00:00Seconds to the paint, spins, jump hook for 14, it's up and no good, rebound Butler, Butler is fouled with 4 seconds to go!
00:11Draymond got the stop when the Warriors had to have it.
00:17Tim Roy on the call right here on 95.7 The Game.
00:21Massive, and I mean massive win, for your Golden State Warriors last night at Chase Center, 109-106.
00:29It's Jimmy freaking Butler with the clutchest of rebounds here late in that game, and I mean, wow, just, Joe, good morning.
00:42There's so many layers to unravel in this game, but the most important aspect is now the Warriors in a game that we all knew was going to come down to timely rebounds,
00:55big shots, and it was going to be physical, and it's going to get nasty.
00:59The Rockets had their backs against the wall. They were down 2-1. That was going to be the game for them.
01:04If they were going to make this a series, that was going to be the game.
01:07And they, hey, to their credit, they tried.
01:10But you know what? The Warriors, they're just better.
01:14They have the better players, they have the better leadership, and they have Jimmy freaking Butler,
01:19and they're up 3-1 in round one, one game away from getting to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.
01:26Incredible win, incredible game, incredible atmosphere.
01:30Good morning. Wow.
01:31That was an unbelievably stressful game.
01:36How am I supposed to go to bed at 10 o'clock at night after that game?
01:40I mean, everybody who's waking up right now in the Bay Area was thinking the same thing.
01:45Oh, my God, my heart's racing.
01:47That was an unbelievable game.
01:48The difference between 2-2 and 3-1 felt like the end of the season,
01:52or, oh, my God, we can move on to the next round, and we get to actually get some breath.
01:57But Jimmy could barely walk in the first half, it felt like.
02:01He was so compromised.
02:02And then he had the foul on Dylan Brooks, which I'm going to come out and say it.
02:07I love that foul.
02:08That was an old man.
02:09Oh, no, no, no, no.
02:10I am raking the arm to try to break the forearm.
02:14Metaphorically, not really.
02:16I love that foul.
02:17And then Dylan missed both free throws.
02:18And they could not have ended that first half any worse.
02:21And at the end, chef's kiss as the suspendables in tandem.
02:27To come together to finish that out, the guy with five fouls the entire second half,
02:32stuck on the bench, the guy who we all thought, man, is he getting kicked out of this game?
02:37Man, is Draymond going to, like, accumulate enough text to where he might miss a game down the line?
02:42These are why you've got to put this team away.
02:45This is why.
02:46Because of the shenanigans.
02:47The officials lost control.
02:49Draymond got a resume call on a flagrant.
02:53I mean, the officials, we'll get to them in a second.
02:55But then at the end, to go straight up on Shane Goon, who had been destroying the Warriors,
03:00and for Jimmy Butler to snag the biggest rebound and be perfect from the free throw line,
03:06it was a chef's kiss as the suspendables closed one out.
03:09Because Curry did not have it going yesterday by Curry's standards.
03:13And Podjemski playing supporting actor of the year rule was just unbelievable.
03:19Jimmy Butler, and I'll say this right here, and we better be lining him up.
03:22Now, I didn't know that I needed Jimmy in my life.
03:26I'm in love with Jimmy Butler!
03:29But now that I have him, I can't envision a life without him.
03:33Oh, heck yes.
03:35He has been one of the greatest acquisitions in Bay Area sports history,
03:39whether you want to say it's Fred Dean or Christian McCaffrey.
03:42I'm talking about in-season.
03:43Not a couple years later.
03:45In-season.
03:46He's been one of the greats.
03:47And to see him compromised and do what he did.
03:52Not only is Playoff Jimmy as advertised,
03:54Playoff Jimmy is one of the baddest MFers I've ever seen in my life.
03:58And that's who I want to go to war with against that Rocket team
04:01who's a bunch of goods trying to muck it up
04:04because the only way they can win is not playing basketball.
04:07It's playing hack a guy.
04:09That's what they did the whole game.
04:10And the referees lost control.
04:12None of that crew should be allowed to officiate any significant games moving forward.
04:17I could talk all day.
04:19Line him up.
04:19888-957-9570.
04:21Jimmy.
04:22Period.
04:23And you can call or text that number to the Boxer & Gerson Work Injury Attorneys text line.

04:39And as always, we are coming to you live from the Laughing Monk Studios.
04:43Laughing Monk, righteously brewed in San Francisco.
04:46109, 106.
04:48And like I said, that came out of everything.
04:50Everything.
04:50And checked every single box.
04:52Now, I would have liked it if it was like two and a half hours instead of three hours.
04:55But you know what?
04:55That's because we're selfish and we have to get up at 3 o'clock in the morning.
04:58But I'm still wired after yesterday.
05:00After all the stuff that we...
05:02Because we had to go straight to golf after that.
05:04Chaski.
05:04We played 18 holes.
05:05It was beautiful.
05:06Stone Tree.
05:07Shout out to them.
05:07Shout out to Atco Pest Control.
05:08Shout out to all of them.
05:09The Agape tournament was on fire.
05:12It was great.
05:12I got sunburned.
05:14My allergies are everywhere.
05:16But even through all of that, I fought through adversity.
05:18I was fighting for my life yesterday.
05:19I was watching that game.
05:21I was like, oh my God.
05:22Like, this is the game that's going to decide the series for the Warriors.
05:26And this could decide the series, the next series, if you will.
05:29Because the last thing you want to do is have this series bleed into six or seven.
05:35And had it been 2-2 today, and we're reacting to a loss, that is what we'd be talking about.
05:41The last thing you want to do is give a team like that, a young team like that, hope.
05:47We talked about it yesterday.
05:48No doubt.
05:48Step on their throats.
05:51Don't allow them to breathe anymore.
05:53You know, they have Imeo Doka, who I called Suge Knight.
05:56They're death row records.
05:57You know, they're going to be doing their stuff.
05:58They're going to be trying to, you know, get under your skin.
06:00You're going to do the Dylan Brooks antics.
06:02But you know what?
06:03There's levels to these things.
06:05We like to talk about it.
06:05There's levels to this.
06:06There's levels to greatness.
06:08And Dylan Brooks, his high watermark in his playoff career is the second round with the Memphis Grizzlies.
06:15That's his high watermark in his career.
06:17Since then, it's been a first-round exit as a Grizzly, trying to do the same thing he did to LeBron James,
06:23and he got punked for that.
06:24Now, in the first round with the Houston Rockets, same thing against the Golden State Warriors,
06:28and he got punked by Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, Brandon Pajemski,
06:32and Buddy freaking healed, by the way.
06:35Buddy Buckets, I never doubted you.
06:38Real quick.
06:38Buddy was great.
06:39Never doubted you.
06:40Buddy was great.
06:40Huge buckets.
06:41The efficiency I don't care about.
06:43I did want him to pass the Rocks late.
06:44That's fine.
06:45But even the one that fade away late that he missed, it went in and out three different times.
06:49I know, but it's like, kick it to the staff.
06:51I know, I know.
06:52But what about Quinn Post?
06:53Oh, Quinn Post wants all the smoke.
06:55Not some of the smoke.
06:56All the smoke.
06:57And I love the way he was reacting as a teammate, getting in guys' faces, shoving guys around.
07:01But the officials, I don't want to start this show railing on the officials, but I swear to you,
07:09I've watched over a decade of playoff basketball with a fine-tooth comb.
07:13Not once.
07:14I've watched every game twice and most games three times.
07:16You know how I watch them.
07:18I'm an insane person.
07:18There ain't nothing you can do about it.
07:20The referees lost complete control.
07:22Adam Silver, get control of your league.
07:24Eme Udoka is on the floor at all times, chesting guys, getting in the mix.
07:30You need to reprimand this team.
07:32Dial it back.
07:32The whole thing started because Dylan Brooks needs Steph in the groin.
07:36He maliciously needs him in the groin.
07:38Now, that's just a simple foul.
07:40We move on.
07:41Steph said a little something, and then you assess two techs and only one for them?
07:45He put the number two up, and that's what they said.
07:48He initiated the taunt because that's his second foul.
07:50He did the first one earlier.
07:51He's got lead in the groin.
07:53I'm just telling you.
07:53I'm explaining.
07:54Would LeBron get that call?
07:55Would Chris Paul get that call?
07:56Would James Harden get that call?
07:58None of those guys.
07:58I watched James Harden throw a punch the other day and not get a technical.
08:03So, I'm sorry.
08:04I'm over it.
08:04The officials have lost control of this series.
08:06It's not basketball.
08:08That being said, I could go all day on the officials, and anyone that wants to defend them,
08:13get out of here.
08:14Both teams have major gripes, major gripes.
08:17They lost complete control of that game.
08:19And Draymond Green, at one point, lost control of his own emotions, right?
08:22And look, he rolled over them.
08:25Tari Eason, I thought it was inadvertent.
08:27It was a complete resume call.
08:30I know everyone wants to slow things down, whatever.
08:32You know, the way Tari Eason tried to kick his legs up, I get where Draymond's coming from.
08:36I'll defend him.
08:37I really will.
08:38I've traded him away 10,000 times.
08:39I've ripped him when I felt appropriate.
08:41I will defend him in this particular instance.
08:44The first tech he got with Steph was absurd.
08:46He was breaking it up.
08:48He was breaking it up.
08:48Where's the tech for Imei Odoka?
08:50Walking on the floor on every dead ball situation.
08:53Where's that?
08:54I thought you're not supposed to leave the bench.
08:56No, I'm tired of Imei Odoka.
08:58Because Imei knows.
08:59He's like, we got to treat this like football.
09:01It's basketball, doggie.
09:03It's basketball.
09:04What sport am I watching?
09:06Like, get control of the game.
09:07And I thought the officials, all three of them, I don't want to see any of them in any of the playoff series moving forward.
09:15It's Steph Curry.
09:16This guy helps save your league in terms of viewership.
09:19And you're giving him a tech because he gets, like, kneed in the groin.
09:24And then Quentin Post coming to the, like, Quentin Post in one night became a warrior.
09:29And what I mean, the way he protected Steph, the way that he wanted to, like, get him on Stephen Adams.
09:35And, by the way, Stephen Adams is available for the rest of your career.
09:38If you're available, we want you.
09:40We want you yesterday.
09:41And then Steve Kerr.
09:42We have not even talked about Steve Kerr.
09:44The brilliant master class of subbing in Looney to get a couple of those hack of Adams fouls to get him off the floor because he was destroying them.
09:54Steve Kerr did some brilliant things in this one.
09:55And Pajemski, I mean, that's one of the finest games of Pajemski's career.
09:58When the team needed it the most, the young man totally stepped up, big shot after big shot.
10:05And the play of the game was the incredible defense on Fred VanVleet.
10:09Make VanVleet dribble.
10:10I could go all day.
10:11I'm so fired up.
10:12No, I'll let you do that.
10:13So, one of the best wins of the year.
10:15Hey, that's fine.
10:16Three and a half hours.
10:17Shasky, let's go.
10:18888-957-9570.
10:20You should be fired up.
10:21Thanks.
10:21They're 3-1 right now.
10:23In the history of the NBA, there's only been 13 teams to ever successfully come back from that.
10:29And it hasn't happened in, I think, five plus years.
10:30And that was in the bubble.
10:31So, really, it's almost been like 10 years since it's been like real basketball that it's happened.
10:35And we know what series that happened in.
10:37I don't care about that.
10:39Historically, this means you win the series.
10:41Now, I don't want it to get to a game six.
10:44So, wrap this up in Houston.
10:46Make it all the more sweeter.
10:47And get some rest heading into round two.
10:50But we're reacting to a win tonight.
10:53Today, I should say.
10:54Last night, if you were there.
10:56How deflated would you have been if they lost that game?
10:58If that jump hook from Shengun went in, that would be like going from, oh my god, we could beat anyone.
11:05We can go on a deep run to, are we really not going to get out of the first round?
11:09That's literally how I was feeling.
11:10Jimmy missed up, I call it a put-away shot.
11:13We would have gone up three.
11:14Then Steph missed the shot to go up three.
11:16And they have the ball with a chance to win it.
11:18And they call timeout with whatever, 12, 13 seconds.
11:21And it's Shengun, who we have not stopped the entire fourth quarter, Joe.
11:25Because Draymond had the fifth foul and was on the bench.
11:29And the fact that Draymond stood him straight up.
11:32And then Jimmy got the rebound.
11:34I mean, it was just...
11:35Is it weird?
11:36I know I'm saying.
11:38I know that he was incredible yesterday.
11:40Shengun, for the most part.
11:41Did he hit a free throw?
11:42Well, that's the thing.
11:43Actually, for him, 7-10 from the free throw is huge.
11:45But again, we talked to Jay Billis yesterday, who was on the call for Game 3 for ABC.
11:5119-31 free throws.
11:53And Jay said it yesterday.
11:54He's like, if they can just make their free throws, they'd be up in the series.
11:57But they're not.
11:57They're down 3-1 now.
11:59That's a good point.
11:59Because you can't make your free throws.
12:02I'm sorry.
12:02That's the hallmark of either an inexperienced team or a team that relies on too many big men
12:07that can't shoot their free throws.
12:09And it's a combination of both.
12:10And that was it yesterday.
12:1119-31.
12:13You saw a couple misses from Dylan Brooks, Amen Thompson, Jalen Green, Shengun, Steven
12:19Adams.
12:19Those things accumulate.
12:21And towards the end of the game, and I tweeted this first quarter, at Spadone and Scored
12:24Joe, give me a follow.
12:26These are going to come back to haunt you.
12:28They always do in the playoffs, in big moments, in big games.
12:31And Jimmy Butler, juxtapose that with what he did on the free throw line.
12:35Getting the line 12 times and making all 12.
12:3812 of 12 from the line, 20 of 22 overall for the team.
12:44That's the game.
12:46That's the game.
12:47When he hit the three free throws after the...
12:48It was a hand check on the hip by Dylan Brooks as he's shooting the three.
12:52Just a terrible foul by Dylan Brooks.
12:54I don't know what Dylan Brooks is doing.
12:55I have Jimmy Butler, and his career is not a good three-point shooter.
12:58You're taking that all day.
12:59Every day.
13:00No doubt.
13:00But when he starts limping the way that he did, I think we were all thinking the same thing.
13:04Oh, God.
13:05And that's why you've got to win that game.
13:06Because you can tell, Jimmy's compromised.
13:09Jimmy is absolutely compromised.
13:10And the way that he picked and chooses his spots.
13:12How about the pass he made to Moody in the lane as he's twisting?
13:16He made another one to Gary Payton the second.
13:19Gary Payton the second, another big layup in crunch time.
13:21Another big layup.
13:22Like, this team, the contributions on a night when Steph didn't have it going.
13:26I just...
13:27That was a team win.
13:28That was a huge team win.
13:30And the coming of age in a playoff series for Pajemski, for Quentin Post, for some of these other guys, it was...
13:37It's as good of a feel-good win.
13:39Look, the series is four from over.
13:40Four from over.
13:41You have got to finish this team off.
13:43Because every game that goes on, some goonery is going to happen.
13:47Some techs are going to get accumulated.
13:49And you're putting yourself in a position to where stuff gets out of your control.
13:54That win last night was probably the best win I've seen from the Warriors since the championship run.
14:02Just given the circumstances, given everything that's taken place in this, given what took place a couple years ago when you got, you know, game seven against the Kings, I get that.
14:12You got out of the first round then.
14:14This is different.
14:15This feels different.
14:16This iteration of the Warriors, that version of Jimmy Butler, who's only hopefully going to get healthier, right?
14:22It's a pain tolerance thing.
14:23And clearly, he was grimacing a lot.
14:25Reggie Miller kept referencing ad nauseum on the TNT broadcast.
14:27Reggie was standing up the entire final four minutes.
14:31You could see him on the floor.
14:32And then when Draymond got to stop, he like yelled at Reggie.
14:35And I was like standing up.
14:37And I didn't yell because the little guy's asleep.
14:39I was like, ah!
14:40Like that.
14:41And then the dogs went running.
14:42It was funny.
14:43Eddie Johnson, friend of the program, obviously Suns pre- and post-game analyst on the television side.
14:48He tweeted out something about Reggie.
14:49He's like, Reggie forgot he does a national telecast and should be partial.
14:53Up cheering on Draymond and the Warriors, the pom-poms.
14:55I thought Reggie was cheering on the Rockets.
14:57And then Draymond quote tweeted that.
14:59And he says, no, no, he's just not a hater.
15:02I'm paraphrasing here.
15:03I was like, oh, Draymond's got time for everyone today after that win.
15:07And we're here.
15:08Like, Warrior fans, like, I get it.
15:09You got to lose to a team.
15:11You got to go back and forth for it to be a rivalry.
15:13It doesn't matter.
15:14I still hate the Rockets.
15:15You should.
15:15And Van Vliet, I just.
15:16I got respect for Van Vliet.
15:18That guy just makes buckets after buckets.
15:20Did you think he was hitting that last shot?
15:21I thought he was.
15:23That's why it was.
15:23I'm like, come on.
15:25How are you?
15:25How are you?
15:26Why are you flying up so hard?
15:28Just stand there.
15:29I almost wanted them to foul him.
15:30So before you get the shot.
15:31Well, that's why, like, in a weird way, even though Shang-Goon was balling, like, I didn't
15:35mind him taking that last shot.
15:37Like, I was afraid.
15:38I was afraid of Fred Van Vliet taking that last shot.
15:41I thought that last shot was going in.
15:42I thought if it was a three point shot, I was like, oh, he's getting that.
15:44Like, right, it's money.
15:46But, again, they get the big stop.
15:48They get the offensive rebound basically night and night after that.
15:51The Pods blocked from behind on Fred Van Vliet.
15:53Oh, that was the play.
15:54It was such a great play.
15:55That was the play of the game for me.
15:56And you know what?
15:56Pods played great individual defense on Fred Van Vliet in that moment.
16:01But to me, it's all with him, with Fred Van Vliet specifically.
16:04Just make him put it on the floor.
16:06He can't dribble.
16:08He can't go by anyone.
16:10When you allow him to be a catch and shoot guy, he's deadly.
16:12But I mean it when I say this is the best I've felt about a Warriors team
16:17since that championship run back in 2022.
16:20This is the best I've felt.
16:21And we all know what took place in that run to the playoffs a couple years ago.
16:25Dark cloud over the organization.
16:27It just didn't feel right from start to finish of that season.
16:30With just how it started, we hate to go Hawaiian and bring up the punch.
16:33That's how it started then.
16:34And then the year after, you know, the whole clay stuff.
16:36It just didn't feel right.
16:38This feels right.
16:39It feels like Jimmy Butler's been a Warrior for a decade.
16:41That's what it feels like.
16:43And it's only been a few months.
16:44It's only been a few months.
16:45And did you see when there was a stoppage on the free throw line?
16:48And he turns to Dylan Bricks.
16:49He's like, you're a bum.
16:50You're a bum.
16:51And like every Guardian Warrior is like, yes, let's go, Jimmy.
16:54Let's go.
16:54Finally, somebody is matching Draymond's intensity.
16:57Another junkyard dog.
16:59Finally.
16:59He said, you a bum and you a snitch.
17:02Not the word snitch.
17:02You know what I mean.
