But then their friend goes, ‘But it’s a Duncan jersey,’" ujar Griffin.

Keyakinan tersebut didasarkan pada performa impresif beberapa pilar utama tim sepanjang babak final.

"It’s tough. Young team.

They’re trying to do things that we’ve never seen before. We get one.

We get one here. Knicks are going to be rattled.

I think the Spurs have a good opportunity. Dylan Harper’s been playing incredible.

Jalen Brunson’s really good, but Dylan Harper was the best player on the floor the last two games.

We have the best player on the floor this series, and Wemby’s the best player in the world.

So, we’re in a good spot," kata Griffin.

Rasa gugup menjelang pertandingan diakui selalu muncul setiap pagi melalui komunikasi intensif sesama rekan pendukung di grup percakapan.

"Oh, for sure. You know, we generally, each morning, somebody in the group chat, you know, says, ‘Gameday, boys.’

Or, you know, like what (former Spurs guard) Patty (Mills) used to say, ‘Gameday, Bala.’ And so, yeah, there’s a little bit of that.

You know, I’m thinking about it all day, and especially with the finals here, because, you know, I’m walking around and seeing people with their Knicks stuff.

I kind of want to make comments, but I generally don’t. And, yeah, definitely some game day jitters as though I’m on the team," tutur Griffin.

Jika San Antonio Spurs berhasil mencuri satu kemenangan di Madison Square Garden, Griffin berencana mengawal langsung perjuangan tim pada gim kelima.
