Okay.

So earlier this season, I already said that I thought Boston was going to make it to the finals.

And I'm still with that.

I think that they are clicking on all cylinders just at the right time.

Got Jason Tatum back into the mix.

We saw what the bench could do in the midst of everyone shutting their players down on Sunday.

And I think Joe's Missoula is, you know, a genius at the helm.

So yes, definitely.

We're on the eastern side of things.

Boston, western side of things.

Andrew Schlecht, looking around my shoulder.

He's not here.

Okay, cool, cool, cool.

I think the Spurs are going to make it to the finals against the Celtics.

And it's for all of the reasons that we've been talking about, but the number one being...

that they have a freaking alien on their roster and the things that he does to make people not want to shoot, make people not want to get off the bench when the coach calls their name to get into the game.

That is what Victor Mabinyama is capable of.

He just completely alters everything you think you want to do out on the floor.

And then thanks to S and his wonderful little video essay that I saw on The Athletic, which by the way, I hope all of you guys have been reading and seeing.

I now know how significantly better when Minyama is when he's got these guards around him, and De'Aaron Fox, and Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper Jr.
