00:00All right, the crossover is brought to you by Abundant Life Weight Loss.
00:03They know the secret to losing up to one pound of fat every day.
00:06Go to AbundantLifeWeightLoss.com.
00:09Let's welcome in Willard and Dibbs.
00:12Gentlemen, how are we doing this morning?
00:14Hi!
00:15Who's shocked?
00:16Because I'm Captain Shock.
00:17Shock? That's too strong for me.
00:19It was over in the second.
00:21No, I'm surprised it was that bad in the game.
00:23Okay, all right.
00:23I appreciate that.
00:25But like, surprised they lost?
00:27No.
00:28No.
00:30I mean, they were underdogs in the game.
00:33I'm mad at you a little bit, Willard.
00:35That's why you're mad at me.
00:36Because I've been trying to Dibbs re-evaluate everything.
00:39Like, I never once disrespected the Rockets.
00:41I knew they were Steven.
00:43They were young.
00:43Let me finish.
00:44But Willard, I got to say this.
00:46I'm driving in like, where did I go to subcontinent?
00:49And then I was with the 11 Camigas.
00:52Like, I expected them not to bounce back and wilt yesterday.
00:56And they showed me something.
00:57And they showed me something.
00:59And Monday, Dibbs, when they were possession away.
01:01Right.
01:01When you said they're not dead from winning.
01:04They were a possession away.
01:05And it came down to your best defender against their best offensive player.
01:09And Draymond was better.
01:10And if you really take a step back, and I shared this on Twitter yesterday right before tip,
01:15because the more I was thinking about it, that was a Rockets blowout.
01:18The recipe was there.
01:20The ingredients were in the stew.
01:21I had it as an 18-point deficit.
01:23But I had it as a lower-scoring game.
01:25And then you watch the opening four or five minutes.
01:28Jimmy is settling for threes.
01:30Draymond Green, defensive three in the key.
01:33Steph Curry's getting picked by nobodies.
01:35And it's like, okay, I see the way that this is going to go.
01:39And you lose.
01:40Your three best players kind of didn't show up.
01:44And Houston came out hair on fire.
01:45And you're down early.
01:47And then you're down more.
01:48And then you're really down.
01:49And it's, okay, let's pull the plug.
01:51It's all right.
01:52You're up 3-1.
01:53Let's go home.
01:54And I was just telling Evan and Grandy,
01:56they probably should have just said,
01:58Steph, Draymond, and Jimmy, don't even get on the plane.
02:01Let's just chill.
02:02You guys get your rest.
02:04And we'll go forward with Pat and Braxton and all the fellas.
02:08You weren't here yesterday.
02:09Real quick, Willard.
02:10He wasn't here yesterday.
02:11And we all talked.
02:13And I thought it was brilliant.
02:14You guys were talking about making the comp to the Memphis plan.
02:17And if you win, what that rest would mean.
02:20So I thought, this finger thing that's growing, the story.
02:23And Jimmy, Willard, I thought they would be incentivized enough
02:27to take care of business.
02:29I don't want my man to catch a stray.
02:31But Grandy's the one who made yesterday the biggest day
02:34in the history of mankind and creation.
02:37No, I didn't feel that way at all.
02:40Oh, okay.
02:40I admitted that I didn't feel that way.
02:43I overplayed it by being like, dude, I'm watching this game in flip-flops.
02:47I'm not going to have shoes.
02:48Who cares if they win or not?
02:49I was kidding.
02:50But no, I did not think.
02:53Okay, I had it wrong.
02:54I did not think that the whole thing came down to yesterday.
02:57I still think if they win tomorrow night, two days of rest is plenty
03:01for adult basketball players to handle their businesses.
03:04This is the way the playoffs go.
03:06I'm not going to react to any one basketball game
03:13and change the whole tenor of this.
03:17I get it.
03:17The day after losses, you feel sick, and you feel like it's going to snowball.
03:24There's zero evidence of it.
03:25All right.
03:26None.
03:27None.
03:27It almost felt like the Warriors won two home games.
03:31How did it snowball?
03:32Not well.
03:34I don't think yesterday snowballs into tomorrow.
03:37It never snowballs.
03:38I'll take you back to 2022 where they went to Memphis.
03:42They were the three.
03:43Memphis was the two.
03:44They stole game one, and then they lost game two.
03:47They came home.
03:48They held serve, and then you went to Memphis, and you lost by 39.
03:51A thousand points.
03:52Right.
03:52And then you came home in game six, and you pulled your stuff up by the bootstraps,
03:57and then you locked in Dubnation, and you knocked Memphis out.
04:00Stoney's rubbing off on me.
04:01Curry was 34.
04:03No hand issue.
04:04Butler didn't have this pelvic contusion.
04:05That's all.
04:06I'm not worried.
04:07I feel like they can handle it, but, Will, if somehow we get to a game seven,
04:12then it's like, oh, man.
04:13No, that's not a good setup.
04:16But I don't think that last night means anything for game seven either.
04:22Now you're 22 years old, and it's game seven.
04:25That's a lot of weight.
04:27That would look different.
04:28But I don't think it's going to end up there.
04:31It's probable that the Warriors will win this thing tomorrow night.
04:36But, no, I'm like, you know, the way our timing worked, like we did Warriors
04:41live up until, and then there was a problem on the Bay Bridge last night.
04:46I saw that, boy.
04:48They were down by 25 before I could get to a TV.
04:50Come on, man.
04:51And that's what was disappointing.
04:56Like, they couldn't even, but I actually, like, don't make that all about the Warriors.
05:01The Rockets played really well.
05:03And that's my biggest takeaway this series.
05:05They played really well.
05:07Give them that.
05:08They did, like, those young bucks went out there and did what they were supposed to do
05:12last night.
05:13Right.
05:14Good for them.
05:14And if you want to talk odds, and I'm looking at FanDuel right now, the Warriors to win
05:19the series are minus 500.
05:21Wow.
05:22So, you've still got to lay 500 to win 100.
05:24Man.
05:24They're up 3-2 with game six at home.
05:27Now, if they happen to stumble in game six, I do think that they'll still be favored to
05:32win the series.
05:32Interesting.
05:33But it won't be minus 500.
05:35Remind me, minus 500 is more of a favorite than they were to start the series.
05:39Yes, sir.
05:39I think it was minus 175.
05:41And it was also, it's also more than it was when they were up 3-1.
05:44It's hard to do this when you're a fan because we get so emotional.
05:48Like, don't forget, you'd way rather be the Warriors right now than the Rockets.
05:51Stani said that, no doubt.
05:53Don't, like, don't, the Rockets do not have anything by the you-know-whats right now.
05:57Nothing.
05:58Nothing.
05:58But a road game tomorrow.
06:00Yeah, and they're big underdogs in it.
06:02And guess what?
06:04Like, all of the officiating energy that goes one way, it comes right back the other way.
06:10They worked the refs perfectly last night after the game.
06:13They said all they needed to say.
06:15And now we're all talking, the whole world's talking about slapping at Steph's head.
06:19Out of nowhere, man.
06:21Perfect.
06:22It's been there the whole time, but they're only talking about it now.
06:25Because they want to get the refs' attention on that tomorrow night.
06:29You know, yeah.
06:31I mean, the Houston Rockets were a two-seed in a conference that we all think is pretty darn good.
06:39They won 52 games.
06:42They have home court, or they had home court going into the playoffs.
06:47And the Warriors are a seven-seed, and they're up 3-2, and they're coming home.
06:50Like, if you would have said that before this series, I think everybody takes it.
06:56Don't you?
06:57Yes.
06:58Well, even if you would go back to the beginning of the year, and you said,
07:01All right, Warriors, you're going to be a seven-seed, and you're going to face the two-seed in the first round.
07:07We don't know who that is, but you'll be up 3-2 with game six at home.
07:12They would have taken that against L.A., Minnesota, OKC.
07:15Every single team, they would have taken it, right?
07:18I don't think I'd say this even further.
07:19I will take being up 3-2 in any series ever, always.
07:24Period.
07:25I mean, I'll take that.
07:27I think from day one to the last game of the regular season, when they got off to a 12-3 start,
07:35they struggled, they got Butler, they turned it around, we got excited.
07:40I'm with Willard.
07:42At any point in the season, I would have said, I'll take it.
07:45We're going to finish at seven, but we're going to be up 3-2 in the first round.
07:49I'll take it.
07:51There's no reason why you wouldn't.
07:53Especially because at seven, you don't have home court.
07:56Right.
07:56And that's indicating that you've already won a game on their home court.
08:00I want to throw this in.
08:01I mean this.
08:04I would have been more bummed if they lost that game by three.
08:08Absolutely.
08:09That would have stung because you had a shot.
08:13You had a shot to close it, and your veteran closers didn't close it.
08:18Yesterday's a burn-the-tape game.
08:20Good God.
08:21You got smoked.
08:21But the question is why?
08:22After the game that you just won two days ago, Willard, you won at the buzzer.
08:27Oh, you got to mouthful with this so easily.
08:30Like, this is the NBA.
08:31Yes, okay.
08:32They beat you last night.
08:34Is there anything, because they're young, fun, and I just, I disrespected the Rockets.
08:39I know they got talent, but even when they, I didn't think when they got down 12 the other game on here Monday,
08:45I just thought they would fold.
08:47I thought they would fold yesterday, but they never got down.
08:50But for them to come back with their backs against the wall at home,
08:53we've seen many teams just kind of wilt like, you know what, we had our chance game four.
08:58So I'm impressed from that vantage point.
09:00But we can't sit here and ignore the athleticism and the stuff that I thought is not as important as pedigree and moxie,
09:08which the Warriors have, and closers and guys that have done it.
09:11But I, this is just me, I keep going to Monday thinking, how did the Warriors, how did we win that game?
09:17By the skin of our teeth.
09:19And then the next game, after Stiney and I, and he signed me up for this,
09:23the Rockets are incapable of blowing out the Warriors.
09:26We all thought that and I bought it, but we saw it, so we can throw it out.
09:31But my question to you three is, why did that game go down like that?
09:35Is it the youth?
09:36Are we in the 12th or 13th round of a 15-round bout?
09:39And the older guy is starting to get a little tired?
09:42I don't think it is.
09:43But when we're in the building tomorrow, we'll know in the first quarter if there's been a little bit of a shift.
09:50And I'm going to ask you this and I'm going to be quiet.
09:51You think the Rockets are scared of any Warrior offensive player?
09:55I'm starting to believe now, no.
09:57You think the Rockets are scared of, or the Warriors are scared of any Rocket offensive player?
10:01I don't think anybody's scared.
10:03Like, they outplayed him.
10:06That's why.
10:08Again, nothing that happened last night is in the building tomorrow.
10:12And I disagree with you.
10:13Well, the Rockets are in there.
10:14We're not going to know crap after the first quarter.
10:17We're not going to know crap after the first quarter tomorrow night.
10:20Because every time we think we know something, the Warriors kick the living face off of the Rockets in the first and the third quarter on Monday night.
10:29And how'd that work out?
10:30Half of us think the Rockets outplayed him in the game.
10:34So, like, I just, I don't think you disrespect, don't do that to yourself.
10:39You didn't disrespect anybody.
10:41You made a pick.
10:43The Warriors are in the lead.
10:45And they have actually been, I think, more than the Rockets.
10:48They've been the better team in this series.
10:51And, and...
10:52Stoddy, do you buy that?
10:53The Rockets kicked their butts last night.
10:54The Warriors have been the better team in the series.
10:57It's close.
10:58I think it's an evenly matched series.
11:00I mean, it's 3-2 and the different, and the one different game was a one-point game.
11:07They're very close.
11:08Right, and that, to me, was the difference.
11:10The circumstances, though.
11:11The difference was, in the game that was certainly in the balance, the Warriors with, maybe it's their championship pedigree, the experience, the veterans, whatever it was, the coaching.
11:21I do think it was all of it.
11:23They won the game that was most in the balance, and I do think that it's all those things.
11:28Udoka choosing to go with Shen Goon against one of the best defenders in the world.
11:34Jabari Smith with a terrible three and a turnover.
11:37If you look at the last three minutes of that game, game four, Houston made a lot of rookie, quote-unquote, mistakes, and the Warriors were the vets, and the Warriors won the game that was in the balance.
11:48I'm also going to add this in, though, and whether people think this is fair or not.
11:51Go ahead.
11:52You're up, you're not only up 3-2 as the road team.
11:55You played two games without Jimmy Butler.
11:58Steph Curry's hand has something growing in it.
12:01And I am pregnant!
12:02And the Rockets are at 100% full strength all five games.
12:08And you're still winning.
12:10So I actually don't think it's that even of a series.
12:14I don't.
12:15I think that a lot of things have gone against the Warriors, and they're still ahead.
12:18Yeah, the Butler damn near get two games.
12:21And Pods got all sick all over himself for a game.
12:25So the circumstances have tilted at times in the Rockets' favor, and they've not taken advantage.
12:32And the circumstance of the game last night was the Rockets shot 69% from the floor in the first half.
12:40They were incredible.
12:4169% from the floor.
12:45And they shot 60 from three and 85 from the foul line, which is way out of character.
12:50So Houston was on such a heater, 76 points, you're up 27 at the break, and it's night-night.
12:56So Houston did what they did.
12:58They were phenomenal.
12:59The Warriors were flat.
13:01Just kind of going through the motions.
13:02A little bit in that first quarter where the Warriors were up 8-5, and then they go three and a half minutes without a point.
13:08And Houston goes on a 15-0 run over that same period, and now you're down a dozen.
13:13It was over at that point.
13:14Man.
13:14You're listening to 95.7 The Game, KGMZ-FM, and HD1 San Francisco, always live on the free Odyssey app.
13:22Now broadcasting from the Laughing Monk Studios, Laughing Monk, righteously brewed in San Francisco.
13:29What did you think about the effort of the second team?
13:32That was fun.
13:33Gutsy.
13:33That was the lowest they cut it to.
13:35Was it 11 or 13?
13:3613.
13:3613.
13:37Yeah.
13:37My guy 0 for 7, Jack, couldn't matter.
13:39He looked like me at Knockout Diff trying to put it back in.
13:42He needs a mic and drill.
13:44What was that?
13:44He did a mic and drill, and he looked exactly like the 7-year-olds who try it.
13:49He did a mic and drill.
13:50The ball just does not want to go in to cut it to 11.
13:54He's like, I'm going to use my left hand.
13:55I'm going to try my right hand.
13:56Nope.
13:57Still don't have anything.
13:58Pass Mr. can play on my team anytime.
14:00I've always liked him.
14:01Snyder, you got to back me up.
14:03Dude, he's got something.
14:04He reminded me of you and Danny A.
14:06Yeah.
14:06And I love it, and I love the feistiness, but, and this is my thing, if you're going to use the headbutt as a technique,
14:13then you use the headbutt.
14:15You go ahead and crack that man right across the nose, and let's see Shen Goon bleed a little bit.
14:20Instead of the little, my two-year-old daughter calls it, she calls it a nosy nuzzle.
14:25When you, like, nosy nuzzle, and, you know, she's two and a half, and it's like, oh, it's so cute.
14:30And that's kind of what Pat Spencer did.
14:31It was a nosy nuzzle.
14:32Kind of like Halliburton's dad and Giannis.
14:35Right.
14:35Like, if Halliburton's dad is going to come out here, come with some heat.
14:40Don't come with your nyeh-nyeh-nyeh energy.
14:42He had a towel.
14:43Now he's saying he didn't say anything, you know.
14:45He didn't use it.
14:46OBS didn't say anything.
14:47I thought you were sipping.
14:49Showing a towel to Giannis.
14:51Now, can I throw this at you guys, though?
14:53Go ahead.
14:54I'd love to hear your response to this.
14:55I thought the Rockets made a huge mistake getting sucked into that last night.
14:59I thought that was tremendously stupid.
15:01I thought Shingun was going to be making himself unavailable.
15:04You are a seven-foot all-star.
15:07Yeah.
15:08No.
15:08And you're tangling with Patrick Spencer.
15:14Have some self-respect.
15:16And I thought he did the hand-butt first.
15:18And you got the Warriors' attention now.
15:21You went and got their attention.
15:23That was super dumb.
15:24I'm sorry.
15:25You got sucked in up against the 13th and 14th man on the bench
15:29who have absolutely no effect in this series whatsoever.
15:33That was definitely.
15:34And I guess he was reacting to GP2s.
15:36And it was a pretty hard foul on throwing Dylan Villenbrooks to the ground.
15:41Was it GP2?
15:43Yeah, I thought that too.
15:43No, it was Pat Spencer and Moody.
15:45I'm looking at it right now.
15:46Yeah, it was Moody.
15:47GP2 wasn't even on the floor.
15:49No.
15:51But he was protecting this guy that had just got thrown to the floor.
15:54Pat Spencer.
15:57Dude, don't disrespect Pat Spencer.
15:58Wait a minute.
16:00I'm not here for Pat Spencer's slander.
16:02Flip it around.
16:03Yeah, exactly.
16:04Draymond Green gets into a Nuzzy Nuz match with Bob.
16:10Bob, the 13th man on the Rockets.
16:14How are you feeling?
16:14Oh, we'd be livid.
16:15That's embarrassing.
16:17That is embarrassing.
16:19It wouldn't happen.
16:20I know he's 22, but Shingun, you should be ashamed of yourself.
16:25Yeah, I didn't look at it like that.
16:26That's a mistake.
16:27I got the Warriors' attention last night.
16:29We got Pat Spencer's attention.
16:31No, the bench was activated by that.
16:35They were into it.
16:36So, it was the Warriors' Scribini's were not trying to bait the Rockets' starters.
16:43It doesn't matter if they were.
16:44You're the starters.
16:45You're an all-star.
16:46Don't get baited into that by Patrick.
16:48This is one where if the shoe were on the other foot, and Curry's got to be out there
16:56to put away a game, and here comes Cam Whitmore and Jock Lawndale, the Warrior fans would be
17:03like, look at these goons trying to start something with our starters.
17:06I just said, the comp is if Draymond Green went after Cam Whitmore, that'd be embarrassing
17:11for Draymond.
17:12No, but I look at it the other way.
17:13It was Cam Whitmore going after Draymond.
17:16That's fine.
17:17Yeah, well, I mean, you've got to be above that, dude.
17:19Yeah, I don't know.
17:20You're an all-star.
17:21Yeah, I mean, if you're going after a lacrosse player, look at the Scribini comes at like
17:25the Scribini's trying to hurt him.
17:27First of all, this whole thing started because of something that in this series is pretty
17:32innocuous.
17:33That foul on Dylan Brooks in this series, that is no big deal, and you're going to get all
17:39up in arms about that in a game where you're up by 30 points, and Dylan the villain
17:45had to fall down, which is literally something he does on every play.
17:50You can't get sucked into that.
17:53That's stupid.
17:54Well, game was down to 13 at that point.
17:55Man, divs.
17:56Potentially in the bounce, and you mentioned it.
17:58TJD scores to cut it to 13 with five to go.
18:01The next possession, Moody misses a layup.
18:04This is incredible.
18:05Spencer misses a three.
18:06Knox misses a fadeaway.
18:07And then Key misses a putback.
18:10They had four shots before Houston even got a chance to get the ball.
18:13It was like Charles Smith when he was with the Knicks trying to score on Pippen and Jordan.
18:16Oh, my God.
18:16It had four or five cracks at it.
18:19Put it in.
18:19That looked like a Nerf hoop game in the living room.
18:22Yep.
18:23Good Lord.
18:24Pat Spencer, by the way, becomes the first player ejected from a game this year in the playoffs.
18:30So there you go.
18:31Wow.
18:31Who had that?
18:32Bring that to the barn, Razor.
18:33He's lost one million.
18:35Yeah, yeah.
18:36And I would say, is that a good look?
18:39It doesn't matter.
18:40Right.
18:41It doesn't matter.
18:42Well, I mean, it does.
18:43I mean, all I'm saying is if you're not a Warrior fan, you look at that and say,
18:48they put this goon in there to try to start something with a player who's better on the other team.
18:55But you know that wasn't the case.
18:57What do you mean?
18:58Wait, but Stiney.
18:58He raved a white flag.
19:00That's why Spencer was in.
19:00No, but that's the point.
19:02But Stiney.
19:02So Spencer's got to go up against Shang-Goon.
19:04You're damn right he would have loved to get into a little scuffle with him.
19:07No, but you're making it about Shang-Goon, and that's not where it started.
19:10Do you believe that what happened to Dylan Brooks was worthy of everybody getting chest to chest?
19:15I mean, there's been a lot of plays like that this series.
19:17I mean, I'm sorry.
19:19If you're the Rockets starters and you're playing Pat, like, come on.
19:24Come on.
19:25Be the two seed and freaking do your thing.
19:29You got fouled.
19:30It wasn't even that hard of a foul.
19:32I'm not getting sucked into that.
19:34That's on you.
19:36Bad look, Shang-Goon.
19:38I can see why a star player would take offense to a guy who nobody's heard of trying to be all physical and aggressive and trying to bait.
19:52Again, I think you're jumping from point A to point B, though.
19:55Point A was not that big of a deal.
19:57It was just a foul, and Dylan Brooks fell down.
20:01No big deal.
20:02Well, it wasn't even as hard as what Jimmy Butler did to him the night before.
20:05So then what was Spencer's role in any of this?
20:08Well, Spencer was the one who kind of threw him out of bounds.
20:11And Moses was there.
20:12Spencer can't get the ball, and he just gives him a little forearm to the back.
20:16And, you know, Brooks definitely, he flew a lot more easily because he knew he would get the foul.
20:22And then Shane Goon's got to come in and take up for his guy.
20:25And so, yeah, it's great.
20:26Yeah, and he gives Pat a shoulder.
20:28Shoulders are fine.
20:29Yeah, seven-foot all-star gives shoulder to Pat from the stands.
20:35Come on.
20:36That's enough of the disrespect on Pat Spencer.
20:38What are we doing?
20:3911 points.
20:40What are we doing?
20:41He was instrumental in the comeback.
20:43What are we doing?
20:44The problem with Spencer is he still thinks he's playing lacrosse with a helmet.
20:47Like, that's the problem.
20:49And TJD, he got his.
20:51I ain't playing.
20:52Let me push anybody, dear.
20:53That's right.
20:54You can't get, I'm sorry, you can't get sucked into that.
20:57That's what that was to me.
20:58I'd say the same thing if the shoe was on the other foot.
21:01And in real time, will it I go if Shane Goon gets, I was thinking down the road, you fail
21:08for the bait against their non-starters.
21:11Like, why are you doing this?
21:13Because maybe you thought Spencer's trying to hurt somebody.
21:16Or maybe they're thinking Spencer is trying to provoke a fight because we know sometimes
21:21how things go.
21:22And if you trade Spencer for Shane Goon, game six?
21:28Don't you think that's an overreaction?
21:30Because again, it wasn't.
21:31I'm not saying it isn't.
21:32But it wasn't Spencer versus Shane Goon.
21:34Dylan Brooks got fouled.
21:36Shane Goon ran over, took exception, and gave him a shove.
21:40Gave him a shoulder.
21:41Little Patrick.
21:43He gave him a shoulder.
21:44Well, first of all, he's about 6'6".
21:45Well, he's not.
21:47He's pretty strong.
21:48He's 5'2", next to Shane Goon.
21:50Wow.
21:50And of course, Pat can stand up for himself.
21:52He's a phenomenal athlete.
21:54I know the whole story, but that's not my point.
21:56In the scheme of what we're talking about here, he's a nobody.
22:01Yep.
22:01And that's why players who are important in this series on the other team might tend to
22:08look at that and say, get out of here, man.
22:11You 14th man.
22:13It was just a foul.
22:14We know what you're trying to do.
22:16It was just a foul.
22:16We know what you're trying to do.
22:17It might have been.
22:18It wasn't anything compared to what Dylan's been doing for the last five games, going
22:22after Steph's thumb.
22:24Dylan is an important player, and Steph's an important player.
22:28Spencer's not an important player.
22:29Dylan admitted to a microphone last night that he's a dirty player.
22:32Oh, please.
22:34Oh.
22:34Is that what he said?
22:35He said, I'm a dirty player?
22:37He said, absolutely, if I had an injured ankle, I would expect that I would go after it on
22:43purpose.
22:44What did the Timberwolves do to Luka last night?
22:47They knew he had a bad back, and they went at him.
22:49Oh, that's a terrible take.
22:51They did not.
22:51That foul that wrenched his back was DiVincenzo him on the shoulder from behind.
22:56He didn't go after his back.
22:58No.
22:58My point is, when he got a back injury, and he played the second half with a back injury,
23:04the Minnesota Timberwolves went at Luka every single time on defense, because they knew
23:10he wasn't 100%.
23:12Oh, no.
23:12That's different.
23:13That's not what I'm saying.
23:14Dylan Brooks is saying, if I had an ankle, I'd try to drive around the guy.
23:17That's not what he's saying.
23:18He's saying, if I had an ankle, I'd go after the ankle.
23:21No.
23:22He said it.
23:23He said, yes, the question was about going after Steph's thumb, not going after the
23:30weak gazelle in the group, meaning like I'd attack it.
23:33No.
23:34Like I'd attack physically, Jalen Rose style.
23:37Okay.
23:37Do you think Dylan Brooks tried to hurt Steph Curry last night?
23:41And all the other games, too.
23:43We'll have to agree to disagree there.
23:45That's all.
23:45I mean, Draymond said he thinks it's obvious.
23:48Okay.
23:49Well, then it's take it to the gospel.
23:51Well, like Draymond.
23:52And then you asked from the horse's mouth, and he didn't deny it.
23:57He said, that's what I would do.
23:58Of course.
23:59Ask, were you trying to go after Steph's thumb?
24:01That's what I would do if I were.
24:03When I heard him say it, and I heard the quote, my thought was, he was saying, if I'm playing
24:08against the guy with a bad ankle, I'm going to go at him.
24:12No.
24:12Well, play it here.
24:14Granny's got it.
24:15No, I've been playing the game.
24:16Shoot.
24:17If you're going to come play the game injured, or whatever you got.
24:20That's all about the game.
24:22You know, if I had an injured ankle, I would attack that ankle every single time.
24:28I would not attack the player.
24:29How do you attack an ankle?
24:31I don't know.
24:31He's the one who brought up the body part.
24:33He meant attack the ankle.
24:34I looked at it as attack the ankle by going by it.
24:38I vehemently disagree with that.
24:40I mean, my God.
24:41He said it.
24:42He used the body part.
24:43He did not say we would attack the player by trying to score on him because he's weakened.
24:48He said, I'd go after the ankle.
24:50I would try to hurt the player.
24:52No, that's your interpretation.
24:55You're darn right it is.
24:56That's fair.
24:56Well, and not every contact to the thumb is illegal, as you know.
25:02Also true.
25:03Also true.
25:03The rule, as far as contacting the shooter's hand, it depends on how much of the follow-through
25:08that shooter's been able to complete.
25:10So, you can go about contacting a shooter and not have it be illegal.
25:15There's a difference between incidental contact and contact that is aggressive, purposeful,
25:21and meant to potentially injure the shooter, and that comes down to the referee's discretion.
25:27That thing is humongous, man.
25:29It is.
25:29It's incredible.
25:30He's not using it as excuse at all.
25:32I buy what Steve Kerr said, which is that there's a rule that the NBA put in, and they
25:36did not mean it for players to do this, which is to say the refs are not going to call a foul.
25:43The NBA meant it.
25:44You're not going to call a foul anymore when hands touch each other after the ball's been
25:49released on a shot.
25:50And Steve said, now you have players going, oh, that means I can purposefully whack your
25:56hand after you've released the ball.
25:59That's not what they meant for it to be, and he's right.
26:02They'll probably change the rule next year.
26:03And had Dylan Brooks not had his hand on the midsection area, Butler shoot that three and
26:07hit the hand, no foul.
26:10Wow.
26:11Yeah.
26:12What time you got Steve Kerr today?
26:13Five o'clock.
26:14Five o'clock.
26:14Steve Kerr.
26:15You never could tell if they won or lost.
26:17You guys will do a good job.
26:18He'll be fine.
26:19He'll be fine.
26:19Of course.
26:20Of course.
26:21Yes.
26:21All right.
26:22We'll bring it home, guys.
26:24Steve Kerr at five o'clock.
26:26And tomorrow night, don't forget, six o'clock tip off at Chase Center.
26:30It's not the seven o'clock normal Friday start.
26:33Six o'clock, so get there early.
26:35Game six.
26:35Tomorrow at Chase.
26:37Don't go anywhere.
26:37gonna be back.
26:37linear.
26:38All right.
26:38Bye.
26:38Bye.
26:38Bye.
26:39Bye.
26:39Bye.
26:40Bye.
26:40Bye.
