00:00And let's listen to this. Listen to this right out of the gate.
00:03115-113 Sacramento.
00:07Curry on the far away. Takes a deep three off the dribble.
00:11Spins away. Ball deflected. Loose ball, Fox. Fox on the go.
00:15Takes it in. Goes up. Foul by Post.
00:19I think that was a frustration.
00:23I'm not able to get a shot when I call for a screen and roll
00:27by Steph. But not that he couldn't make it. He almost did.
00:30But he hadn't got a shot off in a long time.
00:34It's just tough because I think for him to get off shots,
00:37it's almost better not to bring in the screener.
00:40Then they just double him. Then they just bring in extra defenders.
00:42Yeah, exactly.
00:43Thank you, Tommy.
00:45That's exactly the way I felt.
00:48That was with a minute and a half to go of a two-point basketball game
00:53featuring Rivalry Week in the NBA.
00:56Stop. Against the Little Adorables
00:59who you'd been pounding all night long.
01:01But here they come.
01:02They've got the lead.
01:03It's late fourth of a two-point basketball game.
01:06And Stephen Curry walked across half-court, surveyed the court
01:12the way he masterfully does for the last decade and a half.
01:16He looked at everything.
01:17He thought about what was going on and he decided in that moment
01:22the best thing that I can do is launch from 34 feet.
01:30And to me, whether you want to call it frustration, giving up on the process,
01:36whatever it is, it was Steph Curry saying, I can't do this anymore.
01:41It's not working.
01:43The rest of you are not doing what you're supposed to do.
01:47Our process is not working.
01:49So even the greatest shooter of all time is putting up a shot
01:54that in that moment is what, at best, a 30% proposition?
01:58Yeah, probably 25% from more than 30 feet.
02:02And I think you're right.
02:04And I wish that I could say that you're over-dramatizing it,
02:07but it was more than just a night of frustration
02:11where he was being guarded and hounded everywhere.
02:13It was the last four or five minutes that preceded that
02:16where you had missed layups, you had bad turnovers, you had missed shots,
02:20you had an offense that really wasn't amounting to much of anything.
02:24And you don't have Kaminga, you don't have Draymond,
02:27there's no pods, there's no slow-mo.
02:29You're running around with Guy, Lindy, and Quinton.
02:32And no disrespect to that trio.
02:34No, but the closing lineup is wild.
02:36It's wild.
02:37Wild! Go ahead.
02:38I mean, you got Guy, Lindy, and Quinton for a lot of the night.
02:42Quinton Post!
02:43Right, which I like his game.
02:45I do, too!
02:46I like the player, but he's probably a couple years away from being a couple years away,
02:51and Guy has flashed, and Lindy's a neat story,
02:54but if you're Steph, you're thinking,
02:56man, I miss Klay and KD and Iguodala and Sean Livingston
03:01and, like, the other guys that I made my bones with.
03:04So you're Steph, and in the moment, you're thinking,
03:07I'm open, I'm 34 feet away,
03:09but this is probably our best chance at a bucket right now.
03:13Me, hoisting from 34.
03:15He walked across half court, and he said,
03:17I've got one and a half seconds of space left,
03:20and I will not find it again if I don't fire.
03:23And if I don't fire, and I decide to run the offense,
03:27what is that going to lead to?
03:28What's it going to lead to?
03:30A turnover.
03:31Or?
03:32A missed shot.
03:33Or both.
03:34A blocked shot.
03:35Right, right.
03:36Something, something that will not equal points,
03:40so I'll shoot.
03:43Yeah.
03:45And honestly, a Curry 34-footer that's open is,
03:48I mean, not a, like, once upon a time,
03:51there were bench players in OKC who covered their face
03:54when he did that.
03:55Right.
03:55Because they knew that bang was about to happen.
03:57Yeah, double bang.
03:58Yeah.
03:59So it's not a terrible shot,
04:01but I'm totally with you in your analysis, like,
04:05I'm not coming down Steph's road at all.
04:08No.
04:09What I'm saying is, for me,
04:11that was the moment of the year.
04:17Everybody who wants to go,
04:18you know what Steph was saying at that press conference?
04:21It's a white flag.
04:22Do you know what Steph was saying over here?
04:24He's telling the organization, go get me.
04:26No.
04:27That was a message.
04:30That was the moment where he sent a message.
04:34And it's not passive-aggressive.
04:36It's literally somebody going,
04:38I can't do this anymore.
04:40We can't.
04:42We can't do it.
04:44We cannot run offense
04:46in the National Basketball Association
04:49with two minutes to go of a close game
04:52and get a good look.
04:53And you don't need to just use last night
04:56as an example.
04:57We have examples in almost every clutch game.
05:00Sometimes they grind it out.
05:02But the bottom line is, is you've watched,
05:04if you've watched Warrior Hoops at all this year,
05:06you know that in the final five minutes of games,
05:10coming up with a clean look
05:12is a hell of a fight.
05:15It is a hell of a fight.
05:17And Steph, on a given night where
05:20he was actually out there with G-leaguers in many cases,
05:25he just said,
05:26I don't have the fight in me on this possession.
05:30So, uncle.
05:33That's what that moment said to me.
05:36And I don't think you're wrong.
05:38And I also want to give some credit to Stiney
05:40for what he's been laying out
05:42about the Steph getting older conundrum
05:45because when you are 6'3",
05:48and I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt
05:49because I know you've stood next to him
05:51and you're 6'2'' and change
05:52and you seem to think that you look eye-to-eye with the chef.
05:56I do.
05:56So, and you're probably 6'2", 2 1⁄2".
05:59Who knows?
05:59Whatever.
06:00With your birthday coming up, you're only getting shorter.
06:02We know that.
06:03But however tall he is,
06:05he doesn't have the ability as an older player
06:08to do what LeBron does
06:09because LeBron, at 40,
06:12he can still grown man you
06:14because he's 6'8", 2 1⁄2".
06:16Right.
06:16He can grown man you.
06:17And KD, who is 6'13",
06:20he can still, at whatever how old he is,
06:2233, 34.
06:24I think he's 35, actually.
06:25He's getting up there too.
06:27But he can still,
06:28much like Kobe could,
06:29even post-Achilles,
06:30less post-Achilles,
06:31but Kobe can get to his spot
06:34and turnaround jumper you
06:35and there's nothing you could do.
06:36Michael Jordan, same thing.
06:38Did you know that Kevin Durant's actually already 36?
06:40It's possible.
06:41No, it's true.
06:42Why? You're about to be 50 any minute now, so.
06:45I got
06:47quick math.
06:486,
06:499,
06:519 hours and 40 minutes.
06:52Yeah.
06:53And I think we should play.
06:54Although, do you do the,
06:56do you do the
06:58the actual time of day
06:59or just the day?
07:01Like,
07:02do I turn 50 at midnight tonight?
07:04Yes.
07:04Or do I turn 50 when I was actually,
07:06like the time that I was actually born?
07:08Well,
07:09interesting you say that because
07:11honestly, if you want to talk about
07:13like how old you really are,
07:14you're already 50
07:16because of leap years.
07:18You've already had
07:1914 leap, you know,
07:2112 leap years in your life.
07:22That's less fun.
07:24Exactly.
07:24That's less fun.
07:24I don't want to look at it that way.
07:25And I don't,
07:26honestly,
07:27I can't even tell you what time I was born.
07:29I don't remember it.
07:30Oh, you don't?
07:30It's written down.
07:31It is.
07:32It's on your birth certificate.
07:33Yeah, you should pull it up and check it.
07:34I don't really remember.
07:35Maybe you're only 52.
07:37Who knows?
07:38You should go look.
07:39Yeah.
07:40You should look.
07:40Turn back the clock on that thing.
07:42920 tomorrow morning.
07:43Yeah.
07:44920 tomorrow morning.
07:45I'll make sure to text you.
07:47Please do.
07:47Yeah.
07:48Please do.
07:48Happy birth minute.
07:50Freaking AARP thing showed up in the mail yesterday.
07:52Dude,
07:53they are relentless.
07:54They will find you.
07:55I'm like,
07:56get off my lawn.
07:57What are you doing?
07:58Yep.
07:59Like,
07:59give me my last two days.
08:01No.
08:01Jerks.
08:02No.
08:03AARP is like the IRS.
08:06They're going to find you now.
08:07They're going to find you now.
08:08And then they got that trunk organizer that they offer you.
08:11Everything.
08:11I'm like,
08:12yeah,
08:12not bad.
08:13Not bad.
08:14Let's go to Bill in San Jose.
08:15I'd hold out for the walker.
08:21Bill in San Jose.
08:22Hi, Bill.
08:23What are you doing?
08:25I'm driving over to the gym,
08:27but
08:28you,
08:28I thought exactly what you thought.
08:30I thought,
08:31shit,
08:31death.
08:32But here's what I thought.
08:33That's just take that shot.
08:36Because otherwise,
08:37we're going to lose anyway.
08:39You know,
08:40I thought exactly that.
08:41Yep.
08:42And I think,
08:43I think the problem is,
08:44is like,
08:46Kerr doesn't have an answer for the devil teams.
08:49Jeff is bringing up the ball,
08:51getting pressed full court the whole game because he's the only ball handler they got.
08:57And I just don't see,
08:58I don't see an answer.
09:00You know,
09:01I think of any play,
09:02any team in the league that gets double team,
09:04a player gets double team like that.
09:06The rest of the team should take over and do it.
09:10And the Warriors can't do it.
09:11And I'm at least not right now.
09:13Bill,
09:13you're,
09:14you're dead spot on.
09:15I agree with you.
09:16Thanks for calling.
09:18And have a good workout,
09:20Bill.
09:21Like,
09:21let me just say this.
09:22This is,
09:24God,
09:24I hate these words that are,
09:25I'm about to utter,
09:28but check this out.
09:30How many phone calls,
09:33tweets,
09:34and texts,
09:36and hey,
09:36the YouTube chat is back.
09:37Y'all,
09:37you can do that too.
09:38Whatever.
09:39Yeah,
09:39whatever way you interact with us.
09:43How many times have we either had a Warrior fan?
09:49Try to explain who to blame or how many times has one of the radio shows on
09:5595,
09:55seven,
09:56the game basically turned into that,
09:58right?
09:59I'm even having guru like I can hear him in my,
10:02in my head right now.
10:03So who's it on?
10:06It isn't on anyone.
10:09There isn't an answer.
10:13I'm really sorry to tell you that it's kind of like picking up the Rubik's Cube.
10:19At least if my brain works the way it does.
10:22Um,
10:23I,
10:23Christie and I were looking at,
10:25uh,
10:25looking at the place where I think is going to be our,
10:27uh,
10:27our wedding site earlier today.
10:29Okay.
10:30No joke.
10:30We're out there.
10:31Okay.
10:32And,
10:33uh,
10:33we,
10:33we,
10:35thank you.
10:36It,
10:36uh,
10:36it,
10:37it went fantastic and we went out there and met with some people and everything
10:44was,
10:44uh,
10:45was going fantastic,
10:46right?
10:47And,
10:48uh,
10:48we meet with a gentleman who's,
10:50who's son.
10:51He is an expert on the Rubik's Cube.
10:56And I was fascinated by this.
10:58I was totally fascinated by this because I'm like,
11:00my brain doesn't work that way.
11:02If you gave me a year with a Rubik's Cube,
11:06I would end up just taking all of the stickers off and,
11:11uh,
11:11and,
11:11and,
11:12and replacing them because that's the only way that I,
11:17that I'd be able to,
11:18uh,
11:18to do it.
11:19That's the only way that I'd be able to do it.
11:21Yeah.
11:21For me,
11:23I look at the Rubik's Cube and I go,
11:27there is no,
11:27yeah,
11:28there is no answer.
11:31By the way,
11:32shout out Sonny Garcia.
11:33That's who we were meeting with out there.
11:35He's an awesome guy and he's explaining this all.
11:38And I'm like,
11:38yeah,
11:38there is no answer.
11:39And that's how I feel right now.
11:41Unfortunately about warrior basketball,
11:44that you're allowed to make moves.
11:46You're allowed to improve this.
11:48But right now,
11:48dude,
11:50stop blaming people.
11:51There's no answer.
11:53Wiggins,
11:54Santos,
11:55TJD,
11:56Moody and Curry.
11:58That was your finishing five.
11:59Say it again.
12:00Wiggins,
12:01Santos,
12:02TJD,
12:04Moody and Curry.
12:05Now that was not the finishing,
12:07finishing five because eventually Buddy came in and what not.
12:10Post came in.
12:11Post came in.
12:12So you're running down the stretch with Post and TJD and Guy and Steph is
12:19supposed to like,
12:20you know what?
12:20We're going to go to,
12:21we're going to go to Quentin here because we need a bucket with two minutes
12:24to go in the ball game.
12:25That's where we're at.
12:26And no disrespect to these guys,
12:27but everyone wants to maximize the Steph era and Steve Kerr in a tight game
12:32of Sacramento with two minutes to go is like,
12:35let's go to Quentin Post.
12:36Here comes his fourth NBA game.
12:38Let's go to Guy.
12:39Let's go to.
