Welcome to the mismatch. I'm Chris Varnan and joining me to see us every week from the Ringer.com.

It's Dave Jacoby. Jacoby.

What's happening to burn out? We are Snowden here in New York City, but that meant that I had nothing else to focus on besides the pistons and spurs last night.

What a game we got.

Oh, I figured you were signing up to go shovel for 30 bucks an hour. No chance. No, that's not. You're not doing that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. Now we have mountains of trash covered by mountains of snow. Before we get into all of the NBA news, I do have to ask you about this, because you are in the eye of the storm. How bad is it? Like, can you? Not that bad. No, it's not. Yeah. No. I mean, it was, you know, it snowed a lot. But this morning, I drove across town and took the train and got wherever I needed to get to. But the kids, like they, one of my kids doesn't have school today. There's absolutely no reason to not have school today. No reason whatsoever. It's so frustrated. I don't even want to

get into them. I don't know. I don't even want to get into it. I'm already getting pissed off. Home from school. And of course, he's on cloud nine, right? Yeah, she, she's kind of sick of sitting around the house all day. It's been like three days. I'm so, my family is so fed up with each other at this point. Hold on. We need to get some time apart. 20 second time out. The reason I assumed it was the boy is because the girls are twins, but you have, I guess you have this rare instance where the twins go to different schools. They go to different schools. It would take me like a half an hour to explain why. Yeah, they go to different schools, which is nice for twins because they're not known as the twins. They have their own identities and lives. Which is unbelievable, though. Is the one twin messing with the other twin that she has school and that she doesn't? Absolutely. It's been a, there's a lot of reason for conflict and tension around my home, but that's just another one that they go to school.

Speaking of conflict and tension, the two hottest teams in the NBA met as we record this on Tuesday morning, Spurs Pistons last night, Kate Cunningham, shoving Victor Wimbaniama to the floor, getting into it with

Stefan Castle.

I mean, this was like, this was like a high intensity regular season basketball game

between two of the teams that have certainly performed the best over the course of the last,

oh, really all season and certainly over the course

of the past couple of weeks. And the Spurs extend their win streak to nine. I read this morning,

it's the longest win streak. They have not had a nine game win streak since March of 2019.

So it has been seven years since the Spurs have had a nine-game win streak, but they

accomplished that by beating the Pistons last night. You were locked in. Give me the takeaways.

It was interesting to start because the Spurs just jumped out and created a big lead.

The Pistons bounced back. But one thing that was definitely noticeable was the Pistons game plan was to be physical.

And it was the very first possession.

It was a pick and roll.

And Cade just sort of checks Wimby as he sort of tries to roll.

And then there was a couple possessions later where Cade just sort of like took a foul basically.

He just kind of like cross-checked him.
