Transcript
00:00Talking to myself in the caddy. It was actually profound, but you are right Stiney teams that fire their coach
00:06They're the best version of themselves that first game after and if you watch the Bears this season
00:12I mean, they've been in games Donnie
00:14So I guess I'm saying that to say this won't be easy Sunday for the Niners
00:18But Drake Greenlawn might be back for the Rams that following Thursday night here in at Levi's
00:24So that's could you imagine if somebody could just get hot?
00:28I'm not right now. I can't imagine how they could somehow get high get that but maybe they can maybe they can oh
00:36Oh
00:39We all right
00:41You don't get those alerts, and I'm getting bothered. They don't care about me at AT&T
00:47Okay, let's get to the crux of the matter tsunami warning is that what it is for where I thought it was for goose waves
00:53Oh
00:55That's a four Wow, that's a four
00:58And now it vanished
01:00But you should have it on silent, but even that's going off. Yeah, exactly so it's not on my phone
01:09Steve who are the Warriors?
01:12We are a really good team. We're fourth in the league in defense
01:16We have not made shots during this stretch, which is seen on the modern NBA often just
01:23The difference between winning and losing who's making threes and who's not and
01:28Right now we're not making threes, and I think in the midst of that we lost a little confidence. We lost a little
01:35defensive edge and
01:37So I think that you know while we're on in the midst of this streak
01:40I still see a really good team with great chemistry great energy guys care about each other and work hard
01:47And I'm confident that we can stay relatively healthy
01:51but you know what you've seen through 20 games is it's who we are which is a 50-win team and
01:57You just you know, it's never perfectly linear how you get there
02:01You're gonna have some good stretches and some bad stretches and we've obviously had both
02:05But I really like this team and I think we're gonna be really good
02:09I believe he believes that but I got to tell you from a fan standpoint
02:13I wish right now today after 20
02:16they were a two or three seed because we got off to that great start, but now it's starting to
02:22Reality setting in and when you look at the Warriors and they're above 500 Sonny
02:27They're still in the now the plan and I know there's six there's six. I thought I had him at seven here
02:33I thought they were six. I mean the Wolves are howling, but they're still in 10th or 11 last night
02:39I think you feel good
02:41Um, if you can be honest, yeah, it's not either six. You're right. Okay on the plan
02:46So let's get let's let's get into a war your fans at eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seven zero is a number
02:53It's a simple question
02:54You think this team's a 50-win team?
02:58Because if you think it's a 50-win team then this is just a bump in the road
03:03Which is understandable because you're gonna go through highs and lows
03:08But the question is do you think they're a 50-win team like Steve Kerr and
03:13If I'd have to bet right now, and he's saying 50. I
03:17Got to take the under I would take the under and you could say Oh guru again
03:23Stony with Melton, I'll bet the 50 over without him and no more. He's not gonna be here. No, no, it's not coming back
03:29I hope I'm wrong. It wouldn't be the first time on a bit, but I'm taking the under
03:33I think I'd have to take the under two and the cold part about this
03:38We talked about it with the Niners their lives and everything is still in front of them because of the division
03:43They're in so they still got action Stony. We saw it last year, man
03:47You could say hey individually we won 46 for but if it's not good enough
03:52It's not good enough and last year wasn't and that's what's bothering me too is they're in the Western Conference
03:58well, that's not gonna change and
04:01While it works for the 49ers it don't work for the for the Warriors and
04:06you know the whole thing about how many games you have to win like a lot of that's out of your control and
04:13We saw that the last two years. They won 44 two years ago was good enough for six
04:1846 last year couldn't get him out of the plan. But what's that tell you?
04:23It tells me that 44 could get you six this year, but 49 might not be enough
04:29well and to me
04:30That means your conference is also getting better, too
04:34exactly exactly and and the conferences young teams are starting to get more and more experience and
04:41Yes, or no warrior fans. Are you buying Steve Kerr saying that this is a 50-win team?
04:48It doesn't look like one the last five games. All right, it kind of looked like one the first 12, man
04:55So, what do you guys think warrior fans you just kind of hold the line right here with this squad
05:01Assuming that Steph and Draymond are gonna be managed
05:04Let's just say managed well over this stretch and maybe they'll just miss a couple games and they'll be right back at it
05:10I mean that to me is the other thing. It's
05:13it's not that
05:15If Steph and Draymond both play 60 to 65 games to me, there's a difference between well, how's it managed?
05:23Like I don't want him we can't have one of those guys missing
05:2715 games in a row man
05:29Now I think we can't overcome and when I say we I'm talking as a warrior fan, but I think we could overcome
05:36load management that
05:39Picks a guy out of the lineup here and there when he needs a break
05:42But I do think there's a difference there in if you're gonna get to 60 or 65 games
05:46How do you get there now?
05:48I want to just double back to West Oakland Holloway's call because the Warriors were a dynasty, right?
05:53and I think it's unfair to say they missed on their first round picks when a lot of times they were at the bottom, but how
06:00how
06:02Fair is it that they did have doing before they won their last championship the number two pick and it didn't hit
06:07How fair is it of what he was?
06:11Insinuating that they haven't hit on those picks
06:14Top Moody coming to Wiseman. It's very fair. It's very fair and I'm with you
06:20I thought that the Warriors got hammered too hard
06:23when they were drafting at the back of the first round bales for
06:27Picking players that you have to kind of take a chance on and they hit on a couple loony
06:33Jordan Bell helped him for a couple years, but they also had what Jacob Evans somebody who didn't pan out and then eventually
06:39Yeah
06:41Pascal's another one, but I mean he wasn't a high pick but no when you have the number two pick and now
06:48He's turned into nobody. He's literally nobody
06:53That's a problem. And then Jonathan Kaminga as his number seven pick
06:59You know, I actually think you picked an 18 year old at number seven
07:04It's still not a bad pick. I don't think Kaminga was a bad pick. I just think
07:09We have to be prepared for to wait a little longer for him to reach his potential and Moody
07:17You know, do you have that time to wait that that and that again this notion I'm glad you brought that up
07:22I'm glad you brought that up. I don't think you do. Well, and that's
07:28That's what's
07:31Unsolvable to me like when you when we and I'm not saying you're there like that's the point and
07:36That's what I'm talking about with Steph Curry when you to me when you talk about we got to maximize
07:41Steph's window then all of a sudden there's an unbelievable time constraint on
07:47What you have to do and how fast you have to do it?
07:51And that sounds to me like a little place of desperation. Well, no doubt. Well, then that's a
07:57Urgency then how often does there's a guy hit a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to win a game
08:03I mean is it feels like sometimes that's what we're that's what we're expecting and I I
08:08Just think the more I think about it. Maybe we were a little unrealistic about the expectations of this team
08:15Once they got off to that ten and to start and when you say we they is in the organization, right?
08:20Because you could say what you want about pods what he did last year and I'm and I said this last year you tell me
08:27If I'm frontin because I'm not lying as much as I love pods the impact he had
08:33I thought was an indictment on other guys on the roster that that
08:38Opportunity was there for a first-year player to come and seize it and he did
08:43But what if Jonathan Kaminga could have and I know you're gonna say people out there
08:47Oh Toronto and and the magic aren't playing high leverage basketball games
08:51But it could be if furred that further down the road like a Wagner and Scotty Barnes just in regard to his game
08:58What would he then be and what would this team be?
09:02Like they're dying for
09:04Kaminga to take the bull by the horns and he can't crack the starting lineup if a guy's not injured and I'm not saying he
09:11can't or won't but right now study the siren is red for me that they need that infusion of something and
