SHUT UP SPORTING NEWS andNBA TALK WNBA LOCKOUT

my wife took my car case. Yeah yeah, yeah, so I couldn't even watch the Spurs at home. Thank you Ken's TV, Thank you streaming television. Listen. I'm not one of those guys that still has cable TV okay and hooks it up and steals it from my neighbor. All right, I'm not that guy. All right, I'll try to stream a little bit, and I'm full of it. Today, I'm gonna tell you Spurs fans, you're gonna get more of the former comedian than you are the so called wanna

be sit at home NBA analysis that I am. All right. We're gonna have a little bit of fun on this episode today. We're also gonna get to Lebron throws a temper tantrum on the court. No way. We're also gonna

talk about the w and be a as well. You can laugh if you while we're not getting into stats or anything, but we're gonna talk about this possible lockout situation in the WNBA just a little bit, and we're gonna go over the Eastern Conference Western Conference standings, and we're gonna dispel some rumors yet again here on the show and tell you to pump the brakes. Okay, pump the brakes on who's coming to San Antonio, Why they're

coming here? And we have this four percent opportunity to get Cooper flag and if we trade here, we get rid of Devin and we get rid of Kelton, and we do this, that and the other thing. We make all these kind of chess pieces that makes the proverbial how do I want to put this Jenga board come crashing to the ground. I don't think it's gonna happen, folks. A lot of people out there are talking a lot of smack and they don't even live here in San Antonio to even know what the hell's going on. I'm

gonna call out a writer from the Sporting News. Well today, I'm tired of turning on my tablet, okay, and I go to look at news and the first thing I say, Spurs are gonna acquire one hundred and sixty million dollars small forward from the Phoenix Suns. Oh, they're gonna now go after the point guard. Oh, they're going after this guy. And it's the same stupid damn writer trying to take monkey crap and throw it to a wall and see

if it sticks. We're gonna talk about them today. I'm gonna call them out, and we're gonna tag them on X and I want this to be something, all right, But I need you Spurs fans, I need you to dispill these murmurs as well. But we'll talk a little bit about what the Spurs are gonna try to do in the offseason. Who's really gonna fit as a superstar with the Spurs. I saw one name, one name that could be fun here. But let's be honest, they'd have to give up a lot. The Spurs would really have

to give up a lot. And we'll get to that in just a moment. Let's take you back to the Charlotte Hornets game last Friday night where they took on the hors here in San Antonio. Let's just be honest. Our defense sucks. It sucks. I really wanted to get on the air right after this one, but I was too busy hurling in a toilet, throwing up and puking because I was absolutely livid at the amount of three pointers they allowed the Charlotte Hornets to take that night.

I mean, it's the Charlotte Hornets. The Charlotte Hornets. I'm going to reiterate the Charlotte Hornets. They have a good young team, not quite there yet, missing one or two pieces to really be one of those teams in the middle of the Eastern Conference. I think they can do it next year if they stay a little healthy and Ball decides to be a leader on this team. I mean a leader. He's showing it with his stats on

the floor, But I mean a leader. Once he becomes a leader, he's going to be devastating I think in the league and be one of those point guards to really watch out for years to come. But let's take a look at the matchup first between the Hornets and the Spurs last Friday night, Hornets one forty five. How many of you all thought that the Hornets would probably hit one seventy point eighty And I'm not saying because of the hot shooting, but I mean, in the first half,

what'd they have like seventy seven points? I thought they'd have a lot more than that, But our team tried to come back. We were down by as many twenty

as twenty points throughout most of this game. Not going to stay on this game, but when you have a team that shoots sixty percent from the field period sixty percent, and then twenty six three pointers were made out of forty six no defense from either side of the ball because the Spurs shot fifty percent, they shot forty five percent from three point range, hitting twenty one threes on their own, and they both hit the same amount of free throws at seventeen free throws. So what killed it for?

The Spurs, well, it was the turnovers. Turnovers led to those three pointers. They kept their turnovers low, but the turnovers that they did turn the ball over ended up hitting a lot of those transition threes. We did out rebound the Hornets. We looked good on the glass a little bit there. But if you really wanted to see what the Spurs look like without Victor wembin Yama, we are the Charlotte Hornets of the West. We are they

They look like an identical team, they really do. I think without Wemby we probably would have won twenty one games this year. If he didn't, you know, start the beginning of the year, let's move on, because I just couldn't believe those threes were falling like that. But we picked up a nice win against New Orleans. But again it was New Orleans, New Orleans. Of course we beat them one nineteen one point fifteen. That was a come from behind too. Castle Vicel have been leading this team,

which we were hoping that would happen. Castle only had seventeen in this one, but seven assists. The sale has been hitting for over twenty points over the last couple of games. It's nice to see the bench players get some work, Mamu putting up double figures, Keldon Johnson doing his thing, and it's really nice to see so handed destroyer out there really mixing it up with teams and saying, hey, we're not gonna take your crap. We're not gonna be one of these teams. You're just gonna run over us.

And that happened in LA on Monday night. We told you this wouldn't be pretty. The Spurs tried. The first quarter, I would say they look pretty decent, but then we lost that quarter by ten. We lost every quarter except for the fourth, and we only won that by three. We lost to a Lebron Laker list team. Let's talk about this Laker fans really quick. Some of y'all live here in San Antonio. I'm gonna give you, guys props. This Laker team looks like a team to really be

reckon with once Lebron leaves. I think Lebron gives way too much issues behind the scenes on the court, and you're gonna start to see some of these players really start to gel for you, guys, without Lebron on the floor, which you have Austin Reeves in this one had thirty points. That was five straight games of thirty or more. And it isn't just Austin Reeves, Luka Donich twenty one points, fourteen assists. He missed a triple double by one board.

Godwin looked great, Finny Smith looked great. Knock down some threes when they needed it. Jackson Hayes I like as well. Jackson Hayes, I believe can be your center of the future. There not somebody that's like a Victor winbin Yama or in Alprin Sagoon. Somebody that could really fill that middle, grab those rebounds, which he did nine points, eleven boards, three assists, two steals in a block. That's what they need. Jackson Hayes looked really good there, gave Vincent off the bench,

played well. Dalton connect Man, how would you like to be Dalton connect Hey, you're gonna get traded to Charlotte. Oh, by the way, the NBA block to go back to LA. That is horrible and uh, I think it's stupid that they were gonna trade them. You know, LA. I think really needs to keep connect Reeves Donnage together. This is a team that can really gel together. As they beat the Spurs one nine This was a game where two Castle struggled but picked it up late twenty three points,

eight rebounds, three assists, and Vassel against seventeen points. In order for the Spurs to win, Vassell needs to score twenty points or more over these last month and a half we got left here. They're rolling into New York tonight. This one's gonna be another tough one. They're rolling against New York tonight here at home at the Frost Bank Center at seven o'clock. This is gonna be a tough one for the Spurs. The Knicks are SAI and at third in the East at forty three and twenty four

out of their last ten games. Right now, they're sitting at a six and four clip and they're trying to position themselves. It looks like they're gonna sit at that third position. I don't think they'll overtake the Celtics or seven games back of them. Definitely won't overtake the Cavaliers, which they're thirteen games back of the Calves, and the Pacers are five games back behind them. The Eastern Conference positions one through three look like they're shaped up pretty well.

One through four, really, I mean, the Bucks are fighting for position. The East is going to be interesting. Calves, Celtics, Knicks, Pacers, Bucks, Pistons, Hawks, Magic Bulls, Heat round out your top ten raptors are on the outside looking in which San Antonio will get a chance to play them Sunday night in Toronto. We really need to get those two wins against Phoenix and against Toronto. I don't see the win against the Knicks. Wemby had to put up fifty on Christmas Day and

we couldn't beat them. I just want some realistic values to sit in here, Spurs fans. I see a lot of you in the digital arena on the Spurs app. I love the enthusiasm. I love seeing you guys say, hey, we can win every game, but when our stats aren't showing that, it's pretty tough. So they'll be playing the Knicks here tonight. If you're looking for a prediction Spurs loss. I'm very excited about Friday night. We have gone from the bleachers to the floor. That's right, that's right. I'm excited.

A big shout out to my YMCA Coyotes seven and eight year old families for really giving me a gift couple gifts this year for coaching their teams. Very very proud to coach your children. I got nice Victor Wembin Yama shirt. I also got a really nice award from one of them. And then this was amazing. We got floor tickets to the Spurs. We're going to be behind the bench, So the San Antonio Spurs Weekly podcast going to make their presence felt on the floor in the

Frostbank Center Friday night. We didn't get a chance to go to the Pelicans game. I'm not joking. My wife had a list of events for San Antonio's greatest entertainment company for Hoa's out there shameless plug Yes on Core Entertainment sat X. If you are looking for a company to supply all your entertainment needs for your communities, give them a call today at eight o four four nine zero two three five two or check them out on

the internet at on Core Entertainment SATX dot com. Now, she went to go do a show, went to go do a couple things, a glow party, a DJ glow party, and yeah, we went out earlier in the day. Took both sets of keys and we left my car keys in her car. She was like, well, we can get

an uber I'm like, I'm not getting an uber. It was that night here in San Antonio or the winds were horoocious anyway, and we were like, all right, we'll just stay home then, and so we missed that game, but God blessed us with a great opportunity to get some floor seats. He was first is last, and who was last as first? Just remember that we'll be checking out the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Hope to get you some highlights from that game. Maybe some live audio would

be great. To maybe get some of the Spurs to do a quick little interview if we get that opportunity to do so, that'd be fantastic as well. But we're going with the boys and we're looking forward to doing that that night, and hopefully they'll pick up a dub Friday night. Then they're off to Toronto for a Sunday night game, and then they go to Detroit Tuesday, which we probably will join you guys next Wednesday on the show and we'll go over those games there. Detroit probably

will be a loss as well. Detroit's playing well. I think Detroit could easily slip up to the fourth position. They are tied currently with thirty eight wins between the Bucks and the Pacers. I said that right, they're tied with the same amount of wins as the Bucks. No wonder why Giannis Watts out of Milwaukee. It was the stupidest move from Milwaukee Bucks to ever bring in Doc Rivers. Doc Rivers couldn't do it in any team he's ever been with before. I like Doc, but let's be honest.

He was an above average player with Atlanta. What makes you think he was going to get a team over the top to win in to do that? He played. He did well in Boston, but he had a lot of people around him. I don't think he's a strategic mind, and I thought it was a dumb move for the Bucks to do just that when they had a good coach in their own really leading the way for the Bucks. So that might be the downfall of the Bucks. The surprise of the East, though, are the Detroit Pistons and

San Antonio will play them next Tuesday night. Let's kind of move on to some other news here across the league before we do another one of our sponsors we want to give a shout out to as well. They're kicking off literally this week. The San Antonio Gunslingers professional indoor football team. They play right next door to the

Frost Bank Center at the Freemam Coliseum. I'm excited to go back there because one of my first ever events that I saw in the Freeham Coliseum here in San Antonio was a steel cage match between Macho Man Randy Savage and Hal Coogan. That's right, a WWE event. And now my kids first event is going to be at the San Antonio Gunslingers game on March twenty second. We're excited to go check out that game. There's a lot of meat and greets going on throughout the city of

San Antonio. Here for more information, you can head on over to their website as well. You can follow them all over social media on TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook. Just use the hashtag hashtag guns up. That's gun z up. That's gun z up. If you want some ticket opportunities, maybe you have some business clients in town, maybe you want to take your kids to a school event, contact Jonathan Baine for ticketing. He's also their quarterback coach. Jonathan

at Sagunslingers dot com. Again, Jonathan at Sagunslingers dot com. Got a chance to speak to them at the rodeo. They hooked us up with free tickets as well, and we'll see them on Saturday nights. So a big weekend of sports here in my household, Spurs and the San Antonio Gunslingers. But I want to get to something talking about this gentleman. Oh man, this, this, this, this gentleman and a lot of people on the Internet that are

like me. We we enjoy talking about sports and sometimes we think we know a little more than what we possibly think. And there's a lot of great YouTube channels. The bleacher bums for the San Antonio Spurs are great. We always give them a shout out. I don't always see eye to eye on them, but I do like a lot of their content as well. Uh TSW sports right now is just absolutely ludicrous saying that San Antonio is definitely going to sign Kevin Durant. And then let's

move on to this clown from the Sporting News. This is a guy that has a national recognization for writing. Okay, he is an online writer for the Sporting News and I have never ever ripped somebody about their blogs or stuff that they but this has got to stop, all right, and I'm I understand that you can rip me back. You know, fifty people listen to this podcast or whatever. But I do this for fun, all right. You do this for a damn living. Okay, You're taking phoon off

of everybody's plate from reading this garbage, all right. And what I mean by this is every night I'll open up my tablet to the Google Sports right or Google News, and because I read a lot of sports pages here locally in San Antonio, automatically I will get this garbage and swill on my page talking about what the Spurs are going to definitely be doing well. I got a

little excited. I opened this first page. I think it was like on a Monday, right, and san Antonio said, it looks like they're going after a one hundred and ninety five million dollar jazz star in the front court. Lori Markinen. We talked about this in the offseason. We talked about this a trade deadline. Laurie would be a great addition to the Spurs. He's one of those quiet players, gives you twenty five a game. He fits the system. But do we want to give up our core? Spurs Hans,

Do we want to give up our core? And what I mean by that is Devin Vessel. I know I kind of pick on him on the show every once in a while that he's inconsistent. But in these last stretches of the season, that glimpse is there, that twenty plus player that we need every night, the big smile, the big fun, the leader. The problem is is the NBA is a business. He has two years left on that four year contract. It'll be going into the third year of that contract next year. It's a big contract's

one hundred and forty million dollars contract. If he's not producing to where the Spurs think, could they go after a big name star like Lori Marknett. It's a high possibility. But Spurs fans, would you want to give up this core of Devin Vessel and kJ and two picks for somebody like Louri Marknett? Or as I flipped to the same page two days later, this same guy, same article, written the same way. I don't even think he changed anything in the article, with the exception of maybe the

stats from player to player. That's about ed great writing, by the way. The sarcasm if you can't tell. On a Wednesday, he releases an article saying now it's going to be Devin Booker from the Phoenix Suns. He also talked about a buck star named Janasaka Patumbo that would possibly come here to If you want to read more of the swill, why don't you check out Dean Simon. Dean Simon is a contributing journalist for These Sporting News. Dean is a graduate of stuckt At University, receiving a

bachelor's degree in communications. Congratulations Dean, big round applause for him. What amazing accolades me. I went two and a half years for communications ASUNI aswego, and I pretty much have a little bit better content than he does. But I'm just putting that out there. No hard feelings. I mean, you're getting paid, I'm not. I mean, it's Sweena and I. But when it comes to my San Antonio Spurs, don't knock him like that. Spurs fans, what would you do?

Would you give this up? Would you wait to see what we do in the draft? I honestly believe we can still build through the draft and free agency and keep our core. I really do. Keldon Johnson is showing that he needs to stay on this team. We need that spark plug off the bench. I've said this for two years. He's at spark Plug. He needs to stay. Whether he's given us ten points, twenty eight points, it doesn't matter. He's coming off the bench. I think you

could see him win six Man of the Year. I thought he would win it this year if we all stayed healthy. I think we jumped the gun a little bit and we saw Chris Paul come here, and then we saw Chris Paul just not be the Chris Paul that he wants to be. I think he came here to lead, put up a few stats, break a few records, and a lot of us really thought we would see

the Chris Paul from the Clippers form OKAC form. Then Webby got hurt and we're like, h he's going down to twenty four minutes a night, which he's averaging about twenty six minutes I believe a night. But what would you do, Spurs fans bringing somebody big in like that? Are you ready to win now? Kevin Durant, I don't think is an opportunity. He's thirty seven pushing forty. I know Lebron's forty. I know Chris Paul's forty. Durant keeps

himself an amazing in shape. You're probably looking at maybe, you know, sign a three year contract with him, maybe five year. But do you want to keep a cord together that could possibly win several championships or do you want to win right now? Really something to think about. But I'm tired of seeing a lot of these writers come out and talk about the Spurs like they know who they are. I'm a fan of this team of

over forty years. I defend you, the listener. You may not agree with me at times, but I defend you the listener, you the fan, because that's what we are. We're fans. We're lovers of the Spurs. That black and silver blood runs right through our veins. And you've got this guy that just uses black ink if that when he's writing an article. Makes me sick when I see stuff like that. Also makes me sick to see people

call somebody by the name of Lebron Jimes goat. He's the goat when it comes to individual's stats, absolutely, but he is not my goat when he's throwing temper tantrums. Did you see this latest video all over social media where there was a call and he literally jumped up and down like a damn child. I understand being passionate. I understand getting upset about a call. I mean, we see Jeremy Sohan throw a ball at player's nuts. We see it. We see it. You get upset on the floor.

It happens. Chris Paul gets underneath people's skin. We see Jiannis Akopatumbo say I want to fight outside after the game. It happens. But you're a representative in a face of this league for many, many years, and you are someone that is supposed to be a leader of the next generation of young talent coming into this league. And you're the one that's flopping, crying, whining, and now jumping up

and down like a damn baby. And this is coming off the heels of you wanting to fight Steven A. Smith because he told he told the truth about your son. He's garbage. He's garbage. Could Ronnie beat me? Absolutely? I'm almost fifty. Shut up, all right. I decided to be at home and take care of my kids. No, I'm joking. I'm kidding. I'm joking. Laker fan, some of y'all just, oh my god, did he go there? Listen, Lebron James is the epitome of I'm entitled. I'm entitled to this.

I'm entitled to that, I'm entitled to this. You think is five games away from this team just happened all of a sudden. No, he's dealing with drama. Drama with Steven A. Smith, drama with Diddy, drama with the league, drama with refs. This is a cooling off period, Laker fan. This is a cooling off period, and he needs to cool off every damn call up and down the floor he wants constantly. But being the of the league and a goat really doesn't give you the right to jump

up and down and be an idiot. A lot of people say, oh, it's easy for you to say when you're behind a microphone. Oh, I'll tell you. He cries at games. He cries at people who talk about him in the crowd. He's had people ejected from games because he doesn't like that they're making fun of him and heckling him. Then you look at somebody like Steven A. Smith who tells the truth. Bronni's not a good player. He averaged four points a game in college. He's there

because of Daddy. It's the equivalent of a billionaire, billion dollar company. Say I owned it and gave it to my kids, and my kids don't know about the company. But because Lebron is in titled, because he's Lebron James, and I can put a fake proverbial crown upon my head. He's entitled. While everybody cries about entitlement in twenty twenty five, take a look in the mirror at your goat Lebron James speaking of more entitlement women's basketball. I know it

gets a bad rap. Stop laughing. It's basketball. We do not doubt the talents of these young women. They're amazing, They're awesome. They work hard. Listen, I coach women and young ladies on my team, and there's some of the hardest workers on the floor. Some of them outwork the boys. Some of them are better than the boys. And I put my talents and my knowledge into them. So for you to sit here and possibly look at me and public say, oh, you rip women's basketball. No, no, no, no,

I don't, but I rip entitlement. You see, there is a young woman out there that believes she's entitled to as much money, fortune and fame as NBA players. A lot of them believe this. They believe that the women should be getting paid as much as the men, and this is going to be a story that goes on to the test of time. We've talked about on the show a couple times before, but women's sports don't make as much money because nobody watches the sports on TV.

Your ad revenue sucks, ass, I'm sorry, you don't make any money and ad revenues and commercials. If you were to make as much money as the NBA does with commercials per game, your women would be getting paid as much. End of story, and of story because has nothing to do about your talent, has nothing to do with the fact that you're out there on social media shaking your ass. Not naming any names, Angel Reeves, but I'm not in the name names. She makes more money on OnlyFans. I think,

Oh god, I hope she's not an only fans. I could be wrong. On Instagram and all her social media and her crap podcasts. Listen, it takes one to know one, all right, she makes more money doing that, complaining that she doesn't make enough money to even pay her rent. It's it's ridiculous. Then she complains about being Kitlin Clark is not the only store and the women's basketballs where it's that's because I'm here. Yeah, somebody looks like an

antelope trampling on ice. Yeah, someone that travels more than an agent, someone that missus shots on purpose just to pad stats. Well, they got aut rebound me did. I'm the one that can get them. Jesus Jesus entitlement. These days, there are women that paved the WNBA way before you, miss Reese, that deserved that money. Caitlin Clark brings in more commercial dollars, brings in more media dollars, brings in

more endorsement dollars. You would think that every woman in the WNBA would be applauding that, Hey, she does that, y'all make more money. There was a young man by the name of Michael Jordan that decided to take a white sneaker and turn it into a multi colored black and red sneaker that made millions for the league once the league came around. You see, the problem is everybody wants to be a transcender, but when there's a transcender already ahead of them, they become a hater. And that's

what's happening in women's basketball. Caitlin Clark is a transcender. No, it's not entitlement. The entitlement is only with people like Angel Reese and those who think they believe that they should be paid the same amount as men in the NBA, but their money is not stacked up because the media dollars are not there. End of story. I saw a video with her saying I'd really like to go in those closed doors and say that then guess what, then

we ain't gonna play. Do you think that scares them, because you know what, I guarantee you that they can go to another sport like arena football and put their money into arena football and make more money in arena football. Sponsorship dollars. MLS is becoming hotter in America. You are not the only ticket in town. You are the afterthought ticket, and you need to understand that. And how do you

make your product better? Play better, look better, score better, and I mean look better as a team, not physically looking better. Relax, ladies, But this day and age of entitlement across the board, from Lebron James to Angel Reese and more has really got to stop because it's killing our generation of kids. I coach them. The first thing I tell them is I will not have a diva on my team. If you're going to be a diva on this team, you will not get the same playing

opportunities as somebody else as. I don't care if they got the skills of Michael Jordan, but if they've got the attitude of Lebron James, you ain't gonna play. You'll play a little bit cool, but I'm not going to just put you in there so I can win. But the San Antonio Spurs take on the New York Knicks coming up here tonight in the frost Bank Center. Got a little bit of a stretch here for the Spurs. We need to get a couple of wins under our

belt before we play Golden State twice. Yeah, and we've got some other teams like the Celtics and the Calves and the crosshairs of the San Antonio Spurs. Get ready to root on the Spurs O tonight, Frost Banks Center, seven o'clock. New York Knickerbockers are in town. Let's get it. DV let's get it. Steph Castle, let's get it. Mamu, let's get it. Harrison Barnes, let's do it. Boys. Let's get out there and get a win for the Spurs tonight, get a win for the fans. But hey, guess what,

I'm gonna be sitting in front row Friday night. So just make sure you guys get a win there for us. That's all I ask, all right, But we'll see you on the flip side. We'll see you next Wednesday for another San Antonio Spurs Weekly podcast with a boy Katie, you remember no better, how good or bad the Spurs are plans. Let that black and silver blood run through your veins and go Spurs, Go,
