This week in Spurs talk

The shows spent their week breaking down the Thunder's dominant opening night win over the Spurs. Victor Wembanyama had a rough shooting night and the talk centered on whether San Antonio's new guard-heavy lineup with Fox, Castle, and Harper can work around him. There's concern about the Spurs' offensive organization and whether the three guards are willing to sacrifice and make Wembanyama the clear focal point.
