00:00Pods can dunk now back to Stiney and guru on 95 7 the game
00:06alrighty, I
00:09Need help we all do I
00:14Got one question about yesterday's show okay, and norm asked me and I'm a hash y'all
00:19Did y'all argue no not one time no in fact of me
00:24Hold on in fact no, I'll tell you exactly what
00:31Somebody already commented on the text line
00:33Evan caught me on a day where I was just processing what everybody was saying and
00:40You know I didn't give myself a 10-minute cooling off period and so I started asking myself
00:46Really do this and of course. I was yes. They can do it. I mean, it's yeah
00:522% chance but
00:54but now butlers yapping and everybody's yapping and
00:58How did we just jump the title again go ahead and answers questions?
01:02I was just looking out for my guy no
01:05Maybe it's cuz I'm not as as optimistic usually and so he doesn't feel like he has to just combat everything that I say with a
01:12With a glass there you go. I got thank you Evan all right. Yeah, boy 7 1 8 no one's talking championship besides Stiney
01:20Oh, yeah, how about Jimmy Butler fresh off a trip from Dubai my pockets gonna feel it from the taxis
01:26But you know the taxes were great and in Miami, but I'm so happy over there organizations top-notch
01:33Obviously you know I get to play with Steph, so I'm a fan of him just like
01:3899.9% of the the world and you know a chance of winning the championship what more can you ask for and Ramon's on the team?
01:46Get along quite well a lot of dominoes
01:50It's fun as well. Oh, he's the best and you don't realize how great he is and to
01:55Actually get on his team and how smart and how he'll do anything to win and I respect that the most out of anything
02:02It's all about winning all the time with that dude. I'm learning
02:05Alright Wow's there it is. I'm learning and he said when he wins a championship
02:10He's gonna bring his championship bring back to Dubai for everybody to see so they basically win a
02:15My man Barbosa win championship
02:18I
02:19Like this one. Yeah, I bet Evan gets a kick out of this room from the 415
02:24I'm all for positivity, but when a guy on Market Street tells me he's the king of England I
02:31Dismiss him
02:32Draymond claiming the 2025 title not much different
02:37That's pretty good. That is good. That is good
02:41All right, can I give you a dose of reality right here man? Oh?
02:45Oh
02:46Everybody won't change change me, but go ahead. I
02:50All right, if I would I almost want to I almost want to be
02:55Positive no adversarial to get reactions today
03:00Because clearly even though curry Butler and Draymond Green have been in the league for a long time clearly
03:07They don't know the league's history
03:09Clearly, they don't know anything about the past and about what gets it done
03:15See I'm trying to get my under people's skin. I can't wait to hear
03:22The Golden State
03:26Like I can't even say do you realize that if they win it
03:32something because
03:33This will go ahead what they're attempting to do would probably be
03:40One of the most
03:43Unbelievable
03:45Stories of all time in sports. I mean at least when they want it in
03:492022 they still went in as a third seed, but they didn't get but I'm gonna say this to that if
03:55Somehow they pull this off it would make more basketball sense than what?
04:002022 did how they did that starting to me they got up to that great start and but to win it all
04:07Without the likes of a Kevin Durant and Jimmy Butler that will always be the one I never saw coming
04:14All I'm telling you guys right now is when you tell me Jimmy Steph and Dre
04:19from a basketball standpoint that makes sense a
04:23Deep run in the playoffs, but because they this season's been so stinky previously
04:29They got a really the margin of error stand man that that's all I got I'm starting to think they don't even have a margin
04:35Well, it's so good. Yeah, you feel more confident that this team can win a title
04:40Then on February 19th
04:432022 that that team could win a title. Yes, because that's our team 39 no doubt about it
04:5014 at this point. Oh Evan to your but you to your point now here you're starting I
04:56And again, this is not an indictment on Wiggins
04:59But I'm a name recognition guy
05:00And I just felt like as great as that season was
05:04Shaping up to be it would come to an end in the playoffs and it didn't
05:09this one now with the emergence and the acquisition of Jimmy buckets Donnie, I just look at his resume and
05:17And again, the hard part of this is where they're at. But if they get in
05:22Then I would not come in here if it manifested and somehow them getting to the finals and winning it
05:28From a basketball standpoint, I wouldn't be surprised now. They're trying to do this on the fly
05:34if
05:35This team wins a title
05:37It will be the most unique title in the last 50 years
05:43So you're putting it over 20 22. Oh my god. Yes, and here's why
05:50When the playoffs start this year Curry's gonna be 37 who
05:55Draymond Greene's gonna be 35 and Jimmy Butler's gonna be 35. That's their core, right? That's their core
06:04Wow, see I did last night
06:06That looks like Oppenheimer's. I'm holding it up to the screen. Yeah, this is what I did last night
06:12I'm sick. I
06:14Went through every NBA champion back to
06:181975 oh man, and there is no team
06:21No team
06:23That had a core
06:25Anywhere close to as old as the Golden State Warriors. It's not even close
06:30The Spurs last one which well, okay with that. I'll tell you Spurs last one over the heat. Tony Parker was 31
06:40Duncan was 37. Okay, Leonard was 22
06:43Kawhi Leonard was 22 and Ginobili was 36 Parker was probably the best player on that team at 31
06:50But again
06:53Tim Duncan was a center and he was a role player then he he was almost not even in the core
07:00Well, yeah our 22 year old again, I know I know you never liked it the count would be coming and Kawhi's ahead of
07:07Kaminga, Boston last year
07:10at Tatum 25 Brown 27 Denver
07:14Jokic 27 Murray 25 Gordon 27 mp3 24 that yeah, I got you, Milwaukee
07:22Giannis 26 Middleton 29 holiday 30
07:26Toronto
07:27Kawhi Leonard 27 Siakam 24
07:31Lowry 32 a baka 29
07:33the Warriors in
07:362022 curry was 33 green was 31 Thompson was 31
07:40Like that's that's the
07:43One I can't argue with that the one right and even that team goo had
07:48Wiggins was 26 and pools 22. I can't lose that you're gonna win and I appreciate the lab works
07:55Donnie I can't I can't those are facts. Those are numbers, but
08:00What if I do you allowed me to do this?
08:02Just look at the state of the Western Con and I disagree with people on this one
08:07Again I'm not throwing rocks it in any team
08:10But right now we're looking at OKC and rightfully so is the standard but yet
08:15How much pedigree do they really have in regard to a deep playoff run?
08:20Then you look at the Young Rockets
08:22You look at Minnesota all who have accumulated a better record than the Warriors
08:26But if the Warriors earn it and get into a series
08:30Stoney I think that a what what I series they have to win for that series. Yes, listen
08:37Here's all here's the only point. I'm gonna make from the 650. This is what I agree with and
08:42This is what?
08:45Can somebody explain to me why we've jumped to the finals already?
08:49650 says can we make the playoffs? Okay. I got it. I got it. This is so premature
08:54But the players are
08:57Not just me not radio here. So why are they saying it cuz they I believe they feel it
09:03Stoney I really do in there and and they want the smoke and that's why the words came out of their mouth to
09:11To let dub nation know and maybe themselves Stoney
09:14Maybe their teammates like they're looking around the league like if we can get in we got some major action
09:21That's what I love about it. It's not just guru saying it I went third person. It's the guys that are on the court and
09:29Jimmy Butler doesn't look old to me right now. He shouldn't he's had ample rest Steph Curry who I thought study
09:36Was last time I mentioned this bilateral tendinitis both knees all of a sudden vamoose is gone
09:43Like he he looks like a spring chicken for spring chicken and Dre to say this
09:48I've never said he half-asses it but study. I believe him saying it we're gonna get Dre
09:56Wolverine version of Dre and he might say goo. I've been giving you that but now it just looks better
10:02From the 5-1 Oh Stiney, you know better than anyone. Thanks, Uchi
10:07sports sell two things
10:09Entertainment and hope steps the entertainment, but there wasn't any hope this year now Jimmy's the hope. All right
10:16There we go, I got you and the hope and why isn't the hope let's make the playoffs well, I think it is well
10:22But they're only apparently that one's already been checked off the box because the only way you make
10:27The only way you win the finals if you get into the playoffs
10:30So clearly they check in a box in the Warriors mind
10:33They're already in the playoffs check in the Warriors mind
10:36They're already won the first round check second round check Western Comics finals check finals check
10:42What are we doing that all to me Stiney falls under the umbrella of confidence
10:49Now it could be
10:51Irrational confidence, but that's never hurt anybody especially an athlete
10:55Jimmy Butler upon his arrival
10:57Yo dub nation Jimmy Butler here just touched down through this physical super excited ready to win ready to work
11:05Ready to put on the show for y'all. Let's get it championship coming soon
11:09Wow
11:10From the 408 Stiney. I gotta read this. I like this from Oreo cookie. All right, tell him this guru
11:16That's some great work Stiney, but history only tells us what has happened
11:22It's not what's going to happen
11:27That's just like the thing future, you know past results don't guarantee future
11:33Profit no, they don't but when you have a track record of something you see how much of an outlier this would be
11:41This would be such an out. This would be you know, it's funny
11:44We had Rick Barry on last week. Mm-hmm. All right, and you know what any old-timers out there like me?
11:51Rick Barry has maintained Oh Rick Barry's maintained to this day
11:57that the Warriors
11:58championship in 75
12:01Was the most unforeseen championship of all time nobody gave him a chance nobody thought they could win they went
12:0848 and 34 in the regular season, but they ended up sweeping the bullets. He said there's never been a title. That was more
12:17Surprising than the Warriors
12:19This would be more surprising. I
12:22really believe this would be more surprising because of
12:26Because
12:28Of where this team's been the last two years and how old they're they're important players are
12:35Yeah, that that'll that's what they're fighting father time and we said he's got one defeat, right?
12:40and that's LeBron James, but started we may be adding Steph Curry to that list is somehow they can pull this off, but
12:46Again, the basketball part of of me is why I said last week
12:51I believe the Western Conference finals are attainable
12:55But the age and the fact that they're doing this and basically what 30 35 games with Jimmy Butler
13:02That's what it'll be plus the playoffs if they get there
13:05That's what it'd be more surprising
13:07Stani is they kind of did it on the fly and you didn't ask me this but I told you and Evan in the green room
13:13Driving in and I this is not
13:16Participation trophy ask but Stani I feel better about next year
13:23Regardless of what happens this year. That's how drunk I am on what this move is meant for the immediate future
13:29And I think that's why they kind of hit it out the park. It was Durant fans understood. It was Durant
13:35I wanted to rant but are you telling me in a crazy world you end up really getting Jimmy bucket?
13:42Buckets who stylistically may be a better fit than Durant
13:46All that's I got to been noted
13:50They played four games and here's the other thing
13:53and again, I'm just gonna play a little devil's advocate miss me with the win over the Rockets as
13:59As meaning something they didn't even try to win that game the Rockets. They started Aaron holiday
14:05Okay, you're mad
14:08To win the game
14:10Jalen Green play 21 and they came back Sean 25
14:14Jock Landale helped him come back being played. Not the shame is not Landale Landale
14:22My point is you you know
14:26That win
14:28I feel a bit somewhere in here, but I I gotta pay
14:31I know we go back to the Warriors don't win the title know that now that would be what Wheeler would be like who you
14:36Don't make the Western Conference Finals. I have to stand on that even if I don't want to I have to it's gotta be
14:52You gets a five-course dinner, yeah, no doubt about it
14:55Yeah
14:56It's got to be something starting to where if I were to win if they were to get to the Western Conference Finals
15:01I got like eight dinners
15:03But this yeah, this is real though man, I'll tell you what, you know, what that's actually
15:10Eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seven zero. Let's go warrior fans
15:15How far is this team gonna go? Will you make a bet on it? Anybody want to bet me?
15:22Dre and Jimmy would bet you right now
15:25No step might be in that minute
15:26When I saw Steph get interviewed after the game Sunday and he said he had heard
15:32Immediately what his teammates said Stiney? It wasn't like oh, I gotta go out with my drunk friend trouble ahead
15:39It was one of those where Steph looked at the camera to me
15:43It was like I would never say it but because he said it I do love it
15:48And the basketball is gonna let us know if we're right or wrong
15:52This trade in season trade man has the ingredients to be one of the best
15:58In-season trades to help a team would be the greatest. It would be the greatest in season trade of all time
16:03Hmm, it would have to be it would it would have to be right. What about the Dantley one for the bad?
16:10Well, that was they they subbed out Dantley for Marco Guise. Yeah, and he was DePaul, but they won the title that year, right?
16:17But I don't think that was at the trade deadline. I think that was in the offseason
16:21That's all I
16:23Because they went to the Eastern Conference Finals with Dantley then they got a guire
16:28So
16:30It's just yeah, I
16:33Hey Stiney, I got to tell you this. I'm watching you and I've learned you more over this since the trade
16:41You won't admit this
16:43But I've been ready for battle rocky eight rocky nine with you
16:48You are excited you just don't know my god, but now that the players have kind of went in on the
16:54We're gonna win it now. You're like, you know, I'm I got the stop sign too much is enough
17:00But you are excited and I think there's a lot of cloud nine that thinks this could be a possibility
17:07There's a sliver. I have a sliver of doubt about
17:11Whether they can win it or not
17:13And are you gonna call me crazy let the hard part of this is making the playoffs
17:17I'm telling you that's the hardest part. It's not yeah to me. It is where they're at
17:22What they gotta do playoff is the hard part. I get that. That's always hard
17:27But Stiney they've done it four times and I think this euphoria has stemmed from
17:32Draymond thought they were dead. He didn't we all did
17:36they felt dead and
17:38Games means they're alive and like accused and and the
17:42Kaminga coming back whenever that day does happen because when the playoffs do come he'll be back Stiney. I
17:48Don't really put that into the equation. I think wow, let me let me be clear on on the way
17:55Helping me not walk into that bed the way the way I'm feeling
18:00was skeptical of the trade obviously
18:02But they've won three or four and I've seen the what like I was telling the boss this I was like, this is unbelievable and
18:11He's like, I know it's unbelievable. And I said, do you realize that two weeks ago? We had warrior fans that were
18:18trade staff
18:20About giving up the season and we're not going anywhere and Mike Dunleavy's not doing his job
18:26and if we don't make a move we're going nowhere acts and
18:30There was a lot of the fan base that thought that and two weeks later now
18:34We have players on the team saying we can win a championship. It is it is so
18:40Dramatically different the way people feel right now
18:44That excites the hell out of me. I mean, I can't believe it's changed
18:49I can't believe that we're gonna be able to watch the last
18:5127 games of this season and there's gonna be a lot at stake and the Warriors have kind of backed themselves into a corner but
18:58told everybody they're gonna come out Klan and
19:01It's gonna be incredible. Yeah, no doubt. You know, what's gonna be incredible and you hate this and I know it's not for today is
19:09The future the immediate I disagree with that. I'm already getting goosebumps just on that see the one reason why
19:17One reason why I give them a chance this year is because Butler hasn't played and all they got to do is make it to
19:2427 regular season games. So Butler's feeling good. You load manage curry and Draymond
19:31Okay this year
19:34Okay, you you make a run whatever I I look at next year as though
19:40Well now you got to stay healthy all
19:42Year long and you got to do it the following year to guys
19:46Can I just go here don't cuz I was just reading Austin in San Jose guru
19:50This team has not done it before. Come on, man. I get that Austin, but they haven't had the opportunity Austin
19:56I just want to make sure
19:59I'm not hating on this. I am just no you're excited. I can't do it. No, I just
20:07Why do we give it to me again Evan? Well, I
20:11Just don't understand the zero to a hundred zero to a hundred
20:16What happened
20:22I cannot forget a what about resume
20:26He took Miami twice to the finals
20:29Two years ago, but so when you get somebody of his caliber into what you have
20:35I'm wondering why we're at the chalkboard and you're getting your answer of oh boy this could be a big three
20:41Oh boy, this guy when he was in Miami and didn't have Steph and Dre got his team to the finals twice
20:48Now you're mixing that concoction together
20:51Like yeah, so in other words the words have 27 games like dude, that's I don't like me
20:57Okay, they they have to they have to push right now. They got a push
21:03I can see a 20 and 7 and 19. Okay, and then you go to the playoffs. So you push the last 27 games
21:09But now you're magically refreshed as the playoff star I gotta say so you got it now you're 35 35 and 37
21:16But it's not
21:18But it's not their first rodeo and also the other caveat to this trade that has me just excited is they didn't have to give
21:25Up their future Stani. There's pods. That's there's moody. There's Kaminga. There's TJ D. There's Buddy Hill
21:31They're not the big three. I keep focusing on they're not doing it just by themselves
21:36Or it's a mandate that those three play 48 minutes a night
21:40You got post like you got you got your other guys pulling on the rope
21:45You got he's a second round pick and we're talking about like we have a guy in our rotation
21:50who's played 11 games and now he's a factor and
21:55He's gonna be a factor as this team wins. It's like I get okay, but you know what Butler Draymond green and Steph
22:03Okay, give me another trio, yeah, no, I I will okay go Gilgis Alexander Chet Holmgren and Jaden Williams
22:10Jalen Williams
22:12That's a fair all-stars. That's a homegirl. I got you. Okay, I would I would love to see that
22:17No way Murray and pick the third guy Gordon or Porter
22:23But yeah, what I'm saying is it's like it's it's great for Butler and Draymond and Curry to think it
22:29They got a drag along
22:31Podjemski post Trace Jackson Davis, maybe Kaminga. What's the difference?
22:37And I've done these guys were great when they were here be Alitsa because Oh Porter jr
22:41I like when those guys came veterans, they were veterans, but nope when they got acquired, I don't think we're like
22:47Oh take the words are going to the finals
22:49And again, the difference in that season is they started from game one exactly
22:54But I still was like yeah, wake me up when the playoffs come
