappointing part.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, I think that. You know, that's true. You can't
get swept. And again, it's not like this team can't
win on the road. I'm not worried about them not
winning on the road, or you know, I don't. I
don't have the sweep in my head yet. I'm worried
about me thinking that they're just gonna split the series
up there. You know, worst case scenario right now is

(02:26):
for New York to lose their streak, right, I got you,
and that's what we want to happen. But as we
get into Game three, I don't see this as a
disappointing season. I mean, we're sitting here, you know, we
thought they were gonna be a you know, forty five win.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Team, you know, and you had a great breakdown of that.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
You know, it's like, okay, well here, but once we
got to February, okay, this is what I'm expecting now.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
And to be okay. See.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
What sucks is that if the Spurs lose this series,
a lot of the talk will be, oh, well, you
wasted all this energy on OKAC.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
And I think the mindset in Game one was like, Okay,
we beat OKAC. We're at home.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
We're relaxed, we're chill, even though the Knicks had been
off for fourteen days, and you could tell, you know,
from the shooting, the Knicks have not shot well, Shane,
they have not shot well in this series. They just
had one or two players have a good game. They've
gotten breaks, They've gotten some major breaks. I mean, if
it wasn't for Wimby's, I don't know what that was.

(03:36):
We're talking about a split series. I feel I feel
that we would have been able to run down the clock.
I know they you know, we would have been able
to do something there. Game was tied, Brunson made one
to two, by the way, it was still had a
chance at the end.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
But you also can't miss free throws, a high volume
free throw they have.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
They made seventy in game too.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
But this hot shooting Spurs team has gone cold in
these finals.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
This is not the team. This is not the team
that played okay.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
See if this team played okay, see we're down on
two against this.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Is the This is the team that lost that one
game to the Trailblazers and almost lost a home game
to Portland.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, that's what it looks like for sure, you know,
and but you have to win tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Tomorrow's they must win, say Antonio, I'm not gonna cut
the cut the biscuits, or whatever they say around here,
cut the gravy, or maybe.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
I'll cut the gravy here, I got you. Yeah, I'm
just gonna you don't win this one. Cool.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Maybe you'll get a gentleman's sweep, maybe you'll get one
up there, but New York is set on sweeping them.
New York is gonna come out, guns of blazing, no
pun intended, you know. But I also think Shane, that
the crowd is gonna be different up there.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
I don't, I don't.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
I don't know why, but I just feel like it's
it's a crowd that the New York Knicks are used to.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
And I think Champagne is going to go off in
New York.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
I think that he's going to have two great games
up there, and we need to utilize that. And I
think every Spurs fan is going to tell you this,
to stop shooting so many threes. But again, you live
or die by the three in the NBA nowadays. Again,
this is a team that has averaged almost one hundred
and twenty points a game, so you let me know.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, it looks like we got a caller coming in,
a caller. What's your name? Where you're from? What you take?

Speaker 5 (05:33):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Doorstown Sunday, Happy Sunday, sir.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
Don't think man said it was acting really depressed, like
I've already lost this series already. I believe. I think
they make a win to sick, but I believe that
the Spurs can come back and they can't win. While
the Knicks are a complete squad. They never reminded the
second Rocketterampionship with Clod and Dream and a bunch of

(06:02):
role players like you got Stepped Castle, you got Dylan Harper,
you got Fox, Like really, no one's consistently stopped them.

Speaker 6 (06:13):
They've believe stopped themselves. And I want to give Shaye
some flowers. You've been on the New York Knicks since
the Atlanta series when they were down, and all of
a suddenly, now you're jumping off their bandwagon. But you
did call them going all the way.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
But yeah, that's mostly I don't think the series is
over at all. I definitely see the Spurs winning won
in New York. I see the Spurs coming back to
San Antonio winning another one and then you know, we'll
see from there. Anyways, guys enjoying the show, You'll have
a great Sunday.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
I mean, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
I think the fact of I appreciate the flowers, Yeah,
being down or doing whatever, it's it's the reality setting it,
you know, and I think for a lot of Spurs
fans it's reality.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
I'm not disappointed. I'm still saying that.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
You know, come Monday, Hey, they're they're gonna win, you know,
I mean they're gonna win, and.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Uh like the harsh reality of like they they need
to win, right, It's it's just it's just knowing that
like with the Spurs, like you said with the only
time we've been close to anything like this in the
playoffs is when we lost the game to uh West,
the opening game to the Wolves, and then we we
were down one to two against the Thunder. But those
are still close enough eyes story, We felt good enough
about it. We were not only are we down two

(07:27):
in this series, it's it's we lost them at home, right,
that was the thing we let we uh we And
I'm being very like open with the word we hear
we allowed Knicks fans to buy those tickets and pretty
much split the crowd. You could hear the let's go,
let's go Knicks chances as like as you can hear
the ghost Spurs go.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
That was the frustrating aspect of it.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
And and you know, I can't you can't even blame
officiating in this series because like, even though we had
guys like Scott Foster and Tony Brothers are our best friends,
they haven't really been as.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Much of a factory.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, yeah, let them play.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
They're letting them play.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
I can appreciate exactly.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
If you're gonna let both teams beat the crap out
of each other, we can't come. We can't complain about
the fishing at that point, it's like, okay, both teams
are allowed to do it.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
You're not going to get any any freebies.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
And that's the thing is like that's the type of
basketball I like. You know it pound for pound right now,
you know, Cats getting knocked to the floor, Wimby's getting
knocked to the floor.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Castle.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
The one thing I want to see Castle do is
finished stronger. I know he does that. He's real good
at getting into the lane, doing that pump fake trying
to get that draw in the fouls, yep, finish those man.
You know how many and ones he could have because
again he's not really a great free throw shooter either,
you know.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
But I think they just need to lock in.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
And I think this is where the Spurs do their
best is on the road, dyll.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
And if I told you going to the playoffs the
spurs best player at driving the lane was Dylan Harper,
you would have been like, are you sure it's not
Wemby or Steph Like those guys have made a lot
more sense. Yeah, I don't like. I mean, I love
it for him. I don't love though on a team
full of other really good players. Right, your rookie has

(09:05):
objectively been your best one in both games. To me,
Wimby didn't really show up in Game one until the
fourth quarter. He didn't show up in Game two until
after the first half. Yeah, I need I need a
full game from him and so, and that's the first
rating thing is that like I believe Wimby. I don't
believe that Wimby is like scared of the moment. I
don't believe that Wimby is soft. I believe that he's

(09:30):
I believe he's having a hard time adjusting from one
series to the next. I believe him when he says, like, wow,
we had to let go of like the pride from
from winning the Western Conference into the finals because the
Knicks they were happy to be here, but they.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Moved on and they knew that they had four more.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
When Wimby's gone up against guys like like Mitchell Robinson,
he's been fine.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
When he's gone against like oh Jannobi, he's been fine.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Cat's been in this surprising because we talked about like
could they put another could put a team put a
wing or another guard on Wimby, and they've they've match
big for big. They said no, we want Kat to
do it, and Kat is and Cat Honestly, if you're
looking at him like okay, like this is another guy
that was also kind of thin coming out of coming
out of college, and he booked up as will might
be something to look to look for.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
I definitely think Wemby's gonna get bigger.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
He needs to.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Oh it's indeed, yeah, he will, you know, and he's
gonna be scary. I mean, the Spurs are scary because
and again Mike Brown's gonna respect the Spurs It's not
like he's thinking it's over, because any series can flip,
you know, and imagine that you get you get game
three up there. Now the headlines start talking about, Okay, hey,

(10:38):
maybe nobody wants to win at home, you know, maybe
they just want to win on the road, right, But
I mean, in.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Order for us to.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
In order for us to win a series, now, we've
got to win up there, you know. And so it's
lock and loaded. They did it in Portland, they did
it in Minnesota, they did it in Oklahoma City.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
I don't I'm not saying that they can't do it
in New York.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
And we alright, we already talked about the keys going
going into this game.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
We want to see I definitely don't want to see
them jumping up on any shot attempts and getting those
free throws, Dylan, they need to make those easy shots.
How many times they drummed in the lane or they
missed the shot. How many times they had they've met
the free throw line and they miss one or both
free throws. That's been maddening because especially in Game two,
when you're lost by one point, absolutely, how many of
those little freebies they had that could have altered the game.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
It's it's very frustrating to say the least.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
You know, again, it's not the team that we've been
used to seeing right exactly, And they'll turn it around
and then tomorrow night, if you have nowhere to watch it,
we will be over at the Rock. Spurs Countdown, Spurs
Post up will be over there at the Rock. Come
on out RSVP online as well to get your your
chance and when you r s VP guys, just to

(11:45):
let you know, that puts you into a raffle there
that gets you all like kind of some codes and
some savings when you rs VP over at the Rock.
Game one, they actually had to close off the Rock
because of capacity. Game two, people kind of stayed away.
I broadcasted in a rain shower during game two. But

(12:05):
come on out to the Rock. It's a good time
and if you don't have anywhere else to go, check
it out. And there's other places to watch the Spurs
as well, But you got to stay behind them, you know.
No matter what, I don't want to see this from
San Antonio, where it's just like we kind of disappear
from that fan base. I still think this team can
come back and win it. We saw the Milwaukee Bucks
do it. We've seen the Golden State Warriors, or I'm sorry,

(12:27):
the Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Cavaliers do it as well. Cleveland was down three to one,
remember that.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Everyone remembers that.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, and that was the Warriors were the best team
in the league.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
That kind of ended their dynasty a little bit. It did,
or at least at least derailed it.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
And again I think when we look at the New
York Knicks, I mean, why not them be the team
that you know, gives away a two zero lead and
they come back to San Antonio for a critical Game five.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, that's what we got a cheer for.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
I mean, in the games this week, they're on Monday
and Wednesday, and a Game five would be Saturday if necessary.
So you got Monday Wednesday for your San Antonio Spurs
in the NBA to.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Bring it back to San Antonio.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Let's bring it back to San Antonio and I think
they will.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
So coming up next, I want to get into the
sandlot of the fanatics on ticket seven sixty
