Right.

Big, big breaks in between games.

I mean, that was unexpected.

And their target all along was Oklahoma City.

We know this from the way that they win at Oklahoma City all season long.

How, how else are they going to, they can't learn it.

That this is the reason why, you know, it's a very, very unique thing that we experienced this year where we kept saying, is this the moment where we see the Spurs inexperienced catch up to them?

It,

It wasn't until they made it to the finals and went against the Knicks.

I don't think there's any other team in the entire NBA, except for maybe a fully healthy Oklahoma City.

If Oklahoma City hadn't undergone the injuries they experienced with Mitchell and J-Dub, exactly right, then where would that have ended up?

Um, what can the Spurs do?

Because I think this is the version of the Spurs that we're going to see for the next couple of years.

There aren't like, they just need to become the guy we think he is and build that far away.
