But Spurs on a completely other level, probably than any other team like the Thunder have played well, but the Spurs just seem like the team of destiny at this point as we're recording this.

Already on another win streak, 10 in a row.

The competition hasn't been great, and obviously it's March now into April basketball.

And so there are some caveats there, but man, I just can't remember a team that's picked up this sort of head of steam going into the playoffs because the Pacers are probably the obvious comp.

But as we talked about at length last year, there's a lot of holes to poke in there.

I don't think people perked up until they won not only one, but probably even two series in last season's postseason games.

Uh, this time it almost feels like we know what's coming.

Like the trailers have been out there and I'm getting to the point where it's like, how long can we ignore the fact that like this team seems to be special just right now?

I don't know how you're thinking overall in terms of, uh, just like the big picture title race, but like, are you can like, should we be talking about the Spurs being perhaps the favorite, not just like the spoiler?

Right.

And I guess the counter that like a true blue contender who's proven it would probably say is like, oh, let's see him stretch out into 10 additional minutes and then play in these rigorous playoff games like what, two days apart or whatever it is.

Like, could it actually flip the other way and that he's not like built...

right now in terms of his conditioning in order to be optimized in the playoff setting we'll see but you're right it could just as easily be he warps the court yeah now for 10 more minutes a game and what will that say about both sides of the ball and like could the Spurs actually hit another level could they be like one of these March Madness teams that just like catches fire and all of a sudden they're built for this specific type of basketball and all of a sudden the Spurs are even better yeah

It's the shack factor is what you're talking about.

It's like, do teams now, even in this upcoming draft, need to overdraft bigs because they just need some guys on their roster?

Could Wemby basically be a job creator for the large and unemployable right now?

Well, we need some.

All right.

Why don't we take a quick break and we come back.

Let's talk about some of these bad teams.
