00:00called the floor let's keep an eye on him that one oh look out wow butler goes down hard thompson
00:06comes underneath butler he was bumped as well and jimmy butler's legs went right out from under him
00:13straight contact on the floor listen this series is incredible as far as the physicality every
00:22rebound is contested every pass is contested unbelievable thompson is up jimmy butler is not
00:31i mean he was up there high and that tailbone took the brunt of that fall
00:38brian anderson stan van de gundy on the call last night for tnt rockets 109 warriors 94 and we
00:53officially have ourselves a series ladies and gentlemen good morning to all of you just waking
00:57up getting off work and ready for work and ready for maybe a long weekend uh it's joe spadoni it's
01:02joe shasky good morning to carter good morning to sam um yeah that sucked yesterday jimmy butler
01:09his status going forward it's all going to come down to that mri today as they will be looking
01:15at that pelvic contusion he leaves in the first quarter does not return brandon pajemski dealing
01:20with food poisoning in and out of that game and ultimately the houston rockets who were abysmal
01:25in game one shooting the ball joe shasky they came out firing jalen green was insane 38 points
01:328 of 18 from beyond the arc but 13 to 25 overall and this series is now tied and maybe just maybe it
01:38hinges on jimmy butler's lower back wow what wow that's all i gotta say well there's so many things
01:47that happened in this game so many i thought this was such a great throwback game and and what i mean
01:52by that is that i actually really appreciated the animosity and the physicality of the way these teams
01:57teams play because it matters a lot i mean we've been complaining and whining about the nba and
02:03these guys are all too friendly and it's soft and that game had like 18 car crashes in the first
02:10quarter alone amen thompson and draymond collided early on jalen green diving on the floor he was
02:16outstanding he reminded me of john moran honestly and we'll get into him at some point i thought dylan
02:21brooks was really good in this game um tari easton was bringing it i mean bring it intensity level
02:27clapping like crazy shangun was obviously very very good email doka you know walking onto that floor
02:33looking for smoke time and time again and i just thought that the warriors were a tick behind them
02:38in terms of intensity uh first step couldn't hit shots and obviously the jimmy you know um injury is
02:46gonna loom large here but that doesn't take away from the fact that i thought the rockets were
02:51bringing it to the warriors and and and there's no guarantee that if jimmy plays the warriors come
02:56back or whatever i'm just going off what i saw and i saw a team in the rockets that was hungry that
03:02wanted it that made subtle adjustments early on to get a eight point lead by the time jimmy ended up
03:08falling i mean jalen green high pick and roll over and over and over again bringing shangun up bringing
03:15the guy who's defending shangun up whether it's quentin post whether it's jimmy butler draymond
03:20green kavon looney all of them coming out a little too far beyond the three-point line and he's just
03:26blew by them made a really nice pass or finished in the lane or he got the iso that he wanted at the
03:32top of the key and was hitting i mean what he had eight of 18 yesterday from three yeah he was outstanding
03:37it reminded me of john morant in terms of we are way quicker than you i can get to my spot and when
03:44i'm hitting my outside shot it's really difficult to defend me and i thought amen thompson early on in
03:50this game did a great job cutting from the short corner into the lane as jalen green was driving
03:56and you saw it gave the warriors um some confusion so i i look as much as this is about the jimmy
04:03injury and i believe me i acknowledge it no doubt about it best believe the rockets came to play and
04:09good for them they they played outstanding basketball yesterday it's the fourth straight game against the
04:14houston rockets in which the warriors have failed to reach 100 points that is something to monitor
04:18here going forward especially if you might be without one jimmy beller the third we can get into
04:23that play as this show goes on and you know the number we want to hear from the people today this
04:27series is tied so for all of us that thought it was going to be a sweep myself included um we got
04:33to back up a little bit and we might have a real dogfight on our hands you know the number it's
04:37888-957-9570 it's the same number to call or text the boxer and gerson work injury attorney's text
04:45line and as always we are coming to you live from the laughing monk studios laughing monk
04:49righteously brewed in san francisco and you can also hit us up on youtube where we are streaming
04:54all day long brought to you by first norcal credit union for a low rate auto loan apply online or just
05:00ask for first norcal financing at the dealer you know joe there's so many things in this game like
05:05you find out oh pods is sick he's not feeling good he's gonna play food poisoning they called it
05:10look i'm i'm glad the young man has the um the gumption to want to play obviously but as a coach
05:17you also have to recognize like in his night and given that he's not feeling good maybe i don't go
05:22back to him considering that pat spencer looked good now i've been beating the drum on pat spencer
05:28and people have been kind of like laughing to me i'm not here to say that he's anything special that
05:32that's not i'm not saying he should take pods his job none of those things but like as a third
05:36point guard third point guard i think he's fine well i'm not scoffing at the notion that he was
05:40might have been your second best scorer that's my point and i think that there's too many times and
05:45i love steve kerr and he's a champion five times four times over but he went away from a guy who was
05:52playing well within the game and that's where it's like hey man the matchups the matchups and that's not
05:57why they lost but early on you could see draymond green what are these careless passes oh are you
06:03gonna square up to the hoop steph curry what are these careless passes you traveled bringing the
06:09ball up the floor like that has nothing to do with the jimmy injury 11 combined turnovers from the two
06:15guys you needed to show out and take care of the ball yesterday i expect turnovers from the young guys
06:21that make some mistakes i expect it maybe from gee santos who did have two turnovers himself maybe a
06:26quentin post here who i thought quentin post actually in a loss showed why he could be so
06:30damn important in this series he finally found his three-point shot maybe that's a positive going
06:34forward here but 888-957-9570 we'll get into the play because i think that's where a lot of people
06:40want to get into when it comes to amen thompson was it a dirty play was it not a dirty play the
06:45physicality um i kept seeing mixed reviews from a lot of warriors fans yesterday in regards to that game
06:50i saw some people some hosts here at the station saying this isn't basketball this is this is a
06:55football game we're watching well like prior to the last decade uh that was nba basketball for the
07:01most part the 90s that's what it looked like i mean i think it was steve kerr who alluded to it in
07:05game one he's like that was a throwback like game from 1997 stan van gundy was talking about on the
07:10broadcast he's like this is a throwback kind of a game i actually appreciated it now i look i'm not
07:15saying that like nobody wants anyone hurt like nobody does that but come on man we've been
07:19been railing on the nba for how long joe they're soft they don't they nobody wants to play hard
07:26against each other isn't this like isn't this a unique fun situation here like as a warrior fan
07:31come on of all the fan bases who has been supporting a player who's been kind of borderline
07:36for a decade like we're gonna be the ones to stick our chest out and call someone else dirty
07:41listen i find that to be a little hypocritical i didn't think any of the plays yesterday were really
07:47dirty i know jaylen green kind of shoved draymond in the face jay jaylen green was a little frustrated
07:52shoved draymond on the face it will it warranted a flagrant because it was unnecessary and he did
07:56jaylen green elbowed draymond in the face he shoved his face and then draymond flopped a little bit
08:01onto both things could be true no he deserved a flagrant he did no that's fine by the letter of
08:05the law yeah that's fine both things could be true that draymond afterwards fought him
08:08i don't think he should be kicked out of the game i don't think he's a villain he's been
08:12throwing the towel when the bench is clear during the timeout and hit pat spencer
08:16of all people in the face he got a technical foul from it i didn't think anything uh warren was
08:22specifically dirty now was it highly physical and contentious absolutely um all men thompson was it
08:29a quote-unquote reckless play maybe borderline he was playing very hard very fast he's a rookie he
08:35had two fouls at that point two fouls okay he he took like a push like midi if you will in the lane
08:42he took a push and i this is just my assessment and you can tell me what you think joe uh and i'm
08:47watching it through a warrior lens i admit it okay so i'm sure maybe i'm biased but just hear me out
08:51he pushes the shot misses it i thought it was like bro you're flying through two guys it was careless
08:58reckless however you want to say i didn't think it was malicious and dirty that's personally me now
09:02could it have still been a flagrant one or two sure like i i'm i'm here for that that's fine you want
09:07to adjudicate it but i didn't think he was going out of his way to hurt jimmy butler i thought it was
09:12a a young player playing super hard maybe over the top um getting jimmy who's in a vulnerable state
09:19up in the air and you know when any players up in the air but i didn't think he was trying to hurt
09:23him that's just me and i'm not trying to and again like come on how many of us have defended
09:28some kind of borderline gray area draymond stuff and we're gonna sit here and point the finger
09:34at somebody else who's a young guy who at this point at this point i don't think he has a track
09:38record of being a dirty player no all right and i i didn't think it was a quote-unquote dirty play
09:43i thought it was more reckless but i didn't think it was a dirty play i didn't think he was trying to
09:47hurt jimmy i think he's kind of like he missed a shot he's trying to fly through draymond's boxing
09:52him out they're jostling he kind of fell on stephen adams's foot and slipped or whatever and yeah he like
09:58came forward and it doesn't look good when you watch it in slow motion but i didn't think it was
10:03malicious it's it's a young guy trying to make a play and if you want to call it a flagrant i'm here
10:09for it like but if we're gonna slow everything down and we're gonna like look at it from 50
10:13different angles everything looks borderline um eight at eight nine five seven nine five seven zero
10:20was that a dirty play by amen thompson and the status of jimmy butler going forward is going to be
10:27very fascinating here game three saturday back at chase center we will give you any info that is
10:33released in regards to the mri the results all of it whenever those that news comes out when it
10:39comes to jimmy butler and his status going forward his health we will relay that information to you
10:44we're gonna be breaking it down all day long we want your participation schlep rock and go right
10:49i see you all the people start lining them up right now eight eight nine five seven nine five seven zero
10:53the series is tied joe oh we know this is we got it we got a great series here and this is a lot of fun
10:57like this is what we want this is the real playoffs i have a saying that i say to the kids you're doing
11:03too much right that's what i'll say to a guy i'll sit down you're doing too much you you just relax
11:09time out like you need to sit down next to me come see this is what i'm coaching that's the way i would
11:15describe that amen thompson play you're doing too much you're doing too much now he played well
11:19yesterday too overall he had 11 points he had the four seven from shooting the ball he got the free
11:24throw line i thought alman thompson played well joe he coming off that that first you know what he did
11:27really well before that that whole play in that sequence he was moving without the ball to the rim
11:32as jaylen green was coming into the lane yeah right like and look this is a big play because
11:37everyone's gonna bring it up is jimmy and they were up eight already i thought they were bringing
11:41i thought they made subtle adjustments i thought defensively shangoon at the top of the key
11:45doubled steph over and over and over really well his hands are really good and jaylen green on top of
11:51that was great there's two plays that were basically the same plays throughout where steph just didn't
11:55see jaylen or he wasn't noticing him and jaylen just say i'm gonna take that ball and he forced
11:59balls twice on that and it was it was a nice friendly like you know steph and jaylen they were
12:04kind of like going back and forth there was some friendly animosity there if that even makes sense
12:07if that's an oxymoron but again you go back to that amen thompson play i do think the word when you
12:12talk about dirty because let's let's be honest i don't throw that around no no because the warriors have
12:17been involved in dirty plays both for them and against them but go back to dylan brooks the guy
12:21that's playing for the rockets right now a couple years ago for the memphis grizzlies when he quote
12:25unquote broke the code that's what steve kerr said when he broke gary payne's forearm yeah that was a
12:29dirty play yes that was a dirty that was dirty play yes and there was intent there and that's what you
12:35can see that's where the word i go to like you know law and order criminal intent intent has to be
12:40made for me to garner a dirty play i don't think there was any intent from amen thompson i thought the
12:46guy he's lucky he didn't get like a concussed or get kneed in the head when he went flying
12:50jimmy's lucky that he didn't land on his head correct you know like it's dangerous but i think
12:55it was an unfortunate consequence of a reckless play right like that the only other way i can
13:00describe it i i didn't think it was malicious now that being said like again because he's a young
13:06player who i like who is local i'm giving him more of the benefit of the doubt and if you don't agree
13:12with that i would love to hear from you well and i'll say this in regards to the houston rockets that
13:17was the probably number one concern heading into this series if you were a warriors fan
13:22is the grit and the grind and the physical nature of it and the pound of flesh that the rockets might
13:29take from you in this series well i've taken a pound of flesh right now and hopefully it's not for
13:34weeks or months to come when it comes to jimmy butler but that is why you were concerned with this
13:40matchup it wasn't that you couldn't beat them because i think most people and i still do um and we'll
13:45wait for jimmy butler i know a lot of people might think hey if you're missing jimmy butler this
13:48series you might not win it i still think the warriors have enough to win this series if they
13:52are without jimmy butler for the next few games will it be hard sure but this is why playing the
13:58rockets in the first round was going to be tricky you just wanted to walk away from this unscathed
14:02when it came to your big three at the very least draymond steph and jimmy and now jimmy has a
14:08pelvic contusion and hopefully hopefully it's like what steph had earlier in the season like jk had
14:14when it wasn't well weeks or months at a time to recover so look look the rockets are the team
14:20that was yesterday the aggressor in many senses they set the tone defensively um you know physically
14:26they did a great job yesterday and then jimmy play is going to be the headliner but don't let it be
14:31lost on people they outplayed the warriors the whole game the entire game and every time the warriors
14:38made a run they did a great job stabilizing i thought tari eason was really good in this game
14:42stephen adams was clearly banging i mean him and quinn post getting the double the double flag
14:46i didn't like that at all yeah um i thought that was weak but there is and i'm not trying to be
14:51some homer i'm just saying spencer got attacked by the way it tells you all you need to know
14:55there is a couple silver linings i thought they actually found a couple of things a moses moody
15:01stay aggressive yeah stay aggressive i love that from you draymond in the second half found his
15:07shooting shot like you have to be aggressive draymond you do you just have to be moody i i
15:12personally believe this is not a great matchup for draymond the other guy it's not a great matchup
15:17for pods and i would consider starting quinn in post after seeing him hit a couple of shots i would
15:23consider it i would hey pods you set up my second second team offense and the other thing is i know
15:29people are going to sit here and they're going to try to criticize jk yeah look he wasn't quote
15:34ready to play he looked like a guy who hadn't played in two weeks also who was afraid to make
15:40a mistake but as the game went on his athleticism translated he got to the rim he finished the round
15:45he hit a three i thought the three ball shot looked good i think there's something there with
15:50coming the best play he had was saving a ball that was going out of bounds and i don't know what
15:54gee santos was doing like he was trying to do like a touch pass yeah curry so he was saving a play
15:59that while they were trying to make a run late in the fourth quarter and then all of a sudden
16:02gee just has butterfingers i don't know what happened and it goes for a turnover and then a
16:06foul shot gee fouls him right there it was just a very unfortunate set of circumstances jk did not
16:11shoot the ball well but i'm not going to sit here and say he was the reason like oh jk that was your
16:16moment to shot he could do it like come on man he hasn't played in two weeks and he's and he's you
16:20could feel it as he's passing the ball i better not make a mistake because i might not see the light
16:25of day after this like come on everybody pump the brakes a little did he play well i didn't think he
16:29played well but he wasn't the reason they lost this game if you're i thought your game was coming
16:34down a little yeah if your game is coming out of jonathan kaminga save us well then that's or even
16:39pat spencer that's all you need to know about the game hey stephan draymond how about not combining
16:43for 11 turnovers but but joe that being said that being said part of the i think my frustration at
16:49times with with steve kurt i'm talking about in-game lineups and combinations pat spencer has it going
16:54pods is in the in the locker room he's he clearly didn't have it going in the first half
16:58and he didn't go back to pat spencer's he went back to pods and pods was bricking left and right
17:03and look i'm i'm glad that pods suited up it showed tremendous toughness he doesn't have it
17:09we all could see it i mean ray charles could see he didn't have it yesterday okay helen keller
17:16all of them uh what was my key to the game yesterday it was hey steve kerr ride the hot hand
17:22and i didn't think he did that pat spencer had the hot hand but he he did start quitting post i
17:26believe to start the second half which was the move to make yeah i i would have gone pat spencer
17:31before i go back to pods pods didn't have it it's okay he was sick even stan van gundy i applaud him
17:37for playing but he didn't have it yeah stan van gundy on the broadcast even was kind of curious as to
17:41why they brought brandon pajemski back he's like he didn't start the game he was in the locker room
17:45i just would rest this guy and then bring him back at home on saturday you know pat spencer was
17:53playing well and the other guy who's not playing well right now and i just look i don't think gp2
17:57is playing well against this team it's not a great match it's not a great it's not a great matchup
18:01but what i saw late in the game even though he had a great game jk guarding jalen green there's
18:07something there his length his ability lateral quickness i think there's something there and what
18:12i would tell steve and the coaches to have and i know they've forgotten more about basketball than
18:17i know stop bringing your big to the top of the key and having him switch on jalen green just stay on
18:25the big you got to fight through it i'm like if we switch if i watch quentin or even draymond or
18:32kavon looney switch on to jail stop it stop switching just throw jk out there if you're gonna go with
18:39stop going to gp2 he doesn't have it go to jk put him on jalen green and be done with it and i would
18:46start moses moody at the two and have pods come off the bench
