Kirk Goldsberry

Now they're the seventh seed.

Um, and he has something to build around.

Do you have Denny and defense?

So surround get, we need a little more shooting.

We need a little more offensive versatility.

Uh, but yeah, I, I, I love Tiago splitter.

Maybe I'm biased.

Um,

I don't know how the Blazers score 100 points.

I have for the biggest X factor here, the officials on Denny's drives.

And one of the biggest things we always say this time of year is what are the rules in NBA basketball?

What is the content?

It's highest allowance.

What's going to be a shooting foul in May compared to March?

And Denny is a master at the dark arts of getting that whistle going.

There's a world where he gives the Spurs headaches because he gets Wemby in foul trouble driving to the rim and colliding with him.

Or there's a world where the refs are just like, we're not doing that this time of year.

So I think that's a big X factor.

If the Spurs can protect the paint, which they can, I just don't see the perimeter offense of Portland being dynamic enough, Zach, to get to 110, 115 points and beat the Spurs.

I had that.
