00:00Yeah, and Stani I came in I got anxiety. I'm trying to hide it from us means you don't believe in your squad
00:05No, it's very simple. These things very simple
00:10No, it has nothing to China's and there there's just
00:14Americans love the past the path of least resistance. They also love the past
00:19Even though it has no bearing on what's going on now. I'm sorry. I interrupt you fine
00:24I'm just looking at the Western Conference. I there's no easy route if you get up to four
00:30Which we covet and you move up because you want to be the Jeffersons, right?
00:33It's just it's it's a bad
00:36it's a damn good team waiting on you and I'm watching the Rockets last night's Donnie and
00:41what did they win 12 of the the last 14 and
00:46They got a one winning record against a Western Conference playoff team and that's Memphis
00:50They're three and one but they got losing records against every other playoff team
00:55Slated right now and I'm just looking at them like they're so young
00:58I don't think they have a go-to guy with the just my mom
01:01I work mine
01:02Do you want to maybe go to seventh and and winning and take care of that playing game and you would get them first out?
01:08To shoot no, but I do think of it, but Memphis to my
01:14Point of view Stony they played Boston tough, but man you're going into that building and you're right
01:19This is the game you want to start this four game gauntlet with with the dub. No pun intended
01:24I feel like I feel like four is pretty much out of reach and
01:29A half now, right? It's two and a half now. You win the night
01:34It's two and you beat the Lakers. It's one. Yeah, they still own the tiebreaker
01:39So you finish tie with the Lakers?
01:43You're you lose. Oh Lakers are three and oh against you this year. So
01:48The Warriors right now are are two and a half in back of the Lakers
01:53Let's assume they win tonight Christmas one to make it to make it to behind the Lakers. I
02:00Got and they're gonna have to beat the Lakers. I got you. There's still one game behind the Lakers and
02:06Then leapfrog them by two games after that
02:10It looks like right now if you had to bet if they don't if they avoid the play and they're gonna be on the damn road
02:17Yeah, I don't I don't I mean it's not impossible they could get up to four but it's not probable at all
02:23It's it's a long shot. You damn sure got to win the night then so then the question becomes
02:28If you get to five, you're probably gonna get the Lakers though. You could get Denver. Yeah, I
02:34Don't like any of them if if you stay at six, you could get the Lakers you could get Denver
02:42Seven right now if you are in the play-in and get to seven
02:48It looks like the Rockets. Well, if you lose tonight would Minnesota jump you or where are we at with Minnesota head-to-head?
02:55I know you told me the other day because they don't have their half game behind us
02:58Correct if we lost if the Warriors lose tonight, then they're tied with, Minnesota
03:03Tied with Minnesota. We got the Minnesota plays at Denver tonight
03:08And they won't have Nas read or D Vincenzo because of the supply they do well against Denver
03:14Minnesota plays Denver's better than any other team in the West
03:17I would I would think and so eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seven zero is the number
03:25Warrior fans. I mean, this is it
03:29four big games coming up and you're sitting with Steph Curry you're sitting with Jimmy Butler and
03:35Guru's nervous
03:38Is that fair? Yeah, that's fair. Guru's nervous slash excited nervous. It's the playoffs have started
03:44Do you have a problem with that? Yes, I do. Okay, I do
03:48Because a I'm a very literal person and they haven't started but be
03:56If you lose this game
03:58It hurts, but you got three more head and win the next seven and you'll be fine. I
04:04Get it that I'm not saying it's not an important game
04:07But it controls where you start in the playoffs, but I guess that's what has me feeling like it's the off's already
04:14but the other thing is
04:16The other reason I think this is this is a monster stretch is because it's it's four
04:23Games in six days, so they play tonight
04:27Thursday Friday and then Sunday
04:30So, hmm, this is going to be four games crammed into six days and
04:37I think it's gonna be the first chance to see whether or not the Warriors with
04:43Some older guys on the roster and some young guys on the roster, you know how they hold up
04:49I mean, let's let's really
04:52Take a look at how Draymond Jimmy Butler and Steph all play
04:57Over the next six games. Mm-hmm. Do we detect at any point in the next week that?
05:03they're tired or
05:05What it happened the night before what are they gonna do on on Friday against Denver, right?
05:11Are we just assuming that Curry's playing back-to-backs now and Butler's playing back-to-backs now Draymond's playing back-to-backs now
05:17And if that's where we're at, which is a full go. Well, then we got to
05:23Find out if if that takes its toll on this team and you want to send a message, I'm sorry Stiney
05:28I don't know what their records gonna be because there are games before Friday
05:31Shout out ice cube, but you want to send a message to Denver that you can that they don't own you
05:37You know what?
05:37I mean, like I would hate if you told me right now
05:40Could you slip up and then guarantee we get Denver and and the Lakers or whatnot?
05:45But I would love to lay a nail on Denver just to send a message you haven't beat us
05:50What well you did beat us with Butler good lord. What about talking about? Yeah
05:53Yeah, it was on the court when they run their second squad JV squad out there. Yeah nine straight
05:59Denver's won over you and I
06:02do detect I
06:06Think warrior fans are just like Stiney right now. I really do. I think most fans are like me right now
06:13which means I
06:16Need to see what this team is I
06:18Think I think there are a lot of warrior fans that are optimistic, but they're smart enough to know that
06:25the next six days
06:27Are the big boys? I mean if if those are
06:30It is the thing let's take four and oh and oh and four off the table. Let's just take that off the table
06:36if they go one in three
06:39It will absolutely
06:42damper
06:43The 23 games they've played already with Jimmy Butler it it just will and it'll be a little dose of reality
06:51for the team and the fans
06:53They go three and one
06:56Then I think bring it on there's gonna be a lot of optimism
07:00Hell, maybe the Warriors themselves
07:03will have more confidence, but
07:06This is it ladies and gentlemen, but you can't run from Stiney the optimism has been out the bottle
07:12It's built on the floor and it's everywhere in regard to them compiling this record with Jimmy Butler
07:18It made us believe, but it's all gonna go away
07:20If they lose three out of four mad at you to the four teams better than them in the stand
07:26That like I get it. It doesn't mean they're cooked
07:30It doesn't mean they have no chance to win it, but you lose three out of four going into the playoffs
07:36To these type of teams
07:38I mean then then it it just it just gives you a dose of reality about how
07:43realistic it is for this team to make a run and
07:47I
07:49Really do believe that if I see him go three and one
07:53Versus one and three. Yeah, I'm gonna think they have more of a chance a
07:58Week from now then they do if they go one and three
08:01I I don't know how how else to look at it because if nothing else
08:06One in three against those four teams is gonna drop you in the standings. So it's just gonna make it harder the road bumpier, etc
08:14Let's go to Xavier in Oakland
08:17Hey Xavier, how you doing, man?
08:20Hey guys, I'm calling in again. Um, so my opinion has changed and Brennan presents
08:24Okay, starting to change a little bit. He's showing me some stuff. You got that confidence the JK situation, man
08:31I just a head scratcher, but I'm with you guys on this next four games
08:36We're road standard, you know, these next four games are gonna be pretty tough, but I put on Twitter under Anthony Slater's tweet
08:43As to JJ I can see me
08:45I think we're gonna come out flat get blown out
08:48Clippers gonna take the six and we're back into playing. Oh, is that more realistic or my thinking crazy?
08:55Yeah, I'm gonna say crazy right now to get blown out Stiney and come out tonight
08:59Like I want to see Jimmy. I know we talked about it, but no matter what happens
09:04I want to see him try to set the tone early
09:07Yeah, I mean Xavier fight. I'd have to answer the credit that question. I mean
09:12Clippers are playing good. I expect well, here's it. Here's it Stiney going out in a limb
09:17I expect one out of two things tonight. I think at the end of tonight's game winner loss
09:23No, no, not based on the outcome. Good. Good. I think we're gonna be able to tell tonight whether
09:29Memphis has anything or not whether whether their season is pretty much packed in or whether they play with a certain desperation
09:36That lets you know, they still believe in themselves. Yeah, they have to and I'm expecting that Stiney. They've lost three again
09:43I know you're gonna guru the games up to two quarters
09:46But they played Boston to where they it was a good game at half and I got to feel like if I'm them
09:53Memphis Donnie, this is the game to where we can kind of all right. We lost our coach
09:58We've been slipping, but this is where we hit the restart
10:01man, yeah
10:04And this is right. I saw this stat, but I'll credit the person on the on the YouTube chat uncle loon
10:12Memphis has Memphis hasn't beaten a team over 500 since February 2nd. Yikes. I saw that in the story about
10:19The Grizzlies and that's the other thing
10:21I mean, we can't talk about tonight's game without talking about what's going on with the Grizzlies and
10:26It does look like they're in a little trouble
10:29after fire and Taylor Jenkins, apparently one of the things going on is that
10:36Earlier in the sea are before the season they they
10:40They hired two assistant coaches and they fired five of their current assistant coach
10:46Oh, yeah, and they began to implement a new style
10:49let's say offensively and it's been met with a mixture of
10:54Enthusiasm and
10:57skepticism I guess and
10:59Apparently it sounds to me like Taylor Jenkins was not all on board for the way
11:05the Memphis for the way Memphis was kind of changing their style and so because he wasn't totally bought into what
11:13the two coaches who were brought in through the front office were into
11:18They thought it was time for him to go and now one of the two assistants who was hired as their interim coach
11:23What a risky move and Evan came in this morning
11:26Can you guys remember a time this late in the season started the answers? No, you know, it's funny
11:31Is there a fear and I do look at it this way?
11:34and I got to give I
11:36got to assume that most of the people running organizations are smart and
11:41clearly the
11:43General manager of the Grizzlies thought it was more risky to let this thing play out
11:48Man, because he knew if they let it play out
11:53Like it's been playing out that nothing was changed nothing would have changed and so he probably knew they weren't going anywhere and
12:01They still might not be going anywhere, but maybe he thinks they have a puncher's chance
12:05They're all in two since his departure. They played two better games though. They've had their schedule has been really tough. Who did
12:12Who'd they lose to before?
12:15Yeah, so they they're in the middle of a real tough stretch Lakers
12:19Boston Golden State, let's go to Jimmy in Dublin. Hey, Jimmy. How you doing?
12:27Yes, sir
12:30Yeah, how's it going dynamite
12:34Yeah, pretty much just want to say
12:37Pretty much just want to say I mean either way like you guys are saying the Lakers
12:41I mean the Warriors are gonna be picking their point because I mean, I mean I can't I mean they can't be Denver in the
12:46seven-game series
12:48All right, and then and then and then moving on I mean they haven't shown that they can beat the Lakers. Nope
12:57Man, we lose all we lose it. Yeah
13:00We lost it. Yeah. No, I mean
13:03Not a lot of success between those two teams and right now. I know Stony
13:08We got some games left, but you know the leader in the clubhouse of who you're going to play is are those two
13:15Look the the one thing
13:17You gotta go do it. The one thing I was thinking about was okay. Yeah, you'd want Houston. Sure
13:23Let's let's even give you that they want Houston. All right, they get Houston
13:29They're gonna get somebody tough in the second round
13:31Yeah, and then if they win that the Western Conference final is gonna be against a great team. You can't run from so I
13:37actually
13:39I'm starting to think who they play in the if if you're really talking about making a deep run
13:44Then their first-round opponent to my way of thinking is not hugely important
13:50Because you're gonna have to go through three of the best Western Conference teams no matter who pops up on the bracket
13:57But you talked about emptying the tank and what you're gonna have if you tire
14:01Early well against a you know a big why don't you take a lot out of the Warriors?
14:06Even if the Warriors win the series
14:09But look the bottom line is they haven't beaten Denver in two two plus years and they haven't beaten
14:16You know the Lakers have been in control of the Warriors in the recent past ended their season
14:21The Clippers are 3 and 0 against Golden State this year
14:25So man, you look above and below the Warriors and there's a bunch of teams that they haven't had great success
14:33with in the recent past, but that's
14:36To be expected when you're a six seed
14:40This from
14:41The five one. Oh, oh goo and Matt
14:44It's your boy Leroy Lee if I wants to throw this if the 49ers are gonna give Brock Purdy the keys to the car
14:50He's gonna need to help driving it
14:52Getting players through the draft and acquiring through free agency does nothing for continuity. This is not a retool
14:58Oh, this is not a retool. This is a rebuild
15:01Wow talking about the 49ers which we were talking about earlier earlier in the day
15:07We'll see we we will see eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seven zero is the number and a lot of stuff
15:15Going on in the bay
15:17Giants off to a three-in-one start
15:19Warriors biggest stretch of the season coming up without a doubt and the San Francisco 49ers are also
15:27Starting to make some offseason noise after a pretty dormant free agency period draft around the corners Donnie
15:33Yes, where they go. What is it about three 23 days weeks ago three weeks to go
15:38Oh, by the way, I saw a vintage. I saw I saw a classic
15:44Classic headline today. Oh, it was what I wanted to just cut out
15:48paste on my wall and
15:51Just keep it there so I always remember where we're at laying the NBA and we weren't able to get it done
16:00Pelican shut down CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson. I
16:05Saw that
16:06Was that from November good Lord? That's a four. Thank you shocker
16:12It's funny. I was looking at the athletic today and David Aldridge longtime sports writer wrote a story that
16:19Actually, I
16:22Wasn't really into
16:25but
16:26the the the headline was the NBA is as talented and skilled as it's ever been and
16:33Then under it Pell shut down McCollum and Zion Williamson and and Aldridge's story was about how the NBA is actually
16:41Doing pretty good and everybody
16:43Products pretty good. Yeah, and the players are super talented and super skilled and the league should be at a high point
16:50Pell shut down
16:52McCollum and will let me tell you where Cooper flag will not be playing starting his NBA career in New Orleans
16:58They will make that they'll fix it Stiney David Stern rest in peace line one
17:03but the whole Patrick Ewing fiasco thing with the
17:07folded
17:09Envelope, but Stiney, he ain't going and dang wasting them in New Orleans
17:14and
17:16Cooper flag for some reason in your mind first some reason in your mind is is a player
17:23That's got higher stature than Zion Williams. Like why wouldn't I come back and say well why did let Zion go there?
17:31Well, that was the straw that broke the camel's back and he will be leaving New Orleans
17:36Right
17:37That repeat he's not going to New Orleans. They will not allow it
17:41He's going to the Lone Star State
17:43I think these are the times when you have to tell people that that's an opinion you're having. Of course. Okay. All right
17:50Yeah, it's a feel. Come on, man. You don't want him go to come on. I don't like I
17:57Don't want him not going anywhere. I don't where he goes is where he goes. You would like to see him with Wimby
18:02I think about it in here and what you want to cancel the NBA if
18:06Cooper flags as good as all you guys say
18:10if he's as good as all you all think then cancel the NBA if he goes to
18:17San Antonio, that'd be a fun watch. You know, I'm saying print up to let me tell you what I found in my
18:25Illustrious career in the media
18:28for the most part guys
18:31Don't become as good as you think they're gonna be. Yeah, they just don't
18:37They just don't
18:39That's why guys like LeBron
18:42Brombron Kobe. Yeah bird magic Jordan
18:48They lived up to it sack
18:51You think Cooper flag can be better than Christian Laitner?
18:55Yes, yeah, I get the sense they're two different kinds of well, well that they are but remember he came out with a lot of
19:01Fame. I mean if you want to be honest, the one thing I am I do wonder about is
19:07you know, I get it it's positionless basketball, but
19:11You know, I I always worry about a guy like that and he can work both ways
19:17You know, he's he's a big small forward
19:20Small power forward and will he be strong enough to deal with the fours and will he be quick enough to deal with the threes?
19:27but
19:28I've seen players come into the league who draymond green for example on the defensive end who?
19:36Were every bit as quick as the threes so they could guard him
19:39yeah, and he was every bit as tough as the fours and so he could guard them too and
19:45That's why draymond green is great and
19:47future Hall of Famer that to me is how Cooper flag will turn into a great player if
19:52He can guard the perimeter guard the interior go inside and score and score on the perimeter. Let's go to Tom in Sonoma
19:59Hey Tom, how you doing?
20:02Hey
20:04Great guys. Oh, hey, I'm excited. I'm excited about the last eight games of the season man. Let's go
20:11I mean, you know, and let me just say this guys. We got a take three out of four
20:17Okay, and if I had my pick to lose I'd rather lose to Houston, but there's one thing we're not talking about at all
20:25What and that's the Clippers the last game of the year that game might make the difference between a play in and a play
20:33game so I you know, I mean
20:35This
20:37Season is exciting as hell. I
20:40Want to win so bad tonight and then for the next we gotta go out of eight man to get in that four or five
20:47slot we have to
20:50Appreciate it Tom
20:52Yes, and I should know this Donnie that Clipper game in order for it to mean something
20:56You got to have your business start tonight that here or in LA
20:59Here, okay. It's in the bay chase in the bay
21:03Mm-hmm
21:04You know, I the funny thing is is even though eight games is not a lot and they're coming fast. It is a lot and
21:12There's still a long way to go before we know whether that game will even mean anything the chance. It won't mean anything
21:19There's a chance that no matter who wins it. Nobody's gonna move up or down
21:23But the Warriors need because you always talk about the age Donnie they need that week off where the plan
21:29Basically would you know give them rest that would go a long way man and you get that with six
21:35You still get a week's rest with six you do there
21:38it is with seven the season ends on a Sunday and then you play on either Tuesday or Wednesday and
21:45Ideally you win that game in your week. Then you have at least three or four days off
21:50But then you lose that one
21:52You got to play Thursday or Friday and then you start the first round to just just two days after that
21:58So yeah, this is money time
22:01Golden State Warriors
22:03888-957-9570 is the number what would be?
22:10Satisfactory to you the Golden State Warrior fan in terms of the next four games whoo, they're gonna be tough
22:17Memphis
22:18Lakers
22:20nuggets
22:21rockets
22:23You'll find out what the Warriors are all about this week that segment
22:28Is uh, oh, you know what? I got it. Yeah be better. Um
22:33Evan did that come over the air? Yes, it did
