San Antonio Spurs are on DEATH ROW | In the Building | EP. 578

After sleeping on the Game 2 loss, Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay return for a Saturday matinee edition of In The Building to unpack everything surrounding the Spurs falling into a 0-2 hole against the Knicks. The mood is calmer than the night before, but the reality is still setting in: San Antonio is heading to Madison Square Garden fighting to keep the season alive. The guys debate whether the Spurs’ youth is a valid excuse, especially considering most of the Knicks roster has never played in the Finals either. They discuss Victor Wembanyama admitting the game felt “blurry” late, Steph Castle’s nonstop intensity, Dylan Harper emerging as one of the best players in the series, and the glaring roster issues that Brian Wright will have to address this offseason. Mike and Rudy also talk about Knicks fans invading San Antonio, ridiculous Finals ticket prices, referee controversy, Mitch Johnson’s rotation decisions, Aaron Donald hinting at an NFL comeback with Myles Garrett, and Texas softball winning another national championship. Plus, another hilarious “People I Want to Punch” segment featuring Rick Brunson and De’Aaron Fox.
