Greetings to Tess. You're listening to a joint session of Locked-on Spurs and Locked-on Warriors, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network.

We're getting ready for some playoff, basketball, Saturday, noon at Oracle Arena in Oakland.

The Spurs will face off against the Warriors in the NBA's first round.

You've got me, Aliko Carter, host of Locked On Warriors, and Jeff Garcia, host of locked on

Spurs here to give you all the details.

Jeff, how you doing?

I'm doing great, and I think it's about time that we get these playoffs on the, well, get

going because every day, every minute that passes during this little break,

it feels like an eternity.

We've got to get some hoops going, and we're talking about the playoffs here.

First round, Spurs, Warriors, meeting up once again in the postseason.

They ended their postseason together, at least the Spurs did, and now they're going to start it up again,

facing a familiar foe.

I'm glad to see these two hook up.

It's just a shame they've never gone at each other full strength.

Yeah, you're absolutely right.

You know, that 2012, 2013 season, the Warriors weren't who they are now, and then Steph got hurt,

and then, of course,

last year with the Zaza coming under Kauai's foot, that definitely derailed that series

Spurs, I'd say. And there's a lot of, you know, Spurs fans out there who really feel like he might

have, that Zaza, that is, might have just, you know, started a downward spiral

for Kauai.
