  1. UD is weak as a host. He needs to be more relaxed. It's hard to watch him. It's like his insecurity is showing everytime he speaks. He should drop those notes too, makes him look unnatural. Reading your notes while someone is speaking makes you look amateurish.

  2. The BEST group of NBA commentators. Griffin, Nash, Dirk and UD don't need to scream and create drama. They're so good and elevate their critiques two levels compared to the rest.

  3. Lol baityass title.
    Are the Spurs a threat to OKC?

    Bro, we have cold hard evidence the Spurs spank OKC every chance they get.

    OKC is good enough (esp with their dirty tactics 😒) that it probably won't be a clean sweep but just going off what we know Spurs are going to dominate.

    These teams are hardcore rivals

  4. OKC won their series due to depth and a solid floor, offensively and defensively from Chet. SA has an answer for everything…except one.

    As I said against the Pacers, Dub will be our difference maker in this series. If he shows up healthy, OKC will win this series

  5. Stop with the Wolves not being healthy … lame excuses they were at 80% healthy. + you forgot to mention that the Spurs faced better team than OKC with the wolves and blazers

  6. Looking at the way UD speaks about the game, I realize why the HEAT kept him on the roster for all those years even though he didn’t play much. He is a great basketball mind and he must’ve been an amazing veteran on that team.

  7. I get Spurs are a better team then Portland,and Min was injured,But why aren’t they talking about how OKC is way better than The Suns and the Lakers,in addition the Lakers didn’t have Luka.OKC had a way easier path to the WCF

  8. Helps so much for the Spurs that they have such an amazing support system. Tim Duncan always visits and offers sage advice, so does Pops even with his stroke. The Spurs are primed to dominate for this decade.

  9. A part of me feels that part of wemby’s maturity and passion/urgency to win now, is because he understands that he isn’t promised a lengthy career in tiptop physical shape. He has to maximize his physical attributes right now, steel his mind and take his physical therapy and health maintenance very seriously. I’m rooting for the spurs to win it all💪🏾

  10. A lotta dirty foulbaiters and foulers on that okc team. Refs better call it out, or Wemby-san will take matters into his own elbows😂 I found Lu Dork to be an eyesore for a long time.

  11. That's a dumbas comment, it for sure matters what they did in regular season. Also, saying Spurs won because wolves had injured players is bullsht. Spurs were holding top 3 all conference season. Guess when you have billionaire bezos owning part of sports is disgusting.

  12. With OKC, it would be like the Spurs looking in the mirror. These teams share almost the same strengths and weaknesses. A lot of guard play, movement, and active hands in defense. There are two crucial advantages though for the Spurs. One is the 7'5" who takes up a lot of space. That is according to the opposition themselves. The other is our guards are slashers and can create plays for themselves and their teammates. OKC's guards are 3 and D specialists who are not shot creators or playmakers for their teammates, wherein lies their slight advantage in 3 point shooting. OKC's offense can be single dimensional with a ball dominant SGA, inviting double teams, then spraying out to open 3 point shooters. If the double team is not there, he would go one on one and exploit his advantage there. The Spurs may be content in Castle defending SGA one on one and allowing those jumpshots (preferably forcing him to take 3 pointers instead of those mid-range jump shots), and helping only on drives. Castle, Fox, and Harper are better offensive players than the OKC guards. That and Wemby's gravity offensively and defensively should carry the Spurs in this series. Fox had his way with Dort and Caruso in the regular season games because his speed negates their size and physical play. With Castle and Harper's improving offense, look for them to attack SGA and make him work on defense. Spurs in 6.

  13. thats one aspect that gives the spurs the upper edge on the thunder. the thunder have coasted by and have yet to have a series where they need to make adjustments and such. lets see how they do against wemby.

  14. I disagree. Only way spurs lose is if no one is hitting 3s. When we are hitting 3s, that makes the defense shift, which opens up the floor. If we cant hit 3s, they lock up the floor and force us to shoot

  15. The way Victor hates Chet there is no way he, him, personally is gonna allow himself to lose to the Thunder. If Wemby has to play every position, he will beat the thunder 😂😂😂

  16. HI SPORTS ON PRIME SAN ANTONIO TEXAS N THE HOUSE 🏠 I JUST WANT TO SAY WHO EVER DOUBTED THE SPURS IS CRAZY LOOK AT THEM NOW!!! OKC IS THE NEXT VICTIM 😂😂 LET'S GOOOO SPURS
