Sometimes experience can be your best teacher.

Don't get me wrong.

Sometimes it's never good to take your own lumps, but you learn from them.

But, again, this is a new playbook that we're seeing unfolding in front of our eyes with the Spurs team because, again, we keep harping on it, and they keep proving all of us wrong.

They're just going out there and playing.

It's the old – look, it was the Thunder and the Pacers last year, two young teams.

there wasn't a ton of experience by both of those teams.

And especially the last year's champs, the Thunder, you know, they took their lumps, you know, a couple of years ago versus Dallas, but again,

This is uncharted waters.

And I like that it's like, just go out and play.

And whatever happens, happens.

And they're proving a lot of people wrong.

If I was going to have a dark horse, maybe a wild card for MVP, I would have OG Ananobi.

Because if he's able to play Victor...

and contain him like he could be an andre igudala kind of sneak in and steal the mvp if i was going to look at that from the knicks perspective uh if i was going to look at with san antonio i'd probably go with stefan castle i i think you wouldn't be wrong because both guys defensive minded and both guys are going to have their hands full

OG versus Wimby, that's going to be must-see because are you going to go with size?

Are you going to go with bulk and strength?

And for Stephon Castle, his defense on Jalen Brunson, think about that.

He's had to go against Denny Adhia, first round versus Portland, then Anthony Edwards.

then the two-time MVP in SGA, and now you get Jalen Brunson.
