Gilbert Arenas begins to explain why the Spurs won’t get out of the first round due to a lack of a star, but his WiFi freezes. Nick Young follows up with “Yeah, I’m glad he froze. He needed to shut the f**k up”
The delivery from Nick Young has me dying
You stoopid mothafucka lmao I was crying
my man swaggyP spoke for the world lmao
Listen I know Gilbert has his haters for reasons, but you can’t tell me that sports TV has made anything half as entertaining as Nick Young and Gilbert Arenas when they’re on in at least a decade if not 2
Global Ambassador Swaggadocious P.
There was a phase when I used to watch clips on their show on YouTube despite the fact I know nothing about the NBA or any of the people they are talking about. Nick Young was a major reason for that. That guy is just naturally funny.
His original meme face is so fucking good. Equal parts polite smile, confusion, and “this some bullshit”
Bro so good he has two memes
Absolutely, natural charisma with that timing and cadence and tone hahaha.
Sounded like Denzel Washington hahaha
Gil and Nick Young are far from great human beings, but they’re funny as fuck. The clip of Gil breaking into Nick Young’s home and messing with his kid and house is totally unhinged but hilarious: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kALlqzIwaOY
I’m a Spurs fan and I don’t have an issue with someone having some doubts about our team this year. We’re young. We rely on a lot of guys who are still very much figuring things out. Teams like that typically have a “ humbling” first playoff run
But saying that we’re not going to win because we lack star power is some asinine stupidity. Victors quite literally one of the most destructive and impactful players in the league. Even if his first playoff series ends up being a struggle from offense, he’s quite literally a star on defense in a way. No one else has in the NBA right now
He’s not a super duper star on offense which is clearly the only side he’s talking about.
Gilbert Arenas only caring about offense? No, how could this be true?
30p/75 on 62.4%TS without dominating the ball and adding both vertical and 5-out spacing(arguably the most impactful spacing in the sport)
There’s a level above this, but there are guys in his tier we wouldn’t really be saying that about
People just suck at evaluating off-ball impact and can’t see past the low minutes he’s averaging lol
Also…. It’s that mid range game we often talk about when we say offense in the playoffs. Whether as an indicator of being able to make a contested shot or just because the versatility it can provide when defenses hone in on the three and the lane. Victor does shoot midrange and even post shots with footwork off his 7’5” height and 8’ wingspan. I’m sure an inefficient night for him is still approaching 50% in the playoffs. Which him and his team can definitely hold the opponent to similar numbers.
It’s funny how defense is ignored when we compare stars
Also Victor is already a very effective offensive player who’s still growing. But I’m not taking Gilbert analysis seriously anyways.
Gil doesn’t even look at offense beyond raw ppg. Wemby averages only 29 mpg. He’s actually 7th this season in pp36; above players like Ant, Brunson, and Maxey.
Ya. I can buy a first round exit, but not because of what was being said. Any team in the west is going to have to take The Spurs very seriously.
Theyre very likely going to be a top 2 seed means playing a non contender early anyways
Houston (also a young team) ran into us last year.
With respect, that Rockets team fits Gil’s argument, they had a lot of very good players, but lacked a star.
Wemby eclipses Sengun as a star player and the Spurs #2-#4(Fox, Castle, Vassell) options are all better than that Rockets team’s #2 option (honestly wouldn’t even know who to say was their #2 option, FVV? Brooks?Amen?Green?)
Y’all traded for a top player at the deadline had something like the 3rd best record after that. And I don’t wanna be rude but Sengun has taken a huge leap this season and still is a tier or maybe two below Wemby, AND the Spurs have Fox to add to that.
They’re still a young team. If a team with more experience (like the Warriors had) (Lakers or Wolves) fall in that bottom half they could be ousted that quickly.
Every time the Spurs won the championship they didn’t know who their main guy was lol.. because it’s a team game and the best team wins.
This is just blatantly untrue.
In 2014 or maybe even 2007 sure.
But I can assure you 2003 and 2005 EVERYONE knew who our guy was. Honestly even in 1999 Timmy had firmly established himself as the guy.
Duncan was clearly the guy for every title but 2014 when it was a complete team effort.
Even in 07 Duncan led the team in scoring and usage during the playoffs.
99 was Duncan 1, Robinson 2
03 was Duncan 1, Duncan 2 and Duncan 3
05 was Duncan 1, Manu 2(maybe 1a)
07 was Duncan 1, Manu 2, Parker 3
I’m not discounting his contribution to 07, but I really think you’re discounting Parker here. Dude was #2 in 07 and arguably the #1 in 2013 and 2014. His numbers don’t show it so much in the finals because the hamstring injury he picked up vs OKC, but he was the engine of that offense those years.
Duncan would absolutely have won FMVP in 2013 if Ray Allen didn’t hit that shot and while I loved 2014, I wanted that 2013 MVP for Duncan so bad.
I just realized I misread your statement and you were talking about Parker. I still think Duncan was definitely going to be FMVP, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he was their #1 guy. I do think he was still #1 in 2013 because of his defence.
You could say that about our most recent championships. Sure but definitely not in 2003 or 2005. Yeah we had other guys that could score. But those teams were 1000% based around Duncan on offense. Absolutely everything fed off of his gravity, his touches and he was the main guy through and through
Yeah prime Duncan was something else
Duncan. Duncan was their main guy for all but the last one.
Duncan was easily their main guy for at least the first 4. 5th is more arguable but those teams were clearly built around Duncan
they didn’t know who the main guy was but they had 3 HOF players that could handle that spot at any given moment without much worry..then Tim got old and they rolled out young HOF cyborg to do the same..they were a team..but that kind of undersells them
I mean that’s just not true, look at the last 20 years, how many times has a team won without a superstar, you can say they didn’t know who their main guy is, but they literally had Tim Duncan 💀
As well as other hall of famers. Unless you mean no true 1st scoring option, which I guess? But that’s not what we are saying, when we say basketball is an individual sport. The pistons are like the only team to have won a championship without a true high end all nba guy.
The top 10 player of all time was their main guy.
They had a stacked roster, that’s why
I could see it going sort of like the 2023 Thunder, winning that first round matchup but falling to a more experienced team at the semis or conference finals.
Yeah that’s kind of My Hope/ expectation. Unless we get a really really terrible first round matchup like the Timberwolves my expectation is we win a hard thought first round matchup and then lose a second round matchup where we make some mistakes and show our age
Also were 3-1 against OKC and have consistently beat the Nuggets over the last couple of years even without our current depth. Houston is not a serious team and Minnesota revolves around ANT. He can have some really quiet nights in the playoffs.
Just looked it up and Wemby has a 32% usage rate and no one else in the rotation is higher than 25%.
Seems to me like everyone on the team is pretty clear about who the “go to guy” is.
You made the critical error of reacting to a podcast full of dudes who fail to celebrate the game. Engagement farming is all Gilbert Arenas is good for in the NBA media landscape
I think you guys are first or second round exit this year but next year idk man you can tell this spurs team is gonna build off everything they do and they will prob be fully in finals contention next year.
Yeah I think he’s right to look at 2023 Memphis and Sacramento, I’d even throw 2025 Houston into that mix, difference is Wemby is far better right now than anyone on any of those rosters
Teams like that typically have a “ humbling” first playoff run
Correct. It’s a 3 year plan. First, you make the playoffs. Then you go deep. Make some noise. Maybe get to the WCF. Then, you win it all. Good luck!!!
Use of the word star is incorrect, as you said, cause a more accurate explanation would be the need of a vet star. Someone with seasoned play off experience to lead the troops. Basically a Chris Paul. Though his role would be more like a player coach than someone getting minutes.
And you didn’t even talk about your greatest star, Luke Kornet.
Agreed. The only point he made that I agree with is that playoff basketball is on another level. It wouldn’t be a shock to see this young Spurs team show their inexperience.
That said, I dont think any team out there wants to play San Antonio in the tourney.
The expectation this year was to return to the playoffs. That will be met and possibly exceeded.
How do you ignore the league’s literal LARGEST star, Gilbert????
Well Gilbert is a certified hot take idiot
This has to be Gilbert farming the clicks. He just had a whole video talking about Steph Castle taking his game to the next level. Lol
Yeah after our game last night i have no idea how anybody can beat yall in a 7-game series, you literally can’t shoot over Wemby and the rest of the team feeds off of that
You guys literally have Fox, Wemby, and gold medal winner Keldon Johnson. I don’t know what gilbert is smoking.
I always doubt inexperienced new teams in the playoffs but there’s a big difference between doubting them challenging for a title and thinking they’ll get knocked out in round 1. Like come on. I’d feel pretty safe thinking their team (even if they under perform) can beat the current teams at 7-10 right now.
I can’t even say that the knock on the Spurs is that they play a lot of young guards because they still have Fox who really needs to take over in those clutch situations to settle things down. Fortunately for the Spurs, he definitely has the ability. We’ll see if Castle can step up but there’s a reason why a lot of young guards don’t do well in the playoffs. They need the seasoning.
I think what he’s talking about is how in the playoffs because of how the defense is game planed you often end up having possession where you just have to throw the ball to your best guy and have them make something out of nothing. The Spurs don’t have someone you could totally trust to do that right now. Wemby just isn’t there yet offensively. None of the other young guys are yet either. Fox seems like the most likely candidate, but hasn’t ever proven to be at that level and it’s made more complicated by it not being ‘his team’.
That said, I don’t believe they’re comparable to the other teams he mentioned. They’re clearly much better defensively and I would say overall than any of them.
I don’t think the Spurs getting a bad match-up and going out in round 1 is out of the question or anything. Not a ton of playoff experience with that coach and roster which are all valid.
But saying Wemby doesn’t play like a star considering he may have a legit shot at MVP this season (which is insane to say in year 3!) is just moronic.
Yeah I was going to say the same thing “Spurs are not getting out of the 1st round” isn’t a crazy take by itself while still not being a great IMO.
But the reasoning here is just plain dumb.
Yeah like let’s assume for a second it is the Suns just with current standings, that’s a team that could definitely be a dark horse for a first round upset and beat them 2 out of 3 games in the regular season so far.
But that’s just saying that west won’t be easy. Side note: OKC really does have an advantage as the one seed just since I don’t think the west is 8 teams deep, but I think 1-7 can be a real dogfight.
I think Spurs will destroy Suns, but Clippers or Wolves in round 1 would suck
I feel like it’s very similar to last year in that the non-OKC series could shake it in any order. Minnesota or Denver or San Antonio making the conference finals would not surprise me. Minnesota or Denver or San Antonio getting bounced in the first round would not surprise me.
The suns are a fun story and have played us tough. But among the likely teams that we can get in the first round… I would definitely prefer them over a team like the Timberwolves or the clippers. I think in a seven game series, San Antonio would handle them relatively easily
Yea it’s the Western Conference 1-7 are usually legit contenders. His reasoning though is podcast clip bait.
I don’t know if OKC holds onto the 1 seed. SGA, Ajay, and Jdub are out for at least another week or two.
Every once in a while Gil has a really great take then follows it up with 100 truly garbage ones 😂
Exactly. I would be surprised but not shocked if the spurs got upset in the first round, anything can happen in a best of seven. I am jaw dropped shocked that anybody with even a passing knowledge of the NBA can think that Wemby is playing like anything other than a superstar this season.
Pretty clear to me that Gil was just questioning Wemby’s scoring abilities in the playoffs, not questioning whether he is a star at all or whatever
Well yeah, it’s Gilbert fucking Arenas 😂
Wemby is amazing, but legit shot at MVP is kinda a stretch. Unless you mean SGA and Jokic missing the 65 games req then yeah.
Even then, I don’t think wemby’s winning it, nor do I think he should.
Love the spurs. Gilbert is silly. But I don’t think Wemby has a legit shot at mvp. You would need SGA and Jokic to both not qualify. Then you are still behind Cade Cunningham. After that there’s like 3-4 he would be in a toss up with.
In fairness I do see how many are ahead of Wemby in the betting odds for MVP. Maybe if Spurs can get the #1 seed (or a better record than Detroit) that can push Wemby over the hump. Maybe Nuggets doing well enough without Jokic may hurt his chances. But fair point.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/47978210/nba-mvp-straw-poll-update-sga-jokic-wemby-cade-65-game-rule
wembys only chance is if everyone else gets disqualified for injury
Jokic not playing like an MVP will hurt his MVP chances. 😅
I don’t get this. Like before the season no-one thought the Spurs would be even remotely close to where they’re rn, on track to be the 2nd or maybe even 1st seed in a loaded West. Wemby being by far the best defender in the world, and a top offensive option on great volume & efficiency. Lastly, even advanced metrics and on/off impact have him as around top 3 ITL. Like unless raw PRA is the only thing that matters to you, there’s no reason he shouldn’t be at least in contention for MVP. Team success, impact, stats, eye test, he has everything you’d want.
Jokic is more or less out of the race tbh, he won’t qualify if he misses 2 more games. SGA I think wins if he qualifies, but we still don’t know if he’ll be 100% coming back from injury. 10 games with bad numbers and losing the first seed to the Spurs - you suddenly have Wemby in the lead. I would still probably go with Cade if Pistons have more wins though.
It’s bait. Getting you to repost it is why he said it
Wemby MVP? Now thats a cap sir
The Spurs are darkhorse contenders at worst. No one has an answer for the disruption Wemby brings, and he is only going to improve through the playoffs.
When you have a clear all-star who is the DPOY and top 5 MVP candidate alongside a fringe all-star in Fox and a lot of young guard/wing talent, not to mention the vets on the team who have been solid…yeah. If I had money to gamble I would put some on the Spurs tbh.
Why are we listening to Gilbert arenas in 2026 in general. Idiot is likely to end up in jail
Imagine Spurs vs Lakers and Gill think Lakers can win the series damn
I think what he means by that is if you need a bucket Wemby isn’t a guy you can just hand the ball off to the way you can with Jokic or Ant or Durant. That guy on the Spurs is Fox though, and he’s a step down from the 3 above but Fox can still deliver when you need a basket and the offence isn’t flowing.
The better argument would be spurs not making it out of the second round. Talent alone should take spurs out the first round. Playoffs experience is needed to make it out the second.
Wembys offense is a work in progress when the other team has a strong 6’6-7 guy to get into him physically (which the playoffs allow more of). It’s crazy to say that, because his numbers are really good, but I can see a point there.
Having said that, I think there isn’t a single team that is guaranteed to roll against the Spurs, and I think we have a puncher’s chance against any team. Even the Warriors who usually have our number have it at 50-50.
Ngl, who in the west is even a bad matchup for the Spurs this season? I swear they’re the boogeyman of the west that I’ll be the most scared to face in the 1st round.
Rockets can make it farther than the spurs is crazy.. not with amen getting guarded like ben simmons lol and sengun being a cone.
Gilbert’s reasoning is all time dumb, but the Rockets are 6th in net rating while the Spurs are 5th
I’d have them similar tiers
Rockets also have been slipping as of recently their defense has been elite still but the offense not so much you can blame that on ime.
Also one of their starters is mentally challenged if we are to believe (allegedly) another player on the team
Tbh, KD also said a lot of things bout curry and booker which aren’t true so I would take what he said with a grain of salt since he’s so bitter all the time
I mean jabari is averaging 16 points on 48 percent from the field and 40 pervent from 3 thr last 15 games
Being mentally challenged must be pretty good then
I was telling people Houston wouldn’t wanna series in the offseason and nobody believed me
Having kd initiate the offense at times is not a recipe for success they need a point guard.
Sengun is a better defender than people give him credit for. This is why you have to watch games
you are speaking facts, but they downvote…
I think the general thought would be that we know KD can be that guy and the rockets did well in the playoffs last year without him.
I think the why is more of an experience thing rather than talent imo. But like I personally don’t agree with that take lol
Thats true they got KD tho
It’s all matchup based in the west having this Convo now is dumb
Also people are still under the spell that it’s prime KD out there and he can single-handedly carry them, bro’s 37 and very notably was not that guy in Phoenix when he was slightly younger
Gilbert Arenas knows a lot about the playoffs because he always had a lot of free time to watch from home after his team was bounced.
He said we had a zero percent chance of making the finals let alone winning it last year lol 😂 so I would take his opinions with a grain of salt
He’s salty alright. Probably salty because he spent most of the $160m he earned over his career. And now he’s on dialup.
He’s just trying to keep his Agent Zero thing going.
Lmao, was going to say something similar. Agent 0 is a great name for him because that’s really all he’s accomplished. Dude was a stat stuffer on bad teams.
That’s a bit of a stretch. They made the playoffs 3 or 4 times in Washington with him as their best player. And even won a series.
tbf, he took LeBron to 6 games.
That’s what I said bro. Agreed. All this confirmed to me is that spurs will in fact make the second round.
These old heads BITTER
There’s too many podcasts to give these dudes time. I don’t wanna hear about no arenas, unless it’s Alijah.
Why do y’all act like people aren’t allowed to have dissenting opinions on here? Oh so he isn’t as high on the spurs as I am so he must be bitter. Bitter at what?
Sports podcasters are opinionated.
There can be overlap between “opinionated” and “bitter”.
Whether he is actually bitter I have no idea.
This thread is as close as I’ve ever gotten to listening to his podcast.
Gil is slightly bitter, mostly dumb.
watch his early content…. he changed to hot takes because fans are dumb and ppl like content they can relate to…
trust me he knows more about the nba then you 100x over…
ZERO problem with saying Spurs can go out in round 1. His reasoning for it with Wemby not being a star is just dumb, period. Hence why he was told to shut the fuck up
I thought you hated San Antonio lil bro
Swaggy P will be young forever.
Gil has always been
How does Gilbert know what playoffs are like?
As a guy who never made it out of the second round, he had ample time to study the game in the post-season.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzkPdwgq8EQ
Surely has a lot of playoffs experience against the greatest player who’s ever lived, even dropping 50 on him
That’s cool like I said 25 playoff games more than I played so congrats to Gil and at least one gold doodle star for you
Honestly i dont believe Arenas actually believes that. That shit is rage bait like 90% of the content on the internet now days. Thats what happens when attention becomes currency, all you have to do to get it is to be the dumbest motherfucker in the room.
I disagree with his reasoning but I agree in the sense that they are not real contenders due to their lack of playoff experience. Reminds me of the 2023 Thunder and last years rocket team where they’re young and overachieved but lack of playoff experience comes to bite them. I think they’ll get to the second round at best.
Lack of a star, wtf? I mean he can think they are going to suck but to say it’s because they lack a star, they have one of the biggest ones.
Literally the biggest one.
Nick Young put it best.
I’m all for calling out old heads for dumb takes, but it’s not crazy to say that young teams that first make it to the playoffs have historically lost and lost early.
I don’t have the Spurs flaming out in Round 1 (I like their chances to see OKC in the CF), but it’s not that wild a take.
that’s not the reason he’s saying they won’t make it tho. he’s saying it’s cause of a lack of starpower which ain’t true
Exactly. The more valid and apparent reason would be a lack of playoff experience. His claims they don’t have stars or know who to play is absolutely laughable lol.
Who spends actual time watching this man speak? And why?
Lebron fans.
We’re young and inconsistent, I will be disappointed if we lose first round but not I don’t think we should be overwhelming favourites
we hoopin this year, you’ll see
Gil’s got those Pennywise eyes.
I understand his point, but we’ll see.
Assuming the standings stay like this, the spurs are playing the Suns, Warriors, Clippers or Blazers
Clippers can be tricky if the DG thing works, otherwise it’s free
Spurs have yet to play Clippers this season so very curious to how that matchup plays out. Glad Clippers dumped Zubac
Warriors are free ? Nah, Curry likes to drop 50 bombs on us every time we play him.
Yeah playing curry in the post season is always a tough task if he is healthy bro can explode for 40 on any given night
Lol Nick is always hilarious.
same shit he said about the pacers the past two seasons
problem is this guy doesn’t know shit about winning in the playoffs
Agent Zero Knowledge
Same
I don’t know more about basketball from a technical level than actual NBA players, but I swear 98% of them somehow just have genuinely bad insight on the game. It’s so fascinating.
Without having seen him in a playoff series to truly know, I think Wemby is at worst the 4th best player in the league. He’s already a star. He’s the most destructive defender I’ve seen, and is a good offensive player who’s still getting better every month. The Spurs might have the core to win a championship but they are probably too young and inexperienced…but it’s not due to a lack of a star.
Imo out of all the realistic 1st round matchups they only lose to the Timberwolves. If they face the Lakers/Suns/Warriors or Clippers they should be the heavy favorites
Agreed, wolves and edwards would be a mofo
If butler was healthy I would have given the warriors a low chance as well as curry always balls out vs the spurs for some reason lol 😂
lmfao
The simple fact that Chet has a ring before Wemby is motivation enough for Wemby to get as many rings as possible. To me, he’s the type of personality to say “why even talk about just one ring?”
See Swaggy only paid for and maintained the front porcelains
Gilbert Arenas should focus on snitching.
He’s far better at that than he is at analysing the NBA.
I’m sorry I can never hate Gilbert. That dude is so funny and he has such a great rapport with Nick Young.
Those teams he mentioned all had injuries to their stars so Nick was right, Gil needs to “Shut the !@#$ up!
How the fuck is Arenas rage baiting with Nick Young on some podcast count as content these days much less the #1 on the sub right now?
If he hadn’t said “shut the fuck up” we wouldn’t be here but alas
What a terrible cast of “experts”
The Spurs are the 3rd best team in the league right now. And they’ve consistently beaten OKC. I think the Spurs are one of the favorites to win the championship this year
wemby sure looks the spurs offensive scheme’s go-to guy when most teams are collapsing their defenses on him and giving space to their shooters, not to mention hacking him alive and praying for a no-call since is their best option once he gets in the paint.
This seems like the same rhetoric that the Spurs always receive. Timmy has 5 rings and almost every one of those years the media said Spurs wouldn’t make it because they don’t have a superstar (Kobe, Shaq, James).
I guess Gil must’ve forgot that Memphis did make it past the first round 2022 as the second seed against Minnesota and lost to GS in the second round. And even with Sacramento while they were good they didn’t have a Wemby on their squad. While the West is pretty open, I feel unless the Spurs somehow fall past the 4th seed and lose home court I can’t imagine them not making it past the first round
Didn’t the Indiana Pacers get to the finals last year with no “stars”?
Given that the Spurs have beaten OKC multiple times this season, I’m guessing they have a good chance of making the 2nd round, at least. If things click for them, they could make a lot of noise in the Playoffs.
Spurs vs. Pistons in the Finals would be very fun to be honest. Pistons making the Finals after the season they had last year would be an all-time story by itself, but adding the Spurs as well, with a European superstar leading the team after the franchise hasn’t seen post-season success in nearly a decade and missing the Playoffs entirely for the past 6 years.
It would also be a Finals re-match, 2 decades later. Sign me up.
Very excited for the upcoming Spurs/Pistons matchup. Going to be in SA for some games and Spurs/Pistons is one of them.
Funny how he mentioned Memphis? Memphis did get out of first round and was the toughest opponent Warriors faced in the western conference when they won.
This guarantee’s the spurs get out of the first round now.
Thanks Gilbert. Former never been to the finals nba all star player.
Wemby is the most disrespected 24+ ppg on 50%+ shooting player today lol, how many of these takes do we have to hear
Thank you. Obviously, there are better offensive players out there. But Wemby is more than good enough to get you past round 1.
I wouldn’t take anything he says seriously he said we had a zero percent chance of winning the chip and that the lakers would win lol 😂 he backed down when iHart called him out in the offseason lmao 🤣
I’m sorry the Rockets don’t move the needle for me man. I’m just not seeing what everyone else sees in them
He probably meant experience
This is just Gil saying he was never a superstar or ‘that guy’ either with his first appearance making it out of the first in 2005 and then being perpetually bounced in the first round.
Funny clip
Ah yes, the voice of reason Gilbert Arenas
You know you should rethink your stance when Nick Young thinks you are stupid.
I’ll never understand people that willingly sit down and listen to Gilbert Arenas
Gil is like the rush Limbaugh of NBA podcast. He just says outrageous shit to get noticed
Why does anyone bother with this guy lmao. He’s just one bad take after another
Arenas commenting on anything in the context of winning or how to win is extremely comical
Nick young win
Chubby P
The two high seeds he listed — Sacramento and Memphis — both ran into the Warriors in the first round. It’s not accurate at all to say that those teams lacked stars, just like it’s not accurate to say the Spurs do now.
If he wanted to say they lack a veteran star presence with a lot of playoff experience, then say that. It’s a decent point, especially if they run into a veteran low seed team like the Clippers this year. But it’s also unlikely. 2 seeds rarely lose in the first round.
They have a star But they wont get past the first round
Next year theyll be a serious threat 1 year too soon
wemby offense is good and consistent and his defense is great; how do they lack star power?
Isn’t Wemby dropping like 25 ppg with 9000 rebounds per game?
Arenas is like draymond without the flagrants
They can go all the way or be knocked out. NBA playoffs are so matchup dependent. Id like to think they need to get their feet wet as a team in the playoffs but that doesn’t mean they would be run over or anything. Getting used to the physicality of the playoffs can be hard for some teams though
Arenas is the foremost expert of not getting out of the first round (or to the playoffs) so he might have some insight here.
We’re making the dumbest people authorities on things.
Arenas with ragebait basketball analysis, into the trash it goes.
Gil either has a brilliant analysis of the most dumbasa take you ever heard. No in between
The real question here is how good do the Spurs look against the Clippers, Wolves, or Suns in a first round series?
It is an interesting question, those teams are all better than their records suggest, but Gil makes it sound stupid coming out of his mouth.
I rememebr in 05 Scotty pippen was an analyst and chose the super Sonic’s in 5 over spurs because he said spurs “didn’t have a go to guy” Scotty said he didn’t think Spurs had what it takes.
Funny, but he’s probably right. Young teams generally get beat in their first playoff appearance
cant say they will win it all but they should get out of the first round
by “lack of a star” he means they dont have lebron or some other old guy that used to be good
This is so stupid. Spurs will be just fine
