The San Antonio Spurs Put The World On Notice... · Kenny For Real

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is why we respect the NBA Cup in the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: beach some household. This is why we respect the NBA Cup.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: On the Kenney for Real YouTube channel. We just got
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: an absolute banger. Today is December thirteenth, twenty twenty five,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and everybody was watching a regular season game. We were
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: really getting that three years ago, four years ago, but
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: we got it today. Man, this is why I love
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the Cup now. The percentage. Y'all that don't like it,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I don't get the argument except for the courts of trash.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I agree we can do it out the courts. But
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: everything else about this is a win. The players care,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Keldon Johnson like Gill get a new Lama, y'all. If
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you know, you'll know. The players carried the night care.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: We just saw a game that felt like a game
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: seven real talk. Both coaches coached their ass off in
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: this one. The star players boom, the defense boom, the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: matchups boom. It was everything you could really really imagine.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And if you ever wanted a single performance to showcase
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: why many people me included, believe that win. Ben Yama
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: is gonna be the best player in the world sooner
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: rather than later. This is the game minus restriction plus
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: twenty one out plus minus is always kind of iffy,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: But in the game like this, I'm gonna use it
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: as a whatever plus twenty one and twenty minutes on
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a minis restriction against the greatest team in the league.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver, whatever, he's well, he's in Vegas. Deal, He's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: going back to his five star hotel in Vegas. He
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: gonna lay his head on that pillow and he gonna
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: smile his way to sleep. Because we just saw what
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: might be a legendary team, a team that only had
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: one loss on the season going into this Cup game.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Go against a team that maybe has a future goat
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: on it in the future. Goat beat the legendary team.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Talk to me, y'all. This is what Adam Silver was
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: hoping for. And my biggest criticism over the NBA Cup
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: semis and finals over the last couple of seasons that
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: we've had it is that once we got to Vegas,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: because it is a neutral site, the arena never popped.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: They care more about getting Gary Payton in his loud
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: ass jumpsuit on camera than getting real NBA fans in there.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: And I thought this was the first semis that we've
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: had of the NBA Cup where the crowd popped. I
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: don't I'm not a geography guy. Get I don't know
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: how close San Antonio is to Las Vegas, but it
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: was some Spurs fans in that month, and they was
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: loud and proud, and I do believe that the San
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs really really use a lot of their energy.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: This is a great game. We did our preview of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: this game yesterday on numbers on the board, and OKAC
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: has been such a dominant team, such an amazing team
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that I said, I don't think I'm ever picking against
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the OKC this season. The team that beats them has
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to beat them first, you know what I mean. They've
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: just been that good. I mean even in this game
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: when women Yamu was announced, the spread didn't change it all.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Like it was like okay See favored by nine. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: don't know the exact number was, but like, you have
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to show me that you could beat okay See. And
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: what the Spurs did put the world on notice. Man,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: put the world on notice. This was such a good game.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Like I said, coaches were coaching their ass off. There's
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: so many different points of just changing of the tides.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: This game started off fourteen to four. If I'm not mistaken,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and I hit the group chat like, hey man, this
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: maybe it. I hope y'all. I hope y'all ain't really
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: locking in to be sitting here for two and a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: half hours because it might be it. Okay, see has
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: been that good this season, and then something happened started
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that second quarter mister web banatas get out of his
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: seat and say I'm here and really just changed the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: overall feel of this game, and that is what superstars do.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: My favorite thing about what Winbin Yama is doing this
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: season is he's popping his collar, he's talking his trash,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and I didn't know if we were gonna get a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: full fledged Winby not. I won't use the word villain,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: but like a Winby. I can't call him he'll either
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: because everybody loves Winby, but him being vocally aggressive on
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the court, it's something I love. Even before when they
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: were doing the interviews when they were in Vegas, Shay
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: was asked about the seventy three win record. He said,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: he does and they do care about that. When Miyamas
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: asked about who's the best player in the world, he said,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: is that Jokic is the best offensive player, but the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: best player in the world might be Giannis or Shay
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: until I get to play. Whether you agree with it
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: or not, I love that he's He's saying that vocally right.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: And then we get to the court and to get
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: chess match between these two coaches, between these two teams,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out how do we stop the other
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: from doing his thing. We got to a point where
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Mark dayton All decided to go with a good old
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: put a wing on Wimby thing, something that we saw
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Jordan Attdu earlier in the season, and I think that
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: was a game win. We had like seven or eight
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: points or something like that, and Caruso was the guy.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And we saw Caruso in Game seven against the different
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Nuggets player, a really good defensive game against a bigger,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: stronger Nicole jokicch So these two dudes, a great defensive
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: player Alix Carusso and a great offensive player on Wimby
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: have this little match. And there was a time when
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: wimb beIN Yama got him an up fake and Caruso
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: like wrapped them up and wm Binyama gave a little
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you know, get off of me and a little yell
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: in his face. Come on, I need, we need. I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: think we he needs that. We need. If he's gonna
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: be the future face of this league, he's got to be.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: He's got to be one of those guys because a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: lot of the four and born players come over and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: they don't really pop. They collar too much. Yolk has
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: been the best player in the world for how long
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and he just don't really do that often. If women
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: gonna be in here, be like, no, I'm really I'm
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: really him, I'm really him. Give me that ball. Oh,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna dunk on you. Oh, I'm gonna get this block,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna yea. I like, it's just good. I
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: think it's just good overall for hoops. If we get
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: more people that's just willing to say I'm the best
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: or I will be the best, and I'm gonna showcase
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that on the on the court. It is a great,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: great game all around. And I think the thing that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: stood out the most for the San Antonio Spurs is
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: how they bottled up shape. Shae had twenty nine point
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you know, Shay gonna wake up at twenty five at least,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: so he got a little extra on the top of it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: The overall shooting was one for seven from three, which
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: is really bad for Shaye because at this point in time,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: he's like a forty four percent three point shooter. Specifically,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: when he's get to not just catch a shoot, but
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a pull up three point shot, he shot it poorly.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But the thing that I think makes shape one of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the things, as many things that make Shae special, one
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of the things that makes Shaye special is he is
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: a super high US this player that rarely turns the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: ball over, one of the lowest turnover rates of uses
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: rates ever in the history of this sport to not
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: get five turnovers, and I just look at that, it's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the most turnovers he's had in any game this NBA season.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: And not only was it just the five turnovers, there
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: were straight up possessions where he got balled up, he
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: got to the basket, but he just threw the shot
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: up on the rim and it wasn't even a good look,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: or it wasn't even a shot that hit the rim.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So that five turnovers may have been eight damn possessions,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: if you will, And I think that went a very
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: very long way. Because the recipe to beat Okac is
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: really hard. You gotta got a lot of days. Have
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to work in your favor, at least based on the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: twenty five games we had before this. You have to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: shoot better than them, which is what the Spurs did tonight,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: not not a lot better. Both teams are really breaking
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: out there. I mean, Harrison Barnes was fucking over eight
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and he's like the best cording shoot in the NBA.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Shot shoot better than them. Don't turn the ball over,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: which is something the Spurs did. But were they say
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: themselves they didn't allow the OKC thunder to turn those
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: turnovers two more points. They won the points off turnover
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: battle while having five less turnovers. Right, it was twenty
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: six to twenty five. That's one of the recipes. And women, Yama,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: it's the last recipe. I'm a star. Fuck what you doing?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You know? The last couple of minutes of this game.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I guess the last minute and some change ended up
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: taking thirty minutes. If there's anything I would change about
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the game is that. But I understand the foul up three,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: even though I don't like it from the perspective of
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a fan because it prevents potential game when it shots.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: If I was a coach and it was money on
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the line. Even if it's not money on the line,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: it could be for nothing. I could be on seventeen
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: looking for my first one. I'm fouling up three because
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you can see what happened. You can see a misfree
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: throw from the chet missed one. So it goes a
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: very long way to foul up three, even if it
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: does extend the game. And like it's just one of
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: them things. Stam Van Gunny, Michael Grady, and Dwayne Wade
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: did an amazing job in the broadcast. Other than Wade
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: having three six seven jokes in this broadcast alone, it
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: was a two hour game. Dwayne Wade did three six sevens. Stamn,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Gunny does an amazing job of breaking down thing and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: then Stem and Gunny, you know, puts something to perspective.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't really think about much late in this game
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: that there was. There was forty seven minutes play to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: basketball and some change and Stam and Gunny said the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Spurs just won the game right now. I'm like, what
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: what the hell are you talking about. He's just won
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a game now that actually they only know about one
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of the games. Well, where he was talking about is
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the one inbound play where women Yamu was the guy
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: guarding the inbound and it forced Mark dayton All to
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: use his last time out. If you didn't know, if
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: you can't challenge to play if you don't have timeouts.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: And there was two possessions later in this game, with
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: just a few seconds left where den Vsel the ball
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: was off his hands out of bounds, but Carusa got
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: called for a foul. If Mark dayton All has his
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: time out and his challenge, then that's probably overturned. But
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: because women Yama was there preventing Caruso from getting the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: ball in two possessions ago, there is no challenge right
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: so that that Vin Gunny does an amazing job. But
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: one word that Van Gundy used a good amount today
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and it's got me. He said it in the second
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: quarter of this game, the war, the C word, the forbidding,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: see word when it comes to talking about NBA teams contender.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: He mentioned the Spurs as a contender, and I couldn't
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: stop thinking about it. Candidly speaking, I never thought about
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the Spurs is contender right before tonight, and maybe I
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: won't think about it, but it's in the back of
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: my mind. It's something I'm thinking about for the foreseeable future,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: because what is the recipe for a contender just on
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a basic level, great defensive team, great offensive team, right,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you gotta be top ten offense, top ten defensively. Talking
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: about analytically, you have to have a star player, you
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: have to have good role players, you gotta have a
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: lot of different things, and you gotta have wins ultimately.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the just the very vague checklist
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that I just say, like, star player check. You got that.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Victor e Mayon, Okay, great defense, yeah, you got that
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: because of Victor and Minama. Good role players. You got that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: When Byama missed what twelve games, and they were nine
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and three in those games, Okay, you got that. Maybe
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: they are or maybe he drinking a kool ad because
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: they just beat a team that looked like they were
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: unbeatable for the last seventeen games. I don't know, but
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: again it was he said it multiple times, and I
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: couldn't help but to think about it a lot in
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: those multiple times. So I don't know where I sit
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: on it. Yes, yet, I gotta sleep on it. And
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: maybe y'all I gotta feel my podcast tomorrow morning. Maybe
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that's something I talk about a little bit more as
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I sleep on it and think about it a little
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: bit more. But when you have that three headed monster
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: at the guard, I'm gonna count Dellen Harper in there,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: even though you're so young. They just add a lot
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of value. One of the things I love about Stefoncastle's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: game right now is for his rookie season, the Fincastle
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: critics will say, all these points came in transition, semi transition,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and the half court. You can bottle him up because
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: he can't shoot, he can't do this, he can't do that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I think that he's taking a step. I think there's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: still a long way to go. Don't get me wrong.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: In his half court offense, I still think he got
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to protect the ball more. But I'm seeing him run
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: these picking rolls and I'm I'm messed to within it
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: more this year than I do did last year. I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: love a guard that can switch his gears in the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: half court, and that is something's to fodcasts being able
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to do. He did a three sixty layup today. I
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: think that was transition. Th so maybe not count to
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: my art today, but to have that, you know, and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to have a for sale who can hit four threes
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and some clutch ones and you know, so many different looks.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Luke Cornett truly is a championship level player, not just
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: because he did win a championship few years ago from
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the Celtics, but because he just is a low mistakes,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: big fella that plays really great drop coverage and we
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: haven't been able to see him really play with Winbinyamine
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: season here. I think Stavin Gunny said on the broadcast,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: this is the first game that their best players have
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: played together between the sale between Winby, between Fox and Harper,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that was the first game of the season they've all
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: played together. So that's that's that's good. You know, that's
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: a that's a good sign they were able to do
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: this and get this win. So I don't know who
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I'm picking to win the actual championship between them and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the Knicks, but I think this is going to be
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: one of the games that we think about Florida for
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, okay, see lost last year and the I
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: think they lost on the final last year right to
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks. So he got to Vegas a few
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the times. Will it matter? Will it not? In the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: grand scheme? I checked Twitter for a millisec Actually, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: made one tweet that said, what a game, and I'm
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: seeing victory last from people that said, yeah, I told y'all, OKAYC,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I really like that. And I don't want to go
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that far either, because it is a game, you know
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: what I mean. I don't think maybe people thought they
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: were going to eighty one to one. This is not
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a KLT fur q video. It wasn't never what they
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: was gonna lose. But I'm not I'm not saying that
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to discredit the Spurs by any means either. So I
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: think the Spurs. The Spurs took that game, you know
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: what I mean. There was times in this one where
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: it felt like all the momentum was in the Spurs' favor.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And again I hit the group chat and I'm like,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the Spurs playing such a great game. They're by one
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: right now. So we even got down to the nitty gritty
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and we were one possession away from the OKC Thunder
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: winning this game. And I do think that even if
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: OKAC won this game, I would make this video about
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the Spurs, even if that's not fair to okay see,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: maybe you thought that als Carusso got found on his
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: tip lay up on the JDub miss free throw. I
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't it's not it's not my call.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I don't really have a fuck about who actually won
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a game. I'm just happy that it ended up being
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a good one. So the Spurs put the word I
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: don't notice a little coming out party for San Antonio
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and ith damn here hear my overthinking it as well.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: The Spurs are one of those teams that my lighting
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: changed dramatically depending on how close I am to the camera.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Somebody explained that to me one of my camera experts.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: The Spurs one of the teams that are mocked to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the Spur to Yannis. Not by any other account, nobody
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: from the Spurs that we won't yanis. It's just a
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: matter of like women, y'all, man, Yan's wild. Be cool.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: They got extra draft capital, they got a really nice,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: intriguing young player. And I watch a game like this,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and I watched their previous games as well, and I
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: just think to myself, having Yannis is great, But maybe
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: it's not worth putting your foot on the gas just yet,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: because maybe you are the sea word right now. But
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the counter argument today is that if I'm the sea
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: word right now, imagine if I just added yanas we
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: just beat the we just beat Okay See in this
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: game right now, and what if we aint yanis because
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: in order to be a contender, not only you have
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: to beat Okay See, you have to beat them four
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: games out of seven. You gotta do that against them,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: against the Rockets, against the Nuggets, against the Lakers. The
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: list goes on. To be a contender, you gotta do
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: it four times. So that's what when I get held
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: up on so what a game? What a game? I
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: think it's my first recap of some time. I'm sorry
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: for that.
