Transcript
00:00i did a game of peace obviously no stephan curry for the foreseeable future in this one
00:04but it's going back to chase center tomorrow and you did your job overall but it was disappointing
00:10there were some disappointing aspects yesterday that we're going to continue to discuss
00:13draymond green near ejection jimmy butler not quite good enough there were some positives
00:19but it was a mixed bag overall um joe i tease heading into this jk but i do think the big story
00:28for a lot of people and i'm seeing it on first take i'm seeing it on get up i'm seeing it everywhere
00:31it was what took place after the game and it was this quote from draymond green who again got a
00:37technical foul on nas reed after he did a spinning back fist that you know joe rogan would be impressed
00:42with in the ufc but here's draymond uh just one statement one statement only in the locker room
00:48after the game look like the angry black man i'm not an angry black man i'm a very successful educated
00:54black man with a great family and i'm great at basketball i'm great at what i do to keep the
00:59agenda to try to keep making me look like an angry black man it's crazy i'm sick of it it's ridiculous
01:04and that was after the game yesterday and as i alluded to he did have a technical foul
01:08and i guess there was an interaction between some fans he was on the elliptical on the side
01:13um there was a lot happening but all i know is they need draymond at his best in this series
01:20they need him at his best and they need him on the court so yeah um there was a lot yesterday to
01:28say the least i don't know i have a very hard time like deciphering what was said right there and what
01:35you know he wants all of us to talk about today i don't even know if he wants us to talk about it
01:38but we're going to because he's such a huge part of this team and i want to talk about the player i
01:44want to talk about just on the court stuff but you know that it was off the court yesterday and on the
01:50court he hit nazare in the face and it deserved a technical foul it did i'm always here for the
01:56fan behavior conversation because i just do think that not everyone but a small percentage of idiots
02:02think that because they buy a ticket they can say whatever they want and do whatever they want
02:08and act however they want and that's just not true and you have a small percentage of people
02:13which leaves an imprint on you and i want to make it very clear like a small percentage of idiots
02:19who say things that are completely unacceptable in every walk of society as i sent you the video
02:25so yeah so a fan was ejected at last night's timberwolves warriors game for directing a racial
02:30slur at draymond per the team's security green was on a stationary bike in the tunnel near the bench
02:36when he had a back and forth with a fan so i'm seeing this for the first time you just i don't
02:40know when exactly when that was and nor do i look there's an element of like it's impossible for
02:46me to tell draymond you got to shake it off and not think about it just keep on going i'm not him
02:50i don't know what was exactly said it's hard to decipher in the video you can't really hear it it's
02:56but clearly he was upset and i understand that um and it's easy for me to say compartmentalize and
03:03move on it's a lot harder to actually do that now what we saw on the floor in the first quarter
03:08was a guy that just looked a little tentative you know um and this is before he went onto the
03:13stationary bike and then whatever happened with him and nas read in the official it just can't
03:20happen it just can't happen right now and so i'm i'm gonna separate the two incidents as best i can
03:25i don't know if he did i hope that he did but let's separate them and it's like with steph out we
03:31can't have you get a flagrant get a technical we can't have you lose emotional focus this team
03:38the margin of error with steph isn't big and the margin of sarah without steph is
03:43yeah i mean minuscule isn't even a word to describe it so if draymond is not going to stay focused and
03:50he's not going to play locked locked in really good not berating officials not worrying about the
03:56opponent just playing ball like if he's not going to play that standard of ball yeah the warriors have
04:02no shot and listen shasky yes shasky and i will never understand or can understand you know getting
04:11racial slurs thrown at us just not we're never going to be able to be a small taste of that would
04:16be when we went to philadelphia and that's why it left such an imprint on me yes because and i'm not
04:21trying to pretend like i it was directed at me but seeing it through his prison for just a second it was
04:26like wow i had to hold him back in the sense of like i can't even imagine like and it was it again
04:33this is why it it's why i hate philly so much and it's not all of philly it's a small percentage and
04:37again you can find these people anywhere same with the t wolves same with any fan base there's going
04:41to be a few knuckleheads and there's idiot minor fans idiot giants fans and idiot you know everything
04:46you're right there are idiots all over the world but it doesn't make it right no it doesn't and listen
04:51that doesn't mean that you can't be pissed you can be pissed on the receiving end absolutely you can
04:56be pissed and i remember you know multiple times in multiple games and situations where
05:01you know draymond's gotten kicked out and maybe it was fan related maybe it was not
05:04but in yesterday's circumstance given everything that's taken place and you already mentioned it
05:09stephan curry being out that guy and jimmy butler need to be your best players they just they just need
05:15to be they need to be your best and most consistent players and him even flirting with ejection
05:20was just tough if you're a fan watching that game it's like draymond we need you we need steph had to
05:24come out onto the court to talk him down steve kerr actually talked about it after the game um you
05:29know draymond that's what makes him a competitor overall and that fieriness and that that tenacity
05:34is what makes him a hall of famer uh at the end of the day it's part of it's part of draymond you
05:40know his the same thing that makes him such a competitor and a winner puts him over the top sometimes and
05:47you know we we know that and uh it's our job to try to help him stay poised stay composed but the
05:54competition uh is so meaningful meaningful to him that you know occasionally he he goes over the line
06:01shout out to those watching on twitch twitter and youtube brought to you by first norcal credit union
06:05for a low rate auto loan apply online or just ask for first norcal financing at the dealer joe
06:08i i agree with him but i would say that like the next sentence i would have put in there if it was me
06:14um would have been but in this game and in that setting and without steph we can ill afford to
06:20have him do that yeah right like it's just it's it's impossible like again if i were to tell everyone
06:25hey draymond for whatever reason either became emotionally or or was ejected actually ejected
06:31but emotionally was ejected from the game most people like yeah they got no chance no no he needs to be
06:36there mentally that's without steph yes right no that absolutely and that's why it was frustrating
06:41because draymond's been playing his ass off he's been playing tremendous and tenacious defense
06:46game seven game one back to back great games he was shooting the three ball like the the score that
06:51is draymond green like 2016 scoring draymond we've seen in spurts i was like wow if we get this version
06:57of draymond green yeah we can win this series but if you get that version that you saw yesterday
07:00you're not that's why it was frustrating and yeah and again i'm not um i'm not gonna fault draymond
07:06because i'm not in his body like i understand the frustration i understand the anger i mean the
07:12fan got ejected that the he had to go because he was spouting those things off yeah that would bother
07:16me if like not to compare it but like if i'm doing this show and i'm getting like heckled from someone
07:21over there someone comes in starts talking smack about me we get heckled yeah we get heckled on the
07:26text line and in our dms and online all the time and we want to say it doesn't get to us but no it
07:31does it does it gets everyone but you have to compartmentalize it and also does it make it
07:36appropriate now what i can do on some of these things i can literally block someone to where i
07:41don't see the messages when you're in the arena and literally you can't block them so there there's
07:46a level of difference it's it's not going to be the same you know what i'm saying no it's not it's
07:50not but i but i do understand the element of the metaphor of being able to move on and you know
07:56compartmentalize and all that it's easier said than done i guess is what i would say absolutely and we
08:00are coming to you live from the laughing monk studios laughing monk righteously brewed in san
08:04francisco and again in about 30 minutes we're going to give you another opportunity to win a pair of
08:08tickets to the golden state valkyries i got a home opener what are you laughing about i gotta tell a
08:12story because it's so funny no like we were doing a live remote one time out at levi's stadium me and
08:17monte hilton yeah outside we're outdoors and people like you never had anyone yelling in your face
08:24i literally had the microphone like this and a steeler fan there was like a fence like a get one of
08:30those like gates that you would put up sure block people from driving a barricade a barricade exactly
08:34there you go and this guy this guy was literally nose to nose with me screaming in my face screaming
08:44in my face as i was doing the post game show and i kept backing up and backing up and backing up and
08:49i was trying to do the show and bonte's grabbing me he's like focus chaski focus chaski and i'm like
08:54the guy is screaming in my face and out of nowhere one of the security guards at the hilton just comes
09:00walking this big i mean the guy's like a rhino comes over picks dude up underneath the armpits
09:06lifts him up and just backs him up out of the way and and it was it was the tiniest ever so like
09:12metaphor of of what these guys go through for the entire game okay i don't know what happened i'll be
09:18the first admit i was rattled i was rattled in the moment how does it is what i'm getting at is
09:24it's easy to say you gotta move on but it's a lot harder to actually perform when someone is
09:31literally face to face with you screaming at you what about that steeler fan like did he end up
09:35fighting back there's no what no he was he's just a big heavy set guy he's huge okay he was hammered
09:41okay of course and just screaming in my face there you go i'm calling telling me to like lock in and
09:47calm down was not locking me in or calming me down and again tiny little metaphor not the same
09:53it's not racial slurs it's not attacking my family god knows what people say i mean you can hear the
09:59chants draymond sucks draymond sucks i've been in the arena when boston was yelling blank you draymond
10:05blank you i'm sure they were shouting much worse we know the boston fan i was rattled i wasn't even
10:10draymond there you go uh dennis is in san francisco he wants to discuss this 888-957-9570 is the
10:16number dennis good morning how we feeling about that uh draymond technical and him having to get
10:22pulled back from steph yesterday turn off the radio dennis we hear yourself turn the dennis turn
10:31the radio off yeah yeah get out of here get out of here dennis you gotta be locked in he was not
10:35locked in there so you just eject him yeah he's gone he's gone i pulled the tony brothers out of here
10:39speaking of um steve kerr though and he was talking this was actually i thought pretty good yesterday
10:44he was he was tame there was so much crying going on from everyone uh draymond crying the wolves
10:50crying there's a lot of like everyone come on man we gotta stop with every single time like every
10:57single thing needs to be challenged and reviewed and looked at like as a viewer watching the game it's
11:04so it breaks the momentum of the watch we were talking about it yesterday like it drives me like
11:09pat spencer one when he got blocked it's like oh this is taking forever chris finch was upset he even
11:14had to challenge the call we've got to expedite it can we do the expedite review because everyone's
11:17upset about it the wolves the warriors like how about when they all went to the bench and they're
11:21like we're not going to a timeout here i'm like what are we doing i just went to a timeout
11:26like ridiculous but uh here's steve kurt talking about taking draymond out when he was upset
11:31after the technical foul call yeah i could see you know he had gotten pretty upset and i just didn't
11:37want him to to uh you know get another technical so i took him out at that point and i know he's
11:43gonna have to be careful now he's um two techs away he's gonna have to stay composed obviously
11:47we need him and i'm confident that he will because he knows you know he knows the circumstances
11:54so that's steve kerr on it here's jimmy butler after the game who was also trying to calm draymond
11:58down alongside stefan curry um and he was asked about draymond getting his fifth technical foul
12:03of the playoffs i think he knows we all know i thought he got fouled and you know maybe he's trying
12:09to sell the call somebody got hit um but it's just it's crazy every time he does something
12:16it's always a review and it always ends up being something of that nature like you said he got
12:21five he knows he got five so he knows how much we need him now more than ever so i don't think he
12:26gets to seven yeah trying to sell a foul i don't know did we hear that from uh nirkich last year he's
12:32like i was trying to sell a foul dude he backhand slapped him you pimp slapped him i mean let me give
12:36jimmy he's new here you know so i'll give him a student anything can happen when it comes to
12:41draymond you could get brilliant draymond going for 20 10 and 10 you could get i don't want to play
12:47tonight draymond and i'm obsessed with this guy elbowing me you could get uh this particular
12:52referee slighted me he could get mad at his own teammates we don't like it's a it's a mixed bag
12:59so we still got this entire series we got a potential next series if they advance then after
13:04that if they advance got a lot of games still to go potentially and draymond the technical fouls
13:09are stacking up and if they lose him for any game at all you know that's the heart and soul of your
13:14defense that you're gonna lose just like the heart and soul of the offense is stephan curry
13:17yeah i don't want to be losing draymond green and then jimmy butler he's gonna have to take 30
13:22field goal attempts if both of those guys are out that's the last thing this team needs because
13:27it's already hard without steph if you're losing steph and draymond you're cooked
13:30you're cooked i'm sorry it's over it's a wrap it did you feel like he um and this is like just
13:36again through the television did you feel like he was locked in yesterday because i i never got that
13:42sense from him not that he wasn't trying hard but there's a different level of focus when he like
13:46there are games where you could see it coming did i feel like this had the same energy as game five of
13:51last series yes within the first three minutes oh really that's in the first three minutes the game
13:56was over within the first few minutes are you talking about draymond or the team i'm talking
14:00about the team and the mentally locked in aspect of it because steve kerr talked about that in game
14:05five last a couple weeks ago or last week whenever it was god these series are all blended together
14:09he's like yeah i i knew within the first couple fouls that we weren't ready you see i for me like
14:14i there was clunky but i didn't think they they didn't try hard because they were getting second
14:18chance opportunities their execution was awful and guys were a little afraid of the moment i didn't get
14:23the sense on draymond until the flagrant situation and that's when i was like dude you gotta rein it
14:28in here like because it was a seminal point in the game it felt like the warriors were kind of crawling
14:32back up it was one of those you look up god we're lucky to be down 14 right we're still in this and i do
14:38i do that as a player as a fan coach like hey guys we're right where we want them like it just cut
14:43this to single digits and then when he lost control he's like all right he needs to go sit on the bench for
14:48a minute yeah he needs to gather himself we might not be able to to get him back you know focus wise in
14:53this game
