00:00But we're not gonna skip ahead, okay. All right. Well, it's here today. Tonight is a legacy game for the Warriors

00:08A little strong, but you said it's the game of the year. Yeah, no doubt if some everybody expects him to lose

00:15Put two back-to-back and one being against OKC. I like it. I like it

00:20I just I'm looking at the standings or one back

00:22I'm saying we went back to a nation one back a team one back for the for the right to play two road games to

00:29Get into the playoffs, but Steph's coming back. Let's do it. Let's go get him in a great win

00:33Stanley that was that got scary against, Utah last night. They cut it to one

00:39It's the NBA the game

00:42a

00:43Couple things. Yeah, they win 114 103 cover Golden State now six and three

00:52Without curry

00:5420 23 and 23 overall and

00:58I

01:01Think it's becoming clear

01:04Hey

01:05They got us just they got to figure out a way to keep these young guys playing a little bit

01:09I'm with you. They have to that's the fear of mine and and I'm saying it's strong

01:13I'm starting like who's gonna be impacted most when coming in Dre come back. I don't want it to be post

01:19I don't want it to be Santos

01:21Pods is playing his ass off. What 45% from deep the three games that he's been back 32 minutes last night

01:28Just gives him energy, but I'm with you

01:30It'll be curious to see and then also are they gonna gut themselves Donnie and I don't want to say a heart transplant

01:36But that's what it would be if you were to go make a move if you went big-game hunting in regard to Jimmy Butler

01:42so I

01:43Gave an analogy to Evan today. All right, and it didn't really go over well

01:49So I'll run it by you because I'm the analogy King. Let's see, you know, the Warriors remind me of a little bit of

01:56the 49ers defense

02:00Wow, all right now say interest not bear with me now, you know how the defense over the last year

02:06Oh, they just they stay in a basic. They they stay in a basic pack. Why not?

02:10I can honestly say I'm sort of built for this not a well, it's not a lot of

02:15exotic packages for the Niners, there's not a lot of

02:19deception on defense

02:22that's what the young guys give the Warriors like I feel like if if we're gonna play Steph and

02:28Draymond and Wiggins and Looney like you have to play

02:34Podjemski and Santos

02:36Because you don't have enough energy without those guys. You just don't you need those two guys

02:42Every game to

02:45At least have an opportunity to give this team a spark of energy. Is that an indictment on?

02:51I'm just asking coaching any players

02:55Because Mike D and Joe Lakeup assembled this team and I don't think we should have to I don't like you saying that

03:01It's all right. It is right when you have when you have a team like it's

03:07I look at it as kind of have a low-energy team and that bothers Steph Curry. Why though Steph Curry's getting old

03:13Yeah, Draymond Green is older, but he's been out. Let's get a shrewder's Donnie when he's in

03:19He what a good Draymond Green is as ferocious as they come but he's not far and in between the bottom line is when it's

03:26Draymond and Steph they they don't I got you don't provide the energy that they used to and then so you're saying

03:34Also Wiggins tends to flow

03:37Schroeder is more of a one-on-one guy like they need an influx of

03:44I'm not a wild card. I'm not like with a guy like pods

03:50I'm sorry

03:52Last night you can kind of see why no doubt Kerr likes him and why at his best he can help this team

03:58He looks like pods of last year's Donnie. Let's give them that these last few games. It is what it is

04:03You are right with that assessment. I just you know, I think the only way this team's gonna reach its potential as

04:11Is is they've got it. They've got it

04:14They've got to work these guys in consistently and it doesn't mean they're gonna play well every night

04:20But I think they got to have the opportunity every night to play

04:23Well, if they're not playing well, then you make that decision

04:26But the reality is like they're not they're not good enough

04:31To win without being gritty and

04:35Hustling and making all the ball. No, right? No, and you know, that's why I'm up on pods again

04:41Like it's Donnie. I said you'll be down on him tomorrow. No, it's not even about what he's doing

04:45It's about the scorecard of I'm seeing that energy and it's rubbing off on other guys

04:52Like they didn't have that component and it was apparent to me like dude

04:56This doesn't even where's the effort not saying anybody's not trying

05:00But it doesn't look like it and pods gives you that study

05:03I believe yesterday was his last game not starting who pods buddy healed

05:08I'm not even mad at you that you can't hit a shot

05:10But well, you're gonna tell me Stony buddy is who he is, right?

05:14But man, I know curse giving them every opportunity under the Sun and I don't feel like he's seizing it. Yeah, I don't

05:22Pods coming off the bench doesn't bother me. Yeah 32 minutes last night, but and this is the other thing I said and

05:30Tell me how you feel about this warrior fans. I

05:35said

05:37They

05:38Okay, give it to me. I'm out. You can't just put Draymond back in the starting lineup

05:43Can you if he's gonna miss tonight and then Saturday and then we'll see but what are your reasonings behind?

05:50Because why do you say that because it's time. Mm-hmm. It's time for a change

05:58Like they need to they need to keep things fresh like I I

06:03There's some listen. I'm not saying they're better without curry or they're better without Draymond

06:08But there is it there's a there's something's going on different Wow, man where when Steph doesn't play

06:15Everybody knows they got it. They got it. I

06:18don't know come together and win a game and everybody's more responsible when Steph plays they lean on him too much and

06:26There's I think there is a little bit of a freedom that they all play with when Steph's not there

06:31But as it relates to Draymond

06:33Stonium, I just I'm not starting him. I'm bringing him off the bench. Can we admit is this too strong for you?

06:39too early in the morning a

06:43Forgot the drink what's the drink in the morning when you hungover bloody man

06:47Yeah, but is it the Bloody Mary radio take here doesn't the offense run different when he's not out there

06:52The ball moves man, and the guy is not one guy just looking for Steph

06:57Well, and the other thing is sorry is some of the guys who've been playing make more shots than him. Yes, so and

07:04And you know to me part of the bigger picture here with the Warriors give it to one way or the other is

07:10The the thing they got to work on I think not work on but the thing that I would I would

07:16Really spend a lot of the second half of the season doing if you don't make a move is

07:21You've got to start giving you got to start taking away

07:26More of Steph and Draymond's responsibility on this team. I love how do you do that? Well you have minutes?

07:32Well, we're not talking about Steph. We're talking about Dre, man

07:36Yeah, I didn't do anything 30s got to be out there for 30

07:39But I'm just I'm just saying even if you if Steph's playing 30

07:43You can't look at him as a 30-point scorer anymore like if he gets you 30 great

07:48But you have to start moving forward as though I think like he's a 20 point per game score

07:54because

07:55They've got that they've got to maximize him as much as possible

08:01Without overusing him and we're trying to or asking him to do too much. Has there been any benefit?

08:08I'm asking you from any player or just team wide of

08:12Kaminga being gone who like have you has anybody any one player set themselves apart since Kaminga has been out I

08:21Was thinking that coming in and I mean a baffled now

08:24I mean, I can't wait for him to get back, but I'm looking like who you know, and maybe it's Quinton post

08:29But you know your boys not a five so coming that doesn't affect post. I think it's more

08:36It's gonna be moody

08:38Like he's playing moody at the four and they've got two fours that are hurt that are hurt right now

08:43so

08:44You know to me it it's probably gonna be moody who feels the pain man

08:50But again, like eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seven zeroes the number

08:55we'll get into some some of the news in terms of what we're hearing about trades and who's

09:00who's on the table and who's not on the table, but I

09:04I just I look at this team and there's just no other answer than to to

09:10Let these young guys

09:12Continue to grow and the more I think about it when I was asking yesterday man

09:16How'd they go 27 and 12 in the second half of last year?

09:20It was in large part because of the younger players and right now 45 46 games into the year

09:27This team needs a little boost

09:29So what the young guys?

09:30But the young guys provide the energy that they've got to play with uncle loonies put this to you real quick study

09:36He can understand coming over Dre, but not but not gee Santos. What are we doing?

09:41What do you mean, you know when you talk about lessening maybe Dre's role or whatnot?

09:46Like let coming to be the reason Dre is not but not said not you know guys like Santos. Well, I

09:53Yeah, I'm I don't care I just don't

09:57I just don't want to go back to

09:59Ramon at the floor loony at the five

10:02Hurry at one, you know, I just I did here Sam. This is our best five Stiney. Is it?

10:09Is it their best five if Draymond's on the floor and they have another nine score? All right
