    Windy was like tf nobody guarding that monstars.. SA.. Chet better climb on his back smh

    I don’t get the Chet take; Chet plays with two 25+ ppg scorers, to think he’ll average the same as Wemby doesn’t make sense.

    Perk and Stephen A need to put some money on this $$$$ … back it up Stephen

    Who really cares who is the 1 Seed yes Having that extra home game helps but I dont think OKC is stressing that NO.1 long as they healthy for Playoffs!!!!!

    WEMBY….taught by Hakeem, Duncan & KG…..who CHET’s been taught by?? I’ll wait….🦗 🦗 🦗😂😂😂😂😂😂

    I want to see how the spurs adjust to playoff levels of contact when fouls dont get called as much. OKC bumps up their physcality and they get away from it. The spurs are showing some grit in both taking hits and giving hits.

    We also dont know how well jokic ramps up in the playoffs, can the spurs do the same given they are at their best when 4 to 5 players score in dou le figures? Can we expect a consistent 15 a game from one of the options 4 through 8?

    As a spurs fan Im anxious to see how they adjust.

    OKC gonna be in big trouble if they drop to #2 in the playoffs its a tough road to go.

    February 27, 2026 at 7:11 pm

    I’m sorry SAS, I’m with Big Perk on this 1. I believe the Spurs got that 2 do!! It’s most definitely WCF for them ( BIG FACTS💯 )!!

  12. @SpursPorVida

    February 27, 2026 at 7:27 pm

    OKC admittedly are good but let’s also admit it, they won last year also because of luck! They faced depleted teams – Grizzlies was missing Clarke then lost Ja in game 3 which allowed 29pt comeback by OKC. Denver’s Murray, Watson and Gordon were injuired during their matchup series, Pacers’ Walker, Jakson and then Hali raptured his achillies in in the pivotal game 7.. do you see the trend? I rather see Denver come out of the West than them, but it’s gonna be the Spurs – team though young got generational player named Wemby – he is breaking expectations and histories. But yeah keep sleepin on the Spurs (this franchise is already used to it)

    February 27, 2026 at 7:31 pm

    Chet is nice, but Chet is still the same weight he was coming into the league, and so he is still getting pushed around out there. I do not see him gaining much muscle until his thirties. Wemby meanwhile is a couple inches taller and 25lbs of muscle bigger than his rookie debut.

    One thing perk having spurs winning this year….The Pistons 😤😤😤

    Steven A acting like 17 and 8 is super special!! Average at best not elite in any way bruh!

  17. @Zay_755

    February 27, 2026 at 8:06 pm

    Chet is my guy but Wemby is miles above him rn

  18. @mauricejohnson1068

    February 27, 2026 at 8:19 pm

    I agree . I originally thought one more year , but I fear they may win now 😂

  19. @ERAragon707

    February 27, 2026 at 8:25 pm

    Perk also swore the Warriors had zero chances of winning another before the 22 championship…jus sayin.😉

  20. @robertkrebs4192

    February 27, 2026 at 8:55 pm

    if SA gets the #1 seed…. Then they would only have to play OKC or Denver (not both) in the conference finals

  21. @buckspearman3013

    February 27, 2026 at 9:08 pm

    Perk said 2 days ago the Detroit Pistons can win the NBA championship THIS YEAR.

  22. @icarusgeo

    February 27, 2026 at 9:28 pm

    Chet is good ofc, but everyone knows now that he’s not on the same league as Wemby.

    February 27, 2026 at 9:36 pm

    I said spurs winning it all this season
