Today's show, we will focus on the San Antonio Spurs matchup, and particularly Victor Weimaniama. We'll talk about the overall game a little bit later in the third segment. In the second segment, I want to ask Swipe about what he thinks of the next five years of Yokic versus Webby. But let's start in the now swipe. By the way, to set the table here, Aaron Gordon is questionable for tonight with injury management. I do not expect

him to play. Jamal Murray is probable. I do expect him to play. Victor Weminyama is questionable.

I do not know if he will play. And that's your injury report. Everybody but Aaron looks like

there will go tonight on the back to back on short rest. Let's start here, though, Swipe.

What have you seen from the first couple of matchups of

Victor Wehman Yama versus Nikolaiyokic? What do you think about that matchup in terms of how they face

one another on the floor? Yeah, I mean, Wimby is a very interesting person. And, you know,

obviously, I don't know, this doesn't mean much because who's not high on wimby

but you know when i first started watching wimby i think early on you know there were certain things

that stood out about him and i think the preeminent thing that stood out about wimby is that he

just doesn't have like an off switch and that might be one of the best things you could ever find, you know, for a young player that when they, you know, when you step into a competitive environment, you don't know how everybody's going to respond. You don't know if the competitive juices are going to be there. The physicality, the sports can overwhelm them. Or if they're just not going to have like the it factor, you know, like so much of it is you can be extremely talented.

But you don't know what exactly the player is going to be like in high level situations.

And Nuggets fans, I'll say this and relate this game to you all because that obviously would be something you remember directly.

Matt, that third quarter, 2004, where the Devante Graham game, when he made the game winning back at the basket to send them to the second seed, and then I think it probably cost him a title that year, just because, you know, some injury stuff. Yep. They could have played the Pelicans in the first round that year, by the way. That would have been by far the easiest match that they've ever had in playoffs. Yeah. Um, Victorimaniyama, that third quarter got into a kerfuffle with Aaron Gordon as a rookie.

And Aaron Gordon is Aaron Gordon.
