00:00But what about San Antonio, right?
00:02And maybe this is the classic, you know, you learn more from a loss
00:06and the Thunder just lost a game by 27.
00:10So for the Spurs, it's, hey, more of the same, more of the same, more of the same.
00:14But is there anything, JY, you know, game plan-wise, advantage-wise,
00:19something they should look to exploit, continue to exploit here for San Antonio to you?
00:25Yeah, listen, when you win that game and you look at that run,
00:34the craziest part about the run is Wemby gave you, like, two points in the third quarter.
00:40It was, I think, two points.
00:42It was everybody else.
00:44So to me, that is the key thing is that, you know, while Wemby had 28 points,
00:52he kind of carried you in spots early on, and then when it got going,
00:58he had to have other people step up.
01:02But let's be honest with you, just kind of, you know, looking at his point distribution,
01:08he only has one game with over 28 points.
01:12So are we going to get the game?
01:16And it's going to be very interesting because if you, if we talk about what we just said, right,
01:24which is, all right, we're going to switch up our matchups here,
01:28we're going to maybe go Jalen Williams, or in your case, which I do agree with,
01:31as well as another option is put Chet at the five, right?
01:35Do you turn around with them not being as physical?
01:38Do you now roll Wemby into the post and then run cutters and action off them,
01:45which you know, if you're seven foot five, all you got to do, Kevin,
01:50if you're not physical is get them near the block, catch a reverse pivot shot.
01:53Now you're going to have to start setting double teams.
01:56So what I look for is the coaching matchup within the coaching matchup.
02:01So if you see differences in how they're going to play in regards to playing Williams
02:05or putting Chet at the five, I think the one thing you should look at
02:09is maybe the assist for Wemby.
02:11Because if you put them in the low block, which I would,
02:14I'm setting an immediate double team every time I'm diving someone
02:19and I'm spacing the floor.
02:21Watch out for Wemby, how he attacks double teams
02:24if they switch up and take Hartenstein off of them.
02:28So I think for Wemby specifically, I am fascinated to see
02:35if he falls in love with three-point shot is a little strong,
02:39but how much he goes to it.
02:44Because game one, a lot of the praise for Vic was the interior dominance.
02:52And game five, a lot of the criticism was he looked gas.
03:00And it is exhausting to, you know, have to go inside the paint
03:07to get all of your points.
03:09Also, if you're really tired, your three-point shot's not going to be as effective,
03:13which led to a 4 of 15, 0 of 5 from 3 performance
03:15from Victor Webinyama in game number five.
03:18He had it going early.
03:20He was just perfect from 3 to start the game.
03:23He ended up 4 for 9, though.
03:26So what do we see volume-wise from Vic?
03:30Does he like the three-point shot early to establish that threat?
03:35Does he need it to get him going for the energy of it all?
03:39I think that that's very, very interesting.
03:41The other interesting thing is De'Aaron Fox versus Dylan Harper.
03:48So, you know, there was a moment where I certainly thought
03:51Dylan Harper was going to be lost for this series.
03:53He proceeded to not miss a game.
03:56And Dylan Harper looked like he was on his way to not just like a –
04:02I think he had a breakout postseason.
04:04It looked like Dylan Harper was going to reactivate some, like,
04:09him versus Cooper flag conversations.
04:12Like, Dylan Harper was blowing people's minds.
04:17But the games following the injury, 6 points, 7 points, 5 points, right?
04:23So he had scored 18.
04:25Remember, he opened the series with 24.
04:28Well, he goes and gets 18 in game number six.
04:31On 6 of 9 shooting, got to the line a couple of times.
04:34He was great.
04:35De'Aaron Fox, incredibly, and unfortunately, is actually, I think, J.Y.,
04:41the less healthy of the two, least healthier player of the two.
04:48And Fox now in his last two games, 5 for 24 from the field,
04:559 points, 5 points in the two games.
04:58I'm very curious if this is a close game, how Mitch Johnson chooses his guards.
05:07Now, if Stephon Castle gets in foul trouble, which, boy, does he know how to do
05:12for a point guard, it's – he had three straight games of five fouls prior to last.
05:17But does Fox end up a 25-minute man and Harper a 25-minute man?
05:26Does Fox's experience get him an extra eight minutes, Harper's, you know, growth?
05:34I think that's another really interesting element here.
