I LOVE DIRK but all are sleeping on DETROIT PISTONS. Cade should win MVP this season. Underrated.
OKC had a lot more "playoff" experience than SA has right now going into last playoff run. In 22/23 they played 2 play-in games, a win against the Pelicans and a loss against the Timberwolves. Then in 23/24 they 4-0 a series against the Pelicans and lost 4-2 to the Mavs. 12 playoff games for OKC vs 0 for SA for both the team and coach is a big gap.
finally without haslem it looks like something
i mean, Wemby took France on a deep Olympic run. and they were in it until Curry went ballistic. that counts as playoff experience to some degree.
What a freaking lineup, i love this crew
Area 51 MVP can make the finals. And win a ring at 22 years old.
The other early 20 years old finals MVP was Magic Johnson at Lakers in 1980.
Not only are the spurs good, they’re also young. Gonna be scary for the rest of the league
I want Taylor Rooks on every NBA show
Excellent insights from these 3 vets
Spurs is deep. They can have many guys to score.
count spurs out at your own peril. Nash knows what hes talkin about. It aint just wemby.
lol is that even a question…
People also forget that while it was not the NBA, Wemby competed for a championship in the top Euroleague just a month or so before getting drafted- he also got some experience via the 2024 Olympics where he took his French National team to a silver.
The Hornets are legit the biggest threat right now
No shit Sherlock. They beat them 4 out of 5 already this year. OKC’s 15 min of game are over. 😂
Don’t sleep on the the Spurs! This team is scary!
I’d love a Denver vs spurs series
Denver to me is potentially the most likely to make it out of the West. A healthy and well-rested Jokic is going to put up some unreal numbers. Not sure Wemby has the physical stamina to get through a couple of playoff series, especially if they go to 6 games.
I believed I'd never see a basketball show as good as Inside the NBA but here we are.
Taylor does a good job of being the host. I understand experience matters but what the spurs have been doing needs to be noticed. I understand Denver but that was last year? This is a new year so let’s judge but what we currently see? Not by what we’ve seen!
Spurs nation in this bih
Spurs swept okc heller
Wemby shut down cade like hes in kindergarten. Wemby should be the mvp not cade
No the Spurs are a threat to all top teams! 4-1 this season speaks volumes,
Taylor look is stunning
Another show with no respect to the spurs, I love it, keep it coming, keep counting out my Spurs. Thanks Nash for the flowers. These other dudes blind too
I think Denver is one of the most overrated teams. Haven't made it past the 2nd Round since they won the title.
When they won the title they beat a 7th seed in WCF and an 8th seed in the Finals.
They have a historic offense because of Jokic, but also a bottom half defense. Means they win playoff games, but also lose a bunch, which leads to long series. That won't work for 4 playoff series.
Denver will get bounced in the 2nd Rd this year again
Wemby
Spurs are that good but if they can stay healthy, they are the team to beat. I don't think OKC are in the same vicinity of the Spurs right now. One thing that we don't see much from OKC is the swarming defense. Average team height of OKC is less than that of Spurs and that the swarming defense doesn't work. If OKC is going to go far they're gonna need a very high 3-pointers percentage. That's the only way unless they can get a good 7 footer now from somewhere to get a good matchup inside the paint.
