00:00I guess that's the one they picked this morning.

00:05I don't like it.

00:06Why not?

00:07Between him and Bonte telling me he gave you a 10-8 round yesterday in the one o'clock

00:12hour when you went on about Steph and possible slippage, like what do I do with that?

00:17You got off to a good start, dude, but I'm not going to let it affect me because it's

00:21payday.

00:22You said it was that close?

00:23I had me a 10-5.

00:24Oh boy.

00:25Now that's what the punch counter had.

00:28Stop.

00:29What's up, baby?

00:30Warriors Rockets tonight.

00:31No Steph, no Dre, and Wiggins has an entanglement.

00:37What is it, Evans?

00:38What is it, Evans?

00:39An impingement.

00:40What is that?

00:41You don't know?

00:42I had an impingement once.

00:43It's when my two discs were pressing against the nerve.

00:44Oh, then you're being serious.

00:45Yeah.

00:46I don't know if it works itself out.

00:47I don't know.

00:48I don't know.

00:49I don't know.

00:50I don't know.

00:51I don't know.

00:52I don't know.

00:53I don't know.

00:54I don't know.

00:55I don't know.

00:56I don't know.

00:57I don't know.

00:59I don't know.

01:00I don't know if it works itself out or not.

01:01Yeah.

01:02No Steph and no...

01:03How do you stop the streak without those two?

01:05What streak?

01:06The losing streak.

01:07What do you mean?

01:08They've beaten the Rockets 14 straight games.

01:09I'm talking about the last five games, partner.

01:12Oh.

01:13Oh.

01:14Oh.

01:15Nobody cares about my life.

01:16They beat the Rockets.

01:17Not really.

01:18They beat the Rockets without Steph earlier this season.

01:20They blew a 30-point lead in overtime.

01:22They held on to win in overtime.

01:23See, it's all about...

01:24I mean, he looked at the game like, Houston's younger, faster Steph, and I'll be in tomorrow

01:29when Guru brings his dad to his first game of chase.

01:32If Norm gets to the facility and Steph's not playing...

01:35What about it?

01:36They'll be water.

01:37Well, the most exciting player will still be playing.

01:40Anthony Edwards tomorrow.

01:41Wow.

01:42Like, that's the one your dad probably wants to see.

01:45No, it's Curry.

01:46I'm going to call you Rambo.

01:47Jack Rambo.

01:48Early.

01:49What we got?

01:50Well, you know, the Warriors is one thing we got.

01:55So they're 12-8, they've lost five in a row.

01:59The season is 25% over.

02:01I'm out.

02:03Wow.

02:04Why?

02:05Then that's what I'm going to get on Warrior Fit.

02:08You can't be out yet.

02:10Come on now.

02:11You can't be out yet.

02:13I gotta tell you something.

02:14If you're telling me the next 25 is going to consist in this season, I can make parallels

02:18with the Niners just in regard to the injuries or the constant nags that these athletes are

02:23going through that are serious.

02:25And Stoney, if you're telling me early on this is going to be part of the future, you

02:30know, Steph in and out, and Draymond, I know they're waiting on the MRI results or whatnot.

02:36That's what I don't like, that it's rearing its head this early.

02:39Yeah, I don't like it either, but if you didn't prepare for this, then that's really on you,

02:48isn't it?

02:49Not you, I mean the Warriors.

02:51If you didn't prepare.

02:53If you're going to still have Steph and Draymond on the team and be as integral as they are,

03:02you had to prepare for the fact that they both may miss.

03:07I don't know.

03:08What's the number you put on it?

03:09What would be a healthy year for Steph Curry, and what would be a trouble year for Steph

03:14Curry?

03:15I'm just saying, because you said Goo, so they play 20 games, he's missed four.

03:19If we do that out over 82, he would only miss 12, get what?

03:23Yeah.

03:2416.

03:2516.

03:26I'll take that all day.

03:27That would be about 65 games.

03:28Dude, let's go.

03:29Would you take that right?

03:30See, this is the thing.

03:31I would take it right into Texas second.

03:33I know you would.

03:34And you know why you would take it?

03:35It's because you're worried he's going to play less.

03:38And I get it, and that's, you know, I've been, Evan and I were batting around some stuff

03:45yesterday about, you know, what are the Warriors going to do?

03:47What are the Warriors going to do?

03:49And one of the things that I can't stop thinking about, it's less about what the Warriors are

03:56going to do.

03:58What's Steph thinking right now?

04:00Oh, man.

04:01What is Steph Curry thinking right now?

04:03That's a bar.

04:04Let's just talk about it.

04:05He's got two and a half more years left on his deal.

04:09They're 12-8.

04:11And let's just say they're headed toward another season where they win 42-44, 46-48.

04:20And last year that wasn't enough because you're in the Western Conference.

04:24It feels like that's not good enough.

04:27For example, the Warriors right now are six.

04:30Would you take it right now, right now, that they're the sixth seed at the end of the year?

04:36And that would mean no cockamamie play-in.

04:39I would take it.

04:40Is that enough, though?

04:41Not, not...

04:42Two things.

04:43Is it enough for the fans?

04:45And is it enough for Steph?

04:47Well, it's two-fold to me because now if he is going to be dealing with these issues,

04:52but you said, OK, I'm there 65 games, how mad can he really be about what's going on?

04:58Because I'm trying to...

04:59Like, I feel like he's closer to the summer Steph when he was in Vegas at the Summer League

05:05when he said, you know, basically, I'm paraphrasing.

05:08He's monitoring what's going on with this team.

05:10But if he can't help as much, how much does he take a step back, like, how mad can you

05:16be when your absence is a big part of us being hopefully six?

05:21I'd take six in a second after no playoffs.

05:24Yeah, I would too.

05:26I would too right now, but it's only because I'm starting to get worried about Steph and

05:32Draymond and this team.

05:34And the old, and we've kind of been in it the last couple of years, is how can you be

05:42a top four or five seed if those guys are going to miss a quarter of the season?

05:50You know what I mean?

05:52That's the scary part.

05:53I feel like we're seeing with them, it's going to be a bear.

05:58Now it's a gorilla.

06:00Exactly.

06:02So what do you do?

06:04You just keep playing it out.

06:06And now you've got your two stars, Draymond and Steph, both saying, you know, they're

06:11both banged up and they both use the term, we got to try to stay ahead of this.

06:16To me, when I hear we ought to try to stay ahead of this, it means that they're going

06:21to have to load manage over the course of the year.

06:24That would be the best case scenario without getting a big injury.

06:29But it sounds like that would only mean 60 to 65 games, even if they're relatively healthy

06:35for the whole year.

06:36And I don't feel like they're deep enough to salvage that without those two guys.

06:40I feel like they're deep enough, but they're not good enough without those guys.

06:45Well no, they'll still be able to put nine guys out there who are quality guys.

06:51How effective is that going to be?

06:53And they're 3-0 without Steph.

06:55That was early, right?

06:56I feel like they lost the game with him recently.

06:59I don't know, Stoney.

07:00I'm not trying to be negative, Nancy.

07:02If I'm Mike Dunleavy, I'm on the phone.

07:05Or I'm in the lab trying to concoct not an escape plan.

07:09This is no shaded who's on the roster.

07:11But Stoney, if you're really all in, you got to find some improvement.

07:17And right now, I just don't feel like that's on the squad right now, especially not even

07:22knowing Draymond's, what's going on with him moving forward.

07:26Yesterday, we were talking about Steph, and I said one of the things I wasn't crazy about

07:31was Mike Dunleavy saying, it's about Steph's window.

07:37And the thing I didn't like most about that was it felt like you announced to everybody

07:43kind of what you were doing.

07:46But the more I think about what the Warriors are trying to do, I don't know that it's ever

07:51been done before.

07:53And that is build around a 36-year-old guard.

07:57And I'm just going back over the greatest guards in NBA history.

08:02And whether it's Steve Nash or Isaiah Thomas or Allen Iverson, they just, at 36 years old,

08:14he's embarking on something that they were never asked to do, which was be the best player

08:19on their team at that age.
