I'm pretty sure our players won't be responding this way to Jadon Mccdaniels running his mouth at them..

There's no rivalry with the T'Pups yet so I doubt we see much trash talking unless this becomes a long series tbh. If anything, it seems like there's a lot of respect both ways imo.

looks like the Wolves had the nuggets shook

I’m not expecting him to make much of an impact whatsoever. That knee has been all jacked up for like two months now. He’s not healthy. At all.

I wouldn't even play. It's not like they will beat OKC without a healthy version of Edwards and no Donte. But I guess I'm just use to the Spurs being overly cautious.

Gonna come down to how the early part of the series plays out imo. If the Spurs win the first two games they prolly hold him out for game 3 to see if the home crowd can carry the T'Pups to a win. If not they shut him down, if they do they prolly throw the dice and at least play him game 4. OTOH, if the T'Pups steal a game in SA he comes back for game 3 100%.

It was unfortunate that TD and KG only met in the playoffs once. It should've happened in 2004; that would've been epic.

They actually met twice in the playoffs, 1999 and 2001. That 1999 series was when KG told TD Happy Mother's Day, knowing TD had lost his mom.

Would be a waste for them to put him on Fox imo. I think Castle will dominate the Gobert matchup since he got used to being guarded by Cs in the first round. OTOH, I think he'd struggle against McDaniels. I also think McDaniels will ultimately be their best bet against Wemby. Not to mention they won't have an answer for Vassell with Ant and DVV being out; the loss of those two really limits their options defensively. Again, fully healthy the Spurs would struggle against the T'Pups in the half court on both ends imo.

hmmm hard disagree i wont lie he weighs the same as fox, him on wemby would be free eats like he's getting bumped off everytime

yeah this I think there will be much less of the heat between the two sides, I think fox and ant are maybe friends or at least friendly have seen both talk about mutual admiration, and ant seems to have a lot of respect for what wemby is doing
