Jared Weiss

So I'm really interested to see what he has to say about stuff.

But the big thing with him is he's showing more patience and control because, you know, these these guys were just like bad out of hell kind of players.

A lot of the time they kind of hit a low ceiling because they just never can refine it.

They can never evolve out of it.

You know, kind of like the Russell Westbrook syndrome where it's like Russ, as great of a player as he is, his kind of downfall has been that he can't really get out of his own way.

He can only play at one speed most of the time.

And he's still one of the best players ever, even at that speed.

And so Steph, I think, is showing his patience and his deceleration and not just like his like specific moves, but just the way he thinks of his role in the game, I think, is fitting into and meshing into the overwhelming amount of talent that they have on this team.

Spurs or Nick's?

I guess I'm picking the Spurs and it's not even like a it's not even like a bias thing it's just like they just beat the Thunder and Wemby was good but not even great in that game and he's got a few more days to get ready uh and and just like their downhill speed I think will go well against the makeup of that Knicks defense because the Knicks defense is good at taking away passing gaps but like those are three guys that can dribble in circles around so it's not just

I covered the Celtics for a long time, and the Knicks defense was really tough for them because Brown and Tatum, they wanted to hit the gap one, two step and get off of it.

All three of those Spurs guards will be able to dribble all the way through those gaps, I think.

And we'll see.

And then, of course, just like the Cat versus Wemby battle.

I don't know today who has that advantage.

I think eventually Wemby has that advantage.

Cat's been playing phenomenally a lot of these games here.

But like...

I think that pulling cat out of the paint, which when B is going to do and letting those guards just get downhill, that's just going to open up so many kickouts for threes for the Spurs and the Spurs.

If they win that game, it's because they got up like 40 threes and they hit like 15 or 16.
