00:00out your clothes, you do a little smoothie,
00:03make yourself some breakfast,
00:04you know what, I'm gonna go downstairs,
00:05move the car, come right back.
00:07Yeah, that time is gone once you have a kid.
00:09That's what I was trying to explain to him.
00:10Or you get engaged or have a baby, whatever it is.
00:13Yeah, none of those times, you're scrambling.
00:14I'm so jealous of him.
00:15Yeah, I'm jealous too, I'm kinda jealous too.
00:17So, all right, post him the JK thing you posted.
00:20Oh, gosh, you guys are talking JK?
00:22Oh, yes.
00:23I thought you were gonna talk about
00:23you screaming in the middle of the block.
00:25Grady's like, who the hell is that screaming?
00:27And it was you in the morning.
00:28Well, the Giants got him fired up.
00:29You got my song, you got my Young Jeezy?
00:31What are you doing back there, Carter?
00:33Young Jeezy, you're a Young Jeezy fan?
00:34Well, no, I said that there's certain songs
00:36that I hear that just get me so pumped.
00:38And My Hood by Young Jeezy always gets me fired up.
00:41That or I'm the T-R-A-P-S-T-R.
00:45So, you don't know one day this guy said,
00:47we should do a video, Bonte,
00:48we should post up at Harbor Road and do a video.
00:50I was like, yeah, we probably shouldn't do that.
00:52Saski, he wants to, you know.
00:54What, Hood to Hood, part seven, you and me.
00:57I never got past part one.
01:00What was it, United Ghettoes?
01:01Who was the yuck mouth on?
01:02Yeah, I don't know, man.
01:03It was off the chain, dude.
01:05Hood to Hood.
01:06But JK, you know, this is what happens with Jonathan Kamika.
01:09He's either the greatest thing that's ever happened
01:11or the worst player of all time.
01:13Oh my God.
01:13And it's like, no, they're going to need him.
01:15Dude, I kind of feel bad for the kid.
01:21I could tell he's pressing.
01:22Just knowing JK, I could tell he's pressing a little bit.
01:25Now, he scored 15 the other night in Miami.
01:27It didn't matter because the starter scored 10 points
01:28in the first half.
01:30And people go straight to Jonathan Kamika,
01:32straight to JK, starter scored 38 points in Miami.
01:36JK, man, since he's come back, he's ruined the vibe.
01:39What?
01:39Draymond got bodied in that game.
01:41They blew out Sacramento when he came back.
01:44He had a solid game.
01:45He was great.
01:46He was great.
01:47He did.
01:48The New York Nixels, a clunky game, 97-94.
01:51Cat had his way.
01:53And OG.
01:53Nobody really had a great game outside of OG and Cat.
01:57He had some moments there with Jimmy Butler in that game,
01:59but the rhetoric got Jonathan Kamika,
02:01it's like, oh, dear God.
02:03He's the seventh, sixth, seventh guy right now on the team.
02:06All right?
02:07And we're hyper-focused on him.
02:08Let's hyper-focus on the starters.
02:09Let's hyper-focus on the fact that if he throws sides
02:12on Jimmy Butler, something I pointed to you, Shaski,
02:14back in the Orlando game, Steph scores his 56.
02:17People forget they were down 17 in that basketball game.
02:1917.
02:20And what Orlando did in that game,
02:21if you look at Jimmy Bach's score, he wasn't as effective.
02:24Now, he missed the next night against Philadelphia
02:26due to the back spazzles,
02:27but they threw Jonathan Isaac and Paulo Bencarron on him.
02:29The book is out.
02:30Throw some sides on Jimmy.
02:32He's still gonna get his money,
02:34but you're gonna keep him from going to the free throw line
02:36and that compromises spacing even more.
02:39Now, of course, you don't have Steph Curry
02:40the last two nights, but, I mean, Draymond Green, DPOI,
02:45bam, he got loose.
02:47And now, Draymond's not guarding him the entire night,
02:49but OG got loose.
02:50Aaron Gorton got loose.
02:52Okongu, accommodate, had the game of his life
02:56down to Atlanta.
02:57Cat, Scotty Barnes, Toronto offscored the Warriors
03:0058 to 30 in the paint.
03:0258 to 30.
03:03So, they've gotta show up, and that starts with the starters,
03:06the big money players.
03:07And going back to the beginning of the Miami game,
03:09I just thought that the way that they matched up,
03:11they put, I believe Ware was on Draymond,
03:14and then Bam was on Jimmy to start,
03:16and then they flip-flopped it.
03:18They basically treated GP2, Jimmy, and Draymond
03:20as the three non-shooters.
03:22And they said, we're gonna pack the paint,
03:23and we're gonna put our feet in the paint,
03:25and we're gonna deny you any access into the lane,
03:27and we're gonna force you into passing the ball
03:30on the perimeter and settling for a crummy shot.
03:32And it worked out brilliantly.
03:34And that's why they have gotta make some adjustments.
03:36And I've told him, we can talk about John DiCominga
03:39and playing through mistakes.
03:41Quinn Post is a guy I think you just need to put
03:43both feet in and say we are committed
03:45through the defensive liabilities to play him
03:48because he brings stuff offensively that, right now,
03:51we need to shore up one side of the ball.
03:53And I think offensively, they need shooting bad.
03:56They do, but Grandy knows this.
03:58Denver came out in that game.
04:00They were up 15.
04:01Oh, they attacked him.
04:02They attacked him relentlessly.
04:03And so Steve Kerr's the type of coach
04:05that you're getting picked on defensively,
04:07and you continue to get hunted,
04:09especially as a young player.
04:11If you're not making shots, you're not gonna play.
04:13He played like eight minutes in that game.
04:15You know, so that's.
04:16Yeah, but you gotta go back to him to try it again.
04:17I think that's where I get frustrated.
04:20Because like, great example, and I brought him up.
04:22And you don't have a point guard,
04:24but Podziemski was awful in the first half.
04:25They're all words.
04:26But they go back to him in the second half
04:28because they don't have many other options.
04:30Steph is out, so it's gonna be a couple points.
04:30They don't have a choice, especially without Steph.
04:32Well, no, you do.
04:33Pat Spencer, you could play for a couple of minutes.
04:35Well, not, well, come on, Shafi.
04:37I like Pat Spencer, but come on.
04:39You got GP2 out there.
04:40He tore the ligament in his thumb.
04:41You're not going to Pat Spencer in a game.
04:43For a minute?
04:44You can't give him a look?
04:44You can't give him a look.
04:45They gave Ty Jerome months,
04:47and now we find out he's an actual NBA player.
04:49The league could go from 15 to 20 in a heartbeat here, man.
04:52You can't go Pat Spencer.
04:53You're like, Pat Spencer, I like Pat Spencer.
04:55All I'm saying is, look,
04:56you gotta try something in these games.
04:58You gotta try anything.
04:59Like, I'm dead serious.
05:00And because you're limited,
05:01because you're roster,
05:02like, you gotta pull the lever on something.
05:05Now you're down GP2.
05:06Yep, he's playing well.
05:07Yeah, torn a ligament in his left thumb,
05:10out indefinitely, might miss the whole regular season.
05:12The rest of the regular season, only 10 games left.
05:14He'll be reevaluated next week.
05:15We'll find out.
05:16You're down to the seventh seed currently
05:18because the Clippers won in New York
05:19versus the Knicks the other night.
05:21They're playing again today.
05:23You need them to lose,
05:24and you need to win in order to jump them
05:26in the standings and get back to the sixth seed.
05:28It's suddenly looking a little more dire, Vontae,
05:31but you didn't have Steph last two games.
05:33He's obviously still a huge, huge, huge factor,
05:37but you gotta get up back up to the sixth seed,
05:39and now you got a couple of things working against you.
05:41I don't know if that's gonna be possible.
05:43I don't know if that's gonna be possible.
05:44You look at the next 10 games for the Clippers.
05:46I was just reading the team's off.
05:47So sad.
05:47Brooklyn, all right?
05:49That's a win for the Clippers.
05:51That's tonight.
05:52They're not trying to win that game.
05:53Please, Brooklyn, do something.
05:55Well, they go to Cleveland on Sunday.
05:57Yeah, last time I relied on Cleveland,
05:59they ended up having their biggest loss streak of the year.
06:01Well, they got blown out in LA,
06:03and the Clippers played really okay.
06:04Seeing the Clippers last Sunday was really good.
06:07Then they go to Orlando, New Orleans.
06:09This is at home.
06:09New Orleans, Dallas, Dallas on the back-to-back,
06:12at home at the Intuit Dome.
06:13San Antonio, not trying to win a game.
06:15Houston at home.
06:16Then they go to Sacramento and go to Satan.
06:17Sacramento may be out of it by then.
06:20Now, the Warriors' next 10 games,
06:21you look at it and you do the math.
06:23It may come down to the last game of the regular season,
06:26and the Warriors haven't beat the Clippers all season.
06:27But obviously, tonight, New Orleans and San Antonio,
06:30you play Memphis or the Lakers,
06:31and you're in the road trip.
06:33Usually, you're in the road trip,
06:34you come back home, get the day off.
06:35No, you gotta unpack and get ready
06:37for the Denver Nuggets the next night.
06:38After playing the Lakers in LA,
06:40they're in the road trip.
06:41Then you play Houston.
06:43They got that Phoenix.
06:45For whatever reason, Phoenix gives them the issues,
06:47even though Phoenix is a mess.
06:48You saw him the other night.
06:49He gets Boston get blown out,
06:50and he gets San Antonio at Portland,
06:52and you get the Clippers.
06:53So-
06:54I don't know if you know this,
06:54and this is why I call him Binocular Spontane,
06:56because he's always staring at the calendar.
06:57Hey, I'm always, you got to, right?
06:59Grady, this is what the pros do.
07:00Yeah, you got it.
07:00You're looking ahead to the schedule.
07:02The 16's gonna be hard to attain
07:04for the go-to-state Warriors,
07:05is basically what I'm saying.
07:06You have to be ahead of schedules.
07:06Which makes all of these losses so much more frustrating,
07:10because they had an opportunity to gain some ground.
07:12Well, it was disappointing.
07:14They talked about having Jimmy's back in Miami,
07:17and-
07:19we got to do this for Jimmy.
07:21Jimmy was unmoved by the emotions or whatnot.
07:23Obviously, the video tribute got to him.
07:25They came out there and just got dogged.
07:27I mean, again, the starters scored 10 points,
07:29and people want to call the lines
07:30and talk about Jonathan Kaminga?
07:32The bench helped.
07:33If it wasn't for Jonathan Kaminga and Guy Santos,
07:36and who else, Quentin Post, coming off the bench,
07:38it would have been down 30 in the second quarter.
07:41It would have been down 30.
07:42Even Buddy Heald.
07:43Buddy Heald has some money.
07:44Buddy's trying really hard on defense.
07:46He always tries.
07:46Buddy's fine.
07:47He tries hard.
07:49He's going to be on.
07:50He's going to be off.
07:51That's who Buddy is.
07:51But he's fine.
07:52He's your seventh or eighth guy.
07:53What about the starters?
07:55Moses Moody, 0 for 9 from 3.
07:56Draymond Green again.
07:58DPOI, these last two games,
08:00Atlanta and Miami has cooked.
08:02Cooked!
08:03I love how he-
08:04So, so, so, seriously.
08:05I don't want to hear about Jonathan Kaminga no more.
08:08Like, I'm so sick of people saying,
08:09Jonathan Kaminga is who he is.
08:11So you think they're going to be a play-in team
08:13no matter what?
08:14I don't know.
08:14It's going to be tough to get that six.
08:16It's going to be tough.
08:17Look back at some of these losses.
08:19Atlanta, the Denver game,
08:21and it's going to come down to one of those.
08:22And it's, oh gosh.
08:23But you know what, Grandy?
08:24Steph is back today.
08:25Hopefully.
08:26You're locking that in?
08:27Okay, here we go.
08:28You got inside info for us?
08:29I don't know if you know this.
08:30Now, okay.
08:31Clearly he got the direct deposit from Lakeham
08:33while he was talking.
08:33So continue.
08:34Let me hear you sell me on this team.
08:37Steph will be back today.
08:39Gravity will be back.
08:40The spacing will be back.
08:42Hey, don't you guys worry about JK.
08:43Thank you, Interstellar.
08:44Now, as Steve Kerr said,
08:45we get JK to dunk or spot in GP2 role,
08:48corner threes, and lock down defense.
08:50Let's go.
08:51I love it.
08:51He laughed and turned into the character.
08:53Let me ask you this, Bonte.
08:55Joe Lakeham's checks.
08:55I wish I had Joe Lakeham's checks.
08:56No, they're not checks.
08:57No one gives checks anymore except golf.
08:59Okay?
09:00Direct deposits, Dom.
09:01Red Modes.
09:02We go directly into the bank account.
09:04You imagine getting a defense sale from Joe Lakeham?
09:06That'd be sick.
09:07Probably have like five digits in it, man.
09:09Succeed!
09:12You know when they ask you
09:13for the last four digits of your number?
09:14I would be like screaming it at him
09:16as he's trying to hit it over to me.
09:18Here's all seven digits, actually, Joe.
09:20We know.
09:21We know, Shaski.
09:25Steve Kerr eventually basically saying
09:27he wants JK to fill the GP2 role.
09:29I think it's one thing on offense.
09:30Like he can absolutely no doubt do that.
09:32Like that's made for JK.
09:34I'm a little worried about him being
09:36the defensive stopper, Bonte,
09:37because, I mean, he can do it.
09:39I feel like he has all the potential
09:41and athleticism and skills to do it.
09:43I don't think I've seen it, though, consistently.
09:45Not consistently, but when you tell him an assignment,
09:47hey, Luka tonight, LeBron, or whoever it is,
09:53he'll take the challenge and try his ass off.
09:55And he'll try to pick up 94 feet, press.
09:57He just can't reach.
09:58You know, and you gotta stay in front of these guys.
10:00Cause point of attack defense, when people laugh at it,
10:03point of attack defense without Andrew Wiggins,
10:06it's starting to rear its ugly head.
10:07All right, Miami lived in the paint.
10:09Atlanta lived in the paint.
10:10Toronto lived in the paint.
10:11Denver lived in the paint.
10:13So you need somebody to shut the water off.
10:15JK, this is your opportunity to get major minutes
10:17and make yourself some money.
10:19And endear yourself to a fan base
10:21that seems to be turning on you every single second,
10:23every single possession.
10:24So, yes, he's capable of doing it,
10:27and he's gonna get the opportunity
10:28to do it over these next 10 games.
10:30This is a great opportunity for JK
10:31to shut some people up and just play ball.
10:33And if this is what the coach wants you to do,
10:35dunk or roll, cut, back screen, whatever it is.
10:39Run the floor.
10:40Run the floor.
10:41Then just do it.
10:41And he can do that.
10:43It's wild to me, like,
10:45Pods and JK make a third, combined,
10:49of what Jimmy is making.
10:50And we refuse to just,
10:52I love Jimmy, but like,
10:53Jimmy, Earth to Jimmy,
10:56the Heat wanted you.
10:57Like, hello?
10:58Were you not ready for that game?
10:59It looked like he wanted to run out of that gym.
11:01Look at you, though, Jimmy.
11:02No, I still love him.
11:04I still love him, but you can't.
11:05What's that at this morning?
11:05You can't no-show.
11:06Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.
11:09That was me when I saw him and Draymond playing dominoes.
11:11And then it was, Jimmy, Jimmy.
11:14Now they're playing dominoes on an off day.
11:17I said, it's a bad luck when you don't show up in that game.
11:20Jimmy and Draymond posting a video
11:22of them playing dominoes.
11:23What do you want to do?
11:24Watch film 15 hours a day?
11:26No, show up, show up.
11:29The arena is chanting your name.
11:32Show up.
11:33They showed up.
11:34They showed up.
11:35They just got outplayed.
11:36They got their ass kicked.
11:38That game meant something to Miami.
11:39They got their ass kicked.
11:40The energy was pretty bad.
11:42Spammy and Bile put Draymond in a blender.
11:45So that's what happens, but they can't play dominoes?
11:48You can't play dominoes on an off day?
11:49I'm saying, if you're going to do the yucking it up video
11:52where you look like you're on top of the world,
11:54you got to show up in the game
11:56that everyone's circled and said is the big game.
11:58That Draymond went in his pod telling everyone,
12:00it's a big game.
12:01Jimmy's not even talking about it's such a big game.
12:03It's like, come on, show up.
12:05And the standings, it mattered for the standings too.
12:08You can lose that game.
12:09You can't no-show.
12:10Great news is entertainment, huh?
12:12Great news, amuse at this.
12:13Well, no, I'm with Shasky as no-show.
12:16In terms of the lack of energy to begin that game in Miami,
12:19I don't make the connection between them playing dominoes
12:22on an off day before the game.
12:23Everything matters.
12:24In the words of Steph Curry, I see everything.
12:26Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
12:28Does it not?
12:29Oh my gosh.
12:29Are you a petty king too?
12:31No, I'm just saying like, okay, for example, right?
12:33If you called in sick to your employer
12:35and you put on your Instagram story,
12:37you know, that you were out and about, you know,
12:38partying till five in the morning.
12:40I didn't call in sick.
12:41It was an off day in Miami.
12:43Well, when you show up and you don't perform,
12:45I'm going to say, what were you doing last night?
12:47What's going on?
12:48Well, they were chilling.
12:49They were chilling.
12:50No, I'm not aware.
12:51No, they were fine.
12:53The game was at 7.30 in Miami.
12:55They were fine.
12:56They didn't do anything that day.
12:57That game did not sit well with me,
12:59especially on the back of the Heat versus the Hawks game.
13:03So you wanted that Miami game bad.
13:05Well, what is it to you?
13:06You got to show up.
13:07No, I agree.
13:07You can't not show up.
13:08You start the road trip off 0 for 2.
13:10And it just shows, though,
13:11how much work you can do at the Western Conference.
13:13All these teams is caught in fire.
13:15I mean, the Rockets will not lose.
13:17They will not lose.
13:17After losing seven in a row.
13:18You know, but the Clippers, they're rolling right now.
13:21Scary.
13:22Miami all of a sudden wants to get in that play
13:23and they've won three in a row.
13:24All of a sudden, they're feeling good.
13:26After losing 10 in a row?
13:27After losing 10 in a row.
13:28Has there ever been a team that lost 10 in a row
13:30and made it to the playoffs?
13:31Well, they might make the playoffs, yeah.
13:33Probably.
13:3410 in a row is a lot.
13:35They're locked in.
13:36Did the Pelicans lose like 10 in a row
13:37and make the first round a couple years ago?
13:39I don't know.
13:40It's a lot.
13:41It's a lot of games, but.
13:41The Heat are locked into a play.
13:42So you don't want no more Domino's videos?
13:45I just thought it was a pro look.
13:46You didn't like Draymond Green?
13:48It was ridiculous.
13:49Boom!
13:50No, it was cute.
13:50Boom!
13:51No, no, no.
13:52That was funny.
13:53That was funny.
13:54I was like, oh, they're locked in.
13:55They're ready to go.
13:55Then I watched the first half and I was like,
13:57that did not age well.
13:59That did not age well.
14:00If anything, watching them play Domino's
14:01with the Cuban music on,
14:03I did not get locked in.
14:04I'm getting, damn, they're in Miami having a great time.
14:07The Cuban music,
14:08da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
14:09I want to do like the one, three, five, six.
14:12Come on.
14:13You didn't want to do the salsa?
14:14You've been working with me long enough.
14:15You know how my brain operates.
14:15One, two, three, five, six, seven.
14:17Everything that happens goes into the timeline.
14:20And then there's two scoreboards, guru.
14:23And I'm calculating all the scores all the time.
14:25The 510.
14:26Damn, Joe.
14:27You want them to sleep with a basketball too?
14:29You want them to sleep?
14:37Hey, let's set up the concert at the gym.
14:39Barry University.
14:40I'll meet you at Barry University.
14:41We just got killed.
14:42Let's get some shots up.
14:44One in the morning in Miami.
14:45It looked like Jimmy wanted no part of that arena.
14:48Of all the fan bases to be scared of,
14:50it looked like he wanted out of there.
14:51He did.
14:52I'm sorry.
14:53It just did.
14:54You got to show up for one of those games.
14:55Well, Bam Dada Bio showed up and said,
14:57you know what?
14:57I'm going to be this defender.
14:58Khalil, where?
15:00Jeff led a team in Miami.
15:01I mean, from three, the first game back on January 7th,
15:04they were what?
15:0560 to 40 from three at Chase Center.
15:06Coming out the back end of a back-to-back.
15:09They blew out the Warriors at Chase.
15:10Jeff had like 30 something in that game too.
15:12And they got blown out.
15:13114 to 98.
15:14And then you look back at the other night.
15:16What did it go?
15:1618 to 20, 17 to 25 from three.
15:19Yeah.
15:20Denied in their life.
15:21No doubt about that.
15:22No, no, no, no.
15:22Alec Burks.
15:23And I said this to Cardinal.
15:24He owns the Warriors.
15:25No, he does.
15:26He really does.
15:27I like him though.
15:28He's not a legend in the Warrior land.
15:29He owns the Warriors.
15:30I feel like Alec Burks.
15:31What were we talking about?
15:32Will Barton and him, all-time Warrior killers.
15:34And Paz was on him to start the game.
15:35You put Alec Burks in that all-time Warrior killer category?
15:38Dennis Schroeder.
15:38He's had like three unreal games against them.
15:41Hasn't he?
15:42It's a revenge game.
15:43The 76er game, the Knicks game, and then this one.
15:45Revenge game.
15:46Has he not?
15:48So if they lose tonight, Saskie.
15:49Oh, hands are rolling.
15:50I mean, hands are rolling.
15:51Oh, absolutely.
15:53Ellicott's have nobody.
15:55I mean, what's the line?
15:56Let me look it up.
15:57I'm not saying that again with the Warriors.
15:59Oh, well, this guy's out and this guy's out.
16:01The Pelicans have been eliminated
16:02from the playoffs, by the way.
16:03Oh yeah.
16:04I mean, they're one of the worst teams in the league.
16:05So who's playing?
16:06Zion didn't play the other night.
16:08They started Kelly Olynyk, Keon Brooks Jr.,
16:11Missy, Alvarado, Jordan Hawkins from UConn.
16:15So Zion's out tonight.
16:17Kelly Olynyk is a Pelican now?
16:19He's a Pelican.
16:20How many Olynyks are there still in the league?
16:22Just one.
16:23I'm teasing.
16:24There's only ever been one.
16:24Mo Bamba's on the team.
16:26Alfred Payton, Antonio Reeves.
16:28Did he cut the hair?
16:29Lester Kiyotis.
16:30Oh.
16:31He's on the roster.
16:32Oh, Lester.
16:32Lester had five the other night
16:34to win against the Sixers.
16:35Revenge, man.
16:35We were good for a couple of texts about Lester.
16:37Try Lester out there.
16:39I know, you're basically, I said, Pat Spencer.
16:42Try Pat Spencer.
16:43Well, when Pods is getting cooked by Alec Burks,
16:45yeah, maybe you do go to someone else.
16:47Pat Spencer does pressure the ball well.
16:50But, I mean.
16:52Why is Pods one of the guys
16:54that's in their best defensive lineups?
16:57He's in all of those lineups.
16:58Are you going plus minus with me?
16:59Are you really gonna do this?
17:00No, it's defensive efficiency.
17:01Okay, I got it.
17:02He has been playing well.
17:03The road trip's been tough, yeah.
17:04Yeah, no doubt.
17:05The road trip's been,
17:06he ran into Trey Ugg,
17:07and they started talking earlier in the game.
17:08He was guarding him way too tight
17:09at the top of the key
17:10and got blown by over and over again.
17:11You gotta make an adjustment, right?
17:13Like, I mean, look, I see things both ways.
17:15No one says he's the worst player in the world,
17:16but we're acting like he doesn't have deficiencies, too.
17:19Had J.K. done the exact same thing that he did,
17:21what would everyone be going,
17:22I can't believe he fired up Trey Ugg young like that.
17:25Jimmy Butler said it perfectly the other night.
17:26It ain't 30 back.
17:28This thing revolves around 30,
17:30and we see why he's working.
17:31That's what I wanna hear from the guy making 60 large.
17:33No, 60.
17:34I can't operate without Steph.
17:36It's like, no.
17:37Well, he's making a 60 large.
17:38That's my point.
17:39Like, Jimmy, we just gave you 112 million.
17:42Like, this is why we acquired you to offset a night.
17:46Like, for example,
17:47I just need to win one of these two games.
17:49Curry's out.
17:49Can we win one of two?
17:51No, you literally look like
17:52you didn't show up for either game.
17:54He showed up against Atlanta.
17:55He was okay.
17:56I thought he was okay against Atlanta.
17:57Their defense sucked against Atlanta.
17:59Their defense stuck.
18:00The offense was, you know,
18:03wasn't the best.
18:04The bench in that game, too,
18:05kind of picked up the starters.
18:06Yeah, they did.
18:07That time, so.
18:08I mean, every time they cut it to eight,
18:10Atlanta goes on a little mini run and go back up 15.
18:12They cut it to six.
18:13They go back up on 15, go on a mini run.
18:15So the starters do have to play better.
18:16Jimmy has to play better,
18:17but this is his game. I just don't accept the cop-out.
18:18I just don't accept the cop-out.
18:19Oh, Steph's out.
18:21Why?
18:22You know, can you imagine Luka?
18:23LeBron's out.
18:24I'm just kidding.
18:25I mean, what are you gonna do?
18:26It means we don't have LeBron.
18:27That's why they got Luka.
18:28Well, they got blown out, too, without LeBron.
18:30No, I know, but I'm just saying.
18:30Josh hitting it to Ralph Corden.
18:31Heave to beat him.
18:32You know, that doesn't mean the excuse is a good one.
18:34Nobody's making the excuse,
18:35but they're even asking a lot.
18:37And so that's why I'm not gonna panic.
18:38Well, that's obvious.
18:39I'm not gonna panic when you get a team
18:40like the Heat that are athletic
18:42and have a lot of size.
18:43They do.
18:44Their starting five is impressive
18:45in terms of just length and athleticism
18:47and paying attention to detail.
18:49You know they're gonna be well-coached with Spoh.
18:51You don't have Steph.
18:52Yes, that's what the gravity looks like.
18:54That's what the spacing looks like.
18:56And then the lack of shooting.
18:57Was Jimmy passive for you?
18:58Let me just ask you.
18:58Just straight up.
18:59Given everything that was going on,
19:01was he too passive for you?
19:02Bam made him passive.
19:05Bam forced him to be passive.
19:06So then what was that third quarter
19:08where they actually looked like they were intense
19:10after getting their butt kicked?
19:10The bitch came in.
19:12That was the bitch that came in with that run.
19:13Oh, I thought their defensive intensity
19:14in the half court cranked up a lot more
19:17in the first couple of minutes.
19:17A little bit.
19:18They were still down 20.
19:20No, no doubt.
19:20In the first couple of minutes.
19:21No doubt.
19:22Os made a few shots in the third quarter.
19:23There were three points in that game.
19:24They were down 20
19:25like in the first four minutes of the third quarter.
19:27I was gonna say they were.
19:27They got back within eight, I think.
19:28Yeah, twice.
19:29That was with the bitch.
19:30That was with the Kaminga MP.
19:31Three separate times,
19:33this lineup caused a huge deficit.
19:35To open the game,
19:36it was the GP2 Draymond Butler lineup.
19:38Okay, the three non-shooters.
19:39At the end of,
19:41or I guess the end of the second quarter,
19:43beginning of the second quarter,
19:44they went back to that lineup to start the quarter.
19:46And it went from an eight point game,
19:48which was a three point game,
19:49down to a 12 point game.
19:50And then immediately again at the end of half,
19:52they went to 17 with the Tyler Hero 3.
19:54They went back to it after they had cut it to nine or 10
19:57at the end of the third quarter.
19:58And then immediately it ballooned up to 17.
20:00Three separate times.
20:01Because Spoh was like,
20:03we're gonna treat you as three non-shooters.
20:04I get like the lineup construction issue,
20:07but without Steph,
20:08it doesn't matter who they put out there.
20:09You're at least gonna have three non-shooters
20:11on the floor every single time.
20:12Like your shooters without Steph
20:14are Buddy, Heald, and Quentin Post.
20:16That's it.
20:17And Moody, you expect Moody to be a three and D guy.
20:19He hasn't been good.
20:20No, I know, but I'm saying like why you play him
20:22is you expect him to space the floor.
20:23But just like legit shooters,
20:25I'm kind of with Grandy.
20:26It's Post, it's Buddy, it's Steph.
20:28Even with Steph, I don't think they have enough offense.
20:31Right, with Steph, the spacing is still like,
20:33oh boy, you got,
20:34cause Jimmy's operating a bit of a block.
20:35There's no doubt,
20:35but would you agree that like GP2,
20:38similar to some of the other guys that they had
20:40in years past,
20:41really only marks along with Steph Curry.
20:44Like in those lineups,
20:45you have to be careful who you try him out with.
20:47Same with Kevon Looney.
20:48We've got a lot of that on this team.
20:49But that's.
20:50We've got a lot of that on this team.
20:51So that's why.
20:52Hence why it's so dire
20:53that I need Jimmy Butler to pretend like he cares
20:56in a game that matters to him.
20:57Watch this, watch this, Grady.
20:58I'm gonna do some shit.
21:00So when I walked in here a month ago,
21:02you know Spadoni was asking me to compare this roster
21:05to the championship roster from a couple years ago.
21:07I didn't ask that.
21:07You guys are talking about it.
21:09Spadoni, let's put credit where credit is due.
21:11Spadoni, Spadoni did that.
21:14I walked in here and I said Ponte, Ponte, Ponte.
21:19By the way, there's a take that's aging very well,
21:21but it gets you on the other side.
21:22Oh, we had a conversation about it a few years ago.
21:24What was it?
21:25It starts with, it has to do with Canada.
21:27We'll get there.
21:29Yeah, we'll get there.
21:30That's a tease.
21:30Yeah, that's a tease.
21:31That's Canada.
21:32That's Canada, yeah.
21:33Against the Wiggins?
21:34No, no, but I walked in here, Grady.
21:36And they were like, Ponte,
21:37on paper this roster looks better
21:39than the championship roster from three.
21:41And I'm like, well,
21:42can we just get into the playoffs first
21:45before we do all that?
21:46Now we're, I'm hearing this.
21:48I don't think we're gonna be carrying this roster
21:50to the title season from a couple of years ago no more.
21:54What a difference a couple of weeks makes.
21:56Auto-Porter walking through that door, Shaski.
21:59Look, okay, first off, things change.
22:02Did you see the 2010 Giants opening lineup?
22:05We read it out yesterday.
22:06Mark DeRosa.
22:06Did you think that team was gonna be a champion?
22:08I was at the game when Mark DeRosa screwed his wrist up.
22:10John Bowker.
22:11That team's winning the second base.
22:12Yeah, we were talking about that.
22:13And then his career was like done, basically.
22:14It was done.
22:15Yeah, so things happen.
22:17Things happen.
22:18I mean, you know, things happen.
22:20All right, we're gonna take a break.
22:22Presented with new information, my stock portfolio.
22:25You threw Spadoni under the bus for that conversation,
22:28even though y'all talked about it for four hours.
22:31I walked in, what's this roster?
22:33Now all of a sudden, we got no spacing,
22:35we got no shooters, our pets' heads were falling off.
22:39Timeout.
22:40Too Short had the greatest song ever with Jay-Z.
22:42It was all good a week ago, all right?
22:45All right, time for a break.
22:46We got Mike Bayhill, Warriors pre- and post-game host
22:48on NBC Sports Bay Area.
22:50Whitman is here in-studio.
22:52Tree Lance.
22:53We got one more.
