They're just too young. And I'm watching that game last night. And I'm like, the minute it got to the fourth, Frank, I'm like, oh no, you don't want to go, you don't want to play Minnesota in the fourth quarter with Julius Randall. You cover Julius. He's 19 and 9 every night. I don't know. I think San Antonio, I watched last night, I'm like, I think they're in a little bit of trouble. I don't want to overreact what say you.

Yeah, and I saw the graphic and the stats that you were talking about before with how good

Minnesota is in the fourth quarter. Now, they also got away with one last night. Anthony Edwards

bad turnover by him, which led to a layup, which cut it to two. That final possession by Minnesota,

I get it, Julius Randall had just made a tough

shot but anthony edward was being guarded by dylan harper they could have gotten the ball anthony edwards then of course the champagne shot was a good shot by him but you know you also wonder san antonio you have win binyama you get the rebound with six seconds left you have a time out do you want to try to run a play and at least get when bin yama to be part of it i think they're

they're thinking listen gobert's not going to come in the game if we call timeout and we got a good shot. But Minnesota, you know, Chris Finch is a really good coach and he's one of these guys that knows how to coach his superstar. And he's really hard on Anthony Edwards.

And Anthony Edwards, to his credit, accepted as coaching. You guys just played the clip of him before. You know, he's talking about his performance. He doesn't, he's not patting himself on the back saying, I'm a warrior because I played to him. I'm a warrior. He's thinking, man, what a mistake I made with that tournament. That's what I like about Anthony Edwards. And I like the fact that not only that he came off the bench last night is willing to accept that ease his way back in, but how about the fact that he played? And Colin, think about all the guys. And I'm not saying that guys aren't hurt. But Brandon Ingram didn't play an elimination game. Franz Wagner didn't play in a game seven. Kevin Durant didn't play an elimination game.

And this guy would have every right to say, you know what, I'll see you guys back for game three

in Minnesota. He goes out there with a knee injury, not at 100 percent, knows that he's not going

to play a lot of minutes and contributes. Anthony Edwards, for me, he's got a lot of old school NBA

in him. It's pretty refreshing. So we were talking about this. I have a guy that works at the volume,

Jason Timp, and he said, you know, you look at OKC and you look at San Antonio and you just see

the young ascending players. Then you have Minnesota's got older veterans mixed with young players. And then you look at Houston and you're like, well, the net rating, they were better without KD. And next year, Van Vliet comes back. They may go on the market and get a backup point. And the guys like Amanda Thompson and Shepard getting more comfortable having the ball. But they feel like they're kind of in no man's land.

They don't have the experience of Minnesota or the youth of like an OKC or San Antonio.
