00:0095.7 The Game, Breaking News.
00:05Well, guys, we're awaiting the Warriors announcing Steph Curry's update tomorrow.
00:11That's what I imagine Steve Curry's going to tell you guys coming up in a couple of hours.
00:14We do have a look ahead to tomorrow's injury report for game number five.
00:17Steph Curry is officially listed as out for tomorrow's game.
00:20Okay, there you have it.
00:21So now it's in ink.
00:23What many have already sort of been thrown around out there
00:26based on what's been not only said in the media,
00:30what I think is also evident just by watching him walk around in life,
00:35but now the official injury report is there.
00:37Steph Curry is out and will not play in game five.
00:40Okay, and now it's official, and I'm not surprised at all.
00:45We just had this conversation where if you reevaluate somebody on game day
00:49and they've been out for more than a week, they're not going to play that night.
00:53That doesn't happen, and you're not going to risk his hamstring.
00:57If he plays with it, maybe iffy 50-50, and something really bad happens to it,
01:02and now he's out three to six months and he has surgery, what are we even doing?
01:06I mean, 50-50 to me also, you're talking about a hamstring.
01:09So, like, if you send Steph Curry out there tomorrow night,
01:13he's not going to be Steph Curry.
01:15Right.
01:15He's not going to be Steph Curry.
01:16Here, let's jump this to the front of the line
01:19because I think we have a caller that wants to specifically talk about this.
01:22Nick in Berkeley.
01:23Hi, Nick.
01:24What's up?
01:24What you got?
01:26I just refuse.
01:27I mean, I'm in the state of denial, man, but I'm just like, dude,
01:30there's no way he's not playing.
01:32Like, give him a limited – give him a limited –
01:34dude, like the NFL, they give him a limited, like, you know,
01:37runs or carries or passes or whatever.
01:39Man, he's going to play.
01:40I just refuse to believe the competitor in Curry is going to sit there
01:46and watch his team move.
01:47He's going to – man, tape your leg up, homie.
01:49I don't know what to tell you.
01:51It's do or die.
01:52You ain't got to play the whole game.
01:53At least 25 minutes, you can't give it a go for at least a quarter.
01:57It's a wrap.
01:57I respect that.
01:58There's no way he's not going to touch that floor tomorrow, man.
02:01I just don't see it.
02:02He's going to touch that floor right underneath those chairs
02:05that they sit on over there on the bench.
02:08Nick, I want to give you my phone number so that you can text me
02:11at tip-off tomorrow night, and we'll see if you believe it then.
02:16Like, I mean, not only is he already listed as out, I mean,
02:20you've got to acknowledge that just because he is Steph Curry doesn't mean
02:25he's got the ability to go out there tomorrow night and look like Steph Curry.
02:29You don't want half of Steph Curry to play, do you?
02:31Well, I'm saying he can go for five minutes.
02:39This call will be recorded.
02:40Oh, my God.
02:41All right.
02:42There goes Nick.
02:43What the hell just happened?
02:44We may have to save that whole piece right there.
02:47This call will be recorded.
02:48Oh, my God.
02:49Even the lady on there thought five minutes was just a ridiculous idea.
02:54Well, and series like, you are wrong.
02:58Thank you for calling.
02:59And for those who are not old enough to remember,
03:01and I remember because I was almost two,
03:03but the Willis-Reed game, 1970 NBA Finals,
03:07where he trudged out on the floor,
03:09and we all rhapsodize about the Willis-Reed game.
03:13He played 27 minutes, but he scored four points.
03:15So he was out there, kind of, but if it wasn't for, yes,
03:20Walt Frazier leading the Knicks over the Lakers,
03:23the Willis-Reed game is a little bit of a misnomer.
03:26What was the final score?
03:27How much did they win by?
03:27113 to 99.
03:29Oh, so they didn't even need his four points.
03:31No.
03:31Man, what a gravy trainer.
03:33The logo with 28 and a loss.
03:35Yeah.
03:36Will 21 and 24 and a loss.
03:38Kind of the logos thing to be an all-time great
03:41and barely ever, ever, ever win it.
03:43One ring.
03:44Yep, exactly.
03:45One out of 11.
03:46He's like your boy Aaron Rodgers.
03:49R-E-L-A-X.
03:53Relax.
03:53All right.
03:53Let's go to Trevor in R-O-H-N-E.
03:58Never mind.
03:58Boner Park.
03:59Hi, Trevor.
04:00What's up, Trevor?
04:01What are you doing?
04:02I spelled it all the way out, man.
04:04Come on.
04:05I know I could have, but I was like,
04:06I'm going to take all of Trevor's time
04:08if I keep up with all these letters.
04:10Well, let's not do that.
04:11Let's not do that.
04:12All right.
04:12So, guys, I just, I want to just kind of emphasize
04:16what that game looked like compared to game three.
04:21And the reason why I feel like, yeah, this is definitely a wrap.
04:25I don't think Trevor's going to get a chance to come back.
04:26It's just the defensive level and the effort level out there
04:31that I saw, whether it be Draymond Green getting older.
04:35And you guys are right.
04:35The legs, I mean, if the hair doesn't give it away,
04:37the legs definitely do.
04:39The defense wasn't there at the end as well as the first half of the quarter.
04:43And it's a collective effort, right?
04:45There is no guy.
04:46Everybody knows that.
04:47You guys know that.
04:48We all know that the Warriors don't win games this year
04:51before Jimmy Butler for sure, unless it's a collective effort.
04:54There is no one guy that's going to go out there and get this done.
04:58There just isn't outside Jimmy Butler,
05:00and Jimmy Butler is not really doing it.
05:03So, I mean, you know, Curry, you've got three games you've got to win in a row.
05:07It's not going to happen.
05:08If they win next game, great.
05:09I really kind of feel like it pretty much is done next game.
05:13But I think really what it comes down to is when I called in before
05:17and I was talking about defense will keep you in the game.
05:19But the defense, in my mind, at least in the second half,
05:22the defense really tapered off.
05:23The first half is okay.
05:24They were in it.
05:25They were in it.
05:26But as the second half came through, it's like everything just kind of collapsed.
05:32The scoring stopped, and then instantaneously right after that,
05:35the defense stopped.
05:36And I don't know.
05:37It was just a perfect storm.
05:39But, guys, it's a collective effort,
05:41and it's just the collective effort isn't there right now.
05:44And unfortunately to me, that makes it feel a lot like it's over.
05:49I said I wasn't going to doubt the Warriors again after the Rockets,
05:51but this is a little different.
05:52This is different.
05:54This Timberlake seems too good now.
05:55Well, and Steph Curry's out.
05:57So, yeah, Trevor, I get it.
05:58I will say one thing.
06:00I'll push back a little bit on, quote, unquote,
06:02the collective effort is not there.
06:04I do think the effort is there.
06:06And here's one thing I've always thought about NBA stars.
06:09When offensive stars in the NBA get going, there's no stopping them.
06:15You can't stop them.
06:16The Warriors were great defensively against Anthony Edwards out at the three-point line.
06:21They were right there.
06:22He was too good.
06:24How about that Julius Randle turnaround at the end of the shot clock?
06:29Brilliant defense.
06:31Just a chuck.
06:32Eyes closed, chuck up, and hit nothing but the net.
06:36Randle was on.
06:37Yep.
06:37Edwards was on.
06:38They both went 30-plus.
06:41Ain't nothing you could do.
06:42Yeah, I do think, to his point, you got late in that third, early fourth,
06:47and I could kind of see the Dauber was down.
06:49Yeah, they gave up.
06:49Yes, that I agree.
06:51And, you know, Draymond had a couple of chances where the Draymond that I know
06:54would have at least tried to inflict a little something on Rudy Gobert near the rim.
07:00And there was two hoops that Rudy scored in the second half.
07:02One was an alley-oop right over Draymond's head.
07:05The other one, Gobert catches it low block.
07:07And Draymond kind of sidles over to him,
07:10puts an arm into him and one hand up.
07:12The Draymond I know down 15 or 17,
07:15you're going to challenge that a little bit more aggressively.
07:17Yeah, but at the same time,
07:18and I know kind of where you're coming from, don't you think?
07:20I mean, people would have been mad at Draymond in his situation
07:23if he goes out there and does something flagrant or a technical.
07:27I get it.
07:27Like, why?
07:28At that point.
07:29Well, if he thought that the game was still winnable, he would have.
07:32Maybe.
07:33Yeah, maybe.
07:34What I'm perceiving is like, we're down 17.
07:36Let's just get out of here.
