00:00It's Kamiga. He's stripped by Murray. Murray with a beautiful steal.

00:03Here's Murray coming the other way. Nobody stops him. Plows into Looney. Shot no good.

00:07It's a blocking foul on Looney. And I think the Warriors might challenge that.

00:12No, it didn't look like a good call. Oh.

00:15Now, back to Stiney and Gurum on 95-7, the game.

00:20Oh, they challenged. Oh, boy, yeah.

00:22And they lost the challenge. Yeah, Jay Kidd like, he can't win it.

00:26I was watching the NBC Sports Bay Area broadcast.

00:29Bonte, Mully. This was during the game.

00:34They do pre and post, and Bob Fitzgerald and Kalen Azebuki do the games,

00:38and both of those guys were convinced that that call would be overturned.

00:42And when I saw it, my first thing is, well, he puts his left hand kind of on his hip.

00:48I don't know that you can overturn that. I didn't think he was getting overturned.

00:52And then they overturned the Jokic. That first was a charge on Jokic with Kamiga,

00:58but they changed it to a block, and it ended up being a three-point play. That hurt him.

01:02But how good is he? Just before you go to it, Jokic is the best player in the league right now.

01:07He's good. He's a good player. He's a good player. No doubt about it.

01:12Thanks.

01:12Matchup nightmare. Good call there with Jokic.

01:16No, he's incredible.

01:18He's incredible.

01:19I can't argue if somebody says he's the best player in the game.

01:22If he's not the best, he's certainly one of the top two or three.

01:26Steve Kerr was livid last night after the game.

01:29He'll be on today with a woman.

01:30That's right. Yes, sir.

01:33Okay, so Brandon Pajemski last night, he played 25 minutes. He had 13 points,

01:40six for 11 from the field. He missed all three of his threes.

01:44Four rebounds, four assists, a couple steals, a couple turnovers.

01:48And only two turnovers.

01:51Got taken out of the game with about five minutes left, and they

01:54pretty much ended the game with Kuminga.

01:58Looney played some, Wiggins, Curry, Kyle Anderson was in a little bit,

02:02Buddy Heald, and Gary Payton played in the last five or six minutes.

02:06Pajemski did not.

02:08But listen to what Steve Kerr said about Pajemski.

02:10All right.

02:11Because I'm not sure that I can ever remember him

02:16ripping into a player like this.

02:17Take a listen.

02:18So Pod's a hell of a player, but he needs to, and I've told him this,

02:24he needs to be a smart player.

02:27He's one of our guys who's capable of making really good decisions.

02:30He had a lob when we were up 12 in the late second quarter that was frankly insane.

02:37It's a five on four, and you just keep hitting singles, throw the ball to the open guy.

02:42He had the same play last week against Brooklyn,

02:44where he tried to throw a lob over his shoulder.

02:46He cannot be that guy.

02:49And he can't foul jump shooters.

02:51So I love Brandon.

02:52He's a hell of a player.

02:53He's got a hell of a future ahead of him.

02:56But I hope he watches this clip right now of me talking because he needs to hear it.

03:00He's got to be a smart, tough, great decision maker,

03:04and he's very capable of it, but that's his next step.

03:07We'll see.

03:08I mean, wow.

03:09It's a wow for me, partner.

03:14That's just banging the table.

03:16He was banging the table.

03:18He was making another example from a game last week.

03:22Yeah.

03:23And I remember that play.

03:24But what if I were to tell Kerr, you guys created Frankenstein and pods is trying.

03:30I text the vine him and coming off to great starts.

03:33But the fouls study, there was a possession where pods curry had the ball and pods had

03:38his hands up like swinging back break.

03:41And I'm like, man.

03:42So this is not about a player's head getting too big.

03:46But you created this.

03:47You told pods to to let it fly in the offseason.

03:51So I don't know what to make of that sound.

03:54But I will say I've never heard that vitriol towards Moody nor Jonathan Kaminga.

04:00And I can't wait to see how pods is going to respond.

04:03But man, Stani, that was some he was seething.

04:07Here's how he responded.

04:09Now, he was just like, if you didn't follow him, let me know if you did.

04:13Let me know that as well.

04:15But it was more so he was just kind of getting on me to do my job, know what I'm supposed

04:18to be doing out there.

04:20And he's like, if you can't do your job, I'll pull you out.

04:22And I think I followed it up with a floater, a drive kick, swing the wigs for a wing three

04:28and then a pull up jump shot.

04:29And so he just got got on me a little bit, which I'm all for.

04:33I'm trying to get better.

04:35He knows he can get on me and I'm not going to respond emotionally.

04:38And I'm just going to go out there and hoop.

04:40And, you know, amidst amidst the bad things that, you know, are glaring because we lost,

04:46I think me and the guys, we did we did a lot of great things tonight.

04:50I think Moses was great.

04:51GP was great.

04:53And so we're going to need that, especially, you know, playing the same team twice, two

04:57times.

04:59He's talking about Minnesota coming up.

05:00They play Minnesota Friday and then Minnesota again Sunday.

05:03Well, Houston Thursday and then many.

05:05Oh, yeah, right, right, right.

05:06That's right.

05:06You go on Thursday.

05:08I'm taking Norm Friday.

05:09First time they chase against me.

05:11Thursday, I think they're on the road, aren't they?

05:13No, I thought Houston game is here.

05:14Oh, so they got back to back home game.

05:16Yeah.

05:16Oh, so they got three games at home.

05:18Yeah, I'll probably go to.

05:20Well, Friday will be.

05:21Yeah.

05:22What?

05:23We can make go together.

05:24Yeah, we'll see.

05:25Yeah, we'll see.

05:27I'm done.

05:28Maybe.

05:28Yeah.

05:29Maybe I'll go Sunday.

05:30Maybe I'll go both.

05:31Well, let's just stop here on pods.

05:33All right.

05:34I don't think he's in there for his scoring.

05:38I think he's in there to play make.

05:41And again, for assist, that could be skewed, right?

05:44Because you could make the greatest pass and guys missed a shot.

05:48But I'm wondering if he is if he looks at it.

05:51I'm out here to score goo as opposed to get others involved.

05:55And again, when I say how he responded, he said everything perfect.

06:00But I'm just talking about his game, Stani.

06:02I don't know what to make of this.

06:04And I'm I'm looking at this roster and now I'm backed up.

06:07You can play the truck sound of me backing it up.

06:11The thing that they need, they don't have, which is which is a number two score to get

06:15buckets in money time.

06:18I'm tired of watching this.

06:19You you got to have somebody outside of step.

06:22Steph, I love you.

06:23But the turnovers, you're the leader.

06:26They can't come from you.

06:27Maybe in the past we could get past it.

06:30But Stani, this they had 36 assists yesterday.

06:33The ball was popping.

06:35They made their free throws.

06:37They out rebounded Denver by 10.

06:39You're up six.

06:41And if you're going to make noise and be a factor in the beast, that is a Western conference.

06:45You got to close.

06:46And that wasn't Denver's a game.

06:48I'm sorry.

06:49As great as Jokic was, Stani, there was some turnovers, bad passes.

06:54Murray was invisible to a certain extent.

06:56Like that's the game you got to have.

06:58And I'm declaring this and slow me down.

07:02If this is who the Warriors are and this is what you have.

07:05Jonathan Jonathan Kaminka is playing 30 nights, 30 nights, 30 minutes a night for me.

07:12And it could be that that's just what it is.

07:15And for him to take that next step, that's how much pie he needs for us to find out if

07:21the pie is good.

07:22And I like how I was tasting.

07:24There's some.

07:26But Stani, more so than not, he is one.

07:28He's one of your most gifted players.

07:32I got to see it through.

07:33OK, well, you're going to lose a lot of games.

07:35And I know I know people are going to call me on this because of that.

07:39I know people are going to get mad at that.

07:41But last night, he didn't lose you the game.

07:44I mean, there was a couple of he was trying to take Jokic.

07:48What are you doing?

07:49Then I believe the games.

07:52I believe that the last five minutes of a game are the most important.

07:55No doubt about.

07:56OK, well, then if you're going to play Jonathan Kaminka, you better be prepared to see highs

08:02and lows.

08:03And last night he didn't make any plays down the stretch.

08:06He had a shot blocked from the back by Jamal Murray.

08:09He had another shot blocked by Jokic.

08:12I'm not blaming Jonathan Kaminka.

08:14And I'll meet I'll meet Jonathan Kaminka fans and warrior fans halfway by saying this.

08:20You know what?

08:21He hasn't played a lot in terms of his career.

08:26And if you if you want to play the well, if they would have played him more for the first

08:31couple of years, he'd be fully he'll be he'd be more advanced now.

08:34I'm not even going to disagree with that.

08:36But what I am going to say is, if if now you're going to decide that Jonathan Kaminka is going

08:41to be in your closing line, closing lineup, then you're you're not going to be a great

08:47finishing team.

08:50Unless you.

08:53You run specific plays.

08:55And that's where I'm at.

08:56Like, and I, Stani, that's what let me ask you about.

08:58What's the play you run with Jonathan?

09:00I give him the ball at the top of the key and do what and have him try to do so.

09:04Go right.

09:05And then he'll get and then they'll they'll help.

09:08They'll help on him.

09:10Kick out.

09:10Well, I don't think he does that.

09:12Well, I really don't, Stani.

09:14And I'm not giving him a minus because there's something to you're more right than wrong.

09:20But how about let's work on that?

09:22If pods and movies, that's fine.

09:25We can work on that.

09:26Everybody's going to lose a lot of games.

09:28Then while we work on that, that's what I think.

09:36I mean, I'm just like I'm not blaming coming.

09:41I'm not blaming Moody and I'm not even blaming pods.

09:44But if you're going to play guys that young against the Denver Nuggets team, I mean, they

09:49were just like a machine the last four minutes, Denver.
