SPURS WERE AMAZING! (Well.. not amazing but STILL)



SPURS WERE AMAZING! (Well.. not amazing but STILL)

Game wow um so you’re going to hate me when I talk about the negatives cuz there are like couple negatives but uh a lot of positives actually a lot a lot a lot of positives so there were a lot of people you know you just talk about the

Elephant in the room all right the amazing Elephant Room there were a lot of people talking about wimy and in which and it was mostly Spurs fans it wasn’t like mainstream media they didn’t keep up with the last three games whatever they don’t care uh but wimy has

Definitely struggled L over the last few games and it was really only because he went against the Nuggets which they played him uh very well they did a good job of double teaming in the right time putting him in situations that made him uncomfortable um so they did their thing

And then the Houston Rockets they did it twice in which he was very uncomfortable you could definitely tell uh and udoka is a defensive coach so he he made sure to make things uh really difficult for wimy and they had the Personnel to do so so he hasn’t really figured that out yet

He’s still going to have to um you know obviously gain a little uh uh strength and then on top of it him getting double team triple team and passing out he doesn’t have a lot of guys to pass it out to um lagging every word what it’s

Lagging a little Clan okay yeah it’s lagging it’s better now I think anyone else keep buffering what the heck what reset yeah yeah guys refresh I don’t know I have have no idea never mind it stopped okay I have no idea hold on let

Me turn this off there we go um yeah but yeah a lot of people were like oh my God what’s going on with wimy blah blah blah he’s he’s struggling he’s you know uh he can’t get it going is this the rookie wall and I just feel like no just

Overall it was just the fact that these teams had the Personnel to make things uncomfortable for him uh he does have weaknesses and he’s not necessarily doesn’t have that core strength and that overall strength yet to kind of fight through that nor does he have the teammates right now where he can just

Pass it out and and you know they make things happen that is not necessarily the case right now but with that being said uh in these types of games wimy is showing how much better he is from day one to now because the Nets did not have

The Personnel to be able to uh stop wimy and he made them looks silly I mean he made them look really silly uh so 33 points gosh I don’t even know where to start 33 points first and foremost that’s is that his high no his high is 38 right his career

High is his career high 38 oh gosh I got an idea hopefully it comes back 38 okay that’s what I thought I thought his career high was 38 um but yeah so his career high is 38 absolutely insane uh so 33 he’s he’s right in that ballpark um but he did

Phenomenal in this game and they just didn’t have the personality to really stop him uh so he just completely went off the Spurs are so much better than their record it’s just unfortunate that they’re just missing a few pieces that would make this record uh much better but H it’s just so frustrating

But moving on uh 33 points insane seven assists we already know he’s capable of that um people don’t really talk about his basketball IQ it’s very high like it’s very high um 15 rebounds seven blocks I I don’t know I don’t know what else to say that that’s just insane it’s

Kind of funny though because I remember okay so I was wrong about something I’m going to be honest I was wrong about something and it was something I was right about and it was actually talking to Chad and I was talking to you guys about it immensely before the season

Started so the one thing I was right about I said right off the bat wimy would be the best player on this team day one I I know that we had a lot of like Kellin uh lovers fael lovers saying of which no no no they they’re the

They’re the veterans of the team are they’ve been on the team longer than wimy like no no no you got to give it to them they will be and it’s like no I don’t want to hear any of that wimy was the best day one by a mile okay I mean I

I love Devon fael and I love um uh uh soan and I think I think Kellin is a good player but no he far better day one he was better um but now I think people can noticeably see how crazy the Gap actually is so obviously right about

That but that’s not a controversial statement I don’t think um especially not now people would just say now like yeah obviously but I’m telling you at that time so many people were like no no no um don’t do that yet uh but with that being said um the one thing I was

Completely wrong about and you guys were completely right or at least the chat at the time was completely right is that the Spurs are just going to struggle defensively and offense wouldn’t be the issue uh because I thought going into the season that defensively cuz on paper

It looks pretty dog on good right you like Trey Jones is a decent enough Defender um I like Zack Collins bringing that Grit uh obviously soan has been a consistent good Defender fael is a consistent decent Defender um I didn’t think Kellin was that great but he did

Talk about like how this season he’s really going to focus in on his defense I thought that the Spurs would be a very tough team to score on I was absolutely wrong I was absolutely wrong just because there’s a few players on the on the team that can play individual

Defense doesn’t mean their te team defense is good enough and it doesn’t mean that they have uh good enough defense coming off the bench uh but I also had the idea that Bassie would be are healthy but you know that that’s not that’s that’s not the case so

Unfortunately they are not that great defensively um and that’s kind of their biggest issue right now is just getting stops they still need some people uh to you know to shoot threes like we still need some uh three-point Shooters uh but but getting stops is is w it’s rough it

Is definitely hard to watch um in which they just cannot get a stop um so going through all the players really quickly uh soan offensively poor offensively bad decision-making down the stretch but like I said consistently all game long defense was on point I mean his defense

Was there I know people don’t really see it cuz it doesn’t come up in stat sheet I mean this this game it kind of did three blocks and a steal but usually defense doesn’t really come up or stand out in the stat sheet and but he did he

Did well defensively just offensively it was very poor um and I’m not expecting him to be like a great scorer but you do have to do better than this like it it was some really bad um fourth shots uh down the stretch that that he’s he’s just better than that um Julian champeny

Not really expecting much from him I mean I never I I rarely do but um he’s more of a bench player but he he did he did okay um anyways uh Trey John he was Trey like it’s so funny cuz Trey Jones is the one player that I have nothing like I

Never have anything to say about he’s very consistent I’ll give him that he’s very consistent with the type of player he is but I have nothing to say about that got that flager one call too which got his back in it uh yeah that was ridiculous like my god um kudos to Sohan

For not reacting cuz Sohan do does have a tendency where he will like hit back but his his his mind remained in the game uh to make sure that that we you know we we uh we got it going and he hit two huge free throws uh quite clutch if

You will uh but moving on uh Devin fael he seemed a little little weird at the beginning but he he end up he end up turning out to be you know who we thought he was right he he struggled as well over the last couple games I know

He’s coming off of an injury so is wimy so there was that um but de fael did well uh overall oh Kyle Haron he says rest in peace Tor yamama Sensei yeah that’s really sad um but he did great like Deon fael was you know he

Eventually got going and this is what I was talking about man he there’s no excuse there’s no reason in a million he can still get eight assists and there’s no excuse for him not to shoot the amount of shots that he took there’s no excuse there was one pass from wimy um

Like a really quick pass to fael to get him going for three and it was so sweet it was the one three that de fael hit and and the rest was the rest was uh rest was was easy selling not easy selling but he definitely got him going a little bit

More um but dude yeah he got it he got to shoot 21 shots the other the other game was so frustrating because it was like he has six points and he only took six shots I don’t care there’s no realm no no reality in which fael only takes

Six shots I don’t care I don’t care how well everyone is else’s play Devon fael should take at least 16 shots at least give him 15 16 there’s no reason he should take six shots ever um Devon only has six shots at the half happy he got

His shot in the second yeah there’s no excuse this this is what we need I don’t care if he goes zero for 21 like he he has to take those shots okay I’m okay with him you know shooting poorly or whatever but you got to take those shots

You’re by far the best scorer on on this team and the best best guard scorer on this team easily easily easily easily um what the heck people bringing up the Wi-Fi again what the heck I have no idea why it’s doing that guys no idea I got to keep refreshing my

Wi-Fi it’s so stupid yeah so dumb uh moving on uh so they did the they did well Zack Collins he did okay Osman Osman actually hit a couple like really good shots uh there was kind of like a I don’t know if you consider a floater um maybe you consider a r Runner

I don’t know what you consider what he did um is anyone else stream lagging it should be better now it was it should be better now I I have no idea what’s going on yeah I have no idea um but anyways moving on let’s see so Osman did really well um played

His role well I will say that uh Kellin Johnson had a good game offensively he definitely had a good game offensively um but and at this point you just got to take the good with the bad if the Spurs decide to keep Kellin I’m not mad I’m

Fine you’re just going to have to have Defenders around him you you got to figure something out um because there was one play in which kelin hit a super clutch three I’m like heck yeah that’s what I’m talking about um yeah I told you guys about the the over celebrating

Sometimes um but you know he got excited celebrate that’s cool he Get Hype can’t really take that from him that’s his personality or whatever um oh you guys can’t even see the score uh but yeah can’t take that away from him uh but then he immediately gave up a three like

Right after uh so it’s like come on and that three sent it to overtime so it’s it’s very frustrating I guess you guys just take the bad with the good um you know I I think about it more so I know this was a really good game for Kellin I

Guess I just think about it as a whole and it’s one of those situations where um if he’s if he’s shooting like this I mean there there’s you know he’s kind of making up for the defense there but he’s not going to shoot five for eight from three often at all so

Yeah but I don’t know I’ll give it to him this game he did well I’m not mad or anything it’s fine uh but it it was a little frustrating uh sending it to overtime it’s like oh my God but is it wasn’t just him the Spurs overall played

Pretty poorly uh down the stretch of that fourth quarter at the end everyone made like mental lapses um oh there’s llama KJ needs to just cut down the mental lapses it it it’s been like this since he was at Kentucky man I I don’t I just don’t think it’s going to change

That much I think the best thing that you can do is just surround him around uh Defenders he he he got to be out there with better Defenders um and better Shooters you know so so teams can’t just key in on them at times um what’s that when it was in

Austin I’m trying to see what you guys talking about oh he said did the game take place in San Antonio oh okay okay it was in Austin yeah yeah um yeah it was in Austin man um Malachi brandom he hasn’t been so some I saw some fans

Talking about like how he’s been a little disappointing over the last few games but then again uh Malachi was in a different role um we we haven’t utilized them as much as we were utilizing them like the last few few games prior so I don’t know Baro didn’t play strange but

Whatever um what else and then Blake Wesley this is one of those games where it it was pretty poor it was pretty poor and it’s fine you know he’s a young player he’s due for a bad game this is one of those where I could say at least in my opinion

Defensively he wasn’t as good as he normally is um he made quite a few like weird mistakes that he normally doesn’t make he wasn’t getting around screams as screens as well as he normally does it was kind of strange um but hey it’s what it’s what whatever he’s a young player

He can have a bad game here or there uh what kind of shocked me the most about this game and it took it really took the Brooklyn Nets to shoot really poorly from three because we only shot 24% from three I know that that feels weird especially since uh Kellin went five for

Eight so it felt like it was it was more threes hit but no it was terrible wmy went 1 for seven fael went 1 for seven uh for three when champeny uh 0 for two from Sohan 0 for one with Trey Jones I mean it was terrible they shot terribly

The only person that was hitting threes or was yeah was knocking them down was Kellin tonight so that’s a little unfortunate um but hey it it took it really took them playing very poorly I mean they’re shooting to be just as bad um also another thing that I actually

Love is the fact our free throw shooting was significantly better than theirs so they shot 68% um from the from the free throw line we shot 91.3% so I think that was kind of uh the winner there you know that was that was The Telltale sign right there cuz our

Percentages shooting wise were basically the same but free throw shooting was really good so you got to knock him down and and the Spurs did just that so overall really great game um it was fun to watch uh I’m just a little I’m a little disappointed with soan

Offensively in this this game uh you got to do a little better than this I mean I’m not expecting him to be a scorer but the it it’s one thing to go one for eight it’s a whole another thing when four of those shots were super unnecessary so like that kind of upset

Me and then also at the end kin giving up that three really bothered me um but it’s like continuous thing at this point Devon loves to play herob ball almost cost them the game Devin fael can play all the hero ball he wants right now okay it it is literally him and wi’s

Team like they can those two can play as much hero ball as they want I don’t even know what you mean by it but if you mean it how I think you mean it those two can play as much hero ball as they want bro don’t hate on Kellin he did

Good Kellin did fine he did good I just said that he basically held up our three-point shooting and he shot very well this game um it’s just just can’t give up that three like that how was the defense tonight I thought wimy did really well I thought Sohan did really well and at

Least it test as far as fael he did well um Trey Jones is just undersized and that’s going to continuous like continually be an issue um but yeah overall they weren’t bad like defensively the team as a whole wasn’t bad I don’t think I I thought we were

Way more physical than we normally have been so that’s good they play physical they didn’t just give them anything schroer fake Kell in on the closeout which was why he was so open oh you talking about the three at the end yeah he did yep he did

Mhm yep yep uh look I I mean I would be more charitable like honestly if this didn’t happen all the time I mean we were just talking about this maybe just a few weeks ago uh it was a game in which he gave up like two

Threes at the end and I was like dude what the heck we even looked at we went back and looked at the play and I was like come on um it happens all the time though you know Trey Jones were Trey yeah yeah Trey Jones was already there

Uh I think he was already on cam Thomas so there was no reason to bite the way he bit but whatever it’s fine this isn’t like I’m not hating on Kellin um it’s just frustrating and I and I’ve been I’m I’m going always be consistent with this

Okay like I said I’m always going to be a little bit more skeptical a little bit more harsh on longest 10e Spurs I just am if you’re in your first second year you know third year uh you usually I’ll be all right you know I’m I’m not going

To trip about it too much but he’s literally the longest 10e spur and it’s these the same issues but it’s okay did good clan w a souvenir for when I go overseas I’ll give it to you instead of my homeboy LOL just kidding yeah you’re not kidding I’ll take it

Too Kell didn’t even look at wimy that outlet pass low IQ hey I’m not expecting Kellin to make like perfect reads it’s just the defense kind of kills us and then yeah some of the decision making can kill you but he did good this game all right if Kellin didn’t shoot five for

Eight from three we would have lost this game I will say that I say that with all the confidence in the world okay I say that with all the confidence in the world he had to hit those threes for us to win the game but I just don’t like when you

Erase your points you know right after but it’s fine um okay I think I think that’s uh I think that’s all I got for this Spurs did fine not mad Victor wanyama had another insane statline he was very competitive during this this showing and it was fun to watch it’s all I got
