    ROCKETS vs SPURS: Instant Reaction & Post-Game Show | In the Building

    DUNK THE DAMN BALL, WEMBY! The San Antonio Spurs are 0-2, and Mike Taylor is already running out of patience! Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay are LIVE with their instant reaction to the Houston Rockets defeating the San Antonio Spurs 114-110 at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. The Spurs nearly stole a game Houston controlled for much of the night, but Victor Wembanyama's late shot was blocked by Amen Thompson, leaving Mike and Rudy screaming the same thing: WHY DIDN'T HE DUNK IT?! And that was just the beginning. The guys break down Wembanyama's offensive struggles, Alperen Sengun's dominance in the paint, Dylan Harper's impressive fourth quarter, and Mitch Johnson's questionable rotations. Is the Spurs' three-guard starting lineup already hurting the team? Does San Antonio need another big man? Should De'Aaron Fox come off the bench? And why isn't Terrace Reed getting an opportunity? Mike is officially concerned. Rudy says everybody needs to calm down. Welcome to another Spurs postgame show on In the Building, presented by Game Day Men's Health Alamo Ranch! TOPICS COVERED: ROCKETS 114, SPURS 110: San Antonio falls to 0-2 after another frustrating loss VICTOR WEMBANYAMA: Why Mike and Rudy wanted Wemby to dunk the ball on the final possession AMEN THOMPSON: The defensive play that stopped Wembanyama with the game on the line ALPEREN SENGUN: Houston's big man dominates inside and gives the Spurs a lesson in post offense DYLAN HARPER: Why Mike believes Harper needs more touches in winning time MITCH JOHNSON: The three-guard starting lineup and its impact on the entire Spurs rotation DE'AARON FOX: Strong isolation scoring, questionable turnovers, and the sixth-man debate STEPHON CASTLE: Developing a reliable midrange jumper as defenses adjust DEVIN VASSELL: How the starting lineup is forcing him into difficult defensive assignments KELDON JOHNSON: His changing role and the disappearance of last season's bench chemistry TERRACE REED: Why the guys want the rookie to get minutes immediately CARTER BRYANT: Questions about his confidence and limited opportunities LUKE KORNET: Why San Antonio needs more physical help in the paint TOBIAS HARRIS: How his return could further complicate the rotation FRED VANVLEET: The veteran floor general helping Houston look like a Western Conference contender KEVIN DURANT & HOUSTON: Why the Rockets look like a legitimate threat in the West SPURS EXPECTATIONS: The difference between being an underdog and being a team everybody wants to beat SPURS vs. MAVERICKS: The pressure to get the first win of the season KEY MOMENTS: 1. WEMBY, DUNK THE BALL! The biggest moment of the night comes when Victor Wembanyama attempts to finish near the rim against Amen Thompson. Instead of throwing it down, Wemby goes for a softer finish and gets blocked. Mike and Rudy lose their minds. Mike believes a player of Wembanyama's size has to attack the rim aggressively in that situation. Rudy acknowledges Thompson's outstanding defense but agrees that Wemby needed to finish stronger. 2. ALPEREN SENGUN OUTPLAYS WEMBANYAMA Mike doesn't hold back when comparing the two big men. Sengun's physicality, footwork, and ability to create offense in the paint are exactly what Mike believes the Spurs are missing. Rudy points out how Houston can turn to Sengun when the offense gets uncomfortable, allowing the Rockets to settle down and find a quality possession. Meanwhile, Wembanyama is still trying to establish a dependable post game. 3. DYLAN HARPER NEEDS THE BALL Dylan Harper provides some of San Antonio's best offensive moments, especially in the fourth quarter. Mike argues Harper should be getting closer to 20 shots a game, or at least more opportunities when the game is on the line. Rudy believes Harper has the potential to become a top-20 to top-25 player in the NBA. Both agree the young guard has a special future. 4. MITCH JOHNSON'S THREE-GUARD EXPERIMENT The biggest ongoing argument of the night centers on Mitch Johnson's starting lineup. Mike believes starting Fox, Harper, and Castle together is creating problems throughout the roster. The guys discuss the lack of offensive rhythm, inconsistent rotations, Vassell's defensive responsibilities, and how moving players into unfamiliar roles has disrupted the bench. Mike even floats the idea of making Fox the Spurs' version of Manu Ginobili off the bench. Rudy isn't ready to abandon the experiment after two games, but he agrees the rotation has no real flow. 5. WHERE IS TERRACE REED? Mike and Rudy want to know why Terrace Reed isn't getting an opportunity. With Houston's physical frontcourt causing problems, they question why Johnson won't give Reed a few possessions to help Luke Kornet. The conversation also turns to Carter Bryant's limited minutes and whether the coaching staff is doing enough to develop its younger players. 6. RUDY SAYS DON'T PANIC. MIKE IS ALREADY PANICKING. Rudy reminds everyone that the Spurs opened against Oklahoma City and Houston, two teams he considers legitimate Western Conference contenders. He believes the Spurs will figure things out over a long NBA season. Mike isn't ready to wait around while the team experiments with rotations. He wants adjustments now, before an 0-2 start becomes something much worse. 7. THE PRESSURE OF BEING THE HUNTED The guys discuss how expectations change a young basketball team. Last season, the Spurs could play freely. Now they're dealing with championship expectations, MVP conversations, and opponents treating every matchup like a statement game. Rudy believes that pressure may be affecting everyone, from Wembanyama to the coaching staff. FINAL THOUGHTS: The Spurs showed more fight against Houston than they did against Oklahoma City, but the offense still has major questions. Mike wants Mitch Johnson to simplify the rotation, establish a clear offensive identity, and put the ball in Dylan Harper's hands when it matters. Rudy believes the talent is there and the team will improve, but even he admits the coaching decisions are concerning. San Antonio is 0-2, the Western Conference isn't getting any easier, and the Spurs need to figure things out quickly. Is Mike overreacting, or is the three-guard experiment already a problem? Should Wembanyama be more aggressive in the paint? Does Dylan Harper deserve to become the Spurs' primary late-game scorer? DROP YOUR TAKE IN THE COMMENTS!

    Dr. Gianis reacts to Hurts BLOOD CLOT Report | In the Building | EP. 665

    DID THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES PUT JALEN HURTS AT RISK? Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay welcome vascular surgeon Dr. Thomas Giannis from San Antonio's Medical Vein Clinic for a serious conversation about the reports surrounding Jalen Hurts' blood clots and the Philadelphia Eagles' handling of the situation. Dr. G explains the difference between superficial and deep vein blood clots, the danger of pulmonary embolisms, the risks associated with long flights, and why playing tackle football while taking blood thinners can be extremely dangerous. He also addresses the unusual reports about Hurts being told not to sleep, explains warning signs everyday people should recognize, and discusses why the NFL Players Association is calling for an investigation. IMPORTANT: Dr. Giannis is discussing publicly reported information, not Hurts' private medical records. His comments are medical analysis, not a confirmed finding of wrongdoing by the Eagles. AND THE SPURS TALK IS STILL HEATED! After Oklahoma City handed San Antonio a 116-104 opening-night loss, Mike and Rudy are still questioning Victor Wembanyama's offensive approach and Mitch Johnson's decision to start De'Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, and Stephon Castle together. Is Wemby spending too much time on the perimeter? Is Julian Champagnie being wasted off the bench? And how long should Mitch Johnson give this lineup before making changes? PLUS, Whatcha Watching Wednesday returns with serial killers, reality television, books, and another round of completely unpredictable conversation. TOPICS COVERED: JALEN HURTS BLOOD CLOT REPORT: Dr. Thomas Giannis examines the publicly reported medical timeline EAGLES UNDER SCRUTINY: The NFLPA's reported demand for an investigation into Hurts' treatment BLOOD CLOT WARNING SIGNS: Calf pain, swelling, shortness of breath, and chest pain SUPERFICIAL vs. DEEP VEIN CLOTS: Why the distinction matters BLOOD THINNERS & FOOTBALL: The risks of contact sports while receiving anticoagulant treatment LONG FLIGHTS & BLOOD CLOTS: Why movement and hydration matter SPURS vs. THUNDER FALLOUT: Mike and Rudy revisit San Antonio's 116-104 defeat WEMBY'S OFFENSIVE STRUGGLES: Shot selection, post moves, and the need for easier baskets MITCH JOHNSON'S ROTATION: The three-guard lineup and its impact on the entire roster DE'AARON FOX & DYLAN HARPER: Who should lead the starting unit and the bench? JULIAN CHAMPAGNIE & CARTER BRYANT: Are the Spurs getting enough from their supporting cast? SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER & OKC: Why the Thunder look so dangerous PEOPLE I WANT TO PUNCH: Rudy calls out the Eagles while Mike puts Wembanyama on notice WHATCHA WATCHING WEDNESDAY: Lizzie Borden, Special Forces, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and The Boys in the Boat NFL SURVIVOR POOL: The $50 competition returns KEY MOMENTS: Dr. Giannis explains how blood clots can travel to the lungs and why the reported progression of Hurts' condition raises serious medical questions. The doctor discusses why playing football while on blood thinners would be dangerous, while acknowledging he does not know Hurts' exact treatment or medical history. Mike and Rudy question the Spurs' new starting lineup and whether Mitch Johnson needs to rethink the roles of Fox, Harper, Castle, and Champagnie. The guys debate whether Wembanyama's offensive game has developed enough for San Antonio to compete with Oklahoma City. Rudy gives the Philadelphia Eagles his People I Want to Punch selection, while Mike chooses Wembanyama after his opening-night performance. Whatcha Watching Wednesday goes from true-crime television to Special Forces, with Mike calling out former NFL running back LeSean McCoy for quitting the reality competition. WHATCHA WATCHING WEDNESDAY Rudy discusses the Lizzie Borden series and his latest Dungeon Crawler Carl book. Mike talks about Special Forces, Matt Barnes, LeSean McCoy, and reading The Boys in the Boat. The guys also discuss upcoming documentaries, streaming shows, and the never-ending struggle to find something worth watching.

    THUNDER vs SPURS: Instant Reaction & Post-Game Show | In the Building

    SPURS FANS, THAT WAS UGLY! The Oklahoma City Thunder came into San Antonio and beat the Spurs 116-104 on opening night, and Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay are NOT holding back! Victor Wembanyama had a nightmare shooting performance, the new three-guard starting lineup looked completely out of sync, and Mitch Johnson has some serious questions to answer. The guys break down everything that went wrong, from Wemby's refusal to establish himself in the post to the Spurs' lack of reliable outside shooting and a second unit struggling to find its identity. Meanwhile, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder looked every bit like a championship contender. OKC's size, depth, shooting, and ability to control the game left Mike and Rudy wondering just how far the Spurs have to go. It's only ONE game out of 82, but that doesn't mean the guys are giving San Antonio a free pass! TONIGHT'S TOPICS: THUNDER BEAT SPURS 116-104: Opening-night disaster in San Antonio WEMBY'S SHOOTING NIGHTMARE: Victor Wembanyama goes 1-for-13 from the field and 0-for-4 from three WHERE'S THE POST GAME? Mike and Rudy question why Wemby continues to settle for perimeter shots MITCH JOHNSON UNDER FIRE: Is the Spurs' three-guard starting lineup already a mistake? FOX, HARPER & CASTLE: Can De'Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, and Stephon Castle coexist in the starting five? DYLAN HARPER'S ROLE: Should Harper eventually become San Antonio's primary offensive option? SPURS BENCH PROBLEMS: Keldon Johnson, Carter Bryant, Julian Champagnie, and the second-unit rotation SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER: The Thunder superstar takes over and keeps San Antonio from completing a comeback OKC'S BIG-MAN DEPTH: Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein, and the Thunder's new frontcourt weapon FOX vs. CHET: The physical confrontation that became one of the night's biggest talking points SPURS NEED SHOOTERS: Does San Antonio need to make a trade before the deadline? CHAMPIONSHIP EXPECTATIONS: Why Mike and Rudy believe games against Oklahoma City matter more than an ordinary regular-season matchup DYLAN HARPER'S ANKLE: The guys express concern after Harper appeared to tweak his ankle late in the game KEY MOMENTS: Wembanyama finishes with 13 rebounds, six blocks, and 10 made free throws, but his 1-for-13 shooting performance leaves the guys questioning his offensive development. Rudy compares Wemby's current approach to Kevin Garnett rather than Tim Duncan, arguing that the Spurs need their franchise player to become a more reliable offensive leader. Mike calls the three-guard starting lineup a failure on opening night and questions how the changes affect Champagnie, the bench, and the team's overall balance. The guys debate whether Dylan Harper could eventually become the Spurs' best offensive player and whether that would actually help Wembanyama. Oklahoma City's depth and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's scoring leave Mike and Rudy convinced the Thunder are the team to beat. The live chat pushes back against the criticism, reminding everyone that it's only one game. Mike and Rudy agree, but insist the problems deserve attention NOW. WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE SPURS? The guys aren't writing off the season after one loss. They're watching how Mitch Johnson handles the rotation, whether Wembanyama changes his offensive approach, and how quickly the Spurs can establish an identity. The next In the Building Spurs postgame show is planned for Saturday following the matchup with the Dallas Mavericks.

The Dallas Cowboys are still in the division race despite sitting at 2-4, the Philadelphia Eagles are dealing with major questions, and the Washington Commanders aren't helping themselves.

    PACKERS vs COWBOYS: Instant Reaction & Post-Game Show | In the Shed

    The Dallas Cowboys fall to 2-4 after a 23-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, and Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay have officially had enough. What looked like a 10-point loss on the scoreboard felt like a complete beatdown at Lambeau Field. The Cowboys offense couldn't get going, the defense struggled to get off the field, and the guys are questioning whether Brian Schottenheimer and Christian Parker are qualified to lead this team. Mike and Rudy break down Dak Prescott's struggles, the Cowboys abandoning the running game, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens failing to get opportunities downfield, and a frustrating night of NFL officiating. They also discuss Jerry Jones' responsibility for the team's losing culture, whether Dallas has enough talent to compete, and why Green Bay continues to operate like a winning organization while the Cowboys keep repeating the same mistakes. Topics Covered: Cowboys lose 23-13 to Packers: Why the final score doesn't tell the whole story. Brian Schottenheimer under FIRE: Mike and Rudy blast the Cowboys' offensive game plan and lack of creativity. Dak Prescott struggles: Pressure, interceptions, limited mobility, and questions about whether Dak should call his own plays. Christian Parker's defense: Dallas struggles despite having extra time to prepare for Green Bay. Jerry Jones and Cowboys culture: Why Mike believes the franchise's problems go far beyond the coaching staff.

With Dallas sitting at 2-4, the NFC East is still within reach, but the guys aren't convinced this team has what it takes to turn things around. Next up is another primetime matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Presented by The Shedfather.
