Speaker 2: there's a lot of great communities out there. As a
Speaker 2: matter of fact, this episode, we are going to talk
Speaker 2: about you fans. We continue to talk about the fans
Speaker 2: and what's going on here in the off season with
Speaker 2: the trades. There are some big names that we have
Speaker 2: not talked about we'll talk about in this episode, but
Speaker 2: we're going to continue to call this off season US
Speaker 2: fans don't know shith ish, We'll say ISH, We'll say is.
Speaker 2: This is a family show. This is a family show.
Speaker 2: US fans don't know ISH. That includes you guys on
Speaker 2: YouTube and Twitter and in yours truly as well. It
Speaker 2: is all pure speculation. But we do it for the
Speaker 2: fun and the love of our team and the black
Speaker 2: and silver blood that runs through our veins with the
Speaker 2: San Antonio Spurs. That's why I do it. I bring
Speaker 2: you some perspective that I've seen with the teams in
Speaker 2: the past. I also bring you my comedic flavor from
Speaker 2: time to time, and you know what, sometimes I'll throw
Speaker 2: a little bit of what if in there as well.
Speaker 2: But I'll be honest with you, a lot of you
Speaker 2: guys out there on Twitter tend to take a lot
Speaker 2: of that what if ish and see if it sticks,
Speaker 2: and a lot of that ish is. Let's just say,
Speaker 2: you need more fiber in your diet in order for
Speaker 2: it to stick, all right, And we'll talk a little
Speaker 2: bit about that coming up in this episode. We're going
Speaker 2: to touch very lightly on the Yannis aka Patumbo situation.
Speaker 2: Here in San Antonio. Something tells me that's going to
Speaker 2: die out now. It was hot and heavy last week
Speaker 2: when the Spurs landed the number two and number fourteen picks.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about why I don't think it'll happen. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna tell you something that maybe a surprise move come
Speaker 2: draft day, but not having to do with the Spurs,
Speaker 2: and if it happens, I want to put speculation out there. Now,
Speaker 2: let's see if I can take my ish and make
Speaker 2: it to stick to the wall as well. We'll give
Speaker 2: you a scenario if it does happen that could help
Speaker 2: or hurt the Spurs, or do we stay the course.
Speaker 2: We're gonna take the Twitter as always pick out some
Speaker 2: of the favorite things we've seen over the past week
Speaker 2: or so. Again, keep in mind this show is broadcasted
Speaker 2: and recorded last week, so it is Monday today. However,
Speaker 2: we did pre record this broadcast. We will be talking
Speaker 2: a little bit of NBA playoffs today on the show,
Speaker 2: nothing too in depth, but if we do make any
Speaker 2: predictions and the games have already happened on the next show,
Speaker 2: feel free to send us a message on Twitter at
Speaker 2: comedian Katie and just laugh at us. That's perfectly fine
Speaker 2: as well if we get those wrong, okay, but pretty
Speaker 2: funny how when we do get things right, nobody says, hey,
Speaker 2: guess what, Katie, great job, you know, great job, dude,
Speaker 2: wait to go, you're really calling it now? You just guys, wait, man,
Speaker 2: you wait like seething lions to just rip us apart.
Speaker 2: But I love it. That's the great thing about the
Speaker 2: Spurs community. And before we get things started here today,
Speaker 2: a big shout out. We've got some big things happening
Speaker 2: on the show, starting the end of the summer, going

Speaker 2: But let's get into our talks, shall we? Of the day?
Speaker 2: And you hear it, it is the sound of the police,
Speaker 2: sound of the bat sets of Spurs. There's a police.
Speaker 2: You want to know why, because the Spurs are continuing
Speaker 2: to rob, pillage and plunder the NBA with what's about
Speaker 2: to come in twenty twenty six and beyond. Can you
Speaker 2: feel it, Spurs fans? I can feel it. It all
Speaker 2: started last week and we're gonna touch very vaguely on
Speaker 2: what happened last week. Of course, if you do not know,
Speaker 2: it's because you are not a Spurs fan. And listen,
Speaker 2: we're not laughing at you. Come on in, sit down,
Speaker 2: join the club. Okay, there's plenty of plenty of room
Speaker 2: on this bandwagon. By the way, move over there, Spurs Jesus,
Speaker 2: give us some room. Come on, come on now, you're Jesus.
Speaker 2: Live like Jesus as well. But I want to give
Speaker 2: a big shout out to you Spurs fans and you
Speaker 2: Spurs community for contributing to a lot of the news
Speaker 2: on this show as well. You guys are awesome. But
Speaker 2: let's talk a little bit about some of that news. Okay.
Speaker 2: A lot of trade rumors started happening last week. We
Speaker 2: talked about it on the show with Jannisakopatumbo Hot and heavy. Right,
Speaker 2: some of you guys are really taking that ish, trying
Speaker 2: to make it stick to the wall, and let's see,
Speaker 2: it's starting to slide down a little bit. A right now,
Speaker 2: we'll talk a little bit about Yanis and how I
Speaker 2: don't think it's a good fit. A lot of you
Speaker 2: guys want to give up so much for Yanis, and
Speaker 2: Yanis has got plenty of time left in his career.
Speaker 2: But the rumors out of Milwaukee now is that Yanis
Speaker 2: Okatumaita does not want to leave the East. So where
Speaker 2: does that leave the Spurs. Do we go back to
Speaker 2: just staying the course. Do we take a look at
Speaker 2: some other free agents that may be out there. Do
Speaker 2: we go out there and look at certain trade opportunities.
Speaker 2: And there's been some interesting names popping back up to
Speaker 2: come to San Antonio again. And there's some big name
Speaker 2: Celtic stars we're going to talk about as well that
Speaker 2: may be interesting in joining the Spurs a little bit
Speaker 2: later on the show. But it's all things Yanas. This
Speaker 2: draft is all about Cooper Flagg and Janis Akap Patumbo.
Speaker 2: And I want to tell you something. I think something's
Speaker 2: going to happen in this draft that could be a
Speaker 2: far far possibility. I'm gonna take my ish as well
Speaker 2: and see if it sticks for you guys. Here in
Speaker 2: a minute about the draft, and it doesn't have to
Speaker 2: pertain to the Spurs, but it does pertain to Yanasaka Patumbo.
Speaker 2: I don't see him coming to the Spurs. A lot
Speaker 2: of you guys on the ex community and more have
Speaker 2: been saying we need to give up so many people
Speaker 2: like Devin Vessel, kJ Sohan all at once. Do you
Speaker 2: realize that a lot of those guys are the heart
Speaker 2: and soul of the team now. DV is interesting because
Speaker 2: he does have two years left on his contract. We
Speaker 2: do got to make room for some of these other
Speaker 2: big name contracts Fox and Wemby. But what does that
Speaker 2: do when you bring in another huge star? Well balances
Speaker 2: out the spreadsheets, so to speak. Right, Devin is an
Speaker 2: interesting piece to the puzzle for the Spurs. He has
Speaker 2: been up and down. We've talked about it. Last season.
Speaker 2: I thought he would really take a more of the
Speaker 2: role of the twenty point score and there were some flashes.
Speaker 2: Man he had that one march Man he was red
Speaker 2: hot from behind three point range. I still think he
Speaker 2: can be that guy. And guess what he's into is
Speaker 2: what next to the last year on his contract. I
Speaker 2: believe I don't have it front in me. What do
Speaker 2: they usually do their last two years of the contract,
Speaker 2: they blow up because they want the Spurs or another
Speaker 2: team to sign them for a big contract the rest
Speaker 2: of their career. Devin sells an interesting piece for the Spurs.
Speaker 2: So if you were able to deal for Yanna's five
Speaker 2: draft picks, maybe two stars and a bench player, that's
Speaker 2: a lot. And I know you're saying, Katie, that's too much. Well,
Speaker 2: what do you think the Lakers gave up for Luca?
Speaker 2: I think Gianna's is a better player than Yuka Luca. Sorry,
Speaker 2: and I like Luca pretty interesting. With the honest I
Speaker 2: don't see him coming to san Antonio. The rumors Aaron
Speaker 2: san Antonio now they want to draft Dylan Harper. We
Speaker 2: were little upset, I'll be honest with you when we
Speaker 2: heard that, because I think we still need length. I
Speaker 2: think Ace Bailey can do that. Started seeing some of
Speaker 2: the rim percentages that these players can get to the
Speaker 2: rim at and you guys were right on the money
Speaker 2: with Dylan Harper. I kind of invested myself into watching
Speaker 2: some more Dylan Harper videos and studying him a little
Speaker 2: bit over the last week. Dylan's a monster. He reminds
Speaker 2: me of Steph Castle. And can you imagine if you
Speaker 2: have them on the court at the same time. With Wemby,
Speaker 2: with Fox, it's gonna be interesting. You can add in
Speaker 2: a Sohan in the mix. And yes, I'm projecting that
Speaker 2: Chris Paul will not be here, but this is what
Speaker 2: I think the Spurs should do. Pure speculation. By the way,
Speaker 2: if we signed Dylan Harper, we need to sign Chris
Speaker 2: Paul again. Look what he did for Steph Castle. His
Speaker 2: mentoring is ingenious. If he still wants to start, which
Speaker 2: Chris Paul believes he still can. He only plays about
Speaker 2: twenty to twenty five minutes anyway, He's not taking away
Speaker 2: from minutes. Castle will get more minutes. Wemby will be
Speaker 2: on the floor. He'll be sporadic. Wemby, I think he'll
Speaker 2: be anywhere between twenty five to thirty minutes to start,
Speaker 2: and then we'll see how his health is and then
Speaker 2: that'll increase. But a healthy Wemby on the floor, with
Speaker 2: a healthy Fox, the sky is the limit. Here in
Speaker 2: San Antonio, we're playing with house money. Guys. It's like monopoly.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've ever played Monopoly, but the
Speaker 2: key is to wipe out your opponent and say you
Speaker 2: own a lot of pieces on the board, and you're
Speaker 2: getting ready to go around the corner and you still
Speaker 2: need Baltic Avenue to complete the whole stretch. And then
Speaker 2: around the corner where boardwalk is, you offer one thousand
Speaker 2: dollars for one hundred dollars property, and that person's like, now,
Speaker 2: I don't want it. What happens to them? They get
Speaker 2: eaten alive. That's where the spurs are right now. We
Speaker 2: don't have to buy in. We can sit there and
Speaker 2: wait until they eat themselves alive in the market. Because
Speaker 2: this is going to be a deep draft. This is
Speaker 2: gonna be a fun draft. A lot of people are
Speaker 2: projecting that Flag may not even go number one. Now
Speaker 2: I don't know why. That's not speculation from me, but
Speaker 2: insiders are saying that Flag may be a bust, and
Speaker 2: not in the way of he's gonna be horrible. He's
Speaker 2: gonna be a great player, he's gonna be an all star,
Speaker 2: but to be that wemby Zion Lebron category, I mean,
Speaker 2: Zion's not even Zion and he's coming into his own though.
Speaker 2: If he stays healthy, Oh, Zion's gonna be nasty next year,
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag, they don't see him there I think that's
Speaker 2: just because his run in the tournament was kind of average.
Speaker 2: We expected him to be above average and be that
Speaker 2: guy to carry the team in just thirty points a game,
Speaker 2: but that didn't happen. Speaking about thirty point games, Dylan
Speaker 2: Harper put one up against Alabama thirty seven. Any college
Speaker 2: player that can put up thirty seven points is dynamic.
Speaker 2: Dylan Harper, son of Ron Harper, NBA legend, has that
Speaker 2: knowledge man. Spurs know what they doing. They know what
Speaker 2: they're doing. Spurs fans, Let's see what you guys think
Speaker 2: you're knowing here on X, let's head to X. I
Speaker 2: love reading some of y'all's posts. The best one I
Speaker 2: saw of the week was from at wemby Muse. That's
Speaker 2: wemby w emby Muse Muse. It is a parody count
Speaker 2: as well, and he says, Spurs fan, which pill are
Speaker 2: you taking? Here's four scenarios, Spurs fans, four scenarios? Which
Speaker 2: pill are you taking? You can actually at wemby Muse
Speaker 2: or at Comedian Katie. I would love to see your responses.
Speaker 2: Here's your first scenario. Take the red pill, stay the
Speaker 2: course draft, Dylan Harper, keep Fox and Castle, take a
Speaker 2: wing at number fourteen, take the green pill. This one's interesting.
Speaker 2: Trade for Lori marketen. Trade the number two pick Devin
Speaker 2: Visel and contracts for pick five and marketing, so we
Speaker 2: would still be in the top five. We can lay
Speaker 2: maybe Land and this is what he said. I didn't
Speaker 2: even read it Land con Kinnepple, which that would be
Speaker 2: big for the Spurs as well, to get marketing and Kinneple.
Speaker 2: That's the green pill, blue pill, trade Castle Keldon Viassel
Speaker 2: and the number two pick for Giannis. Get the hell
Speaker 2: out of here. Get the hell out of here. I'm
Speaker 2: not taking the blue pill, yellow pill. All in on
Speaker 2: the future draft Dylan Harper trade the number fourteen pick
Speaker 2: for the number nine take Derreck Queen out of Maryland.
Speaker 2: And I don't like this one. Look to deal Fox eventually.
Speaker 2: I don't like that one. Keep Fox, Keep Fox. I mean,
Speaker 2: sign them to a five year deal. Get through the
Speaker 2: five years and then see where we're at. That's what
Speaker 2: I would say. Who you picking red pill, green pill,
Speaker 2: blue pill, yellow pill from wemby muse at x who.
Speaker 2: It's tough, right because you want to stay the course.
Speaker 2: But that Louri marketing trade is very interesting. Isn't it
Speaker 2: Louri marketing. I think is very underrated in the NBA.
Speaker 2: I think is under fits the Spurs club. He's that
Speaker 2: type of player we like. Gianas, I think is too
Speaker 2: much of a glitz and glam, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: San Antonio is not about that. I think Gianis would
Speaker 2: overshadow the team, overshadow the growth of Wemby. You heard
Speaker 2: it from me first. I love Giannas too, But Wemby
Speaker 2: has still got these veterans and Chris Paul, Harrison Barnes
Speaker 2: to help teach him the game as well. Plus did
Speaker 2: you know that here in the offseason he's been working
Speaker 2: with a kim olajuan A. Keem does private sessions I
Speaker 2: guess for fifty thousand dollars, and Wemby's taking up those classes.
Speaker 2: Something to throw in there. The yellow pill is interesting
Speaker 2: as well, but I would not get rid of Fox,
Speaker 2: so I'd stick with the red pill. Spurs fans, which
Speaker 2: pill are you picking? Great take from Wemby muse on Twitter?
Speaker 2: So as you can see a lot of big names
Speaker 2: out there starting to be thrown around. That's because the
Speaker 2: Spurs have a lot to play with. The latest one
Speaker 2: I saw includes two big names three actually from the
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics. If the Boston Celtics lose this series, which
Speaker 2: it's a big possibility because I'm being honest with you,
Speaker 2: the game is technically tonight, even though you're listening to
Speaker 2: this again Monday, this is pre recorded. I picked the
Speaker 2: Knicks and six. I said, if Brunson has a huge
Speaker 2: series thirty points or more, this series is over. I
Speaker 2: don't think they can stop Brunson. They're going back to
Speaker 2: New York. I believe New York wins at home. Celtics,
Speaker 2: I believe are done. They were our pick at the
Speaker 2: beginning of the year to win the NBA title, to
Speaker 2: go back to back. Tatum's injury might be a little
Speaker 2: bit of a concern. So what does that do for
Speaker 2: the Celtics in the future and possibly the San Antonio Spurs.
Speaker 2: How about bringing back Derek White. Nobody's thought about that.
Speaker 2: What if you trade your picks two and fourteen for
Speaker 2: Derek White does have a big contract though, one hundred
Speaker 2: and eleven million. I think through six years, I believe
Speaker 2: he's the third or fourth highest paid Celtic. It's a
Speaker 2: lot of money. It's a lot of money, But Derek
Speaker 2: White world champion, been there big time in the playoffs,
Speaker 2: and on top of that, he's a leader and has
Speaker 2: won a gold medal. Derek White's a nice piece if
Speaker 2: we can bring him back. Now, the other ones on
Speaker 2: the team, they were looking at KP Chris bos porzingis
Speaker 2: to help Wemby. But what I don't like about that
Speaker 2: is he's always hurt. You know, he's he's hurt twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five games a year. So for a decent contract,
Speaker 2: maybe Jalen Brown is the other one. I don't think
Speaker 2: Jalen with his attitude, fits San Antonio. We tried that once,
Speaker 2: right Spurs fans remember his name, Dennis Rodman. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't think that's gonna happen again, something like that. I
Speaker 2: don't Jalen's a great player, but I just think his attitude,
Speaker 2: the toughness would be cool. But I don't you know
Speaker 2: if he fits. You know, I think so Hand and
Speaker 2: kJ are our toughness. We've seen that through several scraps
Speaker 2: and scrums from the previous season. I think Jeremy's gonna
Speaker 2: take that roll on a little bit more.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 2: I don't think Jalen Brown's a good fit. So these
Speaker 2: are possible trade options for the Spurs, and that's a
Speaker 2: lot of options. Three big names there, Lori, Marknen, then
Speaker 2: you also could be in the mix for Gianni's I mean,
Speaker 2: that's a lot. That is a lot for the Spurs
Speaker 2: to be involved with. And I think this is why
Speaker 2: you're gonna see podcasts like this and other podcasts and
Speaker 2: YouTube and the Spurs community continue to kind of ruffle
Speaker 2: the feathers because there's a lot going on here in
Speaker 2: the off season and we're just getting anxious. We're just
Speaker 2: getting anxious, aren't we. It's kind of like being a
Speaker 2: bird at a zoo and they're throwing the food in
Speaker 2: the water and we're just sitting there flapping waiting for
Speaker 2: them to throw it. It's going to be an interesting
Speaker 2: run here in San Antonio in the off season going
Speaker 2: into twenty twenty six. Now we've talked talked about free agency.
Speaker 2: We're not going to dwell on that. We say it
Speaker 2: each and every week. I think if the Spurs stay
Speaker 2: the course, stay the course. If I'm playing GM, Katie
Speaker 2: is GM. Before we close this show, we'll talk a
Speaker 2: little bit of NBA action, and that's it. If I'm GM,
Speaker 2: I stay the course. I again, I go with Weimby
Speaker 2: Muse and draft the red pill, Dylan Harper, keep Fox
Speaker 2: keyp Hassel, get a big at fourteen, because who knows,
Speaker 2: maybe somebody like a conk Nipple could drop. Maybe we
Speaker 2: can trade up for Conkinipple. You know, we can give
Speaker 2: a piece to our puzzle away and bring in a
Speaker 2: young big like him. Might work, or the other possible
Speaker 2: scenarios spurs fans before I go into my GM move here,
Speaker 2: what if Dallas trades the number one pick. We've seen
Speaker 2: this all over ESPN. We've seen a lot of NBA
Speaker 2: analysis mention this. I mentioned this when I found out
Speaker 2: Dallas Le's getting the pick. Kyrie Irvin is out next year.
Speaker 2: Why bring in that youth. Work with the youth you have.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a long year for Ad. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be a long year for him. But if you brought
Speaker 2: in somebody like a Yannis, you have Yiannis, you also
Speaker 2: have Ad then Kyrie in two years, that's a formidaal
Speaker 2: three man team to try to win a title within
Speaker 2: the next three four years. Talk about the West being
Speaker 2: even wilder. You could have Dallas Houston, San Antonio okc
Speaker 2: oh Man. That'll be dangerous. In the next couple of years.
Speaker 2: What if they trade the number one pick. What if
Speaker 2: they do not pick Cooper Flack. What if they draft
Speaker 2: someone for their needs? What if they take a Dylan Harper?
Speaker 2: This could happen. Dylan Harper has been projected to be
Speaker 2: the number two pick for a very long time. We've
Speaker 2: seen this happen where the number two pick will oversee somebody.
Speaker 2: You're like, wow, the number one slipped. Dylan Harper would
Speaker 2: fit them with Kyrie out get more playing time, interesting
Speaker 2: piece there. So what does that do for the Spurs?
Speaker 2: If Cooper Flag drops some of y'all just wet your
Speaker 2: shorts out there. I'm gonna be perfectly honest with they
Speaker 2: had somebody, I'll just crapped your pants. You can smell
Speaker 2: the stench from over here. What if Cooper Flag comes
Speaker 2: to San Antonio? I think he'd flourish better here. I
Speaker 2: think he'd flourish better here. I had a conversation with
Speaker 2: one of you Houston Rocket fans on Twitter a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks ago, and you want to deal read Shepherd
Speaker 2: because Jalen Green and you know you've got a couple
Speaker 2: other stars there that are ahead of him, and so
Speaker 2: Reed's not getting the opportunities Reid with somebody. The Spurs
Speaker 2: were looking at a shooter. Cooper Flag fits that mold
Speaker 2: with a lot more skill set than Reid. A shooter.
Speaker 2: Somebody can put it on the floor, somebody who can rebound.
Speaker 2: Spurs fans, would you go after Cooper again? All these
Speaker 2: big names in San Antonio because we have the assets
Speaker 2: we have to control in the NBA, We really do
Speaker 2: us in Oka see okac can make a huge trade
Speaker 2: and get rid of a lot of their assets, and
Speaker 2: we stroke We kind of struck up this conversation as well.
Speaker 2: A guy can see leaving Oka see as Chet Holmgren.
Speaker 2: He doesn't look like he fits that system anymore. You know,
Speaker 2: you got Jalen Williams. You also have Sga Harkenstein. He
Speaker 2: just don't seem like he fits that mold anymore. So
Speaker 2: a lot of interesting pieces moving around here in the
Speaker 2: NBA off season. Let's take a look a little bit
Speaker 2: at the NBA playoff schedule. I wish we had a
Speaker 2: little bit more to go over some of the horrible
Speaker 2: takes on X here today, but maybe we'll do that
Speaker 2: in the next episode. Oh big shout out, Can we
Speaker 2: please give a big shot out. We almost forgot this
Speaker 2: big piece of news. Big shout out to Greg Popovich,
Speaker 2: Greg Popovich, and I just saw city officials are voting
Speaker 2: on renaming the San Antonio International Airport to Greg Popovich Airport.
Speaker 2: Very interesting, fun news for Greg pop There our buddy
Speaker 2: kwan Wick. He is kind of more of a a
Speaker 2: troll on X but we like some of his things.
Speaker 2: But according to Clutch Points, it says city council members
Speaker 2: of San Antonio have filed paperwork to consider renaming their
Speaker 2: airport after Spurs president and recently retired head coach Greg Popovich.
Speaker 2: The proposed name is San Antonio Greg pop Popovich International Airport,
Speaker 2: and kwan Wick says, a little much. I think that's
Speaker 2: a big name. I agree with you. How about Pop
Speaker 2: you know, like Pia, you know Pop International, you know
Speaker 2: Pop International Airport, something like that, you know, San Antonio
Speaker 2: Pop International Airport or something like that. They should shorten it, right,
Speaker 2: they should short it. But congratulations, it looks like it's
Speaker 2: going to go through according to city council members here
Speaker 2: in San Antonio, Greg Popovich International Airport. There you go,
Speaker 2: that's all you gotta say. You know who Greg Popovich is.
Speaker 2: Of course, people from overseas are like, why am I
Speaker 2: flying in the Greg Popovich International? Who is that? Google it?
Speaker 2: Google it all right. Let's take a look at the
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs though coming up again, this is pre recorded. Okay.
Speaker 2: We talked a little bit about the Celtics and Knicks,
Speaker 2: who are playing tonight, which is Friday night. I know
Speaker 2: I'm confusing to you with a pre recorded show. Calm down,
Speaker 2: have your coffee, have your you know, monster inergy drink
Speaker 2: or whatever you're taking. But the Knicks play the Celtics
Speaker 2: tonight at home on ESPN. We'll talk more about that
Speaker 2: next week. But will Lee, we believe the Knicks are
Speaker 2: going to take that. That will not go seven games. However,
Speaker 2: here's a very interesting scenario. We knew that the Nuggets,
Speaker 2: OKAC would go seven games. You think the joker is
Speaker 2: gonna go down without a fight. This series has been
Speaker 2: pretty pretty tight. Other than a couple of games. Other
Speaker 2: than Game two one forty nine, one oh six for
Speaker 2: the Thunder, Nuggets won one twenty one one nineteen Game one,
Speaker 2: they won Game three one thirteen one oh four. Thunder
Speaker 2: just beat them in Game four ninety two eighty seven,
Speaker 2: Game five one to twelve, one oh five. This is
Speaker 2: playoff basketball. This is fun. This is fun. Nuggets one
Speaker 2: nineteen one oh seven the other night, uh tying up
Speaker 2: this series Game seven in Oka See. Okac's fans are crazy,
Speaker 2: but man, i'd like to see the Nuggets take them.
Speaker 2: And we know why, write Spurs fans, because we're jealous.
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, we're jealous. I just don't think the
Speaker 2: Nuggets have enough firepower. I believe the Thunder take this
Speaker 2: in Game seven, and I believe the Thunder lose in
Speaker 2: the Western Conference finals. I think Minnesota's going Minnesota just
Speaker 2: have some ballers on that team. I know they played
Speaker 2: a depleted Golden State team. So calm down, Wolves fans,
Speaker 2: you played a depleted Golden State team. Now you have
Speaker 2: time off. I think you'll lose Game one. I think
Speaker 2: that'll go seven games if you play ok See. I
Speaker 2: would like to see a Minnesota OKC matchup because those
Speaker 2: team I'm sorry, Minnesota and Denver matchup, because those two
Speaker 2: teams meet each other better, they match better. I think
Speaker 2: it'd be very interesting to see in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 2: Congratulations in Indiana Pacers, Man, this is the team I'm
Speaker 2: pulling for I love underdogs. I'm a Spurs fan. Of
Speaker 2: course I'm gonna pull for the underdog Pacers. Of course
Speaker 2: advance they'll play the winner of Boston and New York,
Speaker 2: so we could possibly see Pacer versus the Knicks. That's
Speaker 2: a nineties matchup rights fans, but I love to see
Speaker 2: the Pacers. I think that'll go seven games either way.
Speaker 2: I think the Eastern and Western Conference finals will go
Speaker 2: seven games, So we'll talk more about that in weeks
Speaker 2: to come. Here on the show, we've got more Spurs
Speaker 2: talked than to shake a stick at. But guess what,
Speaker 2: no matter where the Spurs are going to be here
Speaker 2: in the offseason, no matter how many wins or losses
Speaker 2: they have next season, we still have that black and
Speaker 2: silver blood running for our veins because that's what Spurs
Speaker 2: fans do. Thank you, guys to all the contributors to
Speaker 2: the show, the newcomers coming on, the new fans coming
Speaker 2: on in. Thank you for like loving and Sharon, and
