Jared Weiss

And, you know, as he put it after the game, this game was a confirmation of who they are.

It wasn't a discovery.

This was a confirmation.

It was a confirmation of their potential because this was I mean, this was it.

you want to get a playoff game.

This was the playoffiest game that they have played so far this season.

Like there's, you know, Houston was one that was like this, but this was the game where like, it was just all about who could control the physicality and who could live above the physicality.

And maybe he was able to handle both.

You're right, because Paul Reed did have a good game.

But Stu, not only is he going to shoot the ball, but he's going to be like an absolute terror down low.

His defense has been amazing this season.

And, you know, the Spurs, their offense has been designed to live in the floater range for the most part.

They don't get to the rack a ton, honestly, in the half court.

It's mostly in transition.

And Victor getting to the rack is actually kind of new, ironically, for a 7'6 guy.

He hasn't been getting to the rim all the way until really the last few weeks.

So, you know, having Beef Stew out there, who's just another guy that's going to try to break one of Bambi's ribs and send him to the ground, another guy that's going to be boxing him out over and over again, is going to make a difference.

So that's why we can't take too much finality out of this game.

Also, Asar Thompson didn't have...

much of a game he only played 18 minutes like he's been huge for them so much this year so Detroit can do a lot more than they did in this game but the same time what Victor did defensively was just like it might not matter what Detroit does defensively they might not be able to score 100 points against this defense you know what I liked about Victor's game Jared and I want you to shed more light on it
