Speaker 1 (00:04):
You guys in shocked, I would say, you know, I mean,
I'm one of them, right, you know. And so I
was reading an article earlier today and you know, you
kind of look at Wimby, right, Yeah. And Wimby was asked,
obviously what happened with that play that he had, and
he said, to quote him here, he said, I threw
(00:25):
that one away. I messed up. We didn't play great
as a team. We needed to win that game. This
game was ours. But at this point it's done. Am
I gonna regret it? Yes, of course, but I'm also
going to use it to fuel me and fuel us
for the next game.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That sounds like someone who's learned that you can't run
from the.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Media and you have to you have to get those
BS answers.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Well, let's be honest.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I think the real answer is he's frustrated that it
happened at all, and I appreciate he's taking on.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Himself, but like the rest, that honestly was just filler.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, but I mean you got to look at you know,
it's a good response, right. It's one of those where
you're just kind of like, okay, it's sure you threw
it away, you know, And speaking of throwing it away too,
did you see that Mitchell Robinson's technical was taken back
from Friday night?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Remember he had a technical kind of shoving.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, so they you know he was shoving, he gets
a technical foul. Even me watching it, I was like,
that's that's not a technical foul on just him. That
would be a double t. Hey, guys, knock it off.
That looked mutual at they rescinded it. They said, oh
that we take that back. Sorry, Yeah, my bad.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
The free throw still counted and free throws.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
You know, he was fifty percent. But you know, as
we moved.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Apologize after a bad call at the end of the game,
it's like, oh, we apologize that the game.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Is already over.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And as you move forward to to game three, I
mean obviously you look at well, maybe if the Knicks
don't score one hundred and five points, they won't win.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I mean, the first two games they scored one hundred
and five points.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Maybe if the Spurs don't like you know, lead their
feet on shot attempts and jump into fouls, maybe some
of those points don't land. Because that's that's what that's
been frustrating me watching them is like when they go
up for a lot of these blocks. I rather just
get in the guy's face and don't jump up and
let them go into the foul like even if the
shot lands. I rather the shot land and you don't
foul them, because one, all you do get them free
(02:13):
throw at siems, but two you you're one more foul
away from getting kicked out of the game, right, I
don't need that.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Two one zero seven three six nine seven sixty, you
give us your thoughts for game three. The phone lines
are open all morning long for you. Even if you
want to vent, that's fine. You can vent about it.
We can talk about it. Make sure that you have
a easy Sunday as well. But two one zero seven
three six nine seven sixty, you give us a call,
let us know your game three, what you want to
see from the San Antonio Spurs. And I think you
(02:40):
know for me, Shane is I want to watch these
guys bounce back offensively. We we've got the gritty defense.
I'm not worried about our defense right Our defense has
has literally punched them in the mouth. You know, Brunson's
getting tossed all over the floor and there's no calls
on it, which is fine.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
We definitely focused on making them say, hey, everyone else
has to beat us, not bruns Yea, the problem is
everyone else has beating us.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Right, you know, and that is the problem.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I'll let Brunson have thirty points.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I just don't want to have Mickel Bridges have thirty
points because when he gets twenty points, and I mean,
that's that's a tough, tough thing. The one thing I
also want to see is Steph Castle come to life.
I haven't seen him in two games, to be honest.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
With you, Yeah, Steph Castle has been kind of a
weird situation because.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
And I know he's kind of hurt too. Right now.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
He's not listed on the injury re list tomorrow because
again in the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
He came up limp and in the last game he did.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
He did and a lot of people were kind of
worried about that, and you know, they're.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
They're like, oh, no, is he out? And I'm like, no,
this is the NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I don't really mind a lot of the output I've
seen from their primary five. We can go six with
Dan Harper, it's the other guys, Harrison Barnes. I'm not
seeing a lot of the dirty work effort that we've
seen that we've seen recently with him. Kelton Johnson, You're
sixth Man of the Year, has been incredibly inconsistent all postseason.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
People have said that he's disappeared after the award.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Luke Cornett has had games where he's been a reliable
defensive guy, but we've he's also given up in as
that this has been a commed of cards too too
many offensive and defensive rebounds and rebound attempts. Yeah, and
Carter Bryant, you can't trust him on the court for
more than five minutes most games.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
But that's fine.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Carter Bryant is in Mitch Johnson's back pocket for anything.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
But there are some games you can put him out
there for tenor plus minutes because he's been so much more.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Reliable, not in not in this series.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I believe this series he's gonna get three minutes, four minutes,
and he's gonna get more fouls than he has points,
because that's what we're gonna use him for. Right, We're
gonna we're gonna put him in to rough up Runson,
and even if he picks up two quick fouls, that's fine.
That's what Mitch Johnson. He is a body, right, Carter
is a body. Let's be honest, and he's he's done that. Well,
(04:43):
I'll give Mitch Johnson credit for that. Dylan Harper is
a guy that everybody wants him to start, not the
Aaron Fox. Can we talk about this? We can talk
about this because I hate the fact that Spurs fans
just totally don't like.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
De Aaron Fox.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Hello, he's hired, starting veteran, he's been.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Here, he's your all star point guard.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And did he have an off night on Wednesday? Sure,
but he wasn't the only Spur having an off night.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And he followed up with a great performance in Friday.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
And in what people say to me, Well, Dylan Harper
needs to be our guy, our starter, eh Now, Dylan
Harper could be this guy that could be the next
six man if you wanted to at this point, you
could argue.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Though, that Harper should be starting alongside Fox. Because the
thing is like, if you look at Friday's game Wednesday objectively,
Daron Fox did not play well.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Dylan Harper was your best player bar none.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
On Friday though, second half victim women, Yama, whole game,
darreon Fox whole game. Sorry, yeah, whole game, Dylan Harper,
those are the guys you relied on. Even Devin miscell
I would say the second half as well, because it
not only were his three point shots land, he was
playing really good defense.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
He was si.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You know what the rope problem is is that like
the Knicks match you up so evenly to where like
you have two really tall guys and you're playing pretty
much small ball across the board because Champagne's are four,
he's what six six six evan at best?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, and he's playing your four.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yep, So they're they're all both these teams are playing,
are playing fast, smaller lineups.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And what we're seeing too is Darren Fox and Dylan
Harper they're almost playing alongside each other too. Thirty four
minutes for Daron, thirty two for Dylan. Right, Dylan has
become the guy off of our bench. Keldon Johnson, Man,
did you work your.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Butt off for that six man award? He absolutely did.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
And I'm not gonna slam this guy, but again, this
is the furthest he's ever been, you know, in the
in the finals or in the playoffs, you know, but
as you get into game three, now, there's something that
does come into play that doesn't happen on the court Chaine,
and that's the President of the United States.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
This guy's gonna make it all about him, pregame all
about you.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Know, he talked about Victor the other day. Oh he's
very tall. I like this guy. He's very tall. He's
a tall guy. He's a tall guy.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Right, But then he's a Knicks fan, So go get
that curse. That's that's what I'm gonna.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Say, right, the Ted Cruz badge and this this crowd, right, yeah,
will not be the crowd that was here.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I feel like we had the Nick fans that are
true Nick fans come here, right and thank you for
not starting any fights, and thank you for not doing anything.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Stupid Ben Stiller.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You freak me out a little bit because you film
everything with your phone.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Everywhere Ben Stiller went he was filming. It was weird.
It was weird.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I don't know if he's ever been to Antonio. That's
the thing.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Tracy Morgan was here.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
You know, well, no, not really can understand what Tracy
Morgan says anymore.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
No, but you know, you kind of see here everyone
loves Spike Lee and you know what you're right.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Spike Lee was here, but I never really saw him
on camera that much.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Now he was chilling.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
And that's another thing that they're going to do in
New York. Right, celebrities are out tonight.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
It's the same celebrities.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Seinfeld. I'm sure Seinfeld will be there. The distractions in
New York can hurt both squads.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
This is gonna feel like a very elitist game, I
feel like.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But I also think that the French media will have
more of a presence there in New York. I think
that you France is closer to New York. Why not
summer vacation, go see Victor? I mean, do what you
gotta do. You know, as you get to Game three,
bottom line, the Spurs don't win this one, Shane, it's over.
I agree, even if they make it a gentleman's sweep
(08:25):
and win one game up there, this is the game
they have to win. Yea yeah, And honestly, their offense
has to find themselves because the last time they were
in Madison Square Garden they got their butts beat by
twenty And now granted that was a twelve o'clock noon game,
and we did not do well in twelve o'clock games. Well,
these are all seven thirty. This is eight to thirty
(08:45):
up there. The Spurs have got to win tomorrow. That
is that's the bottom line. They don't win tomorrow, it's
done by Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I need three things from the Spurs.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Okay, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Number one, offensive rebounds.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
The Spurs have have been abhorringly terrible compared to the
Knicks at grabbing offensive boards. The Knicks are out ore
out rebounding them on the offensive side two to one
through the series. They need to get more of those
offensive rebounds. Number two, And I mentioned this last segment.
Whenever someone goes up for a shot attempt, especially when
there's like three seconds or less left in the shot clock,
(09:19):
don't jump with them. Just get your hands just get
your hands in their face and let them take a
bad shot. If you let them get free throw attempts,
I'm talking to you, Steph Castle, one point six left
on the shot clock, when you allow when you have
a three point shot him was hammer Champenne.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
No it waste it was Steph.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, don't do that. Just just love a guy.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Just put your hands up like, don't let don't give
them those free shots and last but not least, like
we talked about, like, you know, guys like Carl Hnton,
how's being the MVP. Jaylen Burns has getting a lot
of his points in these aspects. Most of his points
are coming from three point shots and free throws. What
you can't what you can't do, Dylan, is you can't
let the bench guys control some of the series. Landry
Shammitt has been huge your guy. So you talking about
(09:57):
Miles McBride, high profile shooter. He's only gonna take like
five shots a game, but he's gonna make three of them.
You need to, like you need to make sure that
your bench is at least competitive with theirs.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yeah, those are the keys.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And also I love the fact that Wimby because I
know that we got to go to break here, but
I love the fact that Wimby is a team player.
Let me tell you something. Wimby's got to have a
game tomorrow. Wimby's got to get forty, has gotta be
a little selfish.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Well, he's got it.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
And you have to look at Carl Anthony Towns and say,
I own you, You don't own me. Did you know
that Carl Anthony Towns here's a fun number for you.
Is shooting sixty two percent when he's guarded by Wimby.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I believe that.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I believe that, Hey, that ain't shut home grin over there.
That's Karl Anthony Towns. He knows what he's doing. He
can shoot anywhere. He's a big guy. You gotta do better.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Jordan Reid, who covers the draft for the NFL, said
that Wemby needs to get on that Yannis plan because
Johns was really a thin guy the way way Victor was,
and now he's rocked up.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Get getting that get getting that weight room this summer.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
So just imagine Winbying with fifteen more pounds of muscle.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I would like twenty, but yeah, fifteen will be fine.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Chad Holmer and will go into retirement. He will disappear.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
He will go off to an East Coast team to
where he doesn't have to see this guy anymore.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
You know, So, what do you want to do next?
Speaker 5 (11:15):
You?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
You got sounds?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Right?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I got some sounds?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Are you ready for sounds?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
All?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Right?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Coming up next?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
We've got our Shanes sounds of Saturday or the weekend
or the week off. That's all next on the Fanatics
on tickets. I'm sixty
