Home home so that’s not helping the Spurs uh tonight versus L now keep an eye on the third period scoreboard if the Lakers are leading they’re undefeated at home they’re 17 at home at oh at home at at the arena at crypto so keep an eye on that if that third period
Is Lakers up well might be another L for the Spurs but on the contrary this where can help the Spurs that being the third period scoreboard the Lakers are actually two and eight at home well below 500 when they’re trailing at home after the third period so you want to
Make sure your Spurs are up at the end of three now on the San Antonio side uh the Spurs have a losing streak against the Lakers they’ve lost two straight versus the L so hopefully the Spurs can snap that now the Spurs are two and seven on the second game of a backto
Back now last night they played Sacramento so well below 500 so hopefully they’re not gassed and they shouldn’t be they had a long break uh they not like they traveled anywhere they stayed in California Sacramento and so it’s not they had a big travel distance but hopefully again the Spurs
Can up uh put another W on the win column of a second game of back toback so there you have it all right coming up next we have Raul Flores of the AP sports radio we’re going to be discussing if the Spurs can avoid disaster finishing with the worst record

Today we have Raul Flores and he told me to tell you you are the OG ra only by a year yeah we we we we went to we went to high school together and yeah he was a class behind me so yeah by the way great background you get the
Icean there you got all those old school photos of the Spurs yeah look at that the bruise Brothers there everything last time you’re on that that Iceman is the og ice ice post right that is the original one yeah yeah not not the not the not the
Reprint that they did uh I think they did it for the oh what was it it may have been Spurs 25th anniversary or something like that they they reprinted that that poster yeah you’re like no I’m good you got the that’s the original Nik Nike poster
So that is awesome man all right so Raul is joining us today because we’re gonna ask a big question that’s probably on the Spurs panss right now is that can the Spurs avoid disaster disaster meaning the worst record in franchise history it was set last year with 22
Wins right now they only got 11 well as of this recording they have 11 you know depending on the outcome of the Spurs Kings game yeah but there’s only about 25 27 games is left in the season and that’s it Raul can this team avoid
Disaster can they at least get 22 to tie yeah well uh remember that in 1996 97 season they went uh 20 and 62 uh so that’s their that’s their worst record that’s their worst record okay that’s the worst record so and right now sitting at 11 wins with uh with just
About 25 games to go I don’t see them winning nine more games this year yeah uh as much as I’d love to uh and they could surprise us they could you know they could uh you know string together uh a few wins uh and and you know hopefully not
Uh break that you know futile record uh but you know you look at you look at the remaining schedule I was looking at the schedule and I just went game by game uh and I’ve got them winning one two three four five six seven more games which would put them at
18 uh the you know the Spurs at Lakers in a couple of nights that one I have as a toss-up so could be could be nine wins which would put him at 20 and 62 and and tied four their their worst record ever uh but uh even at that even at at 18
Wins they still wouldn’t be in the uh in the top 10 uh worst all-time finishes which uh you you never want to be in in that company but you know you look at the 73 the 1973 uh Philadelphia 76ers they went uh 9 and
73 and then the 2016 SE uh 76ers went 10 and 72 um those are the two worst records in in in an 82 Game season there are others uh that had the Charlotte Hornets in the shortened season in 2012 I think uh won uh seven seven games that year uh right
But but there was only 60s something games that year so they they may have won two more games that year had it been an 82 Game season uh but then you go down the list and you’ve got uh you know the the 93 Mavericks and the 98 nuggets
Had 11 wins uh then there’s uh the Clippers and the Nets had 12 win Seasons uh Mavs Hawks Rockets Grizzlies all had 13 and 14 uh win seasons so hopefully they don’t fall in that that top 10 uh that top 10 range but you know
It it is what it is it is yeah yeah and you know I I know people are talking about you know that the team is tanking uh for the top pick or you know to be near the top you know there’s never any guarantee last year wasn’t guaranteed uh
The Spurs you know uh in uh what year was it 8990 uh no in the 86 87 season there were 28 and 54 um and the the Clippers Nets and Knicks all had better records than them okay and and Spurs ended up with the top pick and and got David
Robinson uh who had to fulfill his his military obligation and didn’t join the team until the 89 season along with with Shawn Elliot so he came into a situation you know that I think people thought that wemi coming in was was going to you know turn this franchise around
Immediately but Wy came into a totally different situation than David Robinson came into uh you know when in 80 in the 8990 season when David and Shawn were were were rookies um they also had Terry Cummings Mike Mitchell Maurice Cheeks Rod Strickland Willie Anderson who was coming off as the leading score the
Previous season um and it was an upgrade from from that 21 and 61 one team um and you know so you know the that roster on on that team that went 21 and 61 I mean they had Greg Cadillac Anderson Frank Browski uh and like I said Willie Anders
Willie Anderson was was our leading score uh I think he was in his first or second year uh and you know it it the situation that Robinson and Elliot came into and the situation that Duncan came into uh they came in with with Bonafide players that were going to
Help the franchise turn around almost immediately right what we’re seeing with with wmy and all these young people you know it just it’s not gonna happen overnight no no it’s it’s not gonna happen right now Vegas has the Spurs winning 16 that’s the updated win total
Projection so just five more wins on the season now where I think Vegas um you know look you never been against the house the Vegas predicted Spurs would what a what a 22 23 win season for this year we scoffed at it we laughed at it
And guess what you know they were right but the what I what I see that could help the Spurs avoid that kind of dubious honor is if maybe some of the power teams they play late in the season start resting guys you know but Dallas rest L Luca you know their playoff run
You know low management he starts hitting them that that could be it also too you know there comes to a point Raul where and I think they’re there already well you got to start thinking yeah maybe you start thinking about the draft I I know this is not a very heavy duty
All powered draft but you start you have to start thinking about that like okay sure let maybe there’s not a Bonafide Power Star like last year with wiby right but you could start thinking about getting the best position maybe to trade out of the top five get a deal done you
Know I think that has to keep going through their mind right now but I’m I’m going to go with Vegas I think 16 wins I think that’s all they got I think that that’s it I mean bar any Miracle run they get or or wheny just goes Supernova
On on everybody exactly yeah it’s uh it’s going to be a challenge and you know so what does that mean looking looking forward it’s unlikely that the Spurs are going to get the top pick again they’ll be in the lottery yeah uh but the chances that you know ping pong
Balls or whatever you know whatever method they use now uh fall their way for the number one pick again uh you know you’ll have conspiracy theorists thinking you know there you know there’s there’s no way envelope cold envelope for exactly yeah so you know so what’s the biggest need right now it’s a
Playmaker I I think I really think you need a point guard uh and possibly you know Nicola topic is is available at that spot I think he’s a I think he’s a top three pick you the spur can land you know land in the in the top three spots
Uh so that meets the biggest need now granted he’s been injured uh but before his injury you know playing in the adriatics uh League you know he’s averaging 19 points uh and and seven SE about seven assists uh per game he’s you know he’s a good ball handler uh his his
His shooting comes into question great free throw shooter but but just questionable too yeah and his defense is questionable so then you look at all right if available do you go with you know the the better player or the need and I I for me I’d go with the better
Player how pop and Brian Wright think it through might be completely different uh but if if the Spurs could land Alexander SAR um and team him up with wmy you know that’d be that’d be great be yeah but you know those are a lot of ifs yeah
There’s a lot of ifs for again for me you know the other options I mention right now is trading out of the top five let’s just say they land the top five or you know trade out even top 10 trade out of that uh you know because a this team
Is only going to get younger if they get one of the guy and they bring him in on the roster yeah when the lack of Veteran presence that you mentioned is sortly lacky you know you mentioned the Willie Anderson Terry Cummings R Strickland Mo Cheeks you know for though that that
Type of imprint that this team needs now look there’s something to be said about having these kids come up together and growing together and becoming that team you know Peter Hol told a French media Outlet uh that their goal is to turn this Spurs back into a what was it like
A dynasty or a Powerhouse team but if you want to get there you’re gonna have to mix in veterans now but that’s the thing right because let’s just say can you imagine they run it back they run it back with the exact same team techic there’ll be veterans on the
Squad Kell Devin uh I don’t know how long how many years it takes to not be considered a rookie or a young guy V wmy will be in his second year Trey Jones will be entering another year so there’s something to say about that but can you
Imagine Raul if they run it back again with the same roster for me I wouldn’t be surprised though yeah I you just don’t see the Spurs uh you know in the last 25 years making you know outside of signing LaMarcus Aldridge is a free agent uh and
Bringing in Demar d rozan uh for a year uh you just don’t see the Spurs bringing in uh you know uh veterans that will make a starting lineup impact yeah they’ve always brought in free agents or or made some trades where they get pieces uh for for players that you know
That that are going to complement what you’ve got but a player that’s gonna come in and make a total impact I pop that’s just not that’s never been Pop Style we we need Bob bass to come back and run the GM spot again Trader Bob needs to come
Back trader Bob exactly yeah you know and and I was thinking about that that uh that 20 and 62 season uh you know Robinson Robinson missed the first 18 games with a back injury uh comes back plays six games and then breaks his foot right uh and sea Elliot only played 39 games
That season uh because he had tendonitis in his right knee and had to have surgery uh so those may be the two best injuries if you can say such a thing oh yeah to ever happen for a franchise uh because in the words of Shawn Elliott if
David Robinson doesn’t go out there’s no Tim Duncan and there’s no Dynasty exactly plain and simple exactly and what the Spurs did uh you know again and I’ll reiterate it I’ve said it before we got spoiled 22 consecutive playoff appearances is unheard of and I I’m almost certain that
It’ll never happen again due to free agency uh due to due to it’s just a different mindset of players so many of these players you know they want their bank and you know they’ll play you know whatever 15 years and and they’re gone or they’re they’re jumping
Out me you you know you look at someone like Kawai as as a premier player as he is he’s already on his third team you just don’t see players you know staying look at James Harden James Harden’s you know per perennial All-Star how many teams has he been on already um so many
You know you know and I and I think back it’s funny because I remember when when OKC was up and coming with Durant Westbrook and Harden had that had that core stayed together they would have been Tim Tony and Manu all over again yeah um and and could have had a a
Really long run but Eagles get in the way contracts get in the way and so what we had here in San Antonio was extremely special you had player you had Tim Duncan and David Robinson always restructuring their contracts to keep players here Tony always took less than
What he was really worth Manu took way less than what he was ever what what he was worth you know on the open market uh just to keep that that that team together and they totally bought into the team concept and they created something that we may never see again in the
NBA and and you look at the Spurs right now circling back uh to um the whole uh you know where they avoid disaster you know as far as get the worst record even like just just the end the back end of the rotary road trip they got they
Had the Kings last night they got the Lakers tonight you know then when they get then they got what um the Jazz which might be winnable Jazz wolves the t- Wolves might be a problem but then they come back home ra and then they get oh
Yeah welcome back you got OKC yeah so uh and Pacers and Pacers right yeah exactly you know welcome home um well welcome back McDermot so here’s the thing it’s going to be tough I don’t see the Spurs avoiding disaster I think they’ll fall
Uh I I mean it it’ll be a win if they hit nine to at least tie the uh you know 20 I mean that that’d be a win I guess but yeah I’m not I’m not feeling it I’m not feeling I think Vegas spot on I
Think you’re right it’s going to be a tough road ahead for the spur to avoid disaster but uh yeah there we have it you know just based on the strength of schedule I think the Spurs do have one of the toughest strength of schedules to
The season abut I was I was looking at it yeah they’ve got they got to play the Kings twice they got to play The Warriors three times I think still yeah uh the Nuggets twice uh yeah uh the sun’s back to back then then they have a uh home games
Versus Brooklyn and Denver in Austin yeah so yeah it’s GNA be rough Spurs fan so uh I I think spor fans already accepted that that this might be their worst record uh in franchise history yeah and and you can’t get mad people you know fans get mad oh they you know
They’re this they’re that and you know any uh adjective that you can think of that you know they throw it to Spurs and no man it’s it’s a it’s you know cliche as it sounds it’s a process uh you know you look at what what OKC is doing now you know a couple
Of years ago man they were in the same position as the Spurs uh but with draft picks and picking up some players and you know granted uh you know Shay has just been Gang Busters I mean what you know what a what a gem they found in in
That when when they got it from the Clippers um you know so it’s it is what it is and I think I think if fans just remain patient you know and the team’s GNA turn it around and you’re you know as long as wmy is is your your
Cornerstone uh you know there there’s a good 10 to 12 uh year run um you know in the future yeah I I think they probably won’t get out of the rebuild Forest until maybe couple more years I think it’ll be and then they’ll be hitting okay we’re a playing game a tournament a
Player participant kind of team but all right well there you have it there are thoughts if the Spurs can avoid a dubious record the worst record in franchise history is not looking good let’s put it that wayy when we get back yeah it’s not when we get back we’re

Lockdown Spurs with the OG Flores according to Raul uh according I’m sorry the OG Raul according to Raul Dominguez he is Raul Flores uh right here on locked off where making his second appearance and again uh you know you look from those posters you see behind
You on Raul’s side of the screen the stories that he can tell you one of my favorite stories he told us he you tell us one more time Raul that you covered a Bulls game at the hemisphere and they they they gave y’all autographs of my
Yeah so we we uh you know back then we didn’t have the computerized stat sheets that were fed to us after the game or whatever so we had to we had to turn in a story like no more than two minutes after the game was finished you know 200
Words with you know just a a recap of the game right away and then you had to call in the box and read it off line by line yeah you know each player and their complete stat line and so you’d call that in and some guy in New York was
Taking the box and punching it into the computer and then we had to run to the locker rooms to get our quotes uh we didn’t have quot we didn’t have quote Runners for us back then so there I go to the locker room and we’re waiting to
To interview Michael Jordan and uh so we go in and you know they sat him in in a chair in the middle of the the dressing room and reporters standing around him asking him questions and as we’re walking out the pr guy goes hey we’ve got a couple of these media guides with
Uh that’s awesome with that Michael signed uh if you want to take one and you know on the back of our of our uh of our B you know we can’t ask for autographs we can’t take pictures you know so we we agree to all that as media
But when this guy handed us you know the three reporters that were walking out he hands us this this Chicago Bulls media guide with the with the with this with Michael Jordan’s autograph on it I was like well heck yeah I’ll take it heck take that yeah so so I’ve got it stored
Away next time you have me on I’ll bring it out Absolutely I’ll have it ready yeah love to Che that out yeah well let’s go ahead and dive into some of the Spurs fans comments what’s on their mind that they left at the lock on Spurs YouTube page the first one up is
From Gino Rivera uh his uh he’s having a reaction to the recent um interview that Zack Collins did with the spokesman review uh just to catch you up rul in that interview uh he was you know praising wmy you know for his work ethic you know being so young you know pretty
Much everything we heard interesting though within that interview though he was asked if he would lik you know about moving from the starting lineup when he was paired with wmy now he’s not paired with wmy for much his time he’s not on the bench in that interview he said that he
Would like to return to that pairing as the season winds up need to say Spurs fans had a reaction to that this one comes from Gino Rivera he says honestly I thought Zach would have been a good fit with wimy but he can’t make shots to
Keep the spacing what do you think about that is it just Lally coming down to just two different players you got a wimy who can do almost everything and Zach who is good but not at the level of wimy and they were just running into each other so many times what are your
Thoughts about that yeah he’s you know I I I thought when the Spurs signed Zack I thought it was a great pickup uh you know I I I was excited about it uh and you know he was coming off you know almost two years of not playing um
Because of injuries and so it took him all of last season to just kind of get acclimated so I expected a whole lot more out of him this year um but that that Chemistry Between the two uh just hasn’t been where it needs to be uh you
Know uh what was the the the person’s name Gino Gino yeah gin Gino yeah he’s he’s absolutely right you know they’re uh they’re not clicking the way they should and and Zack Collins is very sporadic in his shooting you know he’ get on a hot streak and and hit you know
Three three pointers in a row and then he’ll Clank six uh and so you know that that that lack of consistency forces defenses to to not play him as tight and and you know double up on on on wemy or or anybody else uh and you know
And and and challenge Zack to take that shot um I think where Zach uh really needs to be is inside the paint banging bodies he he needs to be that Bruiser that enforcer uh you know uh blocking out uh so many times I see him and he just
Misses a blockout a simple blockout you know and it’s fundamental fundamental basketball you know I’m uh I’m um you know five foot five yeah really really I I thought you can take on Wy 101 yeah and and I just I I can’t block I you know I yeah I want to block somebody
Out but I can’t but at you know 611 whatever Zach is you he should be he should be blocking out bodies and and he’s got them he’s got the strength to do it uh he just misses misses the spots yeah exactly and I looked at some of the
Numbers um you know I wrote something up for Ken 5 about this and the the onoff the the the two-man combo with wimy and uh Zach so with uh wimy and Zach on the court together this year the net rating was a minus 10.4 rounded up 10.5 okay
But when wmy was on the court without Zach and Zach’s on the bench the net rating SP well spikes up you know to minus four so just that s alone told you that you know it was perhaps a better way to move Zack to the bench and let Wy
Do his thing but look he’s H Zack Hollins he’s having career highs and assists this year and uh I believe in free field goals attempted so he’s having a serviceable year you know he’s really still good yeah you know but it’s just yeah they I think they were just
Running into each other too much and they were just a contrast of styles so we appreciate that comment from Gino Rivera we appreciate it before we move on to the next comment final thoughts on the Zach Collins wmy thing no I think uh you know I think it’s it’s a I don’t
Think it’s a it’s an experiment that that should be completely just you know let go uh I think there’s there’s still the possibility that that the two can work together uh at the same time on the court uh they they just need to you know
You know we’re what uh 50 games into the season games in yeah yeah you know give it a SE seon uh and then give them an offse to work together absolutely and see where that goes because I I think all right yeah I think he’s more than just a serviceable player yeah exactly
And the Spurs invested in him they gave him a new contract so yeah we’ll see what they do with that all right our next question is from Roberto Maldonado 2723 he says and this is regarding the Trey young Spurs rumors rul he says I’m against the Trey Young trade because it
Doesn’t feel like a trade you make when you’re are one of the bottom four teams the trade trade seems more logical when you’re a contender traded all of our assets to improve to a seventh or eigh seed playoff team seems premature thank you Roberto for that comment yeah that’s
Been on the lips of Spurs fans uh since and it’s spiked during the All-Star break because of Trey Young’s comments about what wimy needs to succeed he was basically describing himself right and then of course you know the the reports and whatnot where do you land on this uh
Do you think this is more smoke or smoke than fire or buy or sell I think it’s it’s more smoke just based on his comments you know people jump on it right away I don’t see Trey ever coming here and if he did it’s going to be an
Offseason move uh so it’s not going to be anything to to help them this year um you know move up to two spots three spots whatever whatever it it would do to for the Spurs um you know again Spurs biggest need right now is a playmaker um
You know is is Trey that that person you know he’s he’s definitely an All-Star definitely a great player uh but is he the right fit for the Spurs I I I just don’t see it I don’t think so yeah yeah well Raul Dominguez yesterday you know he his thing he he’s okay with
It you know if the Spurs make a deal they make a deal they get it you know oh no you know not Trey young not that you know not in Spurs uniform but our concerns were the lack of Defense on a team that’s just some sometimes can show
Bad defense now look Wy does cover up a lot so let’s just say Trey gets dusted by his opponent okay fine go meet wimy so there’s that the other thing too is mortgaging the future the Spurs are sitting on a lot of picks a lot of money
A lot of flipable players you know Atlanta going to want to stick it to San Antonio and they when they give him the bill for uh trade the spur you want what you know yeah basically what the Spurs did to Atlanta for for D exactly just reverse so those are the only cautious
Things but yeah look Trey young is he’s a good facilitator you know I think his assisting um doesn’t get really uh praise enough you we know he can score we know he’s a deep threat we know it can penetrate we know he loves playing against the Spurs because he s has
Career games against San Antonio so and he and and everybody’s talking about the recent Rumblings and his you know talking poetic about the Spurs you know years ago in my former home before I jumped on to Ken’s 5 I wrote an article about how Trey young and that mind you this is about
Three four years ago was saying how great the Spurs organization is how wonderful it is so this this is not the first time we’ve heard him say things great things about San Antonio so I understand why Spurs fans are getting excited but yeah ultimately will the Spurs pay
The price tag yeah man what do you think r i it he what he would command yeah dollars wise I just don’t see the Spurs doing that that’s that’s not their game that’s not their style um just let alone Atlanta what they would want for yeah yeah what Atlanta would want and then
What it would cost to keep him here yeah what it’s going to cost to keep WBY here um you know over over the over the Long Haul uh and then you know which pieces do you let go which ones do you keep um it’s gonna cost you probably Devin uh
Soan maybe K probably yeah Kellin yeah yeah and you know then what are you left with exactly you’re kind of own back to scratch you know like okay now we got to rebuild because we rebuild within the rebuild by bringing in Trey young but well we’ll see we’ll see the Spurs
Definitely can be a Power Player this off season they were kind of abely you know uh in the trade deadline but look they got a bunch of picks they’re likely going to land a top five pick maybe top eight at worst so they can do something

I don't want anybody who can't shoot.
You will have a pissed off fan base with running it back with this same squad! You also have to factor in the uncertainty of the current economic climate in the country also and that’s a problem that all current professional sports leagues are going to have to deal with in the future. You are going to have to entice fans with a glimmer of hope and running it back will mean a lot more empty seats at the Frost! I am just saying!
It's still the honeymoon period between the Spurs and their fans. The season is a lost cause and the silver lining is the chance to pick up more talent during the draft and some new hires in the off-season.
Raul Flores sounds level headed and has great takes. Good job sir.
