" A prayer out of not a."

" Prior and -- the -- it whether it's an odd year they want to -- caveat years except for to a one though so you gotta believe but but but but Tony Parker. Has got the play completely out of his mind he's had a great year and people because of the play of the point guards. In in the league is your kind of over the Tony Parker but 22 point game does a great job in the paint."

" He's got that carried the load on this team and then another guy when I've read his name down but it FINDLEY."

" Michael Finley because ahead in his name in -- for so long had heard about for so long been knocked out some crucial three pointers. He's got to come out strong Roger Mason drew Drew Gooden off the -- that have to give them something and Tim Duncan can play his his normal dean's -- terrific deep pits and give them and and that. Off -- of scoring. San Antonio's get it Matt trying to avoid -- straight first round exit in the playoffs they've been playing well lately they matchup Wheldon and until they do they do they're they're playing great basketball and the reason and that's that well you know Dirk Nowitzki Dirk is going to be -- going to get his points and and -- look at the matchup problems because of -- shooting ability at seven feet.

" But right now that a dangerous team Jason tears that the gasket at Tim Duncan never lost the first round series which played a perfect -- I know could be the year the Spurs go down -- well want."

" All good things must come to an end and at a much was bad and I -- Spurs are so many tax reporting proven me wrong. But I just don't it happened happening this year mainly because -- nobody means so much of the basketball team and and and that -- much of that that total points to put on a book because the winning scores -- fourth quarter guy who could knock down shots gets a basket into the Atlantic crunch time without that their big trouble."
