Who you who you like right off the top, funk

off the top?

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Man, I'm gonna tell you after I saw Wenby back
versus okay, see, and he didn't really play a lot.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
His impact is undeniable.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Dog because the Spurs they playing well without them, but
with him out there, they are different force.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
And man, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Are the Spurs contenders?

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I mean because that's what they look like. I mean
that was the first time.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
Man.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Listen, man, are they content to watch? I mean, they
got they got they ain't got really no experience. They
got fox and a bunch of boys. But can they
really do some damage? I'm like a million kids.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
They listen, Bility, kid wasn't grown you understand? Listen, man,
you got fight hard and Kouda Listen, Bro, you already
know P you man, listen. Them boys they young, but
they they young Marlows. Bro. They they they confident right
now and they all believe in each other. Sometimes when
you watch them play young Bull golf do his own thing.

(03:55):
You didn't see him with de Fox in there. You
didn't know what it looked like.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Now, Man, def go out do you. Man.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
It's it's it's a bunch of man p. We just
need to let this keep baking. Bro. Man, it's it's
it's it's when I watch them play against Okay, see,
I don't know if it was because it was okay. See,
it makes you go to another level, you know what
I'm saying. Yeah, yeah it is, and they took it
to another level.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Of that game.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
So yeah, yeah, I'm just watching that. I'm watching winby
actually dominating not just the offensive n P, but the
defensive end.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
You feel me, Yeah, yeah, yeah, he gonna be defensive.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I'm putting him in there. I'm putting them in there.
They play like this, play with this together and this
this young spirit bro spurt Man, bro Spurs basketball is
up right now.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
I gotta see it for a long period of time.
I need a twenty game stretch where I'm like, all right,
because they played well when he wasn't in the lineup,
and I'm like, damn, he influenced the game so much.
But the only thing I'm concerned is about the experience.
I do think they'll beat the Knicks in the cup finals.
Really like the Knicks. But I think I think san

(04:58):
Antonio's coached well to be such a young team. I
love what foxes giving him. You know, earlier in the year,
I was like, our trade Fox, I will not trade five.
He give my veteran presence at the guard.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Like he's saying, he's stay you watching Pete right, you
ain't even let it cook.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
No, I didn't even let it cook. Nah.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
But I like that because you need a poison guard
like him when you get into like these type of games,
like the cup finals and in the playoff run, you
need you need somebody who got a little more experience.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
People, did you check his decision making down the stretch
when he kept pushing it, when he kept you know,
then he then he slowed it. And then when you
watch Harper come in, Harper was on the same they
was on the same line. You know what I'm saying
boom and then they speed it up. I love what
this team can be. Like you said, I'm with you.
It's corn bread, you feel me. We gotta let the corner.

(05:48):
It's a little soft, you know, jiffy. You gotta let
it stay in there a little long. You know what
I'm talking about. So I want to see this golden
up a little bit hard en up, and you know,
see it, and lord, I can't wait. I can't man,
I can't wait to see what the young spurs like.
You feel me, because they got potential, but they just
they just showed me a glimpse of what this can be.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
I'm trying to figure out who the Knicks? Who the
dude the Knicks put on Wendy, who's on guard?

Speaker 1 (06:11):
On? So if if, if, if I'm New York, I
actually would start Big Josh first off, hold on, let's
do this because we gotta give the Knicks some credit. Brunson,
Kat and Josh hart O, g all those gott listen, man,
the Knicks have been playing really really good basketball under

(06:31):
the radar. Two P. I don't think too many people
talking about them. I don't see him in a bunch
of narratives, like, you know, obviously the Spurs beating Okay,
see that was that was everything?

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Right? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (06:41):
But man, the Knicks been playing quiet decent basketball, man,
really solid basketball. Brunson is Brunson. If we're talking to MVP,
if we're talking early MVP, K should be in there.
Bruns like the guys who are in these big Marcus
p Man playing in front of masson square every night.
It ain't no easy task, bro, you gotta bring it.
He brings, He's consistent, got cat going. Josh Hart is

(07:05):
like the glue to all offenses and defenses. You feel me? Yeah,
I like the Knicks man, Like you say, it's always
you know where they're gonna end up being in the end,
you know what I'm saying. But yeah, man, I think
the Knicks were playing really good basketball, and just under
the radar.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
They offense look a lot better because this forty piece
that Brunson got is a different type of forty piece.
It wasn't the dribble dribble dribble forty piece. You know,
it was like it was, you know, it was a
different share. The ball moved, transition, quick decisions. I like
the way the Knicks offensively looked compared to last year.
And if they can be like this throughout the course

(07:42):
of these the only thing I'm concerned about is they depth,
you know, but man East should be I mean, Nicks
should be favored to come out of the East if
they are relatively healthy for the most part. I think
mister Robins Hilly over Philly. Yeah, I mean, I Pheelly
haven't had a good stretch games to where I could

(08:02):
say they look legit, you know that one game they
look good, one game they don't.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
One game.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
You know, they ain't gave me a good stretch of
games to where I could be like, they're a contender.
So right now New York is a favorite to probably
come out the East.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
And I'm waiting to see how san Antonio mature over
the course of this season and then before I you know,
say they're a contender right now. But I got san
Antonio winning this championship game. I got weinby, I got
wenby given getting the MVP and making a statement.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
I like what he said. Did you see what he
said the other day? Ticket? He said, who's the best
player in the league?

Speaker 3 (08:36):
And he says, well, since I've been out it's probably
shay Or or Giannis, but when I'm back, he said
it's me. I was like, WHOA, that's the attitude I
like to hear from him. He believed he the best
player in the league and not scared if he believe
in that.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
So, you know, the first part of insanity is when
you when you hear it, and when you start to
believe it, then you start walking that journey and you
have to be a bit off and think that to
yourself and for yourself. You know, I always say, man,
people going to the gym for what you gotta have

(09:11):
a purpose. Peek, and this kid really has a vision.
And I talk to him. I'm telling you, bro, every
time he says something, it just goes back to that
conversation and he's locked in Pete. He's trying to get
to a place of domination. But he's growing his confidence
throughout all of this. Why he soaks up you know
what I'm saying, Like, it's a bunch of stuff that

(09:33):
I'm seeing him do that when we get in the gym,
I want to be able to simplify and help him
with that. He's doing naturally, So it's nice to see
him evolve naturally, I don't know who they have, then
that's that's helping them develop. But yes, pers if y'all listening,
I would love to come in there and get a
session with him. I'm a huge women fan. I think
that Scott's the limit for him. Man, he gotta he

(09:53):
got a whole another He got a whole nother ceiling. Yeah,
he can actually be something we ain't seen in a
long time, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
All Right, So look, I'm gonna give you an update.
I'm gonna go out there. I'm gonna check out this game.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, give me the Vegas man, I'm gonna give you
the vibes. We're gonna recap this in a couple of days,
come back Wednesday. Yeah, we're gonna recap it. But who
you got? Who you got in the championship?

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Man?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
He I like the Spurs. They look really well. I'm
not even gonna go against this, you know what I'm saying.
But if we're talking Vegas, one game championship on the line, man,
But it's hard to go against body man, big body
brunts and man, you man, listen, body is built for this.

(10:42):
We gotta give him one game where he gotta play great.
He got Cat, he got you know what I'm saying, Like,
we're not talking like I get that the Spurs beat
OKC and they're there, They're probably their confidence is on
a thousand right now. Right What we're not talking about
is the Nick confidence and not only the Knicks confidence,

(11:02):
the Knicks quiet confidence to come out and get this done.
I think they're gonna have the energy. I'm gonna go
with the Knicks, man, just because of I know Cat's
gonna look forward to this. Cat's gonna be up for this.
Anytime he plays the leagues of the other bigs that
that are considered the best are gonna be considered the best.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Man.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
He man, listen, bro give me the Knicks, man, I'm
gonna take the Knicks. I like the Spurs and what
I saw. I just think that the Knicks got a
better when it comes to experiencing games like this or
bigger games.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Well, they say the Spurs is a team of the future,
but I believe the future is now tick.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
So that's really don't see, that's real, that's real. You
said you're taking the Spurs. Taking the Spurs win be
the m v P Ooh, I'm gonna take. I'm gonna
take the knicks, and I'm gonna say Brunson or Cat
is the.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
M v P Bru's an orca obviously if one of
them wins, come on.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Ain't no one to fucking impact the game to get
that ship.

Speaker 2 (11:58):

and ship taking on? Hey a p Wimby more or less?

(12:48):
Twenty Wimby for the in the championship game more or
less and he's averaging twenty two points. Hold on, do
you think he has to score over twenty five to
be impactful for them to win? Can he win with
him getting eighteen, twenty ten and ten.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
I'm gonna go less than twenty two, and it's twenty
two and a half twenty. I'm gonna go less because
I think it's gonna be on minutes restriction still. Second
game back, I'm gonna go less because he just came back.
He only played twenty minutes the last game.

Tip.

Speaker 1 (13:27):

did in twenty minutes.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So if he gets like
eighteen and eighteen, I.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Don't think they win it. I don't think he can
do that. If they trying to win, This game's.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Gonna be a low scoring game. I think it's gonna
be a low scoring game. I think it's gonna be physical,
it's gonna be slow.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I'm going less, you know what I'm going more. I
think if if, if the Spurs have a chance to
beat the Knicks tonight or whenever they play, or when
they play in the championship, If the Spurs got a chance,
if the Spur's gonna have a chance to beat the Knicks, win,
me are gonna Amis has got to have a big game,
