This week in Spurs talk

The shows spent the week hyping the Spurs as a top contender heading into the season, with hosts ranking them number one and pointing to Victor Wembanyama's growth and work with Hakeem Olajuwon as reasons to believe they'll respond after a Finals loss. There's been some debate about whether the Spurs can actually sustain dominance given injuries and trades, and they also caught Wembanyama going up against Jokic in some international friendlies.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

3 clips · 21 min. Some clips only play in the app.

In this week's clips: Victor Wembanyama, Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, De'Aaron Fox, Tobias Harris, Maliq Brown, Jayden Quaintance, Harrison Barnes.
