00:00Let's take care of last night and the impact of Victor Wimbayama, who has a concussion.
00:05So, you know, generally speaking, this is very random in the NBA.
00:09Okay, so guys sometimes come back immediately, sometimes they don't.
00:13If this was the NFL, it would be like almost automatic that the guy would miss a game or a
00:17week.
00:18I cannot be optimistic that Wemby's going to be back in time, let alone get on a plane to take
00:23on the Portland Trail Blazers.
00:25And if the Blazers, who I know you've liked a lot, end up winning in the next game, I mean,
00:30that means that the Spurs are going to maybe have to take this to seven games to win the series.
00:36I'm feeling really good about my bet to start this series at the Portland Trail Blazers plus two and a
00:41half.
00:41They just need to get one more dub.
00:43I wasn't necessarily expecting them to snag one in San Antonio to start off this series.
00:47But, yeah, obviously, you know, big vibes out to Wemby.
00:50I hope that he's going to be okay.
00:51But as the short term for the Spurs, this is bad news, Bears.
00:54Like you just mentioned, having to fly.
00:56I don't think they're going to want to rush him back just because of the importance of the players of
01:00the franchise moving forward.
01:02I mean, this is a superstar guy, top three in MVP voting.
01:04So they don't want to rush him back prematurely with a head injury situation.
01:09So very interested to see how he responds over the next couple of days.
01:12I'm not a doctor.
01:13I'm not going to pretend like I'm going to sit up here and tell you anything about concussion protocol and
01:17stuff like that.
01:18But just from a basketball perspective, as you said, I like this team, the Portland Trail Blazers.
01:23I've followed them all season long.
01:24I knew they were going to give the Spurs a run for their money.
01:27I didn't know that it was going to happen this early on.
01:29Denny Oddby also didn't really play very well last night.
01:31Shot the ball pretty poorly.
01:32But Scoot Henderson was fantastic picking up the slack.
01:35You got some veterans on this team.
01:36Drew Holiday made some great plays down the stretch to kind of get the win for the Portland Trail Blazers.
01:40And now we turn the page, go to Portland, two games.
01:43Spurs got to grab one of these.
01:45Otherwise, this is going to turn into a completely different storyline going into the next few days.
01:50But again, be on the lookout for what this is going to mean for Wimby.
01:53I'd be very surprised if he plays in game three.
01:55I don't think they're going to risk it.
01:56Maybe you see him in game four if he does respond well to the treatment.
01:59But just be on the lookout for that.
02:01And yeah, like you said, pesky Portland.
02:02Got to love it.
