00:00OOOHHHHHH!
00:05BABY!
00:06What is happening Tim Roy, on the call!
00:1095-70 game. Buddy Buckets with the dagger!
00:14Steph with 21 of his 27 in the second half, and the Warriors down 14-3 early.
00:19It looks all hairy. Derek White is bombing threes left and right.
00:22The bench mom comes in, stabilizes the game.
00:25Buddy Hill GP-2s, slow-mo with three straight threes.
00:28I thought Camiga had some solid minutes,
00:30and then Curry took over.
00:32Loon Dog, the whole damn team,
00:34it is strength in numbers right now, folks,
00:36and I can just feel it.
00:38I can feel it in the air, I can feel it in the streets,
00:41I can feel it in the studio.
00:43There's a belief now with this basketball team, all right?
00:47Yeah, sure, the Celtics didn't have Jalen Brown,
00:48they didn't have Chris Osborne-Zegans.
00:50Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
00:52But you know what?
00:53Seven and one, five straight wins,
00:56five and oh on the road, 22 in their last 26,
00:59and there's something special brewing
01:01with this basketball team.
01:02I don't know what it is,
01:04but something special's happened in Chaske,
01:06and maybe that 50-win magic number,
01:08maybe we need to bump it up a little bit.
01:10I don't know, maybe I need to pump the brakes.
01:12But I like what I've seen
01:15through the first eight games of the season.
01:17Matter of fact, I don't like it, I freaking love it.
01:22What a feather in the cap kind of win.
01:24I mean, that's what we're gonna look back on.
01:26You gotta win five, six, seven, eight of those a year
01:29for people to truly buy in.
01:30That's how it works.
01:31That felt like one of the best wins in a lifetime.
01:34It really did.
01:36And I'm not trying to hate on last year
01:37or the year prior or any of those things.
01:40I'm really not.
01:42But last night felt so fun and so different.
01:44And there's just something about when this team
01:46is playing basketball on the road and shutting crowds up,
01:51the Boston crowd!
01:53Today's not about predictions, feels.
01:56It's about Warrior fans!
01:59It's about Warrior fans!
02:00Buddy Heald, GP2, Kavon Looney, Andrew Wiggins with layups,
02:06Draymond Green with some alluse to TJD,
02:09Moses Moody hitting buckets in the first half.
02:11Like, this was a team win led by the chef.
02:15The chef, I thought, had his signature game.
02:18The guy, if he wanted to lead the league in assists,
02:20I'm convinced he could do it.
02:21There's no doubt about it.
02:23And I don't know, Derek White, you had a really good game.
02:26Can you maybe like realize he's the greatest shooter
02:28of all time and not lay off him?
02:30Jason Tatum, what are you doing?
02:32I just, this team, I wrote so many notes down
02:36from that game, so many notes.
02:38I am so fired up.
02:39Can you?
02:40Well, there's so much going on.
02:41Can you give me the Phil Collins?
02:42Can you just give it to me?
02:43Uh-oh, all right, here we go.
02:44Yes, give me the Phil Collins.
02:45My guy's starting to polymath right before our eyes, man.
02:48No, I'm not.
02:48Right before our eyes.
02:50Let's go, Warrior fans.
02:52Get ready.
02:54Come on, Bontay.
02:59I can feel it coming in the air tonight.
03:05I told you, don't let us beat the Celtics.
03:08I told you.
03:10Four, four-time champion Steph Curry
03:13went into the house that he built.
03:14Game four, you looking at me?
03:15Yeah, New York, I'm looking at you,
03:17the guy through the glass who's the New York Jets fan.
03:18All right, my guy, Justin.
03:19Let him know, hurry is back.
03:21Well, Justin told me, he said-
03:22Trevon Greenthorne laps.
03:24Buddy Heald doing dances.
03:26Buddy freaking Heald.
03:28OJ, the glove fits.
03:29Buddy Heald fits on this team.
03:31Are you kidding me?
03:33Are you kidding me?
03:34Steve Kerr, you know why you didn't play
03:36Jason Tatum at the Olympics?
03:37Because he's an ISO player who has no rhythm to his game.
03:41He was right.
03:42He was right.
03:43They won the gold.
03:45Jason, sit your ass down on the bench.
03:47I can't get over the OJ line.
03:49Go!
03:50GP2, Kevon Looney!
03:52You thought he was done?
03:53How many putbacks did Kevon Looney have last night?
03:56Let's go!
03:5734 offensive rebounds for Lude Dogg.
03:5934 offensive rebounds for Lude Dogg.
04:02OJ, glove fits, I can't get over that.
04:04Lude Dogg-
04:05I don't want to hear from Tatum, Buddy, no.
04:06I don't want to hear from Jason Tatum ever again.
04:09He had 24 in the second half, he was awesome.
04:10But there's no one else going off when he's going off.
04:13It's my turn, you guys get out of the way.
04:15And the Warriors set unbelievable double teams
04:18and I was looking at him all night.
04:19I loved it!
04:21Do you love that?
04:22I bet you players said, they're going to win 50.
04:24I can feel it.
04:25You can feel it now.
04:26You're on a train, baby.
04:28You're on a train right now.
04:28I can feel it.
04:29I can't, I can't stop laughing at that.
04:30I don't ever want to hear Jason Tatum
04:32slam her four-time champion Steve Kerr ever again.
04:36Listen, I can't-
04:38You're not betting to KD.
04:39Sit on the bench.
04:40I can't get over the OJ glove fits.
04:44What?
04:44I love me some pretty-
04:46You're unbelievable.
04:48Bonte, he's got the freshest legs.
04:51He's bouncing around.
04:53I know, it's unbelievable.
04:54It's unbelievable.
04:55The way he's built has been incredible.
04:58It's like, listen, we had no idea
05:01Stephen Curry was going to become this player.
05:03We had no idea.
05:04Once upon a time in Warrior land,
05:05we had no idea who's going to become
05:08possibly one of the 10 greatest players
05:09we've ever seen hit the basketball court.
05:11Ain't that right about Steph?
05:1221 to 27 yesterday, 27 points, nine assists,
05:15seven rebounds, the energy, the emotion,
05:17knowing when to fill it.
05:18He had six assists in the first half
05:20and he's just filling his way out
05:22because he's saying, well, I got help now.
05:24I got Kyle Anderson.
05:25I've got Buddy.
05:26GP2's pressing full court.
05:27We're sending double teams at half court.
05:29We got Lou Dogg with 34 total offensive rebounds,
05:33six last night.
05:34He's in the top five in offensive rebounds per game.
05:36He's leads the league in total offensive rebounds.
05:39Where's Slut Rock at?
05:40Because he came up with the greatest nickname
05:42that I dropped yesterday in a post-game show.
05:44Mr. Windex, because all he does is clean up the damn glass.
05:48And you know what?
05:49All these guys know about last year.
05:52It wasn't just Clay.
05:53It wasn't just CP3.
05:54Lou Dogg took a step back.
05:56GP2 wasn't healthy.
05:58We know what Andrew Wiggins was going through.
05:59He had setbacks.
06:00Kamingo was trying to find his way.
06:02Drayvon missed 27 games.
06:04These guys committed themselves
06:07to this basketball team in the off season
06:09and you could see the work.
06:10You could see the work from Lou.
06:12He shed 35 to 40 pounds.
06:13He looks phenomenal.
06:14He looks phenomenal.
06:15Phenomenal.
06:15GP2's healthy and you see the juice in his legs.
06:18You see the explosiveness.
06:19The timely doubles and traps.
06:22The Warriors didn't do this before.
06:23Now you're bringing Jerry Stackhouse,
06:25a very smart move by Mike Dudley
06:29via his chief courtesy.
06:30You know what?
06:30Let's add some experience to the bench.
06:32You bring in Terry Stotts.
06:33You bring in Jerry Stackhouse.
06:35You bring in Buddy Buckets.
06:36You don't even have D8 to be melting right now.
06:38Slobo's doing shooting heat check threes from the wing.
06:43It was the KD-
06:44The ugliest form I've ever seen when he goes in.
06:46Was that Kevin Durant over LeBron James?
06:48Or was it Kyle Anderson over Sam Houser?
06:50When he pulls up from three to hit three straight threes.
06:53And I'm thinking to myself-
06:54I couldn't believe it.
06:55Maybe this team is something.
06:56Maybe there is something in the air.
06:58Maybe something special is happening.
07:00But they committed themselves to this damn organization
07:02and this team and these group of grown men
07:05are growing right in front of our eyes
07:07and I'm starting to feel it.
07:08I'm saying to myself, I gotta calm down.
07:10Somebody's gotta calm down around here
07:12and just pump the brakes.
07:14And just take it game by game.
07:14I'm telling you, enjoy the journey.
07:16Do not think playoffs.
07:17Do not think Western Conference Finals.
07:19Let's take this team game by game
07:21and just really enjoy the ride.
07:23You got Cleveland on Friday
07:25and I'm already fired up for that game.
07:27But to go into Boston yesterday
07:28and to come out the gate to be ice cold,
07:30Shasky 14-3.
07:31You were frozen.
07:32Frozen!
07:32And then Buddy healed a GP2 check in
07:34and it felt like it flipped the game.
07:35Oh my gosh.
07:36Did it not?
07:37Oh my gosh, it did.
07:38Did it not?
07:39Every game.
07:39Every game, Buddy Buckets and Gary Payton II
07:42have flipped the tenor of the game.
07:43He came off the screen and hit a little like, ah!
07:46Little like fingertip three.
07:47And I go, this fricking guy has been unbelievable.
07:50He has been unbelievable.
07:53Like, honest to God.
07:54Name an athlete who came out of nowhere
07:57who was kind of a journeyman.
07:58Like, I'm trying to be as respectful as possible.
08:01Like, journeyman.
08:02How many?
08:03Four locations?
08:05Yeah, New Orleans, Sacramento, Indiana, Philadelphia.
08:07This is his 15th.
08:08Is he the comeback player of the year?
08:10I know we're two weeks in.
08:12So far, listen, in all these rankings
08:15and player ratings right now,
08:16when it comes to PER and all that stuff,
08:19he's a top 10 player right now in the league.
08:20He had a layup with the left hand on the transition
08:24late in the game.
08:25And then, don't sleep on Andrew Wiggins.
08:27He hit the elbow jumper to take the lead
08:30and it just shut up.
08:32All the Dave Portnoys, all the Sully Sullivan's
08:34from Sully County, all these idiots from Boston.
08:37Nothing is better than shutting that crowd up.
08:40You know what?
08:41The Buddy Hill phenomenon.
08:43It's unreal.
08:44They traded for him and I'm thinking to myself,
08:46well, he couldn't get off the bench in Philadelphia.
08:48What the hell do we know?
08:51If it's dropping a little nuggy nug
08:52that Chris DeMarco or Ron Adams
08:54was around with Team Bahamas and he's there.
08:56And I watched some of those interviews with Team Bahamas
08:58and the way he was speaking.
09:00I was like, huh, interesting.
09:01And then he gets to trade to the Golden State Warriors
09:03and he starts talking about,
09:04yeah, I can't wait to play with Steph,
09:05that system, blah, blah, blah.
09:07I'm saying, okay, cool.
09:09He'll play about 15 minutes a game
09:10and he may get 10 to 12 points a game.
09:13And all right, fine, he'll be a nice role player.
09:16What he's doing and the way he's doing it,
09:19he's moving his legs on defense.
09:21I mean, he got caught up in the air
09:23with Jason Tatum one time, that's fine.
09:24It's gonna happen.
09:26But he's rebounding the bat.
09:27Chesky's rebounding the ball.
09:29He grabbed six rebounds yesterday.
09:31I'm blown away by what I'm seeing from Buddy Hill.
09:34I am blown away and he's all the way bought in.
09:38But then you get GP too and Looney,
09:40and Buddy Hill just said,
09:41man, Looney's the ultimate teammate.
09:44You know how like in a cartoon,
09:46you'll have like the two, whatever,
09:47the two animals will like see each other
09:49and they lock eyes
09:50and the eyes turn into love at first sight?
09:52Right.
09:53That's what Warrior fans are with Buddy Hill right now.
09:54It's unbelievable.
09:55He has been perfect.
09:57The way Chef was high-fiving him after that three,
10:00I was like, oh my God.
10:02What is going on here?
10:03I felt like Adrian Peterson.
10:04When I seen him hit that shot,
10:06I said, oh my God.
10:08Dude, and he has to back,
10:10what I love though,
10:11it's the little things.
10:12And I can't wait to ask him about this.
10:14Whenever he's on the bench and he's got the warmup on,
10:17he has a basketball in his hands.
10:19He has a basketball in his hands.
10:21And it's almost like he's,
10:22he's, you know,
10:23there's always those guys
10:24that got a basketball in his hands.
10:24And I'm thinking to myself,
10:26this guy's interesting.
10:27I got to get to know this guy.
10:29And he's smiling around everywhere.
10:30But listen to what he said about the statement game,
10:32because you know what?
10:33It was a statement game
10:34that puts the NBA back on notice.
10:36The NBA knows now,
10:38uh-oh, uh-oh,
10:40the Golden State Warriors might be back.
10:42We better start bringing our lunch pails to them.
10:44Here's what Buddy Hill said about the statement.
10:46Well, what do you think?
10:46I mean, it's just a statement.
10:48If we don't win this game,
10:49everybody's like, oh,
10:50they didn't play nobody.
10:50You know, so,
10:52so you got to come make a statement, right?
10:54And on the road, so,
10:55you know,
10:56that's how the basketball world talks.
10:57You know, if you,
10:58they say we haven't played nobodies yet.
10:59So we battle tested and got to see if it's real.
11:03The best version of the Warriors
11:06is the chip on the shoulder, hungry.
11:08I'm out to shove it into everyone's face, Warriors.
11:11This is,
11:11it's,
11:12to doubt this team,
11:13it's Steph,
11:14it's Draymond,
11:15it's Steve.
11:16And that's,
11:16everybody's getting credit today.
11:17Because Steve Kerr's pulling all the right strings.
11:19Doug Levy's making all the right moves.
11:21Everybody's bought in.
11:22Kamika's shifting to the bench and bringing energy,
11:25defending Tatum.
11:26And they were calling us a weak foul,
11:27but I don't care.
11:27Kamika's playing well.
11:29Kamika's playing well.
11:30I thought Wiggins did a great job.
11:31Wiggins activity and his energy.
11:33And you know,
11:34he would have had 21.
11:35William brought it up in the post game.
11:37He goes,
11:37look, if he doesn't smoke the layup,
11:39and remember he hit the shot,
11:40but they said he stepped out of bounds.
11:41That's 21 right there.
11:43Wiggins,
11:44if you look beyond the box score,
11:45had an excellent game.
11:46Excellent game.
11:47So I just love where this team is at right now.
11:49Eight, eight, eight, nine, five, seven, nine, five, seven,
11:51zero.
11:52I need to hear from Dubnation.
11:52It can't just be us right now.
11:54It can't just be us that are having this feeling right now.
11:56After what we saw on TD Garden,
11:58a place they got beat by 52 points
12:01last March 3rd.
12:02They got beat by 52 by that team.
12:05Ponte,
12:06you,
12:07you are being watching every second of this team
12:11with a fine tooth comb,
12:12since you've been doing that.
12:13And before,
12:14even going back.
12:15But I'm talking about really,
12:16really diving deep.
12:17Yeah.
12:18When was the last time they won a game like this?
12:21Cause this was like a prize fight.
12:22Yeah, it was.
12:23Boston,
12:24big shot across the jaw.
12:25Warriors,
12:26big shot across Boston's jaw.
12:28Back and forth.
12:29The third quarter,
12:29I'm thinking,
12:31oh boy.
12:32Fourth quarter,
12:32back and forth,
12:33and back and forth.
12:34It was exactly how we talked about it yesterday.
12:36I don't want one team to take the lead
12:38and then,
12:39you know,
12:40come back late and win late.
12:40No, no, no.
12:41It was,
12:42let's trade blows.
12:43Let's trade blows.
12:45You know,
12:47they had some wins last year.
12:48I don't want to just say everything is
12:50What's what I'm asking.
12:51They had the Phoenix win the night before the Superbowl
12:53with Steph Curry hit the big shot.
12:55That's true.
12:55That was a body blow game.
12:56They came back against the Celtics last year
12:58at Chase Center when they were 12 and 14.
13:01They had a big win over Milwaukee,
13:02but they're far and in between.
13:04But here's the deal.
13:05The expectations for this team
13:07compared to the last two teams were not as high.
13:10We had no idea what this team was going to look like.
13:12There was optimism and it was freshness,
13:15but I remember in the show meeting,
13:17I'm not going to say who,
13:18I'm not going to say who.
13:19It wasn't you,
13:19but it showed me,
13:20I remember somebody said,
13:21well, I'm not really that excited.
13:23Are they really that much better than last year?
13:25There was a lot of people like that said,
13:27we just don't know.
13:29So the expectations in the bar was,
13:30it was so low for this team, Shaski,
13:32and so far they're exceeding the expectation
13:35that everybody had.
13:36Now, we were happy that,
13:38hey, we're going to see something fresh.
13:39They didn't get the loyalty contracts out.
13:41They tried to turn the page
13:43and we had to say goodbye to an absolute legend.
13:45That happened and we'll see him on Tuesday night
13:47when the Dallas Mavericks come to town.
13:50But now that you got a buddy who's bought in,
13:53they go to Hawaii in training camp.
13:54Whatever happened to Hawaii,
13:56they need to go to Hawaii every year for training camp
13:59and we're crying out loud.
14:00They're doing yoga together and we're all laughing,
14:01but you know what?
14:02Something out there in Hawaii,
14:03they bought in and they committed to their roles.
14:06And that's the one thing, Shaski,
14:08that's the one thing that I'm going to keep harping on here
14:09with the Warriors.
14:11Because I do think yesterday
14:12was a feather in a cap type win,
14:13but I want to get greedy.
14:14I want Friday and I want Sunday.
14:16I want to beat OKC.
14:17I want to beat Cleveland.
14:18And there's no doubt about that.
14:19To really take this league by storm.
14:22But the way Steve Kerr has defined everybody's roles
14:26in the first two weeks of the season,
14:28that was something we didn't have last year.
14:29This is a top five offense and defense right now.
14:32Yep.
14:34That's the recipe for winning in the modern game.
14:36But real quick, on the roles though,
14:37because last year we always talked about
14:39whether so-and-so's going to the pitch
14:41or this guy's starting or this guy's not happy.
14:44These guys had defined roles
14:46and they have them before the season started.
14:48And I think that helps,
14:49I think that does wonders for a basketball team
14:51when you know what you need to do
14:53when you get out there on the floor.
14:54Well, there's no doubt about it,
14:55but also you're playing the hot hands, right?
14:58And you're kind of going with form.
14:59And so, to me, it's like a double-edged,
15:02like they're doubling down on everything.
15:04Like, hey, the rotations are going to be based off
15:06who's playing well and who gives us our best opportunity.
15:08Look, I've been wanting to make trades
15:10and get rid of this guy and get rid of that guy.
15:13I mean, depth on any given night,
15:15it's a different sword that's stabbing the opponent.
15:17I haven't heard Giannis' name this entire week.
15:21I haven't heard it.
15:21Well, I mean, you keep playing like you did
15:23the other night.
15:24I mean, Curry looks galvanized.
15:26Curry looks phenomenal.
15:28I mean, the shots that these guys were getting
15:29against a great defense in Boston, right?
15:32I know they're missing their best defensive player
15:34or second best, depending on how you view Drew.
15:37And then, I don't know if you noticed it,
15:38there were multiple occasions where Boston,
15:40because Dre has actually hit some threes this year,
15:43they closed out on him.
15:45He went right by through the alley to TJD.
15:48Unbelievable.
15:49And how about Drew?
15:50And how about Fins?
15:50Where are you?
15:51Yo, they're 8-8-8, 9-5-7, 9-5-7-0.
15:54How about Dre about hitting a big free throw
15:55to seal the deal?
15:56Dre about green, 5-6 for the free throw line last night.
15:59The Warriors overall as a team, in the fourth quarter,
16:02they've been missing their free throws.
16:03They missed a ton the other night in Washington, D.C.
16:05They missed 18 against Houston Saturday night.
16:0912-13 in the fourth quarter last night in Boston
16:12from the free throw line.
16:14So they knocked their free throws down.
16:16Steph was 7-7.
16:17Dre 5-6.
16:18I love where this team is at.
16:208-8-8, 9-5-7, 9-5-7-0.
16:22Come on, Warrior fans.
16:23I know we got a Niners game on Sunday.
16:25They got a huge game.
16:27But this Warriors team, this organization,
16:29they may just be back.
16:31And think about what they're not doing.
16:33We haven't heard from Joe Lacob in a while.
16:35We haven't heard from Mike Dellevie in a while.
16:37They're laying in the cut,
16:39watching this thing brew.
16:40It percolates, Zaski.
16:41I can see it in your eyes.
16:42I can see it.
16:43I can see it.
16:44You're ready to roll.
16:45Come on.
16:46I couldn't sleep last night.
16:47I was so happy.
16:48I was so hyped up.
16:48I was so hyped up.
16:49I was so hyphy.
16:51I called Mark Grandy on the post-game show.
16:53Oh my God.
16:54No, you didn't.
16:56What did you call him?
16:57Swear to God.
16:57Because I was listening to Grandy.
16:58I didn't hear you.
16:59Oh my God.
17:00I must have just parked the car.
17:01You must have.
17:02I was on fire.
17:03Oh, wow.
17:03Oh, this guy's hijacked Grandy's show.
17:05Well, Grandy, I could feel that he needed a little help.
17:08He didn't need no help.
17:09You know, sometimes the fire needs a little oxygen.
17:11Listen, I was listening to Grandy
17:12and I was like, okay, he's got it.
17:14Because every day I get in the car
17:15and I hear either Grandy, Evan Gittings,
17:17and the other night, Lubbock.
17:18And I look at my phone.
17:19I said, maybe I should just...
17:21And I was like, no, I'm going to let them boys cook.
17:23They're rolling.
17:24Yeah, see, I don't have that kind of discipline.
17:26Yeah, no, you don't.
17:27You don't have that kind of space.
17:28Oh, man.
17:32I need you to get me my music.
17:34I need Vince McMahon.
17:35No chance in hell.
17:37I need that coming back.
17:38I don't think we want to bring up that name.
17:40Because I am walking in.
17:41No chance.
17:42That's what I'm going to say to Boston every time.
17:44They don't want to see us in the finals.
17:46You don't need Vince McMahon.
17:47That's not, you've already,
17:48you brought up Vince, you brought up Paul Jay.
17:50Let's chill.
17:51No, no, no, don't talk about that.
17:51We need, let's chill.
17:52I want to have a job by 10 o'clock this morning.
