Walking gingerly

Really, the only thing that worries me with the t wolves is the coaching being a possible advantage...so im hoping that mitch is ready for the challenge and is preaching the "appropriate fear" pop thing...because the only weakness I saw from this team this season is they sometimes believe all the hype about themselves and come out a little too comfortable and then have to be reminded of the necessary work.

One other thing- wemby appeared to have settled himself just a hair and it makes all the difference...when he goes "superman" and tries to go baseline to baseline and attempt something superhuman - he can wow the planet - or he can also put his body in a precarious predicament.

Just settle down and dominate under control and spurs are unstoppable.

Lets fucking go then.


Ant, you’re my favorite non-Spur and hope you stay healthy, but fuck this guy for the next 2 weeks

Wait, the game is only getting aired on Peacock? Am I seeing that right?

Im watching it on Amazon. I apparently have Peacock through it.

Good point, Finch has shown himself to be a brilliant playoff tactician. His teams have raised their level of play 3 straight years now in the playoffs (though I would say they under perform in regular seasons) winning multiple series that they were underdogs in. Finch will find match ups and tendencies to exploit, Mitch needs to keep up.

Somebody hold me and tell me it’s gonna be ok I’m so nervous and excited

It looks like for this round if you want to watch the games you have to have Peacock, ESPN and Prime, as they alternate. I would have thought NBC would be nimble enough to play the obvious game for the local market. To clarify, they are not nimble.

I expect a lot of "suck my peacock" jokes in San Antonio tonight...

Ok i did the Peacock free trial thing

1 more hour

Yeah my bad, I had actually written that two hours ago in the quick reply and forgot to delete it


It's annoying how you delete it and it comes back.

No CB is gonna be tough tbh. Castle's gonna need to stay out of foul trouble.

The spurs had big leads in all their match ups against them this season, I fell they’ve gotten better as the season has gone on holding leads, they need to lock in for 48 min

They've been to two straight conference finals and won last series unexpectedly

Will be a tough series

Should the Spurs win this? yes. Will the Spurs have moments of struggle? probably.

Damn thought that was a me issue only.

I've been in a coma for the last 2 weeks, tbh. What time to the Spurs play the Nuggets today?

 

[Corso]

No time to fool around. We better close this before Ant is back

No Fear

Yesterday.

Amazing how many Spur fans are excited that Ant is playing in the sense that if he ends up playing great they will end up hating him in these upcoming weeks lol. It reminds me of the time when Spur fans loved CP3 before the '08 playoffs and ended up hating him immediately once the Spurs played against him.

Hope I don’t end up eating these words but you gotta admire Ant and his competitive drive.

AD and kawhi would be in street clothes if they stubbed their toe on the coffee table and here is Ant just begging to suit up no matter what.
