Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls basketball fans, San Antonio
Speaker 1: Spurs fans, Welcome to this rip roaring fast break edition
Speaker 1: of the San Antonio Spurs Weekly podcast with your point
Speaker 1: god whoa no, whoa whoa whoah point guard.
Speaker 2: Sorry, hey, everybody, what's going on?
Speaker 3: Welcome to another edition of the San Antonio Spurs Weekly
Speaker 3: Fast Break Ripport. That's right where we take the ball
Speaker 3: from the inbounds and we pass it up to the court.
Speaker 2: To Mamo for the jam.
Speaker 3: As we talk a little bit about last night's action
Speaker 3: and how I ate some humble pie.
Speaker 2: Last night for you Spurs fans. I've been doing it
Speaker 2: all year long.
Speaker 3: Okay, this makes me a great Spurs fan and also
Speaker 3: a fan of over forty years.
Speaker 2: I will admit when I'm wrong. I will also take.
Speaker 3: The heat when I say something bad. And they play
Speaker 3: very very well. Last night, the San Antonio Spurs jumped
Speaker 3: out to a twenty five point lead on the third
Speaker 3: place New York Knickerbockers in the Eastern Conference, who have
Speaker 3: been having very good year this year, one of their
Speaker 3: best years in a very long time now. Of course,
Speaker 3: they did not play with Jalen Brunson last night. But
Speaker 3: they still have plenty of firepower on that Nick's side.
Speaker 3: But san Antonio last night, at times in the game,
Speaker 3: you're sitting there going.
Speaker 2: Who's going to be the firepower?
Speaker 3: Because san Antonio ended up coming up with a starting
Speaker 3: lineup of Jeremy Sohan, Devin Vessel, Chris Paul Harrison Barnes,
Speaker 3: and Steph Castle. That's a small lineup for the Spurs,
Speaker 3: and the only starter over twenty points last night, of course,
Speaker 3: is going to be the rookie of the year, Steph Castle,
Speaker 3: half of Area fifty one. He had twenty two points,
Speaker 3: three rebounds, three assists. The rest of the starters did
Speaker 3: have double digits. However, But how about this. When you're
Speaker 3: a Spurs fan and you look on the point totals
Speaker 3: and you see Jeremy Sohan with only ten, Visel with
Speaker 3: only ten, and kJ with six, You're wondering, what the
Speaker 3: heck is going on?
Speaker 2: How are we going to win?
Speaker 3: Steph Cassel couldn't carry the team? Right, Well, they didn't
Speaker 3: have to. One of the best nights in NBA history.
Speaker 2: And I'm not just.
Speaker 3: Calling this because I'm a Spurs fan, Okay, I'm not
Speaker 3: just calling it because it was a great night for
Speaker 3: Sandrew Mamu Kalafala, Sana fin Avishevitch. Sorry, Sanjo, you know
Speaker 3: I'd love to have a little fun with the name
Speaker 3: as well. But Mamu man look like Manu Ginobili out
Speaker 3: there last night.
Speaker 2: He broke several NBA records. I don't care.
Speaker 3: How good Kevin Durant and Devin Booker were together last night,
Speaker 3: some of you guys on X I was going back
Speaker 3: and forth with you guys, kidding around, saying, hey, they
Speaker 3: may have had good nights, but did you notice what
Speaker 3: Sandro Mamu did last night? Thirty four points in twenty minutes.
Speaker 3: That is an NBA record. Nobody has scored that many
Speaker 3: points in that little amount of minutes.
Speaker 2: Also, seven of seven from.
Speaker 3: Three point range, and he was twelve of thirteen from
Speaker 3: the field ninety three percent. I want to know when
Speaker 3: you have ever seen a better performance, and I'm putting
Speaker 3: it out there.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry since Michael George.
Speaker 3: You can laugh at me all you want, but I
Speaker 3: have not seen a player take over a game like
Speaker 3: that and just be on that much of a hot streak.
Speaker 2: Mamu did it last night. I don't know if it
Speaker 2: was because of flavor flav in the audience.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's because his family was there.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's because he's playing against his
Speaker 3: childhood team in the New York Knickerbockers.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was all three coming together.
Speaker 3: For a magical conjunction and time where Mamu was the
Speaker 3: star of the night for the San Antonio Spurs. Now
Speaker 3: we've talked a lot about him in the future as
Speaker 3: a Spur. Now business sense, it makes sense if they
Speaker 3: end up kind of pushing Mamu to the back, getting
Speaker 3: rid of Bassi, maybe resigning Biambo, maybe not even resigning
Speaker 3: Biambo and picking up somebody like a nas Red. But
Speaker 3: Mamu last night proved he needs a contract extension.
Speaker 2: This man shoots, passes.
Speaker 3: Scores, dunks, and I believe that if you just give
Speaker 3: him time on the floor, he's going to produce. The
Speaker 3: problem is they just don't give him time on the floor. Now,
Speaker 3: there were at times this year when he made some
Speaker 3: really bad decisions when dribbling the ball. He looked like
Speaker 3: he was all over the court looking for someone to
Speaker 3: pass to and just didn't know where to go. But
Speaker 3: let's pump the brakes a little bit. This happens to
Speaker 3: every NBA player. It happened to Chris Paul last night
Speaker 3: several times when the Spurs cannot find anybody on offense
Speaker 3: to step up. That was late in the third quarter
Speaker 3: when the Knicks were starting to make their run, after
Speaker 3: San Antonio was up twenty five in the first half
Speaker 3: and Mamu decided to take over. He had twenty one
Speaker 3: points in the third or fourth quarter. Twenty one points
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. This show is all about Mamu
Speaker 3: right now because he deserves his props. San Antonio Spurs
Speaker 3: front office. This man deserves a contract extension this year.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: His former career high was twenty eight points when he
Speaker 3: played for Milwaukee. And if you can put up twenty
Speaker 3: eight points when you're playing in Milwaukee with Giannis and Crewe,
Speaker 3: and then you come here and do what you do
Speaker 3: Mamu man I like Mamu.
Speaker 2: It makes me want to go out and get.
Speaker 3: A jersey right now, and number fifty four jersey. And
Speaker 3: you can tell that he loves playing here in San Antonio.
Speaker 3: You can tell that the Spurs love having him. He
Speaker 3: is that player where everybody's really rooting for. On the bench,
Speaker 3: you saw the guys on the bench, Steph Castle, Wemby,
Speaker 3: Chris Paul. I mean, Chris Paul was getting him the ball.
Speaker 3: You could see that Chris Paul was like, he needs
Speaker 3: to score, he needs to score.
Speaker 2: And sure enough, he did just that last night.
Speaker 3: And congratulations to the point God for really taking over.
Speaker 3: And it really seemed like one of those YMCA Basketball
Speaker 3: League games, you know, where the guy doesn't get a
Speaker 3: lot of playing time throughout the year and then all
Speaker 3: of a sudden you want to see that person do really,
Speaker 3: really well, and then they get out there and they
Speaker 3: do exceptionally well and you're.
Speaker 2: Like, just keep feeding him the ball. Sam Junder did
Speaker 2: that last night.
Speaker 3: A big win for the Spurs one twenty one oh five,
Speaker 3: pushing their record win total to twenty nine wins. Of course,
Speaker 3: last year only twenty one wins, on pace for the
Speaker 3: thirty one we picked if they had an injury ridden season,
Speaker 3: which they really have this year, we haven't had a
Speaker 3: healthy lineup. We want to leave you this on this
Speaker 3: fast break report, Spurs fans, do you want.
Speaker 2: To see this team, this core stay together.
Speaker 3: This is why we want to see this happen in
Speaker 3: San Antonio.
Speaker 2: We have talked a.
Speaker 3: Lot about possible offseason moves for another big name coming
Speaker 3: to San Antonio. But do you want a big name
Speaker 3: player to come to San Antonio that is gonna kill
Speaker 3: our salary cap for years to come, deplete our draft picks,
Speaker 3: deplete our trade options. When you've got such a camaraderie
Speaker 3: on this team, if you go back and watch this
Speaker 3: game and you watch from players one to twelve on
Speaker 3: that bench, even your injury ridden players, the smiles, the excitement,
Speaker 3: the flow of this team is like one I haven't
Speaker 3: seen in San Antonio in a very long time. Even
Speaker 3: the days of Tim Duncan, Jenoblee Parker it was business.
Speaker 3: This team is having so much fun and when they
Speaker 3: get out there and score, they can score. Would you
Speaker 3: want to see this core stay together? The cell Sohn, Johnson,
Speaker 3: Wemby Fox, Mamu, Malik Branham, big props last night to
Speaker 3: Blake Wesley. Three big assists and he's just a spark plug.
Speaker 3: If he can control that ball and get his jump
Speaker 3: shot down just a little bit more, he's going to
Speaker 3: be a deadly backup point guard. But last night it
Speaker 3: was all about Mamu leading the Spurs to victory one
Speaker 3: twenty one oh five and boy, congratulations again to him
Speaker 3: and the crew.
Speaker 2: It was just really cool to see, wasn't. It's both hands.
Speaker 3: One of those moments that we'll look back on regardless
Speaker 3: of how good or bad they played this year, and
Speaker 3: it'll make us smile. Kind of reminds me of the
Speaker 3: Wimby moment when he got on the mic last year
Speaker 3: and said I miss this shit and everybody lost their if.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It was that moment for the Spurs last night, and
Speaker 3: it couldn't have happened to a better player in Sondrew.
Speaker 2: Mama Kala fila seed. If you I know, can I
Speaker 2: try to pronounce it right? I should try to pronounce
Speaker 2: it right. Mamu Keller visit. I can't do it. I can't.
Speaker 3: We'll just go with Mamu Okay, But guys, man, I
Speaker 3: can't wait to see you guys in the Frost Bank
Speaker 3: Center Friday night. We will have floor seats. Make sure
Speaker 3: you're looking for me on the floor. All you gotta
Speaker 3: do is look for a really good looking, bald headed
Speaker 3: guy looks like stone cold Steve Austin if you bought
Speaker 3: him off of Wish.
Speaker 2: I'll be there with my kids.
Speaker 3: My best friend, my godson, and we're gonna watch the
Speaker 3: Point God.
Speaker 2: We are gonna watch Steph Castle. We're gonna watch Mamu. Mama.
Speaker 2: Hopefully you didn't party too much with Flavor Flav.
Speaker 3: Last night because we need you back here in the
Speaker 3: Frost Bank Center Friday night against the Sixers.
Speaker 2: And boy did I eat some humble Bye. I said
Speaker 2: we would. I said it. I said we would get
Speaker 2: blown out. I said it.
Speaker 3: But guess what I will eat humble pie like a
Speaker 3: crow until the winds come home for the San Antonio Spurs.
Speaker 3: We'll see you guys at the Frost Bank Center. Hope
Speaker 3: you get you guys, maybe some interviews fingers across. Also,
Speaker 3: we are going to try to get you some live
Speaker 3: recorded action as well and get you some fan interactions
Speaker 3: and see what we can do to close out the
Speaker 3: year on this show. But guys, thank you for listening
Speaker 3: to this fast break report. We just assisted it to Mamu.
Speaker 3: He just decided to hit a dunk, steal it on
Speaker 3: the inbound and hit a three.
Speaker 2: Congratulations, Spurs.
Speaker 3: Congratulations Mamu, and let's do it again Friday night in
Speaker 3: the Frost Bank Center. But just remember, no matter how
Speaker 3: good or bad. The San Antonio Spurs are playing. You're
Speaker 3: a fan, baby, you're a fan that black and silver
Speaker 3: blood runs through your veins and remember to go Spurs, Go,
