N [Applause] a Yeah [Applause] [Applause] La pulls up another deep one is good Ryan ruko a call for ESPN alongside Rebecca Lobo and look we got Warriors and mavers later today we’re going to touch on the Giants and Dodgers and the Giants lineup That kind of looks disgusting right now one through nine um
In terms of just the order or whatnot but they lose to the Dodgers yesterday but I thought the women yesterday stole the show and kudos to those young ladies from USC from Yukon from LSU and of course from Iowa and Caitlyn Clark and the show she
Put on yesterday the hype that was put put on this game shasi uh with Iowa and LSU I think everybody was watching it’s going to break ratings records it was just an unbelievable atmosphere unbelievable theater and you get CIT M Clark daing nine threes nine made threes scored 41 points dropping 12 assists
Seven rebounds and that’s where we’re going to start we’re going to get the ladies of Love here shasi the women’s basketball tournament has delivered time and time again and with the names getting bigger and bigger and bigger all those young ladies Paige Beckers Juju Watkins agel Reese Caitlyn Clark they
All delivered yesterday yeah it was unbelievable theater I was at the edge of my seat yesterday just watching both like getting chills from all the big shots these young ladies were making in the tournament game you know um I’m uh clearly biased I admit this on the front
End okay I’ve been to probably 50 uh women’s high school basketball games in the last two years because of my niece and you know watching the women’s game my appreciation has gone through the roof in the last decade from just coaching a lot of young girls that are
Playing ball that are now getting into high school that are going to the next level and to watch that game yesterday there was star power across the board I mean clearly Kon Clark is an intoxicating star when it comes to like she pops on the television right poing
Ian she she’s incredible and like we could talk about her for but like then I look at LSU and LSU has stars everywhere that young girl uh I can’t even pronounce her first name she had like six blocks she was unbelievable in terms of blocks and then Angel Reese clearly a
Dominant post player um oh you’re talking about fly J Johnson thank you flyj something special she had like three chase down blocks J’s nasty she was ridiculous and then Kim is one of the great villains in sports right now and so feeling the energy pop through television I’m all about big games like
I love big games I don’t even have to be that dialed in if it’s a big game Bruce Mahoney big game you know it’s a high school local event if it’s a UFC uh 300 in two weeks big game turkey day turkey day I’m glad you said that like turkey
Day the jungle game SI versus Sarah like there are certain games that to me like all right I lean forward and you know Monday Night Football certain matchups still do it for me you know they they they just do and since the Super Bowl I think yesterday was one of the more
Entertaining games that I’ve seen in any sport across the board no doubt about it I was thoroughly entertained yeah I’m trying to think of a game since the Super Bowl that I was just jacked up about that was just really really good and the Warriors and and we’re getting
To something steiny said yesterday because I think we were kind of alluding to it yesterday as well in terms of our energy coming off a 401 road trip I think Warrior fans are smart enough to know and I know Warrior f are smart enough to know it’s like look yeah you
Do go for a one on a road trip but look at the teams that you beat there wasn’t a lot of Sizzle and from where the Warriors have come from over the last decade how much is it really hitting them that they’re battling for a playin spot when they’ve been battling for
Finals appearances in championships for so many years but that’s up but but this whole tournament like it started even last weekend it look like you I’ve been biased with women’s sports because I covered it for a long time I got to know these young ladies some of my favorite
Memories at City College of San Francisco is covering Britney Allen and Marley rice and Monet peoples Shante Taylor Robin’s daughter oh uh that that team was so fun to cover I I got the PA announc I got the write articles about them but even the high school teams here
In the city I covered a lot of Si girls basketball I covered a lot of scker heart girls basketball covered a lot of LOL and Washington and leol and Li wber and you name it so I I’ve always been a fan of the game because it takes a lot
Of skill Dominique my niece uh shout out to Leon out there who’s been running around the bar SE Club SE for many many years worker security but his daughter’s played in accidental and they were in the tournament this year they won their league championship and watching Dominique grow and ball out go to
Liquoring and now go to ocidental the girl the women’s game it takes a lot of skill man ball heading shooting Precision nice passing cutting defensive communication all that stuff but to see it grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and you got the legend you got the
Legends involved in the game the Don stainley in the world Chara vender still T her thing you know har was going back to another final four uh his 23rd final four and stars now they’re getting their love with the nil deals the Nike deals the Adena deals and now they’re popping
Off I just the whole tournament the women’s tournament starting last week at the farm where Iowa State and Stafford are trading three-point shots in overtime it’s been rivey stuff Shas it really has well and I look at yesterday’s game as a great example of the contrast of styles that I think we
Kind of grew to love you have a dominant post player in Angel Reese who plays traditional and I think a lot of us miss that style even though joic is in the league he does different and the traditional you know back to the basket
Big I mean this guy can do anything on a basketball court but Angel ree is a throwback she’s rugged and that LSU team I mean they they got a lot of players I mean a lot of players on that team um and then you watch the way Iowa plays
And freedom of movement and you have a point guard that’s going to try to push the tempo and it’s got a show timey feeli to it because they play without the ball very well they play in transition well when they showed the stat 42% of all Caitlyn Clark’s assists
Are in transition I’m not surprised cuz her vision on the floor is unbelievable and the way she kicks It Forward she okay this is I’m not even being hyperbolic when I watch her clearly there’s an aura and a presence I see a Le uh a Larry Bird Steph Curry hybrid
Type of a player where she can get to any spot on the floor that she wants get into the lane she can create for others she can play off ball she can play on ball clearly the shooting range is there and then she has this screw you kind of
Toughness attitude to her she’s an excellent excellent player I me she I love watching her pee I really do she she she’s really good I mean look I’m not going to compare her to the great ones there I wanted to get to I hear you
I hear you no I hear you I underrated her Court Vision I knew she could shoot the three very very well but her Court Vision in this tournament is just popped off popped off to Chay no she’s she’s about that life and I do love the 10-minute quarters I think the mids game
Didn’t go to 10-minute quarters like that was the best thing I think that happened to women’s college basketball when they went to the quarter system I was like oh this is legit so you got you got her and then Paige Beckers who we’ve all forgotten about in the night cap
Against Juju Watkins and you had a little more slow down game it’s more of a chess game which I love because it was a three-point game going into the fourth quarter and paig Becker’s getting buckets now you get Paige Beckers against Caitlyn Clark in one sign in the
Final four you get d s in undefeated South Carol against NC State who’s rated threes over everybody but Caitlyn Clark her Aura she’s the real deal and she’s a good Ambassador for this game man there’s no doubt there’s a lot of pressure on her to deliver against LSU and she’s been
Classy the entire time even last year when she lost in the national championship and Angel Reese was talking and waving bye-bye and Kayla Clark said it’s all good trash talk is okay I’m cool with angel angel and angel said the same thing he’s like look there’s nothing personal it’s called Sports it’s
I don’t know why yeah there’s I have no problem with it whatever it’s it is wild to me because we’ve had a lot of women stars like myam Moore was a star Diana terazzi these are stars well Brianna Stewart is a star to New York Sabrina uh
Unesc uncu excuse me but now they have the platform to be able to perform and I think having it on a Monday night where it’s kind of quiet time of the year I mean they fully took advantage of the window yesterday and it was Rangers Rays
On one television you know and I flipped over the second the game was about to start and it was on ESPN and I’m like all right here we go and I had whatever the two or three hour window until the Giants game started it was a perfect
Slot for them to get that game in I’m very intrigued to see if the entire country was intoxicated like I was my wife was sitting there enjoying it with me I think I think the country was I I think the country looked forward to this
I mean pman Jones kind of made the comp like this could be you LV Duke from 91 that’s how and you know what it was it was a poville with vet the the young point guard who trash about Louisville kid Moi leaving her on island against Caitlyn Clark her defensive cames just
Sucked get F on her double trap do whatever you got to do to get the ball on give her to Steph Curry treatment you know what I’m saying like you know I’m not going to lie to you the Giants and Dodgers they were on my phone last night
Because I had to pay respect to Juju Watkins and Paige Beckers in Yukon and let me tell you Juju Watkins is only a freshman and she just broke the scoring record basically she so smooth it’s pretty incredible I mean she’s so smooth and she will learn from that loss you
Can see the emotion after the game she was crying to and the jerseys were just Jers po the curses as much as I don’t like La in general the SoCal uh jerseys are pretty hard they’re pretty they’re pretty sick and in Paige Becker’s just coming off screens mid rage three-pointers floaters
Going to the cup just willing youah to a victory up there at Portland Oregon I thought both games delivered on a very now I know a lot of people watch probably a lot more people watch Angel ree versus Caitlin Clark in Iowa versus ellu but the USC ukah game did not
Disappoint whatsoever so I think women’s basketball’s in a great great place and hopefully that momentum carries over to the WNBA when the Las Vegas ases they’ve had some great Series against the Seattle Storm they’ve had some great Series against the liberty so I’ll be here to see what happens when we get
This WNBA team out here how that translates when you have a Stafford play very very well and you have women women’s game Gro Bon this is what the old college basketball from men’s used to have was continuity you know just two two years two years of rivalries creates
An entire generation of fans that’s all you need you know I mean I think of Alabama versus Clemson what did that do for Southern football and what did that do for the NFL as all of those guys get baked into this rivalry and they all go
To the league yep no doubt it’s it’s a big deal and so like I I look at Ohio State versus Michigan yearly you know that that’s that’s always a thing but like these big- time rival when you get them backtack years it does resonate I
Want to go back to Iowa for just a second o Grady the the big Center was banging underneath with uh Angel Reese and then I I forget what the other uh girl’s name was the she kept having left-handed layup after left-and Li the way she was moving without the ball I
Don’t know if it was Murphy or whatnot Iowa’s team was moving without the ball catch and shoot the ambidextrous around the rim I was very impressed the team aspect 90 yeah you might be talking about Martin there it was 97 SC they all I mean they run up and
Down four girls played all the whole game well you had three girls played two girls played 40 minutes one girl played 39 the other played 37 the other one played 21 and I was d a foul trouble there LSU you had AEL Reese 36 minutes marrow 40 minutes flyj Johnson 37
Minutes van lith who was sick needed IVs how about that you need IVs you’re a bit sick and it’s like go car Caitlyn C 101 on an island poor girl and initiate offense and then initiate offense on the other side part do better man you got to do better
She’s just left her out there on the island is a very good player she’s a very good player she’s I feel so bad for her because you know Twitter’s going to Twitter or X whatever’s going to X but that’s part of sports that’s part of sports part of the mod sport it’s the
Unintended consequences of when the queue rating of the entire sport goes up you’re going to become a meme mhm n No Doubt Paige Beckers was player a year or freshman year and she did have that big time injury but she’s back she’s back in full effect and she is balling she is I
Think the stars star yeah I know you I can tell you don’t like Gino but I do have a respect for Gino continue like with all these coaches now with higher profiles with Kim Moy and Don Staley you got the UCLA coach you got everything
Lii gotle who formerly in Cal now at USC and you got goo there with the gray hair they were just showing re Lobo winning their first national championship at ukah back in 1995 and I remember that game I watched that game it was on CBS they played Tennessee it was always on
Uh usually on a Sunday morning back in the day because I remember when North Carolina beat Louisiana Tech at the B at the buzzer in a three anyway to see him still doing it with gray hair I do appreciate him like I hated Coach K for
The longest time then over the last five years I said you know what man this guy’s been doing it for so long there’s something that he’s doing there’s there’s a reason why he’s so good and still sent her kids there and then when they came out to the West Coast I was
Like all right I’m all about Coach K we got to see his last win here at San Francisco but goino with the gray hair and I know he’s prickly at times no he’s got Sabin like Wier qualities been winning for 30 years they all do though
Shasy they all a game for what felt like a decade and he had top three picks year after year after year and he’s always complaining that’s all that that’s just my particular opinion they all complain all these cultes could play I find him to be a tremendous whiner all these
Brian Kelly could play Sav could play Brian Kelly hasn’t sniffed even like a tenth of the amount of winning which why which is why he gets on my nerves with all the complaining he does all these guys complain at the highest of highest levels they’re always looking for an
Edge there so he makes a great villain yeah I I mean but he’s he’s kind of the OG now he’s like the grandpa now you know what I’m saying I kind of I kind I respect the hell out of G I hear you I like goo you know I got to find my
Enemies yeah I mean you you like every else you know I like to find my enemies Kim makes a great villain as well I think watching her on the sideline she’s she’s hilarious but Kim is out of her freaking mind yeah but that’s part of
But isn’t that part of it yeah but no she takes it to another level when Angel Reese gets called for the charge and she is losing her mind on the sidelines she takes it to another level because of some of the things she well she’s out of
Her mind exactly like Gino ain’t that crazy I appreciate her go doing her best cosplay of the Masters champion yesterday in that green next Thursday by the way she was actually tame yesterday that outfit was they got thoroughly dismantled well that was it was a tie game at in the second
Half I thought Iowa’s half court offense picked them apart well no what it was too is I think the pace got the lell sh I totally agree it was 45 45 it was 45 45 at the half like the first quarter was so I was eating pizza with baby chz
Took going to go the only way I could get out the house yesterday is go get some pizza go to the clean ice cream just down the street the Round Table but no we had got ice cream and you know I went to the clearers pick up some stuff
And I was like we got to get out the house it’s a nice day CH she just wanted to be in the house whatever um but we’re locked in on the that first quarter I was like did I just watch that like they
Came out it was like tip off P go and I was just like so I think the pace really got the LSU there you could see their shots were short they couldn’t get any left on those shots and they just got worn down man that’s a tough pace of
Play how’s Yuka going to deal with that pace I have no idea I don’t know but caylin Clark wasn’t even winded at all I mean she look like she could play a whole another game no she’s used to that I couldn’t believe it she’s used to that
Man like the third quarter was it 2413 Kayla Clark she had to move where she’s just k a LLY gagging went around the back ging in Just Just Nails I was like damn all right Caitlyn your CL chill took a logo shot though and chill they were up I don’t know I
Think 12 and I’m saying to myself I don’t love that sh and it had a huge Steph Curry feel to it where it’s like I get it you’re cooking but like can can we bleed a little clock here and get a better shot but I’m I’m happy though I’m
Truly happy cuz honestly I and I’m there’s no cap here grandma iie shout out to Grandma iie I used should be in her house and we watch all the W uh the NCAA Women’s Championship games going back when staffer was going to Charlotte North Carolina lost some young girl
Named sry I could never forget the name from Georgia uh she but then Tennessee remember they had the Tennessee documentary with P she’s yelling at these kids these kids are crying they figure out a way to win the championship right Sha Hol claw shica Kings and Carol
Awon who’s now coaching at uh at Duke University I’m glad the women’s game is getting their respect I’m glad there’s n like you know there’s going to be some creeps and some dirt bags out there who’s going to be misogynistic that oh I’m not going to watch a second woman I
Never the women’s game’s been good for a long long time the skills the shot making ability the pace of play like the women’s game they get up and down like s color San Francisco for example Jamie haes and now Derek L they did a great thing they still are seeking that state
Championship but they’ve played with a great pace for so long I’m glad it’s finally getting the appreciation and the names there’s no doubt now the women’s tournament with the names that they have is so much bigger than men’s tournament right now it’s not even funny and you
Said it continuity is a big reason why and and I also believe that like on some level like when the competition is through the roof you get the best out of everyone it becomes an entertaining product I think you know we we talk about baseball there’s too many games
There’s not a sense of urgency but we love play playoff baseball but there’s clearly way too many games the NBA what’s one of the biggest knocks of the NBA I don’t know who’s playing on a Tuesday load management they don’t care there’s 82 games there’s too many you’re
Watching that game yesterday and just for a one-off if that was the first time you ever tuned in you’re going to tune back in again well it’s a tournament game so no I know but that’s what makes it unique yeah no doubt but the one nature yeah but you can’t just get rid
Of the regular season like you got to have regular season no but I’m saying the buildup IS there and so it’ll lure you in yeah I hear you I hear you Rocco’s texting us man uh said he was locked in and Lake sat down and watched
For sure once she locked in she didn’t move that’s that’s impressive I think a lot of people were like that yesterday once you locked in you did not move and like all weekend long even the Elite 8 games or excuse me the sweet6 games I
Was like wooing like I do for an NBA game oh what a shot what why did she do that what the hell like the go that so many these girls are taking man these shots man it’s unbelievable I liked Ryan ruko on the broadcast he has grown on me

Very very scary very scary in a western conference but Giants Dodgers first time we got to see this uh the 2024 redition shasi Giants Dodgers down to Chavez Ravine and you just forget how much the Dodgers annoy you Dodge Stadium it gets loud you’ve been down the Dodger Stadium
Correct mm it gets super loud they PP in all the noise just like Seattle just like like Seattle there sound sound play like it’s like a concert I’m not going to lie it’s it’s not bad the lights in the different lights and they go dark once they in a home run I’m not
Mad at it pretty damn good it’s cool it’s pretty cool it’s pretty cool and their lightup is pretty cool too well let let’s let’s start here uh I said to you and I said it online and I’ll say it over and over I believe mie bets to be
One of the great players uh of the last I don’t know 40 or 50 years in baseball this guy can do everything normally when a guy can’t play the infield anymore they slide over to first base they DH maybe they go to the Outfield this guy was easily could have been a center
Field gold Glover moved to right field for Boston was an Elite Gold Glove right fielder one of the best arms range in the game moved to second base out of necessity because of the injuries they sustained with the Dodgers last year and it’s now they’re starting Short Stop
They’re starting shortstop now I tell you right now the Boston Red Sox trade is going to go down as one of the worst trades of the last 50 years it’s hard to argue with that and look time people like verdugo’s good I do like Verdugo but no mukie bets is mukie bets
Is all World Verdugo in four now he’s a Yankee now but in four years with Boston he had 280 hits 43 home runs last year alone Mookie Betts had 39 home runs and 180 hits I just don’t get get how the Red Sox and I get they were trying to
Shave save money he wanted to sa yeah oh I know he won the World Series ER he loved the Red Sox Jackie Bradley Jr was his boy Raphael Des was coming up they had JD Martinez rolling I don’t get like it is one of the worst trades I mean and
The Red Sox haven’t been the same since no they’ve not been the same and like I had to warm up to it being the wonder where I like to see things play out you know just we we always quick and Sport Sports culture three months into a trade
Like oh that’s terrible trade let’s see a play I would give Verdugo a sign oh it is it’s probably the worst Major League deal I’ve ever seen in my life I I don’t even know what comes close the bab Ruth trade but we weren’t that was 1918 you
Know what I’m saying come dude that was 120 years you see the I mean Happ almost 100 years apart like they got basically nothing for it and they made a team and the Dodgers incredibly good as a result honestly I don’t think I’ve ever seen the worst trade it may be the worst
Trade in all of sports so the Francisco Lindor trade which was a around that time not the same time but around that time they got back a guy who has been in All-Star at second base okay the the Guardians who most people don’t know like the Matt Olsson trade you early
Returns are yeah that was a great trade for the the Atlanta Braves Muki Betts is one of what is he top three players in the game Otani yeah he’s I mean he’s in a conversation do you get Freddy he’s in a conversation do you get Freddy Freeman
If you don’t get I don’t I don’t know do you get sh Otani if you don’t get M bet I don’t know I I think honestly it’s a conversation for one of the worst traits in sports history like Randy Moss go to the Patriots for a fourth round pick but
I get it because Randy Moss dog with the Raiders I thought he was watching I told you the storyy football draft I threw a Tipper tant because I was like I auto draft to ready boss I did not want him and he turns scor 23 touchdowns I was
Like oh my God I got ready boss like you know what saying like this guy’s incredible he’s good again you know but in all of when you think about all the bad trades in all the sports this one’s up there with the best of them like in all the sports I’m not
Just talking about BB vty for Kobe or the pick that would be deak had a pick for Kobe and because Kobe you know and look vlat was a really good player he was player it turns out to be a terrible trade by the Charlotte H but we knew
Kobe wasn’t going to the hes and this wasn’t a that wasn’t a cost cutting move that was like a selection and a draft pick and you get credit for the development this was one of the best players in the game Who as you referenced won the Red Sox award series I know
Against the Dodgers against the Dodgers how about that how about that I I just I can’t get over how bad and Connor Wong he’s a backup catcher Jeter DS at one time was a high Prospect like that’s why you take Major League Talent proven Talent over prospects all day long and
He’s killing that first play of the game last night um you know you lose the strike zone you got to come in mookie bets blasts one to the wall and I’m not don’t know how jungly uh Jung Le who jungho Lee excuse me didn’t hurt himself
Flying into the wall yeah I I thought first of all I thought he could have caught the ball I think he maybe lost the ball of the lights did anybody ask Jung Huli about that play crushed but he could have got that could have been a devastating injury he just Jung Huli
Beats wall wall beat J Huli I I don’t know somebody needs to ask him whether or not he lost the ball to the lights I thought it was a catchable ball I did too but but it said boom Triple G game’s over like right then and there like he
Just you could feel the energy out of the room and BS wasn’t even sprinting coming out of the box I I I think honestly I’m I’m stuck on this trade cuz I see 6 the wor 65 xinity mobile Tex line CMC trait was pretty bad by the Carolina actually really there’s no
Doubt about that CMC trait is pretty bad I mean there’s some bad trades another bad one for baseball the A’s trading Josh Donaldson who immediately won an MVP for Brett lorri Kendall gravan Franklin Berto I mean the A’s have a bunch on well I know but I’m saying he
Won an MVP literally the season the only sess is for Lester I still defend that one because they were going for it but I yeah you lost your forter and you get this in baseball you get some bad bad tra to baseball this one though this guy
Is just he’s got everything he’s got speed he’s got power he’s got range he’s got Charisma yeah I mean he’s a great bowler probably could have been a great football player great slotback every team every sport would want him to be their best player yeah no doubt because
Of how he represents the organization doubt no doubt and now he’s leading the Dodgers in this new look Dodger team and they’re loaded man I mean Paxton he didn’t have his great walk Five Guys whatever he’s whatever but you know you win eight3 and ke win I don’t think
Pitch bad for the Giants K he only walked one guy I can live with that I can live you hold that line up to three runs through five innings and you hand it over to the bullpen okay I’m cool but so far this Giants Bullpen has underwhelmed they’ve underwhelmed and
They’ve got to clean it up and they’ve got to pick this up in a heartbeat here they got to pick it up in a hurry with this lineup in the order the lineup I’m really having a problem with it in what world should Austin Slater be batting
Second on a Major League Line in a major league lineup why is he batting second shasi and then to get Solair batting third get him down to five right now get Solair down to five get conforto up because conforto’s cing the baseball right now he’s got three home runs you
Heard the call by Kye on NBC Sports Bay Area get Michael Cordo in the top five get EST strata up there if he’s not hurt so he’s batting 211 but why is he batting eighth why is Austin Slater batting second why is wber Flores batting right CH this is this lineup
Order it feels like farhan’s got his fingerprints over this or is this Bob Melvin is this what Bob Melvin does CU right now I do have a problem with the order of the lineup so I’m glad you’re bringing this up we all agree Jung Huli great acquisition thus far it’s early
Right you got they give him $100 million the guy looks like a player I mean he went the other way early on that bad I me he he’s a he’s a very good player two for five yesterday yeah I I I like him okay Jung great this team is just they
Think so highly of of these combination of players I just don’t get it Slater Wade Nick Ahmed and Yas Nick Ahmed will see like time will tell I I would rather see the young guy but whatever put him to the side Slater Wade y I’m so sick of
Watching Slater Wade and Yas on this team let me let me just Slater has 38 home runs spread out over eight years 38 home runs spread out over eight years y had a career year in 2021 he had 25 home runs okay he went 17 and 15 he plays every
Day let me just read you the first five guys for the Dodgers they’re home run totals over their careers bets 18 31 24 32 29 16 in the co year 23 35 39 that’s your leadoff hitter Otani 22 18 7 in the co year 46 34 44 oh Freddy Freeman 18 31
24 32 29 23 35 39 that’s their first three hitters I can go right down the list even Will Smith who’s not one of their power hitters per se his his numbers across the board W dwarf those other guys why are we so Reliant and why
Do we continue to miscast Lamont Way Jr Mike isky and Austin Slater as key cogs to the 2024 Giants I don’t know there are five guys on the Dodgers that start their lineup Dodgers James it’s not just the Dodgers it’s it’s the Padres it’s the D back yes
It’s the Texas Rangers it’s the Atlanta brav Phil I mean it’s the Philadelphia Phillies these guys have lineups that are deep and they have a lot of depth to them the Giants if you want to maximize your depth I think you got to go Jung Huli yes you got to get comforto up
There I would agree get estado or Luis Matos if he comes up sums up with ar Solair chap but this lineup when you look at it compared to the Dodgers like good Lord yeah it’s it’s not even close here so you’re gonna need Logan web Blake Snell who’s gonna make his debut
For the Giants next Monday next Monday I see some people here at the infinity mobile text line ask about Blake Snell he’s thinking about next Monday his Giants debut this pitching is going to have to carry this team this year again and you’re G to have to make some moves
For some bats at the deadline 100% you’re GNA have to do that and if Luciano’s not the guy we’re just talking about the the the Dodgers flipping prospects for major luk proven Talent Luciano may have to be that trade piece to go get some major league proven
Talent and get me a legit bat in that lineup a since Slater batting second is it triggered me and then he grounds into a double play I’m just it just triggered me I I also Tom Murphy you kept Tom Murphy who has 223 career the pick it up
On the other side it’s a Warriors game day big Warriors game day presented by xinity at home we on the go you get the fastest internet to all your devices what’s coming up in a game brought to you my freeb bank full service banking no compromis we continue to talk about

Would you succeed we succeed visit goost lumber.com don’t know if Jonathan kig is going to play well I Sam Gordon that from the SF Chronicle at 9:20 uh we do have Mike Basset coming up at 7:30 uh he’s all over to Dallas Mavericks and the Texas Rangers uh we can squeeze
There a baseball question there but Luca Kyrie in town today to take on the Golden State Warriers of course Mike bassic uh 1053 to Fan in Dallas also does a lot of things with the Texas Rangers pre and post game I think he may be calling some games he may be on the
Side of the color analyst but we’re talking about the Giants before the break and Tom Murphy like you brought up the catchers yesterday shasi Kurt cassali chatwick Trump who I completely forgot about Austin WIS Austin WS forgot about him who couldn’t hit I mean how could you forget about them I know I
Couldn’t forget I I haven’t forgotten about them Kurt casselli Austin WS chat with Trump uh who else do Blake sa Blake Sable they spent a whole year with Blake Sable who couldn’t play any defense we couldn’t and now we got Tom Murphy who’s an automatic out well I mean he’s
Got 200 hits in nine years you can give Joey Bart a crack on well that’s what I’m saying you could just give him a sniff a month who is knocking down your door that has to have Tom Murphy on their roster nobody nobody I I just so
And and and not only that he bats sixth yesterday it’s he’s batting in front of Michael capto who’s one of if you just watch the at bats he’s been one of the best players in terms of taking pitches barring up balls he’s been one of your
Best hitters this year I I don’t get these lineups now how much money is Tom I’m not trying to pocket watch here Tom Murphy’s making what maybe a million dollars is he on a minimum contract L man what what’s Tom Murphy making let’s focus up here L for what’s up baby uh
Lford how much is Tom Murphy making this year how much is he making wow he got an 8.25 two-year contract so he’s making 4 million per wow basically Milli back catcher for a backup catcher Michael korto’s what making 18 million yeah you’re going to put your 4 million
Backup catcher you got to have your do this $4 million backup catcher bat ahead of Michael conforto who’s batting who’s making $18 million and is one of your better hitters he’s never had more than 71 hits I it just doesn’t make sense to me and that was in 2019 it just what am
I missing here Giants fans 888 957 9570 I know we’re only five games in and I’m not I’m not freaking out about this no but these are like but but Tom Murphy’s making $4 billion per year as a backup catcher and he’s batting sixth ahead of Michael korto who’s making1 18 million
Dollar he already has three home runs hitting the ball well hit the ball well last year before he started deal with injuries what and then you got all Slater batting second well I’m glad you’re bringing this up because so like we all agree Jung Huli right now has
Been one of the more impressive Giants he’s a big league ball player like he’s good so lar and Chapman these are legitimate like both guys have over 150 career homes runs these are legitimate players so I I love that but Austin Slater in the two-hole and then you go
To Lamont Way as as a pincher combined they have less home runs than Will Smith the last two years and Will Smith bats I don’t know for this team he bats cleanup but he’s really not a traditional cleanup James outman last year was batting sixth he
Had 25 Jacks the kid from Sarah yeah you we’re batting Tom Murphy 200 hits in his career you know he’s batting six for the Atlanta Braves Michael Harris II who’s batting 438 right now is one of their better prospects you know who’s batting second for the Braves aie alz who’s
Batting 412 and went two for four yesterday and is an absolute stud well I I I look at it here and I’m like thank God they got Solair thank God they got Chapman Jung Huli you know we’ll find out whether they overpaid or not but he
He’s a ball player like I really like him but your top dogs need to be at the top of the order and right now I just see too many a bats from random guys like they believe in Lamont Wade way more than any of us do the Dodgers don’t
Fear Lamont Way Jr no at all do we need to go through the numbers of 2021 in the nlds when Yas Ruff Wade Flores and there was somebody else who B it like oh Alex Dickerson who combed like a Kai five for 76 in that series do we need to go down
That route and I look at Austin Slater he’s been here 8 years and this is all I’m going to say is like when you’ve been mediocre for eight years and you’re a fringe guy and you’re not even like a real everyday player what are we doing
He has been a giant longer than Will Clark how how that is unbelievable you want to hear a fun fact you want to hear a fun fact Shas will drive you crazy next year will be his ninth year on the Giants which means he will be officially
Eligible to join the wall of fame someday no I’m not like I’m not trying to hate on I’m really I’m on Austin Slater is probably a really nice guy how we’re talking baseball here folks not personal shots where where he’s probably is Am I Wrong probably is a great dude
In theity he will be a giant longer than Kevin Mitchell that’s that’s insane that’s insane he’s going to be a giant longer than Jeff K it’s a shame it’s and I’m not trying to hate on the guy like and even Yas we’ve seen this experiment Yas is a fourth outfielder okay I I
Don’t so to me Slater Wade Yas one can stick around bring up Matos let’s see him play now maybe this is a thing 209 ex D bubble text line from the 209 I believe Bob is still learning the ins and outs of the team I’m not surprised what’s going on let’s hope
They figure it out soon well I there may be something to hit at 209 but I will say this you spent six weeks in Arizona spring training I mean I mean I you kind of see these guys hitting I don’t know 209 you may be out
On you may be on to something there maybe Bob is still trying to figure out what he can do with this lineup but you did have five weeks of spring training I mean when the lineup card was released yesterday we had a group thread going and and I saw it was Jung Huli
Slater Solair Chapman Flores Murphy conforto Estrada Ahmed that was the order from 1 to nine what did all of us in the group thread say that’s a Farhan lineup yeah oh oh that has 4on written all over it but but maybe it’s Bob let’s Fon is this something because you follow
Bob Melvin obviously you’re the a fan and I feel really bad for you they just sent down Ruiz yesterday Ruiz bat number 400er politics don’t get me start on David forest and just say Ruiz now say yeah he needs to hit the ball more like
On a pig yeah I mean it’s it’s it’s criminal going there really am but Bob Melvin is this a move that Bob Melvin makes is this his doing who what what what do you believe the power structure is what was the power structure in Oakland because well and you guys have
Been growing up in the Bay Area it’s been Billy Bean and everyone else like he’s the Moneyball guy so like he like everyone says oh he prints out something he just hands him this but with Bob Melvin he did have some say and have some leeway when it came to riding guys
Come playoff time stuff like that you’d see Liam Hendricks who was then the closer he’d ride him for a couple Innings maybe when the analytics would say hey let’s shift do this let’s do that so he did have free range to do it now with Farhan zi I’m not sure the
Relationship there it’s very raw and fresh obviously Farhan was with Bob in the early days now I’m not sure but he did have some free range to say you know what Billy I think we should go in this direction now it’s interesting remember in that playoff one game in New York
City that was Billy Bean call to do the opener Liam HRI and they did that was that Liam Hendrick that was Liam Hendrick and it was bad and they should have gone Mike fires or whoever at the time it just didn’t work out so I’m very
Interested to see to your point Bon how things progressed with him and Farhan cuz it’s very early we’re not sure of their relationship and look don’t don’t don’t get it twisted we’re not well we’re just questioning the lineup we’re not complaining about it and I get it
You’re playing the Dodgers this is their lineup this is who you have to contend at least the next couple years mie Betts show he Otani Freddy Freeman Will Smith who just signed a $100 million deal Max Muny who like Max mun’s an afterthought let me give you his home runs 35 35 12
In the co season 36 21 in a lost year and 36 last year Dam and then James outman who came kind of out of nowhere last year and hit the scene that’s the top six players well then you didn’t even bring up Tasco Hernandez having Lux Tasco Hernandez already has four home
Runs and N9 RBI yeah Tasco Hernandez you want to read his home run totals 2018 22 home runs 2019 286 home runs 2020 down year 50 games 16 home runs oh 2021 let me just go ahead and jack up 32 home runs with 116 RB and 36 walks oh 2022 25
Home runs Seattle 2023 pitcher friendly ballpark I’m just going to go 26 home runs 93 RBI eight cing bases Tasco uh Hernandez is an afteron who signed a one-year deal with the Dodgers he’s batting six for them and he already has four jacks but like to to me there’s this sense like well
Farhan’s great at work in the back of the roster and I’ve had a big issue there’s been too many redundant Parts over the last four five years and and again it’s early on we’ll give it a month or whatever but like right off the rip you DFA Joey Bart he could have been
Your emergency first baseman he’s played first base at the big league level before Wilmer Flores gave it a go you know in pregame they were going to Tyler Fitzgerald at first who had never played first base in his entire career in the minor leagues now maybe he could pull it
Off I don’t know but like to me it’s like what how did you go from 700 first basemen last year to not one yeah I I just it’s it’s it’s OD to me I look at again but again I I want I want to fix our toe a little bit here
Because we do see I just look at the Dodgers and they feel they feel very well well we but we do that it shouldn’t be surprising we do we do that well it was on a day where you’re starting a guy after starting dton Jeff then you
Start didn’t pitch bad he he gave up three runs in five innings that’s your five starter if that he’s a spot starter it’s the first week of the Season yeah but I mean Blake sell’s going to come back on Monday let try freak out so you’re gonna have they’re gonna have
Logan web Kyle Harrison Jordan Hicks Blake Snell and you could start if Kei ke Wier fifth starter I’m not mad at that for right now I’m not mad at that and as a fifth starter he walked one guy he allowed four hits gave up three runs
In five innings struck out six he gave up three runs he kept the Giants in the game he kept the Giants in the game it was a 3-1 game not really the bullpen if we want to Pedic about something maybe it’s the bullpen right now cuz Rogers
Gave up a run yesterday Miller got tagged right a been out there the last couple days I think he’s a little tired maybe a little tired ni a came in there and he got tagged as well I’m not going to panic it we’re only five games in but
I am questioning the order of the lineup I just I want to see a consistent let’s go let’s stop there’s no need to manufacture and tinker and experiment right now you have five weeks of spring trading to do that let’s go it’s go time so to your point
About spring training it’s a it’s a point well taken spring training is not everything Casey Schmid batted like 400 last year in spring training and then hit the ground running early on and then just the bottom fell out it’s not so much about performance with spring training it’s more so about getting to
Know your guys no I agree with that you know what I’m saying they even bring Casey Smith up on a spring trading I know but to your point Matos was one of the best players in spring training Slater didn’t play at all yeah at all he
Had the elbow injury he didn’t he didn’t play at all and then you’re easing this guy back let’s put him in the two-hole what come on you know I I I want I going to reward one of my young prospects when you’re a team that hasn’t had a lot of
Prospects and I just look at I I see where these things go like Slater’s going to get a ton of leeway here and I don’t think he’s earned it I I I I think I want to see one of the young guys you brought in Solair you’re brought in
Chapman you have K forto you got a lot of veterans we don’t need an 8 journeyman as one of the platoon guys bring in one of the youngsters flip-flop this lineup around and get conforto higher up there to your point he is making 19 million that’s a great point I
Mean get him up in the Y but also what are we going to do Marco Luciano how long until we wait on him because I Tyler fish J is he’s not your long-term plans and the Giants are I don’t think their goal is to win the
World Series I don’t know maybe that is their goal get the playf but it’s to get I would say to get in the playoff but I also want to see if you’re not going to do anything with this young guy then let me get a first baseman well let me go
Get some major league Talent like I watched Mike Trout hit a 40 473 foot home run yesterday oh my god did you see where that landed n his contract is who’s it’s going to be tough to trade that contract a team taking on that contract but I need some dudes in the
Lineup if if you’re serious and we’re serious and we heard Flyn and we kind of agree with him like yeah let’s go take on the Dodgers would it go take on the Rogers you got to get rid of the butter knifes you need you know what I’m saying
You got to get rid of the butter KN you got you’re so right you need some machetes out there you know what I’m saying I mean be and since since he’s taking over now I can make an argument that each one of these was unrealistic for a variety of reasons but JT realmuto
Since Farhan took over he was traded gold Schmid was traded Francisco Lindor was traded Matt Olsson was traded Soto was traded twice Trey Turner was traded Nolan ronado was traded the point that I’m getting at is I think we’ve overemphasize free agency now they’ve done a nice job in free agency this year
Go make a trade Pete Alonzo could be out there that’s what I’m saying Pete Alonzo could be available to your point about first base he is a perfect kind of a guy to have at first base Paul go Schmid’s another guy he will be available come to
Deadline I would love to add Paul gmid to this lineup wouldn’t you I mean a legitimate Thumper that you could put at the three four or five spot now Solair and Chapman they’ve got some protection this is why I’m not going to freak out if the Giants can stay in this race and
You get to the deadline I didn’t know on the back end that Robbie Ray may give me something to last six to eight weeks of the season and I’ve got snail and I’ve got Hicks and I got Logan web and I got Kyle Harrison and I do believe they’ll
Hold up well now the bullpen they need to fix this they need to turn this around and the heartbeat here I I I think this Bullpen has capabilities of being special but so far they’re off to a rocky start they they haven’t been able to get the ball to devolve it’s
Very simple to me yeah now you got to get the to him so take time for you to do the legal oh okay all right fil you’re listening to 957 FM ac1 San Francisco and don’t forget you can also watch us every single day on our YouTube twitch streams

Pages as we have added the QR code on both pages and shout out to the xinity mobile tax l so when it comes to the Giants we’re going to get into the Warriors here 720 cuz it is a huge game today there’s no doubt about it and I do
Think Warrior fanss are kind of in waitand Sea mode they are wait and sea mode 4-1 road trip cool but we also know and we’re not dummies dub Na’s they’re very this is a very intelligent fan base you know who Miami Tred out there you know who Charlotte charted out there
You know who the San Antonio Spurs charted out there so we are happy that they they go 4-1 on the road trip we are happy that they are 22 and 15 on the road away from home which gives me confidence if they do get to the playoffs that they can win away from
Home they got to figure out the home thing here that’s been strange to me it’s the worst home record under Steve K I’m going to throw away 2019 2020 because we know what that season was all about but I feel like Warrior fans need to see them beat a team like the
Mavericks in order to be like okay let’s go let’s go because we’re still in 10th place but we’ll get to that conversation the second here well when it comes to the Giants when you get to the de line and you are in this race I do believe
This is the year you’re going to have to try to trade for a bat and I do believe there G there’s going to be some guys who are available there are like pet Alonzo’s a great call at the New York Mets I don’t think the New York Mets are
Going to do anything he’s fighting with them and he’s fighting with them to try to get a longterm deal well I would love petoga to play first base at Oracle Park and pencil in for 40 home runs a 220 batting average and I don’t care you’re
Going to bat fifth you’re going to hit bombs to the bottle or Paul coith let’s why I like to call Paul go Smith and I’m going to be honest with you and others may not I would take on Trout’s contract knowing it’s a huge risk oh this I would
It’s $212 million left on that contract Mike Trout if you just D him I would I I I may do that but how about this pet Alonzo he’s on a oneye $20 million deal and Paul goid is a free agent after the season yeah these are perfect rental
Type players you need a first base I agree let’s stop platooning first base please I know like stop then you can have Wilmer as one of your backup guys as opposed to like let’s be honest like Wilmer was your best player last year that’s a sad indictment of where your
Roster is Wilmer on the Dodgers is playing once a week MH on the Giants you need him to play almost every day and I think his body won’t allow it look 510 I get it I get it 510 xinity Buble text line also Slater 2 he’s batting 285
Lifetime against left headed pitch but no but look at the last two years but the last two years those numbers have dipped they they have dipped and not only that get him down to the six hole should not be your two hitter also uh put on top that Matos hit lefties better
Than Slater last year I think M like if you’re going to go hitter against lefties last year Slater was in like the 260s 270s so like even that logic it it’s still Mo yeah I’m I’m yeah you go monos meanwhile Sam for you yeah no doubt 925 excluding mobile text line
Meanwhile the A’s have 12 errors or five games I mean well so what happened yesterday with the a cuz I I this got beat like a nothing Estuary Ruiz got he got s down to Las Vegas despite did he already have three solar bases two two
Solar bases he had 65 or something last year no he was ridiculous if he didn’t get hurt he’d have like 100 steals last year he was he was unbelievable um yeah they they opted him down to Triple A uh they called up a guy that they got in a
Trade with Baltimore Tyler Nevin some nobody 200 hitter but the real problem is their two best players from last year Brent Rooker who 30 bombs and he was actually very good for them was an Allstar he’s gotten benched and then your most exciting player without a shadow doubt one of the most exciting
Players in the league cuz the steel now is obviously a fun play it’s huge now it’s it’s it’s just awesome and he’s sticking your middle finger to the fans and you send them down and it doesn’t make sense to me Bonte like if you’re going to do the major league thing and
That and we all know that’s what’s going on here like Ruiz is it going to be the difference between UH 60 wins and 40 wins like that’s the thing that doesn’t make sense to me and their excuse David Forest Mark Kat their excuse was well we just have a crowded Outfield and he
Needs consistent out bats and he’s only going to get that in Triple A can I ask you something who is taking this guy’s spot Butler JJ blade Tyler Nevin who are these people they’re create players they’re create players like come on guys you up spot what’s this thing going on
On the internet um with the Dive Bar wrist beds Theory so the last dive bar is like a thing where they they they lean in on the Coliseum being like this dump but it’s our dump kind of thing and they’re really cool they have a lot of
Merch and stuff like the last Dive Bar yeah so they do a lot of good stuff I think they were sponsored with FanFest when they did the fans only Fan Fest players are wearing the bracelets yes and BR rooker’s been very outspoken about all this thing I think you saw in
The offseason when they had the um the graphs for the uh the the new stadium in Vegas they had Brent Rooker and there batting like 230 or something he’s batting the 7 spot and he poked fun at himself he’s a funny guy but he understands the situation that he’s in
Right now and he’s been out smoking now do I think that that’s gotten to John fiser and Dave caval and they’ve sent code red on it I don’t think so I believe Cav’s Petty like that I kind of do too I have a source within the a
System going the sources that said the Ruiz thing has been in the works before the season which actually makes me even more infuriated like what are we doing then so they’re prematurely like tamping him down yes which makes no sense to me again why I I don’t I they’re just not
Only are they a clown show off the field we get that with caval and Fischer but now on the field and I feel bad for Mark Kat CU clearly he just has to be the mouthpiece signed up for this no no no I understand and it’s a major league spot
And all that sort of stuff but he’s got no shot they had five errors yesterday they now have more errors on the season than runs scored didn’t they have they have 15 errors in like they have five errors in the first three Innings yesterday yes it was embarrassing I mean
Poor marass and I’m sitting here complaining about you know Slater I’m sorry Joe it’s a joke it’s it’s it’s I feel pretty foolish it’s a it’s a joke though I’m listening to Dallas bradden on the on the broadcast trying his best not to just rip into this team left and
Right it’s like the fifth game of the year I talked I had a long conversation with Dallas Bron at the positive coaches Alliance just before everything he was honoring his the beard real the beard is real he didn’t wear a hat I was like dude I would even recognize you without
The hat but he was honoring his high school coach from Stockton how this guy saved his life know his mom passed away he wasn’t going to school you know the story mother the perfect perfect game on Mother’s day but he his coach he was honored his coach breaking down and was
Just talking about I told Dallas I do think Dallas is one of the better ambassadors of the sport of baseball all about it no doubt about it I told him I said what you have to navigate on a daily basis is all the more impressive
Like I really have a lot of respect for you Dallas and getting to know him and tell you he’s like dude I’m just trying to do my job I’m just trying like I’m TR to bring like I get what’s going on and it’s tough to tap dance around it think
About the jobs I had to do in that jeny cavar is on her first job as play bypl voice of the A and she’s got to navigate this how do you sugarcoat what’s happening out there on a diamond I I don’t know he is really good the one
Thing I would say about Dallas Braden as a joke um and I mean this with the most endearing way the man looks like William Shakespeare I’m dead serious if you when I see like old pictures of William Shakespeare he looks dead on like them and when he does the little uh hot tub
Videos and he comes flying out they’re some of the funny he’s all in on the Pirates this year whenever they win he puts on the pirate hat I I love that does Guru still uh tweet out the flag no he oh he mess mes it shiny hates it

Very longwinded question I’m kidding we all have those moments you know we all get on Guru I have moments and you know the funny thing is you know when is getting long yes you did know what then I look at you and you start to go my
Favorite was from a couple years ago she asked me we were doing the butcher shop with kov and Lucas and I think it was Tom habro or something we had on and Lucas put the wrong information and you listed off all the stuff that he’s been doing and it was completely wrong and
Then he immediately interrupts you to correct what he’s been doing we just had a drop of shasi just saying I’m so sorry it was just that and we just that it was basically just so embarrass I know what to do another guy never played in his life
I remember when shook not to call out Guru but he kind of called us out yesterday I love you goo speaking of PR how he call us out they go oh they were stilling material in the morning I was like I don’t know I know he I think he
Was dis well here I will s a little material here and as you talk about the Warriors hold on hold his story real quick real quick real quick about didn’t know but but no we’re talking about longwinded questions just now and I remember the question he asked
Jim Barnett about the Steph Curry Miss three in game six and G was arguing stiny I was like he should have made that I was like dude that was they almost threw the inbound pass out of bounds that’s how but but but cgar J Barnett about the shot he broke down the
Plane it was like a minute and 20 seconds long and JB goes yeah and okay I forgot how he resp just so L about it don’t talk about that no wasn’t that answer by the way City mble text real quick so ask you 510 guys I’m
Trying to get the breakfast trying to go to the breakfast burrito place you were talking about uh it’s called Jack’s breakfast burrito or Jack’s Cafe no no no no no it’s called Jack’s restaurant bar grill they have a few locations where are you at are you in the city are
You in s brudo You’ said Matel cuz there bread fruit burritos are hitting so which one it’s Jack’s bar grill locations in Pleasant Hill San Bruno Sano San Jose and Newark and I believe they’re on uh food catering apps I’ll find out what the apps are that you can
Get it delivered as well no doubt so uh 510 Jack bar grill there all right uh speaking of the Warriors playing the Mavericks in I get it a lot of people were sty asked a question yesterday about you know how’s anybody feel about the 4- in1 road trip are Warrior fans
Why aren’t they feeling better about the 4-on-1 road trip and it’s I think it’s a simple answer one Warrior fans are educated and we we kind of touched on it in our show yesterday it’s like had they won the Minnesota game I think people would have felt better because people
Understand who M we’ve seen a lot of the t- Wolves over the last four years we had the baseball double header with them and Chase H during the pandemic season we got a first Glimpse in NZ Reed we saw him the second year we’re like oh this team’s getting better and better and
Better and of course what happened with the theatrics earlier this season uh at Chaser between the Warriors and uh t-wolves and I think if they would have won that game and had gone 4-1 and won that game people would have felt a lot better on that road trip but when you
Beat a short-headed Miami team and struggle to beat him now you did Outlast him in the fourth quarter there you able to separate yourself did you play the Charlotte Hornets and the San Antonio Spurs and I don’t think a lot of people understand the Orlando Magic or know
About the Orlando Magic people feel lukewarm about that and plus when you think about where this team has been over the last decade you know I don’t know I I understand why a lot more people weren’t hyped up off that 4- on1 road trip shasi yeah I I was listening
To steiny to your point and he was like shocked fans weren’t excited and I I would say to him to your point about educated fans I do believe that the Bay Area the more and more I do this job I realize there are a lot of really smart
Smart fans out there a lot of casual fans that are really smart and acute uh to what’s going on and I do believe the Warriors are victims of their own success and I I remember hearing Dan lebatard explain this about Miami when you go for LeBron James Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosch it’s
Really difficult to get fired up for Duncan Robinson because you kind have been spoiled a victim of their own success now I do believe especially like the Miami situation when you’re down for a few years and then you come back naturally everyone gets more reinvigorated and excited right I think
With the Warriors they gave us a decade of the greatest basketball most of us will ever see in our lifetime the highest of highs yep and to win the championship in 2022 felt like it came out of left field M especially on the heels of how kind of irrelevant they
Were the two years in between and I think that right now Warrior fans are smart enough to understand you’re not battling for the eight seed you’re not even battling for the six seed or or anything like that you’re the 10 seed trying to fight off the 11 seed Rockets
So I think there’s the realization that this team is really far away and they to shake it up in the off season and I also believe and I think this is the deeper point I think some indifference or apathy has set in with the fan base acceptance might be the other word right
Where we feel like a shakeup is needed and I think a lot of people are kind of not exhausted that’s a little too strong but I think we’re sitting here and it’s like all right we’ve been doing the same thing for a couple years it’s getting worse it’s not getting better I’m a
Little annoyed with some of the guys on the team and theatrics and things like that they don’t look like they’re a champion I’ll tap in toward the end of the year you know I I’ll I’ll be tuned in for the playing game and I really
Want them to win and I hope that they win and I hope they get into the first round and then anything can happen but kind of wake me up until you get there yeah and and with the way the season has played out they had the 14 to four
Stretch uh in the month of February look they’ve they’ve won if I’m not mistaken 13 to the last 16 or 14 last 17 on the road uh and they’ve been really good on the road they haven’t been good at home and we’re used to that home cour
Advantage and the crowd going crazy and we’re desperate for one of those games and every time they take a step forward it feels like they take a step back and also the team just hasn’t clicked this one yet you know they haven’t clicked they haven’t been in sync as a entire
Roster like you may get two guys playing well may get two guys struggling you may get three guys playing well may get a guy struggling there’s been a lot of inconsistencies there but to your point about the last day of Excellence I’m very eager I’m very eager this upcoming
Football Seas season to see Niner fans react because the one thing left is to win the Super Bowl what happens if the Niners go four to three again what happens if they get the number one scene I think a lot of people yeah will be jacked up about the regular season but I
Guarantee you every single week they win a football game there’s going to be a segment of 49er fans saying yeah okay that’s cool but we’ve seen this movie before we’ve seen this story before we need the whole thing and when we see Steph Curry and Draymond Green
Conversely to the goto St Warriors yeah a couple years AG They just won a championship yes last year they go to the second round of the playoffs and think about where we’re at right now we’re like wake me up when we get to the playoffs but but Bonte I I I think like
If they were the five or six seed and and you know and I think there would be a little more hope I think the understanding and this is where I think the the sports fan is more sophisticated you’re in the playing game right I think that that reality does matter the other
Part that that you brought you bring up the ners I think it’s a good point let’s say the ners were let’s go 9 and8 okay 9 and eight and they get into the playoffs I think it would be more similar to what the Warriors are going through now it’s like wait a minute
You’ve been one of the top dogs forever like you just barely backing into the playoffs I think I think that would be different now you would have the layers of it’s football we gamble Brock’s contract there are conversations there this to me feels a little more giany and
I’m it’s not a like for like but I think in 2021 when the Giants had a historic year there was a big part of the Giants fans that were like I don’t believe you they didn’t wake up I September people didn’t really believe and the crowd told
You that because of lack of attendance uh coming back now we waited till the very end it kind of tap in and then there was this like acceptance like well they’re the Dodgers we’re the Giants like and and how many times I’ve heard the Giants broadcasters and I’m not
Knocking them they and I heard John Miller say like this is a you know Farhan was the uh architect of 107 win team and I’m always like that wasn’t a real 107 win team and I I don’t even know why I say that like I I look at
That year with great indifference and spe skepticism even though I I acknowledge it was a a special season so I look at the Warriors and I feel like they’re closer to the giant Zone where we’ve we’ve you you gave me championships and I feel spoed and I feel privileged saying you know what
Though you know what though this is a little different to it’s a little different than the giant one because 2021 you had Buster posy Brenda Bel Brandon Crawford but you didn’t have that same pitching staff that you had during those Championship seas that was that was damn near decade later you know
What I’m saying yeah you still have Steph Curry and I heard a caller yesterday onst named Marvin Marvin called it to their show and he was the most optimistic Warrior fan I’ve heard from in a month where he goes guys I still believe this team can make a Deep
Run we still have Steph we still have Clay we still have Draymond Mar this is Marvin Guru let him go off for about three minutes and he was a I now I didn’t tap into their entire show so maybe they got more calls like this but
This one stuck out to me cuz I literally got my car and it was Marvin and he was just saying like look man if they get in with the way they’re winning on the road who’s just say they can’t go on a road if they could just click cuz we just
Haven’t seen now maybe they don’t click but if they could just click you do still have stuff you still have these guys and you look at the top two teams or two of the top three teams in OKC and Minnesota a lot of people outside of those regions still got
They’re still saying we got to see them do it in the playoffs would you would like that’s a different conversation so like to me like could they do something in the playoffs is different from we live and die on every game at one point Warrior fans were living and dying we
Did this with the Giants Well they were they the Warrior fans really haven’t lived and died on every single regular season game really since about 2017 but we didn’t do that in 2022 that 18 start I felt like we were a little bit but then the injuries came and then people
Were like kind of doubt we were but I will say we were more tapped into that regular season because they had lost a play game I was say that was the most tapped in regular season for Warrior fans since 2017 cuz 2018 where is this like Wake Me Up When the finals come
Around I don’t and I I get the sense from football like this year the ners the last three or four weeks it did feel a little like uh well they beat the they beat the Washington football team and I was like wait a minute Brock just broke
All these records and I did feel like it’s all about winning a Super Bowl no it felt like after the Philadelphia game the the air out of the blue popped a little was like all right you beat Philadelphia you beat Seattle let let’s get to the playoffs do you get what I’m
Saying like cuz like even Baltimore Christmas day I was hyped up for that game but people were like well it doesn’t really mean much because you got cush and everything like that so we just kind of SC we kind of thrw an in effect that Brock py looked awful in that
Football game and plus it was during the holiday so you’re like you know what it’s a oneoff whatever we’ll see him in the Super Bowl I I do just think that like the barrier fan gets labeled as you know soft or wishy-washy or bandwagon and I think it’s no we’re very endgame
Oriented like are you in the mix in the end game that’s what we care about I I I just I I know like we have too many things going on and it’s just a reality I I think that’s I think that’s a cop out I think that’s a cop out it kind of
Sounds like front runner it kinds it sounds like front running you know when you describe that no but I the way I view it is is like I do think that there there’s a level of acknowledgement of exhaustion this particular version of The Warriors I think the Bay Area fan base is
Very hard hard cor like no doubt the fans I’ve met over the last decade and growing up here in my life I don’t think this fan base is soft at all I think this fan base is very educated and they understand what’s going on but when it
Comes to regular season and getting like now we got eight games left now it’s time to go no I’m with you takeing on the Dallas mavers today and you haven’t beat them all season we are eager to see if this team is legit or not so can we
Acknowledge it’s been pretty messy the last couple of years in terms of like really wrapping both arms around the team there’s always been something yeah yeah well it just being real no no it has and that that has sucked the life out of some Warrior that’s that’s that’s
You know we know about what happened last season the Trad camp and we know what’s happened this season um so there’s been a lot you know the Andrew Wick thing it’s been mysterious right a lot of like it’s none of our business what’s going on with Andrew wickins
Personally like I try not to get into these players lives personally at all I the only I only follow a few athletes I follow like Steph Juju Watkins I Javon KW like don’t ask me how we we met a Chase iner he was like yo follow me on Instagram I’ll follow you right
Back I was like sure why not uh I’m happy for Javon K go to New York City but I try not to stay in their personal lives but there is a segment of fans who want to know what’s going on with Andrew wickens it’s and want to know if that’s
Affected his game or not it just is what it is so hopefully we get some urgency today at Chase in as they take on the Dallas Mavericks in a makeup game of course they’re going to take them off Friday as well uh two times in the same
Week we know Mike bassic he loves his Dallas Mavericks he also loves his Texas Rangers we’re talk about a cuz that lineup looks sexy as hell man they’re the defending Champions and I don’t think they’re going anywhere Mike bassic 105 Through The Fan in Dallas of course
Former major league pitcher we know who he is uh he’s been on the roast many many times and we welcome him back on the morning roast Mike good morning man now I know you’re on Rangers pre and post game if I’m not mistaken are you
Also on are you also doing some color uh for the Texas Ranger broadcast as well this season man I got lucky enough that yeah they hired me for a third of the game so I got to do the Chicago Cub series and headed to with the Rangers to
Detroit and Atlanta in a few weeks so it’s it’s really exciting it’s it’s a dream come true that was my dream job after baseball was over but I’m like to be honest I was like I probably wasn’t good enough baseballwise to oh we just love came back in put the
Lights on not nothing Mike let’s get Mike basik out he we just dropped him we just dropped him all right we get mik bass on so he is doing some color I told you he’s he’s uh he’s doing some color now for the Texas Rangers good for
Mike man he’s uh he’s he’s really good at his job man preia post on the radio as well and he’s tapped in here so we’ll get to the Dallas Mavericks as soon as you get out like the Ballas Mavericks I know a lot of people probably haven’t watched the Dallas Mavericks this team’s
Legit I mean this team is good KY and Kyrie and Luca is working and I think they’ve built a really fun team around them and uh they they’ve got a lot of pieces that to me compliment each other and I think that that like as we talk
About the Warriors and I I do think a lot of fans are trying to fast forward like get to the end of the of the Season let’s see what happens in the playoffs and then a lot of fans in their minds are fast forwarding to the offseason you
Know I but I can’t blame like with this team in particular I can’t blame them for not being psyched up about the 401 all right we got Mike pic back all right Mike we dropped you off a little bit no I’m happy for you man I saw the news on
On X uh over the weekend I was talking to my producer I was like I think Mike is calling games for the Rangers and what a team to call games for man to be a color analyst with that team that lineup you get to be around Bruce POI
You are a lucky guy but real quick before we get back into baseball the Dallas Mavericks are in town and I know you’re a big hoop fan and we were curious as to see whether or not Kyrie and LCA could work together well I’m looking at the Dallas Mavericks right
Now in fifth place in the Western Conference I said it on our pregame show here at NBC Sports Bay Area in the Bay Area the Mavericks are going to beat the Clippers if they beat them in the first round series I truly believe that because of the moves they made at the
Deli but let’s start with Luc and Kyrie are you surprised it’s worked so well between the two since they’ve T it for Kyrie for Brooklyn last season yeah I guess surprised is a strong word but I will go with that it is right now I would say this is very
Rare in all sports obviously you guys saw it with the Golden State Warriors at a time uh 2021 recently the Mavericks are playing at their full potential which is so rare in sports that a team can reach their full potential and I don’t know if they can keep it up I hope
They do but right now the Mavericks I know this is going to sound crazy but I really do think they’re title contenders can they keep playing this way they have two great athletic bigs to go with the best offensive player in the NBA in Luca and Kyrie is playing at such a high
Level and staying healthy so if they’re they’re both playing off of each other well uh it seems like Luca gets his 25 by halftime and then Kyrie in the fourth quarter kind of takes over the game and it’s working out well that’s really interesting how they’ve kind of got that
Dynamic I I feel like they’ve really catered the roster to fit around those two guys how many how many moves have they made around them just for the the average Warrior fan looking at Dallas cuz it feels like a very different roster this year versus the last couple
Of years well the last few games last year when they tanked to make sure they kept their pick because it goes to the Knicks uh in the porzingis trade they got Derek Lively JR out of Duke and he didn’t he wasn’t very good at Duke to be
Honest but he has been great a seven foot athletic young guy then they get Gafford another seven-footer from Washington so now for 48 minutes they’re playing with athletic long rangy centers and you guys saw the if the Warriors fans aren’t following Dallas I get it but in the playoffs you saw the
Mavericks let cavon Looney turn into Bill Russell in the playoffs and so now that that can’t happen anymore then PJ Washington who’s inconsistent offensively but a great physical Defender and rebounder so now all of a sudden the two major weaknesses of the Mavericks through Luca’s time has been
Defense and rebounding and now they’re above average in both of those I’m not saying they’re great or the best but they are above average and offensively they’re one of the best teams in the NBA so it has been awesome to watch them they’re on a tough stretch right now the
The schedule and and God bless you guys I I know that the reason the Mavericks are going to to s to San Francisco tonight was because of the horrible tra tragedy you guys had but it’s been a really tough schedule for for the map so I don’t know how much energy they’re
Going to have it was in Utah at Sacramento for two back to Houston for one and now back to S uh San Francisco so that’s a really tough schedule so sometimes you’ll see a team I’ll give the Mavericks an excuse tonight if they don’t play well on because of the travel
Talking to Mike bassic 1053 Fan in Dallas of course former major league baseball player pitcher as well we know he’s made history there but we don’t need to go there he’s a good guy good friend of the program um Rangers pre and post going to do some games as a color
Analyst for the Texas Rangers but big time Dallas Mavericks fan and you bring up Gafford Lively and of course PJ Washington coming over from Charlotte I know Gafford had that crazy stretch where’d he go 35 for 35 at one point or warriors were in the middle of that the
Warriors were in the middle of that so you get these log athletic bigs but Luca doic I mean the guy I dropped 42 the other night hit 93 47 whatever it was I mean every night it seems like he’s flirting with the triple double how has
His game grown under Jason kid Mike so he’s pushing the ball a little bit but what he’s doing now and you might notice it tonight he’s turned into because his passing is so unbelievable he’s turned into Kevin Love he’ll throw now off a rebound he immediately looks up for a 70
Foot Outlet pass for a catch layup or a catch dunk and so you have to watch out for that now too because the Mavericks will leak out on you and even The Bigs will do it off of a rebound if they have to guard a guy up top let just say
Draymond Green is up top instead of trying to go get the rebound they’ll leak out Luca because he’s such a great rebounder will now rebound look up Outlet like Kevin Love and so that’s one thing he’s added the other thing that I didn’t know he could do is uh he shot a
20 foot um finger roll yeah we saw other night I’ve never seen that I’ve never seen that in basketball and I’ve never seen a dude shoot at 18 foot fadeaway hook over joic to win a game in Kyrie Irving so what’s really fun watching the Mavericks with those two guys you’ll
Usually see something on a nightly basis where you have to question yourself have I ever seen a pass like that have I ever seen a move like that have I ever seen a shot like that and so it is really entertaining to watch and the Mavs when
Luca is out Kyrie takes over and they really push the ball so I think it’s confusing to teams they know it but the Mavs play at two tempos there’s the Luca Tempo and then there’s the Kyrie Tempo and then you’re not sure when Luca in
Are they going to push it or are they going to pull it back it has been very good and Dante exom Jason kid compared him to Sea compared him to Shawn Livingston the other day and I thought that’s a pretty good comparison on what Shawn Livingston brought to the table
For the Warriors that’s a good call exam’s been excellent Off the Bench for the Mavericks man I he that’s a really good call I didn’t even think about that one but I want to know what the Kyrie Temple is because I think people you know you get a little exhausted with
Kyrie Al the floorida especially in Brooklyn but you for get how good like the last time you guys played the Warriors Kyrie put on a show he made a left-handed and one floater from like 15 and then a game winner on the win the same weekend the same week against the
Different nuggets you kind of forget and Warrior fans know about Kyrie iry trust me from 2016 he’s kind of AR Kryptonite there and that’s going to be curious for me what who how do they defend him but what is it like watching Kyrie Irving on a nightly basis you bring up to Kyrie
Temple what’s that like unbelievable I mean obviously you guys have Curry handles they might be a little bit different but they’re similar in like wow how they can handle a basketball and how they can put a defender on on either on their heels or on their butt and so you just watch them
At times take over a game and it’s like Luca doesn’t mind you know everybody has egos you you hear about Kobe and Shaq or or Penny and sha or whatever like guys have egos especially at Young ages but right now I think also the growth of
Luca is he’s he’s at times deferring to Kyrie seeing that Kyrie has it going he’s like hey I’m going to stand in the corner or stand up top they’re not going to leave me they they’ll guard me you know right next to me half court so you
Guys can play four on four basketball right now and Kyrie takes advantage of that opportunity but the way that he does layups or around the basket with his left and right and switching in midair it’s it’s it’s it’s tough because I can’t compare it to anybody else Mike
I I don’t want you to play Kate the Bay Area this is why we have you on because I I think you’re really authentic you also give us a players perspective having played in The Bigs like when you look at the Warriors how are you viewing them and
Don’t give me the oh well they still have Steph Curry so they’re still a champion the Warriors this year this year what’s your what’s the feeling you get from them one I think they’re too small they’re athletic but too small because the centers in the west are just there’s
Just so many of them it’s a different way but so I just think they’re too small and then I just wonder my Wonder is where they’re at standings wise last year and this year and and how much curry has left I just don’t I don’t know
Where the future is for the Warriors if that makes sense it’s almost like they need to rebuild a team around Curry but then you have to ask yourself is curry young enough and have enough left in the tank that we could we could do like a one or twoyear rebuild and in
2026 possibly put a championship team around Curry like that’s where I look at Golden State they’re a threat but I just don’t see them winning a seven game series because they they lack size and and they’re going to get tremendously outrebounded and defensively I don’t know how they guard some of these teams
Like you’ll see tonight uh maybe the Mavericks don’t take advantage of it but when Gafford and Lively dive to the basket it’s not Dwight pal and kleba anymore and so now you have seven-footers that are two feet Above the Rim and I don’t know Draymond Green
Can’t can’t defend that no no the thanks for the the cold dose of uh of reality there before you get on out the door I opened up uh the different websites this morning and I saw Josh Young broke his wrist what happened there I got him in
Fantasy dude this dude Matt maton or maton came in I’m probably saying his name name wrong but he was with Houston last year so we Houston and Texas huge Rivals and he it was it was by accident he back foots Evan Carter with a a breaking ball hit by pitch then it
Looked like he might have broke ad do Garcia’s wrist but luckily he didn’t then next batter he hits Josh Young in the wrist and does break his wrist oh my go it was three hitters in a row and it was unintentional it wasn’t intentional but it just now it’s just unfortunate
Because he he had a homer yesterday he was off to a great start and if you look at Josh Young’s uh pro career minors and Majors he just can’t avoid injury and it’s not his fault like there’s nothing you can do about getting hit with a
Pitch no in the wrist and it breaking it’s not like he’s not stretching or working out and so now they’re going to have to go I’m assuming six to eight weeks without Josh Young the lineup is devastating I know I mean Dodgers Braves and Rangers I think have the three best
Lineups in baseball wa not the Giants the Giants Well a tough part that’s a tough Park to hit in and no the Giants are gonna have to do it other ways but man I’ll tell you what when you get a chance when you get to watch this
Kid Wyatt length we have if you squint you’re like I’m watching Mike Trout if you squint you’re like oh no I’m watching the next Mike Trout oh my gosh mik Mike Mike we were just talking about the most and we’ll let you go in a second here because you know you got a
You’re a busy dude but we were just talk about the most Le the lineups like the Braves the Dodgers the Phillies and the Rangers of course and you guys are the defending World Series champions I mean it’s so deep like Josh Young you guys will miss them but you got Evan Carter
You got white lford you got Jonah Heim you got Cory Seager Marcus civan and you got Bruce Boi managing that club I know Jacob degma know’s going to come at some point so uh come back at some point so I I mean you guys have embarrassing in
Richard in Texas I mean really is that now a baseball Town knowing how much the Cowboys flame out and don’t get to the NC title game is now it’s now Dallas becoming a ranger town I wish I could say yes but I will say the first series The Ranger fans
Were way more into it this has been a very cordial crowd uh and and against the the C you could feel the energy now it was ring ceremony it was the banner it was a whole bunch of things but they take on the Houston Astros Thursday through Monday or Friday through Monday
So that’s going to be huge and two of those games are nationally televised so we saw some Bean balls yesterday I really think we’re going to have at least not saying people will throw punches but I bet in those four games one of those games the benches will clear all right Mike Mike
Congratulations on the new gig man going to call third of the Rangers on TV we’ll have you back on soon Mavericks and warriors are going to play twice this week huge games Dallas right now in the fifth spot in the Western Conference felt like a couple weeks ago they were
In ninth place and now they’re fifth place Warriors need this game as well Mike you’re always kind to us man thanks for the time as always all right Mike bassic here 1053 to Fan in Dallas he’s right the Texas Rangers try to make a trade for this L
For guy yeah you you should yeah I mean I don’t know why you did draft him I tried to draft him I got Evan Carter though so uh it’s all good all good it is interesting you know Dallas they’ve played the Warriors a couple of years ago in the 2022 season and they’ve
Really reshaped that entire roster since then and he he’s you know I asked him about the Warriors cuz I I do think this is irrelevant conversation like look at how he views the Warriors yeah they’re a threat if they can get in and this and
And I think that’s how a lot of Warrior fans are seen like well yes you you know any team with Steph Curry you don’t want to eliminate no one is saying you do that and it’s no dis respect to any of the guys on the team they’ve had some
Great years psky tjd kaminga hopefully he can come back you know Moody’s been pretty good when he’s had an opportunity and I think klay’s had a Rejuvenation to some degree draymond’s been up and down Chris Paul’s been really good Off the Bench yet they’re that far away you know
And it’s it’s it’s it’s a tough thing to grasp right now from a warrior fan when we when to your point we’ve been accustomed to like well what seed are we in the top three right you know who’s the matchup in round one what’s the path
To round two and round three right I it does sound spoiled I I know I sound like a bandwagon listen I can’t believe I’ve evolved into this the one thing is the one thing is well we the one thing about working at NBC that I really enjoy is I
Get to watch the game with players and I like T to Mike bassic because he’s a former player when FP s Angelo comes on I like getting his perspective because he’s a former player and he knows what it’s like to be out there you know talking to mlly and derell Wright and
Fesus and any other player coaches or exact no mly was talking about playing the Celtics right and when you play to Boston Garden in 84 and ‘ 85 and ‘ 86 and ‘ 87 you’re like oh boy this is Boston Garden you played at the Great Western for and there’s magic K there’s
Worthy big game James coming down on Fast Break slamming one hand you’re like wow byrus Scott’s hitting threes and Michael Cooper shutting everybody down it was just different but then you played the Celtics in ‘ 88 in ‘ 89 and M was talking about like he stripped Larry
Bird went down for a layup and he’s at the Garden he’s like let thing you know we’re winning and it’s like wait a minute this is the Boston Garden but you could tell they got older they didn’t had that same Pizzazz they had lost the step that Fear Factor was all of a
Sudden gone it was gone when you went into the Boston Garden you felt like you could win there you felt like you could win at the Great Western form once magic was slowing down and Kareem was retiring and the same thing we touched on this earlier this season when teams
Were coming to chase Center or when they used to walk into Oracle the game was over before started the pregame war is playing DJ D sharp is playing beats the Warriors going through the layup line the teams do let’s just try to keep it with the intend let’s try not to get
Embarrassed tonight they come out hot and the Warriors be you know figing out figuring out next thing you know you’re down 20 and I was like damn game’s over that team bus rolled into Oracle or rolled into Chase Center game was done now you look at this season that
Fear Factor you since this early on teams were coming in here like we’re going out the Warriors we’re no longer afraid them well they’re and and and that Fear Factor to that that’s what I’m saying that they’re older and so now teams that were seeing the Warriors for
So many years and seeing Stephan this pride and Draymond and Clay they’re like wow they’re they’re the avalan at threes and the third quarter runs or whatnot and now they’re like wait a minute they lost in the second round last year they’re smaller they don’t have bigs they’re just getting older and older
They’re getting less athletic just like Steph Curry just DET tick post All-Star break numbers slightly down and you’re like wow wow what’s going on need slightly more from him right now exactly exactly but that Fear Factor is now gone and it happens to but why are we surprised no nobody’s surprised no
Nobody nobody who’s surprised nobody’s surprised that’s not even Point saying think there is a segment of fans that is surprised that you know guys are starting to get older you know and the team’s not as good and and this is where we go back to the whole like two
Timelines conversation I will forever be on the side and and and it was whatever it didn’t work out but I will forever be on the side of like every company in America sports or not every industry is trying to develop young talent to take over for whoever’s at the top of the
Company for right now I still believe it was the appropriate thing to do because you needed an influx of Youth to be able to get there they weren’t the right guys and they weren’t ready in time to take the Baton but the older guys also were ticking down and so to trade every
Single asset to get a bunch of mediocre veterans I don’t think that was the right choice either but just at what Mike bassic said and what I heard from mly and what I heard from other players when you go into certain Arenas like the San Antonio Spurs there’s a point where
You went down to San Antonio you’re getting L what was the The Warrior they lost like 30 years in a row or whatever no doubt but now when you go down to San Antonio you’re like oh it’s just another basketball game but for over for damn
Near 20 years even the Lakers when they recruit with sha and Kobe you’re like damn we got to go to San Antonio oh man Duncan and Robinson and Manu and Tony and then later on Kawai and then at some point it flipped where you’re like know what we’re no longer
Scared of these dudes we can go get a game in San Antonio when Dallas beat San Antonio in the game seven with Dirk nitzki I never saw that coming I was like oh wow look at that Mavericks got over the hump that fear was starting to dissipate and that’s what we’re seeing
With the Warriors and I used to see that a lot with the Saints at the super D remember what they their Heyday you could not beat Drew Brees and Shawn Payton there you just couldn’t if they had home field advantage they were getting wherever they needed to go it
Was impossible to win there y Seattle for so many years Seattle for so many years that fear is like he going up there getting Yan Stadium Yankee Stadium finway yeah you know what I’m saying fway Park you know you get to the ninth in get yank you s you’re like oh boy 27
O so hard here fway park 27 ooun so hard here all of a sudden you’re like oh we can go out here and kick our feet up eat some fried chicken in The Dugout we do whatever we got to do and hit some home
Runs and go out of here with a dub so I I just you know it’s very interesting to see how dynastes when they do get older it just feels different now so we’ll see what happens to MFS continue to roll on the gold State Warriors a big game 888
957 9570 is the number um but first we got to get to the injury report ow 415 xinity mobile text slide they’re still doing too two timelines second timeline is just better than the last one kind of seeing it but now I think with the two timelines there’s no longer
Two timelines you’re now integrated the youngsters with the veterans and I think that’s been the biggest development this season but as we mentioned the Warriors have a massive Showdown tonight with the Dallas Mavericks at Chase Center but we will not know until close to tip off how complete the roster will be Klay
Thompson is still dealing with some right knee tendonitis currently listed as a game time decision Jon Kam I got to look at the updated injury report here but he’s a game time decision as well with t to nus in both of his knees has kept him out of the last three games not
Four three games three games injur report brought to you by boxer and gser Northern California’s Premier workers compensation law firm helping k your workers get their lives back for over 40 years all right what’s coming up in the game brought to you by Fremont Bank full service baking no compromises if the
Warriors win tonight dub Nation if the Warriors win tonight what would that feeling be do you it do you need to win tonight against the Dallas bcks to say you know what maybe there is something left with this core maybe there is something left with this team for this season 888 957
9570 how big of a game is this in your mind dub Nation taking on the Dallas mavers tonight at Chase again there 0 and2 against Dallas this season need a win here just to save off the Houston Rockets for that 10th spot in the playing tournament that’s all coming up

Intimidated some of the callers with this drop why cuz they’re petrified to get dropped well no I think it’s badge of honor when Brian and paloalto is bestowed upon a flowing water plumbing and drain flush anyone can get it no well BPA had a terrible take I’m not
Doing anything crazy if you think this team’s got to go anywhere without that jonath kaminga you’re badly mistaken I’m not scared no he’s always scared is there something to kaminga the last a handful of gains when he was healthy wasn’t playing as well though he struggled against Indiana there’s no
Doubt about that 417 going to the paint I think the paint was there’s a lot of spacing issues with that starting lineup but Kam’s been fine kaminga was fine against Miami just last Tuesday I what are people talking about here with Jonathan kaminga backsliding like to kinga’s bit ass assistant as anybody on
His roster for the most part like that Indiana game was like his first like poor poor performance well the team also played po right right so I’m I’m I’m I’m cool with kigga um look he had 26 against Memphis the CVS Memphis Grizzlies uh because they had an injury
Report that was longer than the CVS receipt uh the Pacers game was rough Minnesota you scor 14 three rebounds they lost by four 18 and S against Miami this last time out when they beat the heat so and I know the heat was short-handed but you know it’s a big
Game today I wonder what this game will do do I sound like a bandwagoner the way I’m describing what do you mean not that Warrior fans aren’t like I think we we we flippantly say like oh hey you’re not loyal and you’re not tapped in I don’t
You’re not die hard it’s like dude I watch every game I watch I’ve been watching every game my adult life I I can count how many games I’ve missed on the big three Sports on two hands here um but I I do feel like the the little
Bit of apathy has set in for SE a segment of Warrior fans because it’s been it’s been kind of a grind the last couple of years and I mean just like well everything funny well I’ll say to that is a lot of people aren’t built for
The grind a lot of people aren’t built for the Dark Days A lot of people are it’s just so easy to just tap out and say bye-bye like dny fringer who we all love shout out to dny fringer but I remember after the Warriors invest to
The NBA finals for what was it one two three four five straight seasons uhhuh Teddy frer when they did go 50 to 50 I remember the miss that season he goes you know Bonte I don’t mind it it’s been a lot over the last five years going to
The finals I’m exhausted I’m like you’re exhausted from winning you’re exhausted from playing deep into the playoffs can we put him to the side no I’m just saying but that’s that’s but are all your relationships in life whether it’s the loyalty to your team are they all
Constant or are they kind of up and down a little I’m constant really yeah I’m con cuz I know my relationship with my wife we got great weeks we got I mean well that’s dayto day that’s but that’s same thing with these teams for me like
I love hard and there are times where like the ners I always love my ners but there was a time there was a point in time I didn’t love them as much and I don’t mean like I didn’t care for them they weren’t my number one I didn’t miss
Any I didn’t miss a minute but it was like GH like it was like watching them almost in a disgust mode and I’m not there with the Warriors but I’m saying like there was a point in time with the Giants where I’m like I’m anger watching
If that makes sense yeah you hate watch or you anger watch where you’re not hoping for them to lose but you’re just disappointed at the team looks like they look I feel like the Warriors and I’m not saying like I still love the Warriors but there are times where I’m
Very indifferent watching them because I feel like I feel like we we we’ve hit a little rut here and it’s like clear to me that like we got to get to the end of the year I want to see what happens at the end of the year and then I also know
In the back of my head man they they got to make a lot of big moves if they want to be back into the mix well I want to I want to I want to get to that in just a second by the way late addition to the
Program Ryan ESPN friend of the program he going to join us at 8:30 uh he was calling an Iowa LSU game last night doing a hell of a job doing that what a tournament uh Caitlyn Clark she was phenomenal angel ree was good how about Paige Becker for Yukon outlasting USC
And JuJu Watkins sheeks a baller just a freshman so impressed with the ladies out there holding it down in the women’s basketball tournament and women’s game is grown and grown and grown and grown and grown and it’s good to see them love so we’ll give Ryan ruko some love and
Ask him about calling these games here but when it comes to the Warriors maybe maybe maybe you just need a big change maybe people like change maybe people want to change I don’t know but Bri uh but if I didn’t have real quick before you go play this s if they didn’t have
Steph clay and Dre and it was pky and TJ D and kaminga and they were in the same exact spot record-wise they were right now it would just feel different for everyone I don’t know it would feel different and I think that the fact that
You’ve had the same core for a long long long time and they’ve gotten us to the high of highs it re has recalibrated everyone’s expectations on what success is and I believe once that core you know goes away we will recalibrate again yeah probably probably but I will never get
Bored or watching say no I hear what you’re saying you just want something to change you just this team I see I want to see what I want to see is how see them in the play I want to see I want to see what they can do now as they because
They’ve only lost one Western Conference series under Steve Curry and I get that this is a completely different team they’re older they’re less athletic they’ve all lost a little something not they’ve all lost a little something it’s fair to say that they are getting older
This team it’s just been a lot with this team the inconsistencies I think that’s what has you feeling like this shasi I think jermond green being suspended multiple times and ejected has done something to the fandom here uh I think Andrew wiggin stepping away from the team due to personal reasons whether you
Like it or not whether you know what’s going on or not that has done something to the fan base and that it’s just it is what it is and it’s unfair but it is what it is with some of these fan base the lack of winning at home the inconsistencies when you get
Inconsistent play and you’re coming off a last season which was let’s face it man last season they had a five game winning streak a couple times and that was it yeah that was it and then the way the playoffs went down and and the lack of Road wins yeah and the other aspect
Is this I think when you watch every night it’s like wow wow this this team that we’re playing who’s been you know an also ran for a decade they’re more athletic than the Warriors wow they shoot better than the Warriors wow they like it it’s been a lot so like I I the
Overall takeaway is like we’re not so much clearcut better than everyone every single night and it’s I have to recalibrate as a fan and there are some frustrations as I’m watching but that’s sport do so I don’t get it’s not exclusive to the Warriors um Brian giler Sirus XM radio joined steiny goo
Yesterday and they were talk about big changes what just big changes look like what does this sound like what is what are big changes for the goto State Warriors here’s get eer uh on those potential big changes all right so what’s a big change not resigning Klay
Thompson that’d be a big change y right and that’s and and listen I still think they’re going to resign Klay Thompson but the bottom line is that we’re here at April 1st 2024 his contract expires June 30th 2024 and they don’t have his name on an extension so we have to
Explore that again don’t think it’s going to happen but that will be a major change I think they’re going to be out there trying to face find any taker they possibly can for Andrew Wiggins I think and that would be a substantial change now who will that taker be will they
Have to attach draft picks to him to get rid of them maybe it’s some kind of swap with someone like the Nets to bring in the last year of Simmons contract to get them out of the last you know three years of Wiggins it could be something
Like that but I think that would that would be a substantial change so obviously a huge change would be moving off one of the members of The Big Three clay Trey or Steph and we know Steph’s not going any where sounds like draymond’s not going anywhere Klay Thompson doesn’t have a contract yet
We’ll see what happens with him um maybe is like one thing that we’ll probably talk about in the offseason is is this even the best situation for Klay Thompson moving forward considering the style of basketball play considering the style of play considering where he’s at in his career I don’t know that’s
Something we’ll visit well like they did make a big I I think they did make a big move last year they traded Jordan pool for Chris Paul and it and it it doesn’t feel like it’s enough of a of a of a game changer would
You agree no because I think a big move is people want size and athleticism bigger I mean I mean big move in the moving off contracts was just here yeah in terms of contracts and and he was a top would you like even at his worst
Jordan P was a top seven player on the team yeah no doubt no doubt but he wasn’t here long enough to wear fans you know after after what happened last season a lot of people emotional conect the emotional ties in DRM St is way deeper it’s not even close it’s
Like moving off of Sean uh Matt Duffy versus you know belter or Crawford I agree with you there’s a lot of Warrior fans who would say well Jordan pull caught lightning in a bottle it was a fluky SE that’s what that’s how they would try to interpret it have a lot of
Really good memories of Jord I do too I try to have a lot of good memories of Jordan P but here’s kakami who joined Willard the dibs yesterday because he had Joe Lake about his podcast what about a month ago SP on within the last two weeks ago he had Jo on his
Podcast K C you try to explain what lakeer may have meant about making big changes this offseason I think Chris Paul coming back is now very dwindling chances of that happening that’s a contract that would just disappear uh Klay Thompson they will not be signing for $40 million I’ll tell you that and
If he does it will not be with Warriors and it might be half of that uh I think those are two easy things for them say that’s those are two big ch right you know to not bring back those two players would be large or to bring back clay at
Number I think gon Looney probably at this point I would not draw him uh down as being on the roster so just those three things would be interesting or they could possibly use the Chris Paul contract it’s non- guaranteed if the other team if you trade them to a team
That guarantees it you can use it to try to acquire money back those are the easy things or maybe not easy those are the kind of the the workable thing see that to me does it sound like big changes cuz I think going into the season we all
Assume that this was a one-year deal with Chris Paul now some of us would love to see Chris Paul back but are you going to bring him back at $30 million well I don’t want to lose the $30 million in trade cap exceptions exct right because it’s so diff you don’t
Just like if you lose Chris Paul and he just opts out and he goes into the Oblivion and you don’t do a sign and trade you lose that money no doubt you lose that slot you lose that money doubt you can’t get significantly better without that money and but then there’s
The Catch 22 are you going to go that deep into the luxury tax yeah exactly and I don’t think you are when you’re in tth place right now but Chris Paul moving on wouldn’t be a big change a big change would be moving two of your top six players which is clay or
Wigets we’ll get to that in a second I would be kind of disappointed though if you took the Jordan pool Ascension one year gave him money traded him for one year of CP3 only to lose all of that it ah that would be I mean it is
What it is but that’s a tough pill to swall 4 years old and I’m not sure Chris Paul is is extremely Chris Paul has been complete professional I’m so impressed with Chris Paul so much respect for him but what I’m saying is but what before yeah I understand that but what I’m
Saying is Chris Paul may not he may not think this situation as being advantageous for him moving forward you know what I’m saying his role has been kind of I settle the the final lineups and rotations and one day you’re seeing 25 minutes one day you’re seeing 18
Minutes I don’t know but you got to get under that second apron at some point you have to do that and you’re not going to try to go spin more money on a team you already the most expensive roster in basketball I mean but this is where like
The requirement is you’re going to have to probably move off of wigin who knows what they do with Draymond klay’s going to have to accept less money I mean there there’s a variety of things that need to happen because even if you just have wiggins’s trade uh I mean his
Salary cap to trade it’s not enough to net you the true differen makers who are making 15 to 20 million more than what he’s making before we get to S though like think about this though if you’re Klay Thompson and I’m not pocket watching here but you
See Andrew Wiggins you see Paul and you see Draymond get the money that they got from the goto St Warriors why the hell would you take a pay cut from his point of view I get it I pay cut yeah he has to take a pay cut like I mean he just
Does if he wants comprise because like I can’t justify paying him $43 million I don’t think he’s looking for 43 oh no well then that that’s a pay cut so anything less than that is but I mean like we’re going down $20 million I think 25ish is around the range to me
Give or take you know that’s I’m going to he’s right around like I think he’s worth more than these guys but I think what they’ll end up trying to give him is something in the Wiggins Draymond Green category so so I’m looking look I’m going to St I’m going to stand 10
Toes down on this one I think there’s going to be a team that offers Klay Thompson 30 a year but don’t the Warriors have to do what’s best for them absolutely but I’m saying I’m saying and they do but we look at the Warriors and we say say boy there’s a lack of
Shooting here lack of shooting you want to give up one of the better Shooters in the league well the second best shooter on your team by far right close right so that forget the league I just look at your current team how are you feeling that need don’t know don’t know you don’t
Have a lot of wiggle room let’s go to samita and Los scos samita what’s happening you’re on the roast you’re on 957 the game hey guys um morning I just wanted to make a couple of comments um first of all Monon your fit on Sunday was great
It was F I really love that outfit a thank you I tried to give you I tried to give you a little Easter Sunday special man little pink little light blue so one time I can pull it out the light blue is very nice very fashionable yeah that was
A that was a nice fit um thank you so about the Warriors I gotta tell you I think um I’m with shaty on this one like I’m a I’m a die hard I’ve said that every time I grew up in the midwest so you know we live and die with our teens
Out there I think sometimes it feels like the fans want it more than the team I mean I watched that San Antonio game and I was like how did we almost lose you know uh how did we play this poorly against a team that’s won 18 games and
Is missing a couple of key guys it just seems like you know it’s almost like my situation with my teen where you’re like I know you’re capable of better why can’t you just put it together and perform why did you miss that assignment why did you make that careless mistake
Here like that’s kind of what it seems like to me like the inconsistencies to me are now starting to feel like as a collective the team is just not locked in Steph’s locked in Dre is sometimes locked in Clay’s now coming off the bench I think the young guys some of
Them it’s it’s too much inconsistency I don’t feel like all the horses are going in the same direction when it counts no hey and Sita that’s a great point I’ll keep stay on the line here before we get to Jo B so S no and that’s something
Just I want to see over the last eight games can this team Possibly play as one cuz that to your point they’ve all been inconsistent this season even Stephen Curry pulse All-Star break his shooting numbers are down even though he’s still giving you 22 4 and4 but the efficiency
Hasn’t been there because everybody else hasn’t been they haven’t been in sync as one that’s the most frustrating part of this season yeah I totally agree and it’s you know you feel like the pieces are starting to come together the young guys I we talked about the two timelines I
Heard you guys talk about the two timelines kind of coming together and it’s meshing a little bit better but yeah I mean you know we don’t have a 1A we have a one and we don’t have a onea option yep you know um one other point I
Just wanted to make I’ve been thinking about this um ever since uh shaty was gone for a couple of weeks and I just wanted to let you guys know um it’s life out here in the bay is is pretty rough you know everybody’s you know just
Trying to do their best and and kind of survive and what you guys do it really provides a really nice start to the day where i’m focus on something else I feel like I’m part of a collective I feel like regardless of what I do or where I
Live or how much I make I I’m all part I’m part of this you know sports fan base and you guys really bring that out and I just want to let you know that that’s important and I appreciate it than much that’s the kind of seeing
Somebody said in a long time thank you so much I appreciate that I really do that’s all we try to do even though I can sound grumpy like I did yesterday at times when L tell me of no but you know it’s it’s interesting she said something there and no one is
Questioning the desire of the Warriors so I want to say that on the front end but it does like this fan base wants it bad for this team but there’s also a level of acceptance that like even if the guys want it they might not be good
Enough to be able to go out and get it nothing lasts forever they just gave us a decade the best basketb we’ll ever see let’s see how it ends let’s see how it ends here uh Joe and Burbank real quick before we get to Ryan Rico at 8:30 Jo
And Burbank what’s happening Joe hey I got to agree with that other lady you guys are absolute best you really get us off to he listen you know four championships most cities don’t even have one the Bay Area fans the Warrior fans have so much to be thankful for
It’s unbelievable but you know and I think the the Warrior fans appreciate everything the big three has given us you know we expect I’m sure we expect statues outside Chase of Center Arena and also many special be held in their honor so you know but since we won the
The championship in 2022 Jay Jay Joe lb has lost a lot of money last year and this year giving the core a chance to win again and I think a lot of Warrior fans I think most Warrior fans feel it’s time to put the franchise first instead
Of putting the core first uh Warrior fans I talk to don’t want to see us give up draft picks to move players they also don’t like the idea of moving the young players they like all the young players I know you know some people feel they
Should give some of them up to give the older players another crack next year at Championship but you know I just wanted to mention that but uh love the Warriors love your show you guys are fantastic thanks Joe appreciate it man Joe appreciate it uh we’ll get right back
Into the Warriors after Ryan ruko huge gabas Dallas huge game against Dallas tonight against Kyrie Luca donic a company Jas kid back in town but Ryan ruko is going to join us he was on a call last night for LSU Iowa Caitlyn Clark Angel Reese the dynamic behind Kim

Game crack crack crack I go out there see a little bit C right now drain a couple threes baby get out there stretching like Kobe and LeBron like I said like Stephano when they got the foam rollers like KD you on the floor I always want to do that man on the court
Like I’m Kobe or Lebron dude you sit in the court with the Fone roller going back and forth getting stretched out it’s about 15 minutes on the clock for tip off I wonder what that feels like when I see Bon with a foam roller I think LeBron Kobe yeah KD I love it
Steph I love it get the little waistbands I need all that stuff I need it all by the way last night’s ratings wow 6.87 million people watch that game or going to be last night no I think these are the over the weekend oh these are over the weekend these are
Over not the LSU gotcha vers Iowa that’s that’s going to be sick so what was the number six over the weekend yeah no over the weekend Shu UCLA got a 3.83 million but Iowa Colorado got 6.87 million on ABC Saturday man that was a great even the under four million that that’s
Better than a lot of World Series games just to give you an idea no doubt no doubt well last year last year the national championship peaked at 12.6 million at ABC espa nearly 10 million average of 9.9 million viewers uh watched that game last year the most watched NCAA Women’s Basketball game in
History in history and it may be historic this if kit L clar gets to the championship but it’s not going to be easy getting by getting by uh Paige Beckers in yuk man what what a what a tournament let’s talk to Ryan REO who’s on a call last night he’s been one of
The better ambassadors for women’s college basketball the WNBA finals have been on fire the West finals a couple years ago with Seattle on the Vegas Aces was really good Ryan Rico of course in the Yes Network ESPN the r2c 2 podcast with CC sabathier our Bay area native
Here in valo California Ryan long time no talk man excellent job last night excellent job during the tournament man really doing a hell of a job calling these games man thank you thank you man I I really appreciate that last night was gosh it was just so fun guys oh my
Gosh it was so fun we had so much fun watching it and just all weekend long and really the women’s tournament has been really good I I love the quarter system once they flip the format and go into the quarter system feel like you even gotten greater play but the names
The characters I mean there’s no doubt the women’s tournament is blown away the men’s tournament just in terms of star power but I thought you and Rebecca lbo really encapsulated it and captured the passion and captured the moment there last night with the LSU and Ian and Ryan
You couldn’t settle in last night because right away Kayla Clark started drained threes in that first quarter I got dizzy because I’m saying how the hell can these ladies keep up the pace that they were playing at last night it it’s so true it it like I mean you think
About it right we’re all going into that game with these Grand hopes and expectations and and what does this young woman do she hits a she hits a you know 28 foot left wing three boom on the first possession and it’s like buckle up and then you know in that first quarter
Before you blink she has 10 points and three assists and then all of a sudden Angel ree has 10 points and five rebounds and a couple of blocks and it’s just like my gosh and the pace back and forth it was the uh the most points in the first quarter most combined points
In a first quarter in a tournament game since I think 2018 wow it was it was amazing and that’s the thing right you know you you get the audience there and we’re all so excited for it but then you want you want the basketball to live up
To the hype and obviously the startom to as well to continue to draw people in and pay off their Ambitions and expectations and it not only pays it off it exceeds them and we got a feeling that it was going to right out of the gates it was just it was remarkable and
It it was just it was just fun it was just really fun yeah you know I I really enjoyed this game and we’ve been depressed here in San Francisco after losing the Super Bowl to the Chiefs and I said to Bonte it’s like that might have been the most entertaining game
I’ve seen since the Super Bowl in any sport um and and I’m biased like I I’ve been coaching girls basketball a long time I got a niece who’s playing at a high level right now and so I I’m all in and watching Caitlyn Clark and the way
That she plays the game and the contrast to way LSU was playing the game where you have the traditional big and even Morrow is more of a banger and just the free flowing fast-paced stretch out Iowa offense I I just loved the way the game looked aesthetically and I thought it
Was just a Great Entertaining environment what was it like in the actual venue yesterday as you’re calling the game it was incredible and and and I and I totally agree with what you’re talking about the style and and that’s credit to Lisa blutter Iowa’s coach as well because she just does such a
Wonderful job of using Caitlyn’s gravity uh to create maximum space and cutting and and Caitlyn’s passing is as good as her shooting remarkably and and so just it makes for this just beautiful style of basketball but the atmosphere was amazing guys and you know one of the
Ways I can always tell or or I try and use as a barometer for okay what’s the crowd going to be like today is you know are people filing into the crowd when it is you know the doors have just opened right what’s the crowd look like 30
Minutes before tip all those kind of things well the doors open yesterday an hour and a half before tip and people came rushing down to the bottom of their sections wanting to get as close as possible to watch Iowa and LSU during these warm-ups when I was sitting at the
Table going through some of our our elements and our open before tip on headset we you know we sit down as a crew we go through certain things I’m looking around it’s already full and I’m I’m just like what we have an hour we we actually had like an hour and 18 minutes
Before tip and it’s full like it it it was the atmosphere was was absolutely electric and you could even feel it walking around Albany a little bit yesterday where people were just buzzing anticipating the start of the game and and it felt like one of those days where
It’s like all right when is tip going to get here when is gonna get here and uh and everybody in the crowd felt the same well we’ve got three games left Ryan out in Cleveland Ohio for sure which will be fascinating as well with undefeated South Carolina you got Paige Beckers in
Yukon outlasting Juju Watkins in USC you got of course you got Iowa Caitlyn Clark and in state who nobody’s talking about who can light it up from the perimeter as well I think they’re to give South Carolina a run for their money Ryan ruko here on the morning RAR 9570 game ESPN
YES Network r2c 2 podcast of CC Sabathia was on call along alongside Rebecca Lobo they do a great job together unbelievable job so the coverage first before we get to the coverage of the sport and everything that’s happened over the weekend Caitlyn Clark in the in
The growth of her game Ryan I was very impressed this whole tournament I didn’t know she was the playmaker she was the the floor game dropping dimes crosscourt passes is that what is that the biggest growth of her game from her Junior season to her senior season you know
What her passing has been there a while it’s just gotten that much better I think with the familiarity of the offense she’s gotten a little bit stronger um you know just more and more reps and chemistry with her teammates but her passing has been Elite for a
While it’s just it’s just continued to grow and grow and get better and get better cuz this is a young woman who is obsessed with being great she is obsessed with milking every aspect of her talent to become the greatest player she possibly can and I’m telling you
Right now there are there are three or four times a game where she makes a pass and Rebecca and I just slap each other like oh my gosh like she sees she my my dad text me um the other day and he was like it’s like watching Gretzky in in
The sense that he would see the ice as you guys know before anybody else would right like to see things before they developed she really does that too she had a pass the other day in the Colorado game it didn’t result in the bucket but where Rebecca and I were just we were
Literally Jaws dropping she she turned and with and spun and through a pass knowing exactly where Hannah stoki was going to be without ever having eyes on her not like a no look where you you knew the person was there but you but you know looked it like literally she
Had never ever looked at Hannah stalky but knew she where she was going to be and just fired behind her back to her right on Target and we were just like oh my gosh um but she does that multiple times a game her her get ahead passing
Is incredible and I say this her range we have never seen before in the women’s game ever much much like we had not seen it before Steph in the men’s game right it’s completely unique to Caitlyn in the women’s game the things that I think remind me of other players in the best
Way she’s almost an amalgamation of Sue bird and Diana terasi in this regard Sue’s passing especially her get ahead passing and then Diana’s ability to shoot off the dribble and so you add those two you know alltime greats together and then you add in her range which is unmatched and you have one
Showstopping star yeah there’s no doubt about it that I was telling be it reminded me of some version of Larry bir and Steph Curry just in terms of getting to any spot on the floor anytime that they wanted um being able to hit from anywhere and there was a
Sequence that reminded me so much of Curry where you’ve got Angel Reese in the back court she’s going in transition and kayin car kind of just slows up ever so closely and here comes Angel ree cuz she’s got to defend the three-pointer cuz she could rip it at any point and
It’s all to set up a passing Lane for one of the trailing players coming down and that’s where I want to lead you to is I thought Iowa was surrounding cast did a great job in this game moving without the ball finishing around the rim um hitting buckets boxing out I
Don’t know I was thoroughly impressed with with Iowa’s Team game yesterday yeah I agree I totally agree you know and even Addison O’Grady coming in she’s B yeah she really was and you know and like against against two of the best posts in the country in reese and Morrow
And being able to hold her own after stoky got in foul trouble you know stoky it was interesting talking to Lisa bler yesterday she said you know stalky is so soft-hearted tonight we’re going to need her to be steel harded um because because she knew with all the hype
Around the game you know it would be so easy to get frustrated and discouraged when you get blocked by Angel Reese or when you you get scored on by Morrow and uh and you could see stoky even at the end she had that sort of exclamation
Point and one on a Caitlyn pass late and you could see her really let go the emotion which I thought was even a a sign of of emotional growth from stalky in this moment and and then Kate Martin who’s they consider the glue of this team was terrific doing all the little
Nitty-gritty things defending wonderfully she’s such a great leader and she ends up putting 21 points up and Sydney a falter sneaky sneaky big player for Iowa because she had been off the bench All Season Molly Davis gets hurt on Senior Day a falter slides into the starting lineup and she has played
Wonderfully and is confident and you know for Caitlyn to feel like she can you know pass you the ball in Big Moment she’s got to believe that you’re confident and uh and Sydney is that we saw her hit that driving layup against West Virginia in the second round when
The game was tied with a little over a minute to go and so they all came to play yesterday and and they all also they just they understand the cutting the screening the timing they understand all of it and how to make Caitlyn out are absolute best Ryan ruko here on the
Morning rose on 9570 game Ryan ruko does a great job for ESPN in the Yes Network R2 C2 podcast couple more for you here Ryan as you get ready to go to Cleveland Ohio fly J Johnson was special for LSU Angel Reese we know about her play and
Her Pro SP Pro Prospects I was a little H I guess befuddled by the defensive strategy by Kim Moi and we know how controversial she is but I I don’t want to ask you about that we’ll leave that for another day but van lift was on an
Island poor girl G Caitlyn Clark what did you think about their defensive strategy against Caitlyn Clark I thought they throw more traps at her more doubles at her maybe press her a little bit more but then LIF poor child man was left on the island and you know she was
Barbecue chicken last night yeah I I mean I I agree that was a really tough spot to put haey van lith in um van lith also has been sick so you know who knows if if that affected her motor a little bit she’s in incredible shape but that
Might have affected her motor a little bit but no matter what that’s going to be an impossible assignment it’s basically an assignment that no one Defender can take on but you kind of saw a blueprint West Virginia the way they pressured Caitlyn with four really physical fast
Perimeter Defenders um not every team in the nation has that kind of personnel to do that but F Johnson’s incredible and I was really surpris that LSU did not spend any time putting FL on Caitlyn now their idea was Caitlyn’s going to get hers no matter what there you know they
All they had been preaching hey she scores 30 in wins she scores 30 in losses what we need to do is we need to make sure nobody else goes off so with that philosophy their idea was having FL elsewhere and thinking that hey if L guards Caitlin maybe she gonna get into
Foul trouble quicker although as it turns out she ended up in foul trouble anyway yeah or maybe she’s going to um you know Kaylin’s still going to score on her and now all of a sudden they’re they’re weaker in other places but I I just feel like there was also you know
There’s times where van lith is going under the screen and the big is in drop cover so there’s no one near Caitlyn like you it was um it was really it was it was curious the way they went about it now of course Caitlyn’s so great that she may have rendered any defense
Meaningless and and just found a way to win last night but I I do think if I was LSU once I saw the way things were going and and they’re they’re their response to Van lith was putting in last tier POA who last year did a pretty nice job
Against Caitlin and the championship game forced a couple offensive fouls and is a good Defender but last night she she struggled with klin as well and and and I yeah I I probably would have given F some time yeah no doubt before we get you out of here did we all sleep on
Paige Beckers in Yukon because I thought the job Juju got her Juju Watkins is special I mean she is smooth she’s only going to she’s a freshman and I that was a hell of a game uh up in Portland but I thought Yukon and their Defenders did a
Hell of a job on making Juju work I think she went like eight minutes in the second quarter with without even shooting a basket without a field goal attempt it felt like we slept on Gino paig Beckers and these Yukon Huskies again and I think that match up against
Iowa what you’re talking about Ryan is maybe they could Implement some of those things that West Virginia did against Iowa yeah you you know what I it’s going to be a really interesting match you’re right everybody slept on page and the reason is just the injuries right we
Never really we didn’t really get to see her fully in her sophomore or Junior Seasons we we we just didn’t you know we I mean in her sophomore year she did still end up in the national championship game right but it was like a A reduced version of her who was
Clearly still not 100% dealing with injury rehabbing last year out the entire year so I I I think it was easy for people to forget just how good she was a freshman year remember when Yukon and Iowa played in The Sweet 16 Pig’s freshman year Caitlyn’s freshman year
Paige was absolutely the better player on the floor that day now Caitlyn game has grown a ton since then uh but Paige is reminding everybody how wonderful she is and I think regardless of the result on Friday people will come away from that game saying oh we get to see
Another year of Paige Beckers at Yukon and she along with gu guu will kind of carry the flag that Caitlyn’s held this year in in college basketball so I mean Yukon between niik mule KK Arnold and Paige they can definitely um put some pressure on Caitlyn on the perimeter uh
And and then AE Edwards who’s going to be uh likely a top five pick in the WNBA draft as the big in the center who’s really good as long as she stays out of foul trouble you know yukon’s going to be a really tough game for Iowa um but
Iowa still has Kaitlyn Clark and that means they have a great chance every time they step on the floor man what a final four for you guys over at the ESP South Carolina going for an undefeated season NC State the wolf pack shocking everybody blowing out Texas beaten
Staford alas Portland of course on the other side you get paig Becker against Caitlyn Clark ukat against Iowa the women’s game in great shape here man I’m it’s so cool to see the women’s game get their proper respect I feel like the tournament’s been really good for a long
Long time and now finally you got the star power you got the viewership you got the eyeballs you got social media and you Ryan ruko have a lot to do with that with the way you’re calling the games and your passing for not only the women’s basketball tournament the NCAA
But also the WNBA as well and that game continues to grow we can’t wait to get that out here in the bay are Ryan thanks so much for the time on short notice man continue the great work we’ll be listening when you call the games in Ohio Cleveland Ohio this weekend thank
You guys so much for the kind words I so appreciate it and and just honored and love getting to do what I do and happy to talk with you guys anytime absolutely Ryan ruko here on the morning Ro we’ll talk some baseball with him later in the
Season calls Yankee games as well was out there in New York City man what what a day for women college basketball yesterday unbelievable I I do want to make a a good point here you know there are a lot of things that have created a cottage industry uh or a niche or found
Their Lane and have been highly wildly successful that maybe won’t be cocacola or the Apple you know what I mean or or Google right so everybody’s like you got to are they ever going to be bigger than the NBA who cares golf is not a real sport loved and beloved like
The big three basketball baseball and and the NFL it is a unbelievably wildly profitable Niche industry would you agree absolutely okay I don’t think tennis is on the same level as those other three wildly successful and profitable I do oh my gosh but like but but Bonte just because
The WNBA or women’s college basketball is not going to jump into the top three doesn’t mean it can’t have unbelievable success Master Sunday which we all agree has the prestige it has the the history it’s got a specific time slot on Sunday you know the music we can all envision
It 12 million people watched the Sunday of the Masters and it’s going on for like six or seven hours 12 million people all right it’s one of the most profitable things that we have in sports the women’s game and the college final four for them it can be wildly
Successful and never even come close to what the NBA or the NFL is and it doesn’t need to be so I’m looking right now at this very moment the minim minum ticket price on StubHub to get into the men’s final four 570 bucks the minimum ticket price on StubHub to get into the
Women’s final four almost double 970 and that went up after yesterday before Caitlyn Clark and Iowa punched her ticket I believe the ticket was around 350 bucks and then Caitlyn Clark punched her ticket and then Paige Beckers punched her ticket and you got Don Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks
Being undefeated looking for a perfect season people like oh we got to be in Cleveland Ohio why because it’s it it got stars and it’s the invoke thing to do would you agree absolutely absolutely there there’s a lot of you know we call Front Runners or whatnot but no I think
People are fascinated and it’s good quality basketball you know what you know what I was more pleased with not only during that interview with Ryan ruko but even yesterday the stuff that happened over the weekend with the Washington Post article in the LA Times article about
LSU and Angel Reese and Kimi that all got overshadowed yeah cuz the game all about the game the game the game the game and that’s what I want to get back to with the NBA with pro football with baseball I wanted to be about the game
The game the game it’s too many times we’re talking about something that has nothing to do with the game what what I was pleased with with that they had their they had their stage yesterday Yukon USC LSU Iowa they had their platform yesterday it was all about the game and those young ladies
Those coaches they delivered well Bonte and when you score 90 points like a aesthetically what does it look like like are are you playing defense right cuz I think it’s well I mean if you score 90 points no one’s play did you watch the game every shot was contested
It was unbelievable effort and energy that was going on and the execution was beautiful it was beautiful basketball there was a contrast of styles I’m watching I watched the first half I forget what game was it was 27 to 11 at half time Virginia of the and I Virginia
Well no the first quarter was Warriors magic no no it was 2711 at halftime in a men’s college ball Virginia it was horrible and watching a like a brickfest and and it’s just and so I’m saying like where I’m going at with all this is that the
Women’s game has had a little lane here and they’ve ran with it and they’ve made the most of it and people that are trying to compare to the NBA that’s a Fool’s errand what you need to do is appreciate that it’s taking its opportunity finding its Niche and
Creating a way to not only be wildly popular and successful but to grow their game this is why I also you know when we compare players and we quick the to compare players and you know 415 exity mobile Texas I say you guys always need to make things about top three this and
Top five that top three this just keep it about Sport and I totally agree with that I stopped doing top five the top 10 list I don’t care about who’s a top 10 player it’s all opinionated anyway I don’t care about that stuff what about the game what about the sport what about
The moment and that moment yesterday with LSU Iowa the height that it received Le the up to that game REM be a little bit of USC Texas in a Rose Bowl and there’s been other things that’s a good call where the game actually lived up to the hype like Texas USC Texas USC
Got hyped up so much and it lived up to the hype and you had Keith Jackson on the call which made me feel special because Keith Jackson was phenomenal but rarely do you get a game that lives up to the hype right a matchup that lives
Up to the hype you think about Super Bowls how many time we hype up in Super Bowl and the Super Bowl just kind of bucks Chiefs was kind of a it was a let down Super Bowl pandemic too no fans you know what I’m saying like it’s Brady
Vers momes and it felt over like after a quarter but it just it just yeah and it was just different because Kansas City didn’t fly into Tempa Bay until like that Friday or Saturday did Chief sneers live up to the hype I don’t know if it
Did I thought it did I don’t know if it I mean went it ended on walk because because I had people texting me saying that they were texting me saying that hey this game’s a little dull really because of all the pun and maybe I’m too
Close to it but see no no no but but how let me ask you guys this how you full bot Rams it was a great defensive it was one of the great defensive int the word I would use for both of those games is intense no one was pulling away matter
Every they were both tight a little bit it’s like no one wanted to make the mistake and no one could capitalize on the mistake so I agree with that I love that game I love that game but a lot of people thought 133 yes 16 points in the
Game cuz people need points points points right it a Wade Phillips bich I know but people but if you ask the average fan they say oh that’s one of the worst Super Bowls ever a lot of people would say that about 133 like the Carolina vers Denver was more of a
Defensive struggle but it was kind of an ugly game it was ugly but you kind of do that right I enjoyed it I enjoy all games they’re all different they’re all different well I just think last night to your point about living up to the billing it was aesthetically pleasing
And I thought I thought it was a brand I watching Iowa reminded me a lot of watching The Warriors there was high IQ guys were gals were hitting buckets moving without the ball I saw one team was clearly under siiz compared to the other and they were doing a great job
Team rebounding uh the passing was beautiful movement without the ball and then clearly when you watch Caitlyn Clark her ability to get anywhere on the floor is next level yeah it it was it was it was just she’s fascinating she’s such a good player she’s fascinating
She’s going to be the number one pick in the WNBA I’m guessing and then you know a lot of people war warriors can the warriors uh came Brink from Stanford might doubt WNBA like the Warriors are going to have their team coming in 2025 so ins draft I would have loved to have
Had Caitlyn Clark could he get Paige Beckers so I’ll set up for Paige Beckers what we need is Caitlyn to accept that big three contract for $5 million and then leave after a year then go to the Warriors see but you know I think that she’d be doing herself a disservice well
I know she’s not actually going to well should she actually she’s going get paid a lot of money there should get paid more probably should probably get just as much money going to WNBA and not just through the WNBA but through sponsorship I watched a person last night who looked
Like they wanted to compete with all the smoke with whoever’s got it like that just seeing her compete level last night you she wants whatever the top-notch competition is she’s going to be searching it out and that’s what I appreciate I want to see the best you
Know and I felt like I was watching the best now apparently we’re going to get the two on two Caitlyn Clark Sabrina ycu Steph Curry Klay Thompson but I want three-point shoot but I also want I want I want two more want Dame in Oakland Dame Willard okay from Oakland I want
Them involved and you get maybe Kelsey Plum I wouldn’t mind that I wouldn’t mind that yeah I’m down with that Chelsea Gray I don’t mind getting Chelsea Gray involved she she’s a baller I walked past uh Kelsey Plum at the Pack 12 championship game when I ran into
Roxy she’s a good person I bet her uh uh pack to Media day please explain know what she said to me she actually said this to me true story I was working for yard you work with is awesome this sh is the best this is long before you’re on the
Map uh that guy you work with won let you talk no uh I’m talking to it was also before that it was y Barker Fox Sports days if you let me get it out y y Barker Fox Sport who always with the pack to Media day oh and she looked at
Me she goes you kind of look like Drake I was like you’re not the first person to say that now now might not be the time to look like Drake with Kendrick Lamar going at him yeah I mean whatever Drake’s got a lot of money they all got
A lot of money they all have a lot of money I think he’s got his own freaking 707 for crying out loud so anyway no that was my interaction with Kelsey plums actually got a great personality great personality uh you know great power couple her and Darren Waller too
Oh Darren’s got to live up to his side of it no he’s done he might retire they’re talking about what no yeah the Giants don’t know if he’s gone or not uh why don’t you hit me with the filmo mic legal and then I want to get into an
Analogy I have regarding the current Golden State Warriors and the fans V time for you to do the legal call wait one more time call it for Jos spon already see this is this is where Shas gets lost we’re like a piano bar Pon and I have already worked this out

To to just walk down this Lane with me it might not it might not hold for you all right may walk down the lane I’m going to sit down in this chair turn my mic off and let you talk without interrupting me so three of us on this
Show of the four are Big Star Wars fans and and we’ve watched say I knew it’s going to be Star Wars well he teased it he couldn’t give it away I know did Give It Away by saying this Trilogy cuz it Lord of the Rings it wasn’t Lord of the
Rings so I look it wasn’t the rocky series Lord of the Rings it was only Star Wars going to be Star Wars It’s the only trilogies he’s watched all right so Star Wars came out 47 years ago all right and it was a Trilogy and it was by
Many people’s uh standards one of the greatest sci-fi trilogies of all time Standalone movies one of the greatest sequels of all time it’s Godfather to it’s Empire Strikes Back I mean there’s a short list I mean there for a variety of reasons it was a Trends Setter it
Changed how we film how we do uh you know action movies all of the different things like the the the choreography in terms of the lightsabers and whatnot I mean there was so much groundbreaking stuff and it’s a lot like the Warriors Dynasty all right if you grew up and you
Consumed the original Star Wars Trilogy that’s the Benchmark all other Star Wars movies are viewed if you’re my age through that prism right of a new hope of empire ST strikes back and of Return of the Jedi those are the gold standard if you’re a warrior fan and you’re in
Let’s say you’re 30s right or your 20s the gold standard or even in your 50s the gold standard of warrior basketball has been the step clay and Draymond era everything that happens from here on out is going to be through like that’s the gold standard nothing can get better
Than that it was incredible every single night they were putting on an unbelievable show it was the best of the best the best of the best and then 20 years after that original Star Wars you know Trilogy came out they came out with they call it the prequels and spon
You weren’t my age you were younger I was five yeah it’s actually going to be the 25th anniversary this may Shas and I’m going to take my son to see it cuz they’re re-releasing in theaters the phant men my dad took me and my brother
Ray took us out of school early to go see it Darth double-sided lightsaber coolest thing ever memory for life so so I’m older right so for me the originals were the gold standard then they come out with the prequels and I rejected it originally I said no this isn’t good
Enough and like a lot of Warrior fans rejecting what they’ve seen the last couple years no no no no no this isn’t good enough right because of the standard of the originals but someone like Joe pedon I’m sure the prequels hit hard for you they do because you didn’t
Have the gold standard of The Originals I mean you changing your view McGregor is my Obi-Wan exact not Al Guinness as we have this plane in the air and I’m sure we’re going to Lon at some point well wait wait a minute the lon Falcon oh we’re only halfway through the flight
Okay all right but as I’ve gotten older I’ve learned to appreciate the prequels and I really like the third one I I really do the final scene where you have Obi-Wan Kenobi and and what and Anakin going at it and he slices up Anakin and heom
We desending or are we still 30,000 ft in the air so the point that I’m getting at they will never be they will never be the originals for me okay but I’ve grown to appreciate the prequels what I’m watching with the Warriors this year it’s never going to be the gold standard
But I’m doing the best I can to appreciate what we have in the moment and understanding that if you give me a little you know Luke in these in these next movies in these sequel trilogies I’m okay with it give me a little curry in the first round and let’s do it rers
Rers please put your seat outside please get back to your seats we’re now descending no but I I really truly believe that like if you look at the Warriors and what they did during their dynastic run as the original trilogy for the Star Wars and everything
Else that’s compared to it is going to look lesser than and it’s really hard to recalibrate now that I’m older and I’m I’m raising a little boy you know I love the Mandalorian even though I know it’s flawed even though I know it’s not great
I love Boba Fett even though I know it’s not what the originals were I love psky is he gonna be Kevin Durant no I understand that he can’t he can’t hold you know Jabba the Huts candle but that’s okay I could still enjoy it and let’s see where it goes so that’s where
I’m going today I’m making the comparison that the old warriors were the original Star Wars movies and everything else that were basing on off of it’s almost unfair rers rers would like to T take this time for listening to the show and flying with this here on 9570
Game may you enjoy your trip and please fly with us again soon beep what remake movie what remake movie in your mind I find your lack of faith disturbing did not need to be redone right let’s say it’s white man can’t jump that’s the gold standard you don’t
Need to do another one we all agree like no the original stands alone that’s what the warriors were but it doesn’t mean that you can’t watch the the new one and be like all right I’ll enjoy it I’ll do my best I can I hear I hear you’re
Coming from chassis especially with the comparison to the sequel trilogies because again with the sequel trilogies there have been moments where you’re just like that was really cool uh in Last Jedi where they go to where does the the light speed with the ship and they go through the Imperial ship that
Was so cool I didn’t even know you could do that you can’t that’s the problem you can’t do that the sequel Trilogy just see what I’m saying I’m Morello and P it’s foress called front running now we got the flight jokes but I also understand but I also understand
I’m I’m jaded because I watched The Originals through a child’s eye when I watched the original dynasty of the Warriors it was through a child’s eye if you will I was naive I I wasn’t accustomed to being a lak years old when the dynasty started it was incredible
You’re not a kid you’re a grown ass adult and now everything is through that prism so of course it’s going to fall a little short this look like taking Spirit Airlines 650 hey I’ll get you where you need to go no not all the time keep expectation
You get a flight cancell s out Spirit Airlines now if we’re keeping it really 100 with the sequel Trilogy Han Solo ends up dying in the first one oh great Luke passes away in the second fer ended up passing away in between them you could give me a Creed or rocky
We had to go Star Wars the last you lost half our audience it’s only one of the highest grossy movies of all time that doesn’t matter there’s a lot of highest grossy movies that I’ve ever watched before can you even name the best film from last year was it Oppenheimer I’ve
Never watched that movie you haven’t seen Oppenheimer yet no I haven’t dude you need you need to bookmark three hours out of your day to watch it oh great awesome I watch all movies maybe I’ll just watch it during the GI game with her Pat Aus Slater
Second that’s what I’ll watch H judging from the uh YouTube chat Power by First Credit Union I think they want this to happen unfortunately I don’t want to do it shasy but they’re making me hon see you I feel honored spon you are my producer TR shout out to Brian I didn’t
Want to go I’m just going to wait this out go ahead get your Star Wars stuff on now I’m not following it up I’m just glad we landed the plane not waiting to get off the flight you know everybody standing up waiting for their luggage that’s what I’m doing right now please
Let me off this flight please I need to get to my Uber right now I need get the bag of clay right now please that’s where I’m at with the Star Wars I tried to walk down the lane I tried well you haven’t watched one minute of any of the
Films I watched Star Wars the original like 50 years ago I like 10 47 years my heart hurts I stand by the take comments are hilarious they had their revenge of the Jedi uh Revenge of the Sith moment though they woned two years ago exactly that was the bonus title that was like
The final minutes of Rogue one where Darth Vader gave us that incredible scene that’s what the bonus title was that YouTube tell me on YouTube we’re stuck on a Tac right now we’re the Warriors in New York City we can’t get to Toronto fast enough that’s all right
It’s all right I know you feel me though you lost me cuz you just don’t understand you don’t get the the sequels 65 no man I’m taking a parachute Sam Gordon on the other side Sam did you like that I like well thought out it was I it it made sense it
It tracked it held up that was a good analogy you know the problem is is that that anal my significant other on radio doesn’t want to ride with me and I get that I for just doesn’t flow through him he pulled a tray he pulled a tray he
Jumped out of the car he didn’t want to get in the car with Doughboy it’s okay you went pre you went this you went that way you went that way we Zig we zagged I threw up on the flight I don’t know Joe where’s my crap fries that’s good what’s coming up on
The game brought to you by O’Reilly Auto Parts s Gordon the chronicle the jokes just write themselves man my heart is hurting oh I guess what I don’t know where we’re going for the last 40 minutes we’ll try to recover I we’ll get off the tarm back I promise you we’ll
Get off the flight it’s done you were the chosen one Ah Yeah [Applause] N [Applause] yeah W [Applause] [Applause] He’s like please let me off this flight please I need get to my Uber right now I need get the bag of clay right now please what you should have done was land your plane you don’t own that plane the taxpayers do son your ego is writing
Checks your body can’t cash now back to the morning roast with Bon and shasy all right we’re back we’re huh we’re back we’re back I’m sorry guys I I I know there’s a lot of Star War fans out there and they’re all coming at me trust me I’ve already I went to the
Bathroom saw a couple DMS screw you bought the Star Wars and Al just spot on just cuz you don’t get it man screw you no that’s what I said to you what did the DM say they well they added a couple add chbs in there what’s the
Worst character in the history of Star Wars it’s jorger right or Finn Finn’s not that bad anyone from the seil jar Le has I’m sorry I I I’m I’ve regrouped um I’ve regrouped from laughing because it took long I didn’t know it was going to take seven minutes uh to get the analogy
Out but I was trying to find figure out the point you were basically saying I don’t even know what you’re saying to be honest with you I I I I think I know what you’re were saying but you know um Frisco native Star Wars is more interesting than anything Bon’s ever got
To say well yet Frisco native 405 you’re to chat every damn day listening to our show so maybe your life is just not that interesting buddy are you gonna go see Dune no did you see Dune one no no interest at all I do want to go see Dune too I want to
Give I don’t even know what Dune is I want to get well it’s kind of like a lot of the Star Wars stuff was based off the original Dunes books from back in the day at least that’s what Dune lovers will say um but the first movie came out
A couple of years ago and aesthetically it looks absolutely I mean unbelievable and it’s a star studded cast I just when when movies continue to add on it feels like it’s just a money everything’s a franchise they know you’re yeah cuz they know you guys are all suckers you’re
Going to go to the movies and dress up like Star Wars characters which is while we had Star Wars night at Chason it was hilarious had Star Wars night at Chason the only thing I could think of was L does like Star Wars he does like Star
Wars he does like Star Wars a lot of people I just asked Guru and Evan they’re Big Star Wars guys I asked dressed up as Lando as a kid dude I I uh who did yeah wow I asked uh I asked uh stardy I was like you like Star Wars
Stardy he looks so slowly he goes what do you think that’s is sty you’re more like me than you think you are I watched Matlock growing up hey Matlock was a good show the rods the reruns hit no but you know I would say this like for example I went
In very skeptic on Barbie the movie Barbie Barbie was awesome I heard Barbie was good it was really good I don’t know if it’s for kids per se because I I think it’s got a lot of adult material but like I didn’t I Barbie’s a quote unquote franchise from a toy but they
They had a whole new spin on it and I thought it was it was awesome I thought it was really well written well done it is one of my like pleasant surprises of watching movies so this 408 text before we get to S Gordon of the SF chronic
Wait I’m ask him if he’s a Star Wars guy and if he is I I I got respect for him no problem some people just don’t have the same artistic vision and aren’t culture enough so they won’t understand you shasi you love the original but appreciate the attempt to replicate
Especially what you were trying to say about the go to State Warriors yes there you go but it just took seven I mean you went all these great point shasi I don’t mean to I don’t want to sound like a bully here because I know that’s what people think
Uh Sam Gordon SF Chronicle are you a Star Wars fan Sam let’s get to know you buddy uh not particularly fellas not particularly you know what Sam I like you even better now I can’t hey when I see you to Dan say s no we’re not flushing Sam we’re not flushing Sam just
No Sam I love you even more you know what Sam let’s just book you for weekly right now matter of fact how about you become our third host here in the morning R Sam but since we want to get to know you you don’t like Star Wars which stocks up in my book
Uh where you come from man very much appreciated yeah where where you come from man because you’re new on the beat all of a sudden I see this guy Sam Gordon right in Fr The Chronic I’m like who the hell is that so where you come from man tell us about
Yourself uh well first and foremost guys happy Tuesday very much appreciate you uh welcoming you on the program I I uh born and raised in Minneapolis Minnesota Went to went to college at the University of Minnesota was there a couple years after graduation working you know a few different jobs part-time
In freelance for the St Paul Pioneer Press working with sport radar and then uh moved over to Las Vegas uh for SE for seven years St of the Las Vegas Review Journal um and covered a little bit of everything there chronicled uh you know was was was on the ground when as the
City really transformed into a pro sports market so had the chance to uh cover the Raiders and kind of the emergence of the NFL in Vegas the Las Vegas aces of course the sweet science of professional boxing and then and then UNLV and just kind of the community uh
The Las Vegas community and sportsman the community LR so uh it’s been it’s been great been in the bay now I think this you know coming up on two and a half months so it’s been great I’ve appreciate the warm welcome um from everybody here including you guys and
You know everybody you know in media and obviously with the organization whatnot so it’s been a heck of a ride so far and and uh we’ll see uh we’ll see what happens these last couple weeks the regular season get ready to conclude yeah you had me at boxing we can talk
Boxing all day long I love that about you already but would since you’ve covered to go to State Warriors what’s your take away from this season man from watching to for in Now cover the team going on on the road they obviously went 4-1 in this recent road trip but I think
Lot of fans are saying well you just beat San Antonio you just beat Charlotte we need to see you beat Dallas so what is your impressions here as we head into the last eight regular season games yeah I mean I certainly think it’s uh you know the fact that I mean
Obviously not the season that anybody I think thought that the warriors were going to have right when you when you have that kind of payroll when you have that kind of pedigree I don’t think the expectation from anybody is to be you know battling for the T seed in the play
And uh that being said I I arrived um kind of at the point where the Warriors started to turn things around they’ve been pretty steady pretty consistent for the most part since I’ve been on on the beat per se now I know there’s been you know you know some game to game
Inconsistencies and whatnot but they’ve been you know since Draymond Green has returned from suspension right they’ve been pretty pretty solid for the most part 22 and 13 uh one of the better net ratings in the NBA and and they they take care of the teams generally speaking they take care of the teams
They’re supposed to take care of right they they’re beating the teams that they outclass uh where they struggled is against teams that are of higher class right the you know against the better teams in the NBA uh Team like that the Dallas Mavericks who the playing ton night I think certainly represents that
Now at this point in the season with what they’ve kind of been able to discover you know post Allstar break after acquiring Daniel Gafford with the Rhythm that you know Luca donic and Kyrie Irving have found playing off one another I think you at this juncture of
The Season uh they’re playing you know just about as well as anybody in the Western Conference so tonight you know represents a big test but uh you know a lot of the big tests that the Warriors have faced uh you know my time you know they either they’re either right there
And kind of fade down the stretch or or or just having you know haven’t measured up to the the better team so this I think these next couple weeks are crucial you want to of course get in the dance that’s the most important thing for this team that’s obviously the
Priority but I think a win over over a team like Dallas uh who they’re going to see again on Friday uh you know going they’re gonna have an opportunity to go into Los Angeles again next week like racking up some of these wins against you know playoff caliber teams teams
That they’re going to need to beat if they want to you know make any run I think are Paramount to just kind of show that they can you know they can compete um at that level because that’s what they’re going to need to do again for in
Order to establish any kind of playoff run they really haven’t done that and uh tonight I think presents a prime opportunity to to kind of carry some momentum over from the trip into a game at home Sam I consider myself an artist uh you know very a creative if you will
And sometimes you get a little too close to the painting and you miss a spot from someone on the outside looking in what was your opinion of the Warriors before you got here and how has that changed now that you’ve been around them for a couple of months
Oh that’s a great question um I mean you know every I would say it it’s clear what the class of organization the Warriors have been you know that’s that’s been pretty clear from the last you know the the decade plus and then obviously reading you know everything
From afar and just kind of learning about the way they operate um you get a sense that they you know tend to do things a little differently and that in a lot of ways is responsible for the success the last 10 years right and I think coming in from an outside from the
Outsider from an outsider’s perspective coming in I definitely see that up close just kind of the the professionalism and the standard of the organization from from top to bottom you know from from management to coaching to the players to the way you know I’ve been treated and
Welcom to you know the standard step and Curry sets off and off on and off the floor that’s all uh been very much lines up with with kind of uh with with the impression that I had you know before taking the job so in a lot of ways I
Don’t think my my opinion necessarily changed right from from speaking from a basketball standpoint um the the before I got here you know the first half of the season was what it was you saw the ups and downs you saw the team play very well at stretches you had Draymond
Green’s suspension you saw the team trying to find its identity for a large part and now here they are kind of battling you know again like kind of like we just talked about battling now uh for the play and kind of strapping and and trying to figure out how far
This team can go so I think even from a basketball standpoint uh certainly they’ve been better they’ve played better but a lot of it has kind of lined up with with what I saw uh before the break uh or before I got here as well right you know trying to develop younger
Players while concurrently hanging on to uh the the elements that this veteran group provides and the experience that they provide so marrying those two groups has has certainly I think been a challenge at times for for Steve Kerr I think he’s um done a done a done a good
Job at at you know developing younger players but still um knowing when to defer to the veterans and letting them kind of lead the way and the veteran group has been I think very accepting of Jonathan Kanga Brandon pamy Trace Jackson Davis Moses Moody so on and so
Forth allowing them to contribute so l behold the the Warriors are in the position that they’re in and and my my impressions are very much lined up from what I you know kind of noticed on the outside before I got here as well any updates on kaminga and Klay Thompson we
Know Klay Thompson was battling through some tendonitis in his knee he did play on Sunday didn’t have his best game but they hit the killer three there to seal the deal and then of course uh JK missed the last three games what’s their updates here can we expect to see both
Of them tonight against the Dallas Mavericks yeah isy report has has Klay Thompson probable so I’d expect him to see him out IID expect to see him out there and then kaminga questionable as well well and you have to wonder right it’s just it’s been he was Kingo so
Durable through the the first I mean you know 85% of the Season played 70 of the first 71 games and you know he was out warming up uh pregame in San Antonio it looked pretty good he was was moving well was getting shots up and I think
With kaminga it’s just a case of day-to-day that’s you know what Steve cerr had said previously in Charlotte just kind of a day-to-day injury um that they’re monitoring so I’m not necessarily sure if he’s going to return a night but I don’t expect him to be out
Too long just kind of you don’t want to rush it back the team still has a relatively good Groove without him and I think any kind of run that they’re going to make in the postseason he’s going to you know be a crucial part of it you
Want him to be as close to 100% as possible before you know having him return to the lineup especially with the force that and physicality that he plays with I can’t put my finger on it but maybe you can what’s your best reasoning on why the Warriors are struggling at
Home versus on the road cuz last year they were horrible on the road and good at home if not great and this year it’s completely reversed I you know that’s a tremendous question I’ve tried to find that out myself and just talking to different players about it and trying to guard a
Perspective and and nobody um really seems to have an answer maybe there’s just you know more urgency on the road this year maybe it’s you know fewer distractions the teams you know together that’s that’s one thing that you know guys have said the opportunity to be a
Little you know to spend so much time together without uh without you know coming from so many different places uh at home and just kind of the comfort that comes with at home and uh you know just uh yeah it’s it’s really been bizarre that’s one thing I know that
Been a staple of the Warriors the last decade is how dominant they are at home on the road their last 16 you know 13 and three so it’s something that they’re going to have to get short up uh you’d like to see I think the Warriors
Establish a little a little bit of a run here at home and you know having opportunity against the Dallas Mavericks uh to do that in in a relatively big game there’s no better place to start but but it’s been bizarre I wish I could
Put my finger on it too I don’t I don’t have I really don’t have an answer for you it’s definitely been a kind of a polarizing flip with how theyve performed um at home compared for let’s go a little off topic then cuz you know Bonte fancies himself as someone who’s
Extremely knowledgeable about the most random things you said you went to the University of Minnesota yeah is Bud Grant the greatest Minnesota Golden golfer of all time is Bud Grant the M greatest Minnesota Golden goer of all drafted in the NBA drafted in the NBA played for
The Lakers and into the NFL why wouldn’t it be Bobby Jackson I I mean I don’t know a nine letter athlete coming out of Minnesota he played baseball too but Grant’s one of the greatest Minnesota I’m just asking I’m just ask him I think Dave Winfield’s up there too you know
3,000 hits 3,000 hits in the big leagues and he was a multiport athlete in Minnesota as well um he did a little bit of everything bug Grant’s on the short list that’s that’s he’s definitely on the short list but I’m gonna go with Dave Winfield what about Eric Decker Lawrence [ __ ] Barber the
Barbarian come on those are those are the guys I grew up watching Decker played deer played baseball for the goers too in addition to be a thousand yard receiver so he was a two- sport athlete there the [ __ ] Barber tandem I mean those guys were unbelievable I grew
Up going to games at the metrome seeing them play thousand yard I think they each had a thousand yards back to back you don’t see that with with running backs in the backfield teammates doing that so they were that was an incredible era for I’ve always want to go to
Minneapolis I heard it’s a very underrated City it’s a tell Sam the truth Sam I don’t know if you know this um and I’m I’m assuming you’re a viking fan Bonte huge KT cousins fan that’s a lie so no that hell no are you kidding me do I sound like a Kurt
Cousins guys Kurt Cousins no no you definitely don’t yeah see there you go the best thing that happened this offseason for the 49ers was Kurt Cousins signing with the Atlanta falcus so we no longer have to hear about the Kurt Cousins rumors no longer oh my gosh I
Feel sorry for you Sam you had to root for Kurt Cousins like the biggest takeway in the quarterback doc wasn’t Kurt Cousins taking America’s Hearts Away by being such a good guy who’s Patrick mahol being the dve gaker on the football field 110% and look it was it was time
For a clean break uh Kirt cousin solid six-year run uh but not a Fran not not the FR not a traditional franchise quarterback when you think of somebody that can have you compete for Super Bowls six years sample size of that good luck to the Atlanta Falcons in the next
Four years there you go hey welcome in Sam darnold have fun with that uh Sam from one Sam to another hey they’re going to we’ll see what they do in the draft I’m expecting them to draft a quarterback I don’t think Sam darell is a longterm answer
Just a stop Gap we’ll see how that goes all right I I can’t wait to talk some boxing with you you out there in Las Vegas man got some big fights coming up hany Garcia we had a big fight weekend uh last Saturday so Sam very nice debut
Here on the morning rolls get to get to know you and I I love you even more because you’re not a big Star Wars guy and like my friend over here my friend my friend across from me is ready to kill for the Star Wars so Sam have a
Good day I’ll see you later today Chason I’ll introduce myself all right appreciate appreciate you guys and we can talk to Sweet SI anytime time place you name it I’m there oh I love that I love that I love this guy said Gordon man I love this guy Golden Gophers [ __ ]
Definitely is on there but I was G Kevin male’s probably one of the more Micha Thompson what Michael Thompson’s number one pick out of Minnesota yeah he was in Minnesota Golden I know that Bud Grant cuz he was drafted in the big uh into the two big Sports at the time and I
Know he played for the Lakers for a couple of years and he was also a legendary coach their gym is very uh unique they call it the barn and it’s like the old Chicago Stadium where you come from downstairs up to the court up the stairs you know how they have the
Elevated courts in the men’s final four kind of like it’s like that in Minnesota the old barn is what they call it now they have the outdoor stadium out there in Minnesota after leaving a Metro Dome Joe Ma you said sleeping on St Paul Minnesota Zone Joe ma justu into the Pro
Baseball Hall of f c football player in high school yeah Twin Cities is fascinating cuz Minneapolis St Paul right there obviously the 10,000 lakes but you got the bridge and so the Minnesota Wild hockey team they play in St Paul the t- wolves and Twins and of course the Vikings they play in
Minneapolis just some knowledge on Minnesota I only I didn’t know for the longest time what the TC meant as a kid and then it was Twin Cities I was like oh it all made sense there go we actually our layover when we flew out to Philadelphia was in Minnesota and it was
We got off the flight and it was what neg five say 5 degrees or something like that what whatever they said it was it was colder yeah and I remember taking a photo of the Minnesota go to golfer football stadium as we’re in there it
Was covered in snow I was like wow look how cool that looks anyway um ah we got JJ we got uh 18 minutes left I’m not sure the direction of the show right now I’m really not let’s go to JJ San Jose I’m sure Matt hean will clip that for
Our Wednesday meeting oh you guys don’t have a plan uh JJ San Jose what’s happening what’s happening man guys thanks taking my call hell of a show today you know I’m kind of you know you guys are you guys are wondering why fans haven’t been so excited these past
Couple games and you guys kind of hit it on the nails because it’s because of the inconsistencies and because we can’t beat the good teams if if we lose tonight it I think it’ll be like a nail in the coffin for many of us which is
Why I’m hoping tonight can can we can kind of get I’m hoping to get a throwback 20 17 2018 Kyrie uh Kyrie Curry game and I know Bonte knows what I’m talking about Curry draw 49 and this with this with B Boston Kyrie his first year in Boston that was a Legendary game
I was there night game y yep I’m hoping I’m hoping tonight can kind of turn out to be a game like that because I feel like that’s the only way to get the fan base back on the hype and to try to make a r a run for the
Playoffs it’s good call um is it the nil and the coffin for the Warriors I won’t say it’s the nil and the coffin but I think a lot of Warrior fans will call in tomorrow saying see told you so they just can’t beat good teams this team’s
Just not that good they are who the record says they are it’s a big game for the dubs just to get one at home and you ask Sam the question about the home record nobody knows I could try to he said it was a tremendous question he said it was yeah tremendous question
Just want to make sure we clarify tremendous the greatest question I think Sam understood a lot of questions I s I’ve seen a lot of them this one is a tremendous question I don’t know why it’s the Cadence I I don’t know why you guys quote that guy it’s hilarious uh
But Gordon felt like you needed to pick me up after he ripped Star Wars so I think he was I’m kidding I well the way I look at it is either like you know you’ve had an epiphany or you haven’t and that’s okay it’s not serious let’s
Not let’s not some people like chocolate some people like vanilla some people like them both I think everybody likes them both I I know I don’t know how many people don’t like chocolate or vanilla anyway um the home big on chocolate the home record thing uh one of it
Is you know you’ve missed Draymond Green for a lot of these games think about the first home stand then you think about the second home stand in which they struggled those big home stands where they had a six to seven game home stand you didn’t have Draymond Green a couple
Times you didn’t have Stephen Curry couple few games where you didn’t have Chris Paul hell Chris Paul missed a lot of time there so the home record I’m just trying to figure out why they haven’t won at home this is very very strange but like even when you know
They’ve been at full strength they haven’t played good basketball played great basketball know they and and so like there there has been something to I believe like they’re more focused on the road like I don’t even know why that is but it just my eyeballs are telling me
They play a more buttoned up brand of basketball B I would love to see the data turnovers just turnovers in in general I feel like at home they’re just so careless with the ball and they they draw these huge deficits and they have to come from behind and it and then it
Becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy where oh the Stadium’s not loud yeah they’re down 15 in the first half and there’s not a lot to cheer for well Echo Pest Control I understand that you’re like trying to clear out ratch or something but maybe the rats got into your brain
And started chewing away at your brain but what we’re talking about here is the home record this season last season the warriors were 30 And1 33 and 8 at home I believe was it 33 and 8 could have been 30 311 whatever they were really good at home home last
Season what we’re talking about is the struggles this season at home at home they have not been good is it cuz they’re playing more young guys it’s been a combination of a number of things consistent play turnovers bad shots defense but also look we we’ve touched on this early in the
Season when they go into games the other team is more athletic just by the nature of the starters but why does size but but a lot but a lot of road games too your athleticism is your athleticism watch that but look at a lot of the road games that they’ve won like
They won and I’m not trying to I’m not trying to take away from their WIS but these are the truths the truth is when they played the New York knck in Madison Square Garden they’re missing a lot of guys a lot of guys you played Charlotte
We saw what that looked like we saw San Antonio a couple times we saw what that looked like I don’t know why it’s TR it’s very strange very strange I feel like there’s been moments where I’m like oh well this team’s not playing this guy
They should win this game at home and it doesn’t correlate how many good teams have they been on a how many good teams have they been on a Road’s think about it OKC okay they beat him in overtime in the IST opener that was a good win that
Friday night that was a great win a great win looking back that was so much fun they didn’t beat the Clippers in La beat the Lakers in La they beat Lakers ad got hurt exactly changed the game right there’s all these little I’m not trying to take away these are warriors
But but let’s just go down the list and I can think about all the games they played on the road um Minnesota they didn’t win in Minnesota no um the Clippers they didn’t beat the Clippers in La yeah I don’t but I don’t think high but they get to beat Dallas and
They’re going to get another crack at Dallas coming up uh New Orleans they got blown out at home by New Orleans they got a rocket win they got a rocket win early the season in Houston uh Steph Curry went night are they good team I mean they’re the 11 seed I don’t think
So well did okay what you just said there is very profound because they’re right on the heels with the Warriors right well then you got Boston they got blown out Boston yeah Philadelphia Miami’s a good team but they were sitting Jimmy Butler and um what’s his
Face Tyler hero yes and Kevin Love um so I mean I I don’t know it’s just been it’s been a weird year but maybe they could put it together over the last eight games and I’m eager to see that hopefully it doesn’t end like Star Wars
Cuz by the way you guys make it sound like Star Wars the ending is not good well it’s still very you know popular yeah that’s that’s fine we don’t have enough time for that rabbit ho but like again the reason that popular awesome Star Wars has uh an unbelievable DieHard
Fan base and there’s a portion of the of the fan base Kurt cous is is popular a want a damn thing go ahead sorry well no there’s just a portion of the fan base that like anything that’s not the originals there’s zero tolerance for and
I do believe not all not all but there’s a segment of Warrior fans like anything that’s not us you know starting the season in the Western Conference Finals is intolerable and I don’t I don’t think it’s everyone but I I do think it’s a large chunk and the other aspect which
I’d like to explore down the road I’m not ready to explore it today Steph Curry is so good and so unique he has a Michael Jordan like quality where there are a ton of people who are Warrior fans because of Steph Curry and really they’re Steph Curry
Fans and as a byproduct they’re Warrior fans not not all I’m just saying they’re he’s so good he’s so lovable he’s so Dynamic and I see a lot of guys our age that were Bulls fans because of Jordan and they jumped off the Bulls you know
Right away my guy Victor though is still a bulls fan though I will say Victor still a couple guys still Bulls fans there’s CLE guys still Laker fans the real die Hearts will will will continue to be Warrior fans but I I don’t know how do you engage that when
It comes to Phantom this is my this is my struggle this is my struggle like I don’t know who’s a bandwagon fan I don’t know who’s a like NBA gives us these stand and everybody and everybody fans differently like I’m your typical fan right I’m more of a cynic I’m going to
Be I’m going to try to be objective I’m going to be a little pessimistic at times but I’m going to watch a game at home if I can like I’m a different fan than you are the majority of fans don’t go to games there you go there are like
A small fraction of of of whatever your fan base is only a small fraction actually goes to games either because they can financially or because they have the time energy and the and the want to go do it so like whatever is in the stadium they are very very very
Loyal don’t get me wrong but what I’m saying is is that that’s only a small fraction of whatever your total fan base is in any sport for every te I don’t even know how I don’t even know how like every fan is different every fan has
Their own motive on what makes them tick or what makes them excited like I was a fan for many gears that wouldn’t even wear the team gear and people will question my fan oh you’re not wearing the gear I’m like I just don’t wear the
Gear just dear U the teams that we root for like if I’m not if I go a couple weeks without wearing a n or if I’m at a oh you’re not wor who cares I know who I root for why does it matter to you I
Think we I don’t know the Phantom think is it gets strange man it’s a little strange it’s just the way we fan and the way of other fans is I just like you know what I’m saying but you can you have to admit to some level like because
Of how popular Steph Curry is and how he’s just very different he’s just he’s in a total unique Stratosphere and and because of the sport he plays there are a lot of Steph fans who watch The Warriors and so a lot of warrior commentary from afar it’s more Steph
Curry commentary as opposed to Warrior fandom commentary well we had our boy from France uh what was his name anonin anonin Anton Anin was it anonin yeah anonin over there France I don’t see him tweet much does he still tweet I don’t I don’t or ex I I haven’t seen him tweet
Much that be the algorithms were all jacked up now but uh he’s a war he’s a Steph fan started watching St and became a warrior fan all the way from paye Paris RS case uh took payri from Kanye when he was on Punk go to that’s a great
Example got go to pay I’m glad you bring him up like that’s a great example I don’t know like maybe he’ll continue to be a warrior fan moving forward maybe he won’t maybe he won’t I don’t know I don’t know what makes that’s a good point though I don’t know about today’s
Phandom I just I kind of just worry about like when when people say like we were having a conversation a couple months ago you know when people go to other games and wear their team’s Jersey it’s a way to represent their team although their team is not playing in
That game see I have no issue with that you talked about that I don’t get it I don’t get it everybody fans differently you know what I’m saying like when I when I go to another team like I went to the Phoenix Suns Nuggets game uh in
Phoenix I didn’t wear I didn’t wear a warrior Jersey I just wore you know a polo shirt or whatever I probably would have wear A Warrior’s hat just be like hey I’m watching you guys but this who I root for just know I’m a warrior fan
Just to let them know like when I went to Raider games I always wore a Niner hoodie or a Niner hat just like hey I’m here to enjoy football cuz I love the sport of football but I’m a Niner so I’m going to wear my Niner hat but I don’t
Know everybody’s different like Mahomes has reached that Stratosphere where I believe there are Mahomes fans and then there are Chiefs fans like Whitley is a Chief’s fan and has been a Chiefs fan for her entire life and clearly is in love with with with Patrick Mahomes the
Player right about how many Patriot fans are Patriot fans because of Tom Brady well I’ve got a nephew I got a nephew directly correlated and I’m like how how your Patriots doing right now so it happens in every sport it happens in every sport like sh otat there’s more sh
Otat fans I just want to go see him hit go follow him from Team to te I just want to go see him play he’s a big fan of my like Julio Rodriguez Rd Jr can’t get enough of those guys cannot get enough Bobby Whit Jr why is the only
Reason why we’re watching Kid City Royal games because we want to see Bobby Whit Jr hit I don’t think it’s is a bad thing I’m just saying I I no I don’t either but there stand it’s not just it’s just not you know uh Steph’s just the one I’m
Highlighting basketball yeah but you know cuz basketball but no I see this a lot with the NBA say the NBA is the only sport that has player stand what we do that in every sport here every sport there’s player stands there’s people who will jump from Team to team to team to
Team to team there may be a chief chief fan today 10 years later they may be a Buffalo Bill fan well when I like for example with baseball I’ll just give you you know the kids kids have Shi jerseys aunia J jerseys the T-shirt jersey aunia
Um mooki bets Shi with the angels and Bryce Harper those are the four guys that I see more than any other and that doesn’t mean they don’t wear a Nationals hat they’ll just wear the shery and so like you know I think about the ogs right there’s a lot of OG Pittsburgh
Steeler fan and a lot of OG Miami Dolphin hell yeah there are dominated the 70s they’re always on TV and so they’re still even though they may be from Oakland California or maybe not Oakland California because I know they’re Raider fans and they hated Steelers but maybe they’re from LA or
Some I don’t know but there’s Pittsburgh Steelers all over the country because of what they did in the 70s and they said you know what I’m just going to stick with that team but I think the way we consume Sports in in the’ 70s is not
Parallel to what we do now because of the fan dueling and because of the fantasy no I understand that it’s just it’s it’s it’s like it’s I understand that but F they stay with that team even though they watch it now it may be different now if they did consume TV the
Way we do today if they consumed it the same way in the 70s but they didn’t and they stuck like you know 51 right here expend mobile texl hey you’re talking to a dam Marino fan who’s been stuck with the dolphins for Years love danam Marino
Boom he stuck with the dolphins go like I got I got my boy zuar Latif he jumped from he jumps from Team to team because of players grow up a dolphins because of D burrito said he left he he became a t fan and was like I’m just gonna follow
To everywhere so I’ll be a Bill’s fan with T’s there I’ll be a Cowboy fan with t there so so what is he now who knows I I know I don’t zubar jumps from Team to team he said hops maybe he maybe be a Patrick mahes fan who the hell knows be
If you’re out there listening U be text me who does Zu bear roof for right now I have one friend in my like in my my friend Circle who does that that’s interesting and maybe we’re too old I don’t I don’t have a friend I mean I got
A lot of friends I mean you probably have a friend somewhere right that does that yeah that that jumps around teams I got a lot of friends no like I got like my buddy Kyle Walsh he’s been a Raider fan his whole life him and his dad
Raider fans their whole lives and he’s like the one Raider fan in our crew everyone else Niners Giants Warriors yeah I mean like our crews my short small circle of crew fans stick with their teams and whoever they I’m saying but you know a lot of friends you know
Being broader here a lot of people that we grew up with I know people who’ve jumped from Team to team like a you rooting for them now oh you rooting for that now well how would it be different like War y he for example War y he follows LeBron everywhere follows LeBron
Everywhere yeah I find that odd you know that’s just phandom phandom is an odd thing right well I always ask myself like what if there was let’s say in football if there was no ners how how would I have picked a team would have been the the closest one would was that
Who my family would have been rooting for for if there was no baseball team who would I have rooted for you know like I I think about that at times well it’s like fandom like we’re talking about Star Wars fans I don’t get star war fans I don’t get the hype I’m not
Ripping Star Wars I know I was laughing at the analogy we’re just having fun here trying to lighten the mood up it’s a very toxic Community by the way I’m learning that toxic every time I dip my toes any time I dip my toes at the Star
Wars trilogies or say like I don’t I don’t get it they come at I swear to God they come at me in the DMS they they want like a like a 10-year-old kid who played Anakin they didn’t like how he acted sent him letters to his family and
Stuff but see when we talk about fandom in certain movies like we always don’t like same movies people lose their minds lose their minds you know so anyway Fast [Laughter] Five my final thought is I don’t think you’re less of a person if you love Star Wars H I was just waiting for the plan to L we were waiting for like 8 minutes I like where’s this going you were the chosen instead of Play No I’m going pull a Shashi here shashi’s ready to choke me out here no that’s Darth Vader um that’s a
Tremendous question if we’re gonna go Star Wars now my final thought is I truly believe in my heart of hearts the greatest two minutes in all of the Star Wars Enterprise of all the things they’ve done cartoons movies whatever it’s the final two minutes of Rogue one where Darth Vader shows all of
His full Powers I’m telling you it’s the best two minutes in All Star Wars I’m not being a bully man why can’t I why you guys could see I hate being in this position cuz whenever I joke with you guys I’m the bully but you guys joke
With me and it’s like yeah get him it’s so see we’re defin I’m like I’m like Duke University Duke Blue I feel like a Duke Blue Devil with some it’s okay that you don’t like Star Wars none of us just I I don’t not like it I just don’t it’s
Not your thing that’s all right no one’s missing out but you and and many others I love how you and steiny are much more closely aligned than you wanted it no you’re more like me than you think I knew you he is and he doesn’t get that he doesn’t get that
This is why I’m starting to grow to respect sty a lot more what his takes he has been on fire he is having a hell of a year somebody’s going to keep you fans in check stetin and Bonte podcast coming that would be a very boring show near
You that’ be a very boring show go ahead guys I’m gonna need Steph Curry to do tonight to the Mavericks what Darth Vader did to those rebels in that hallway scene at the end of Rogue one and then uh Draymond avoid the darkness stay with the light do not let the hate
Flow through you remember a good player lets the force flow through him is he a gray jet die in this uh Universe he’s a Bounty Hunter Bounty Hunter Draymond he is a bounty hunter great call out of here great call my man’s hanging out in sarlac pits that’s it sarlac pits
Draymond’s the king of the Cantina uh when Luke hits that that little Boomerang off of the you know um diving board that badass scene that’s it that’s it how fast five that’s a tremendous question brought to you by wait Star Wars or Xfinity Xfinity uh at home or huno you’ll get the fastest
Internet to all of your devices wish it was Star Wars that Star Wars money is different it is yeah you guys are suckers for you give keep giving them all that money dressing up in those crazy ass costumes man well I mean you pay for Disney right I do yeah yeah I do
For my daughter I enjoy some of the stuff on there as well X-Men 97 very good don’t remember that one well it’s re-released it’s new have a good day everybody sty go next Warriors and Mavericks it’s Warriors game day Dy you’re more like me than you think you are I’m a might call Very Yeah N [Applause] n [Applause] [Applause] N [Applause] He’s truly one of a kind that is wow oh my God and he’s doing a great job I need you to man up and say what you really want to say s you’re doing a great job and together there steiny and Guru on 957 the game morning
Everybody Matt Stein met Daryl the guru Johnson with you 957 the game yes sir what’s going on man uh just fired up why I had an experience last night with the women’s basketball college game it was incredible we’ll talk about no it was Inc it was incredible the world watched
And I watched it with Nan the boss I watched it with Millions look at your eyes not in person on X that’s when X is beautiful last night sty the world was watching and I watched eight straight hours of just awesome basketball in the women’s uh college game and now I can’t
Wait to Friday I really mean that I can’t what you’re smiling you believe me four hours of basketball well you know eight eight quarters yeah that’s what I said that it was a lot of fun I watched both games with my buddies and uh then I went home and watched it with
My daughter yeah you were active on the vine I was yeah we oh for you what’ I say just you are watching that the women’s game’s overtaking the men’s game in real time well I I don’t know what to do with that well who’s to blame but I
Mean I enjoyed those games last night oh my God a lot and I’m trying to figure out why now damn and there’s something about the four women who played that are the best players on each of their teams okay like it’s just it’s they’re more it’s just more fun watching Beckers
And Watkins because they stick out because they’re so good from all the other players I feel like the men’s game yeah there’s some great players but you can watch a game and one somebody will be better than the other I don’t know I just uh I I love well the man is missing
That right and it’s nobody’s fault well I’m even compar like I’m I’m comparing it to the Pro game even yeah um it just feels like i’ I’ve always I don’t want to put this I guess I should have come in scripted today no no we don’t come on
Now uh the the the best basketball games I’ve ever watched is when there’s a player on the floor that’s better than everybody else so you know Steph was like that at times during his career um you I loved watching I saw Billy Owens play in high school sam bu and they were
Just they were dominant and that’s kind of the way that the women last night like Juju Watkins she they were calling her Carmelo I think she’s a I think like they were calling her Melo she might be the best of the four she’s incredible she’s freshman yeah but Caitlyn Clark
Steiny I what if I told you in Evan it’s pedon I don’t want to I feel like this is a slight but it’s the ultimate biggest compliment in the world I felt like I was watching Prime Steph Curry last night she was shooting from the logo a couple bad ones is that what
Reminded you stop Chef we got two chefs in the kitchen but stany she’s awesome and I can’t wait to watch uh again but I will say something cuz Evan pointed it out I don’t want to throw him under the no bus but there is no bus the game
Changed when we saw Angel ree go under the basket and roll the ankle she she bowled out Isaiah Thomas she toughed it out but at the end of the day stany you could tell she was getting offensive boards rebound she couldn’t explode but that still does not take uh LSU’s coach
Off the hook for not trying to get the ball out of Caitlyn Clark’s hands coming down M’s Road I guess national champion uh goo you coaching yes I am oh and you’ve been watching and you’ve been watching them play that uh two three that two3 zone in that matchup Zone all
Year you wonder why they went away from it huh but this is special when you got a player that’s open at half court like Caitlyn was just the thought I had like man you got to get that ball out of her hands Donnie the thought I had was to me
I’m fascinated with how Seasons come to an end well we’re and we’ll be talking about the Warriors in a moment go dude to me and I said this to Evan and I I just want to know if if you thought this too just watching that game and I get it
I we’re not watching these teams all year but I followed LSU a little bit they’ve had some issues this year Angel ree was suspended for four games we still don’t even know why she was suspended mky never said why she was suspended for four games but anyway uh I
Watched that game and you know what I thought one team’s together and one team is fracturing and you know I said this to I said this to Evan you know Moi the last week made this all about herself whether it was the threatened lawsuit with the Washington post about an article that
Never come out yet which was turned out to be pretty harmless and then she got an apology from the LA Times writer yeah and he should have it was he was he was out of line but what I’m getting at is like Maly I just think they were they just
Weren’t together LSU they just had too much happen to them all year they were a little out of syn late and Iowa was a team that’s been together a little longer and but ear they were playing of course they’re going to play I’m not saying they’re going to not show up but
The end of that game it came apart a little bit when when the big time adversity hit no doubt about it but I mean the world was watching we’ll get the numbers I got to believe that was the the biggest night ever in women’s college hoop and I hadn’t forgot about
The Lisa Lesley’s and all the great women you know players before but last night you just talked about it four special players and the world was watching man I’m just I’m on the high off of that and I watch Yukon uh Gino see so it’s
Home as they say in the streets it’s own steiny what do you think about the Warrior game tonight they play Dallas all right here here at Chase Center yesterday I disappo are you I disappointed you yesterday but I was oh boy yeah I thought about it another time
We’ll talk about the second part later but let’s get to the first part I and Bon kind of echoed my sentiments as he got got up out of here steiny it’s it’s becoming clear that this could be the last eight games of The Big Three uh
Nine if they get into the play and don’t win it so I’m overcome with emotion from that vantage point I I want to see if if if this road trip is really you know where they beat kind of some Pretenders and I want to just see them win a game
At home because they’ve been struggling at home and I want them to to take it to Luca and Kyrie tonight and and what if they do what if they do again I’ll feel a whole hell of a lot better about their chances moving forward when that night
Comes whoever they play either at home or on the road in that playing game and but if Jonathan kaminga is out another game then that’s me worrying you know before or regardless of what happens on the court you know tonight if he’s not there so I
Got a lot going on in my melon and I’ll leave you with this I thought about Klay Thompson’s future and and I mean this to the core I don’t think the Warriors are in any position to say bye-bye to Klay Thompson with his specialty is shooting the league is about shooting and this
Team sty I’m going Mark Jackson doesn’t have any Shooters so how in the hell can you not do your damn this Joe Lup and Company to keep him a Golden State Warrior well as well as he’s shooting it he’s having the worst shooting year of his career so you have to think about
Two years down the line and what he might shoot from three um he’s shooting 38% right now um he’s definitely still a threat but you know if if if you’re telling me they can’t afford to lose clay and I’m not saying I disagree with you I’m hearing you I’m listening well
Then then we’re running it back aren’t we now for the most part I I think you might be on to something because Tim kakami of the athletic was on with the uh afternoon show here’s what he said about Draymond Green I hear this from the warrior stakeholders as I wrote not just the
Last few days but over the last few weeks last few months even last few years is that he’s worth it like you know they make that decision every time and at some point he probably won’t be worth it and that might be in a year it
Might be in two years if there’s some great trade-off reform might be this offseason but I don’t think that’s coming and a game like last night is why they make these decisions I’ll tell the honest truth is I was going to write a column on Draymond is very similar to
The one it turned out even before that game happened just presuming he was going to have a really good game because that’s the way it goes with Draymond some something controversial happens something that pushes the you know the Warriors and the fans and the nation to
Wonder is this guy should he still be around and usually pulls out a great game or two or three or five well if they’re not moving Draymond and you need clay then you’re essentially going to try to move Wiggins does that is that going to be enough I guess what I’m saying for
Warrior fans is is and I just kind of throwing this out I’m going to throw a bunch of stuff out there today because um there’s a lot going on and one is the the idea of the Warriors having big changes if things don’t end well do do Warrior fan are are War are
Warrior fans ready for big changes I was talking to a buddy tonight or yesterday rather and he’s like I’m just not ready for this to end yet I’m just not ready for it to end feel that all right so I don’t and and obviously he was talking about this season
But my question is kind of where are the Warrior fans at is it as simple as listen they make a run they get into the playoffs maybe win a series you know what maybe we do run it back is that like is that now Fe is that a possibility if the
Warriors somehow get into the playoffs and even if they lose let’s say in the first round but they they take it to six games will that be enough to Stave off changes like is there a result that the Warriors can have this year where we look at this team and say you
Know what you know what god let’s bring it back one more time you know Wiggins played pretty well down the stretch and and Draymond had a good last 12 games and the young guys are growing Steph still playing at a high level let’s get clay back here I
Guess what I’m wondering is are are fans more excited about that idea or the idea of at the end of the season season clay becomes a question mark and we’re going to try to move somebody to make this team better like I like what what do you want to see goo I addition
The plus button on the calculator I you know and everything you want you can’t have and I know there’s Financial restraints but I don’t want to see Klay Thompson in another uniform Tim kakami is a icon out here sty but I want I’m I’m being real here so because he said
He talked to the stakeholders are you taking that to the bank 100 where okay absolutely not so to me then you know big could be you know Draymond kaminga package you know I’m just throwing stuff out there that’s what qualifies to me as big but if and I’ve always thought this was a
Possibility kind of running it back with no suspensions where are you at then you know I’m okay with that I’m not I mean I’m not and and I I’m interested and you you’ve brought this up a lot and I I don’t dismiss it at all and it’s the
Idea of well if Draymond wouldn’t have got suspended that’s go ahead man okay where would they be instead of 40 and 32 could would you guys laugh me off the block if I said six that’s too many for me is that too many for you Evan six
Seed or six seed or Oh I thought you me six games no no six seed if maybe Draymond had not got suspended and only missed three games of of the the amount that he missed potentially but then also you might not have had the emergence of kaminga who’s a big reason you’re
Playing good basketball so yeah I mean I think they’re probably in this position one way or the other because if the older guys stay healthy maybe Kerr is still hanging on to him but here here’s a bigger question if are you as can you go into next year
Assuming that Draymond Green is going to have a year like he hasn’t had in the past too well last year he games right but he punched the teammate and he messed up the season I think and this year he got suspended for 25 games like
That’s where I I think if I’m and I’m I don’t know I’m not a warrior fan but to me that idea of let’s bring Dre back and and count on him to play 68 to 72 games at a high level with no incidents like can you re can you how
Excited her fans about that is or how realistic in other words if I told the fan you know what we’re going to you know we we probably won’t get a great deal for Draymond anyway he’s still very important to us we’re bringing him back you know he’s going to be on the team
Next year and and by golly let’s hope we can get 70 games out of him and and high level of play do you go into the season with that being your expectation that’s risky to me well I’m a lover and a dreamer and I’ll say this to that
We don’t know what the ramifications were for Draymond Green and what happened last week in Orlando but what if I told you Stan that hurt him to the point of or or that woke him up to where next year that won’t happen you could call me a fool or being denial but the
Reality is that’s the way you feel that’s the way you feel I’m wondering how other Warrior fans put right on the table brought to you by Atco If This Were a poker game I don’t like the hand I have if I’m Joe Lake up you know what I mean that’s like
You don’t get to have a great hand at the end of a dynasty like that’s there are going to be brutal decisions to be made that there’s no doubt that’s why let’s just talk about what you just said the end of a dynasty if you went around
People aren’t even ready to say that right now but what if they’re feeling it and maybe that’s why the mood is melancholy like you talked about yesterday like you know I hated series that I you know I used to watch Alice and one day at a time and every time had
That that finale to where was the show was over your boy was sad steiny and I feel like there’s some of that with the Warriors now if Klay comes back and is still the big three okay maybe they’re done winning titles but I still get to
Watch them aspire to try to get back would you and you know as crazy as that sounds so you would almost you be you’d be willing to give up success like winning a title for these guys to play two or three more years together I well
No let me let me let me hit it in reverse I’d be willing to give up my prize young asset after Steph Curry which is Jonathan kaminga to try to get me an immediate seasoned veteran that maybe could enhance our chances right away to get us back to the promised land
And no shade at Jonathan kaminga but I’m willing to mortgage his future with us for what we have left of not just Steph of the big three cuz every day I wake up St I’m like what are they really what you just talked about what constitutes a big
Change you got to move a Draymond or Jonathan kaminga or Andrew Wiggins you just have to a big move to me is pretty easy it’s tra it’s moving D it’s losing either Draymond Klay Thompson Wiggins or Kingo well okay that’s a I think no I
Think if you make if you move any one of those four that would constitute as a big change because two of them are champ three of them are champions and one of them is your best young player um this from the 510 and this is interesting even if the
Warriors win the title I want changes damn CP3 would be 40 wigan’s still inconsistent if they win the title cash in the chips while the value is high all right well let’s not go that far let’s let’s not Chris Paul might get a four-year deal if they win a
Championship man he’s got to be a starter he’s a starter in our league right no I don’t think you don’t think so no I don’t I wonder does he think so I don’t think he’s had as great a year as people think I think he’s been fine I
Think he’s been okay I don’t think he’s been great but I don’t think anybody’s been great I was just following up who’s had the best year for the Warriors Jonathan kaminga all right Evan you think that Jonathan kaminga has had the best year I’m trying to who would he
Even be up against he would be up against Curry yeah Steph obviously I feel like that don’t count but yeah that’s a given it’s probably one of the young guys just from the progression stand if Trace Jackson Davis starts the last eight games of this season and you
Get looks like a piece maybe let’s go to uh let’s go to filmo Mike Start us off filmo Mike filmo where you at man what’s going on hey man I’m on I’m on the Bay Bridge man going back going to the town real quick but we need to stop focusing on
The big three cuz first of all let me get this straight we not we don’t have a big no more we got a big one and a half a big one and a medium medium wow wow feel me no seriously our big and then and then also on top of this our big
Three was never really like a big three it just happened to happen you got Draymond Green a 65 power forward center with long ass arms and that could run the point you got Steph Curry one of the most greatest under six under 63 64 and you had Klay
We never had like the big three wheels like James Worthy madis Johnson Michael you feel me like you we got to remember that that’s very key also let stop worrying about the big three that’s the problem that’s how we got in this trouble in the first place we keep
Warriors team why do we keep worrying about the big three who we trying to keep the better who we trying to keep together Mike so you’re Mike let me ask you this so it sounds like and I’m just picking clay out cuz it could be anybody
But if Klay Thompson does not return as a warrior are you like oh we had good times shout out JJ Evans and now it’s about the future or would you be like I don’t want to lose clay cuz that’s where I’m at for a team that has no shooters outside of
Step well when you when you like when you thinking like Joe ler you’re the goal should always be about the future and not now I’m pretty sure Joe Lake go is about the future and not not this season probably already way this season he’s probably like you know what we’ll
See what it do on the other side but you got to remember steiny brought this up don’t be don’t be scared to see when Steph coming off the bench I’m telling you it could be a great thing but the Warriors have to figure it out going
Forward our big three is not as big as we wanted to believe and we think it is we had some great years awesome years the greatest years of my life but it’s it may be time to move on it may be appreciate it Mike have a good day buddy yeah
I like Chris Paul not coming back was always a given for me right when he came with the money and you talk about the second apron and all that other technical stuff so that doesn’t constitute you didn’t mention that as a big change but one of the big three not
Here and like you ran it down with Wiggins but sty the big change to me is I’m just throwing Paul George’s name out somebody that’s been in the league like a guy like that a Bradley Bill or a Kevin Durant where you know somehow you can make it happen to where Jonathan
Kaminga his future is so damn bright that you you said you know what we got to sacrifice this to get something to add some longevity to the to Steph Curry and Draymond and the Warriors trying to get number five I’m not doing that just I mean obviously but kaminga is
Untouchable in your eyes I wouldn’t say Untouchable but I am not in theory you know you want to throw 10 deals at me maybe one I’ll say huh that’s interesting but here’s what I’m not doing I’m not moving Jonathan kaminga for this for for again a a a try
At a Grand Slam in the bottom of the ninth inning of this dream that somehow next year we could be a title team how how I like that’s I I and I don’t know where Warrior fans are with that but I’m not moving Jonathan kaminga for a guy like that for like
Bradley Beal no chance absolutely positively no CH that sounds ludicrous I I hear that Bradley Beal but but you know are you really going to be able to get LeBron James with for Ju Just Jonathan kaminga and here’s the other problem with oh you’re going to have to
Add a lot of stuff to that well here’s what I’m not I’m not you Steph’s 36 years old you’re going to trade Jonathan kaminga and two future first for what a shot in one shot one year one shot shot it one year I I don’t well then
What reality no but that like I don’t think that doesn’t sound like Joe lob to me forget about what I think of it well what do you think he meant then and I know this 100 time I’ve asked you what did he mean by caught up in the moment
I’m breaking up the big three if we can’t win if we lose in the play in all bets are off that’s what I that’s what I think he’s saying and of all the deals that come out or you know if if they can’t get out of the playin then I think
All bets are off then they have a decision to make with Clay then to me they’ll talk about what they can do if anything with Draymond Green and yeah at that point they’ll probably have a conversation about whether do we really want to move our 21y old for a 33y old
Who yeah when Steph might only have two or three years left like that doesn’t sound like lob to me I I think Lake I’m not saying lob’s excited to move off the big three but I don’t think big changes scare Joe lob like some of the fans I I
Think I I think if I think Joe lob will have every right if this team cannot get out of the play in to say hey I’m doing I’m doing whatever I want this off season we have no allegiances to anybody anymore because we didn’t even make the
Playoffs and like if he has that juice then I think all bets this is what’s bothering me stany I hear you I’ve never envisioned a season a scenario to where Steph Curry would be playing basketball for the Warriors and they really weren’t uh uh you know a threat to win it and
That’s what I feel like that we’re about to embark on and that is weird I think it’s healthy just for a fan base that is used to you know and I’m not I I’m not putting this at anybody’s doorstep but this could be the first chapter of you
Run it back well let me the Warriors yeah they can make they like that’s I don’t know if he wants to sign up for that well what’s he going to sign up for I mean like no I hear what you’re saying if if if Steph Curry is such is this if
Steph Curry is a bigger priority than the Golden State Warriors I think that that’s a big problem in and of itself 888- 957 9570 is the number also I want to talk about the Dallas Mavericks who are in town tonight uh who play the Golden State Warriors um you know goo
You said yesterday uh the road trip was nice but you want to see him beat a good team well tonight a good team’s coming into Chase Center uh how does it feel if you’re a warrior fan uh in terms of if you get tonight do you start to believe
Again uh that segment was presented by Xfinity at home or on the go you’ll get the fastest internet to all your devices 888 957 9570 ready to upgrade your savings here’s your Chance A N [Applause] n Yeah N it’s the lunch special yeah with Big D at the hospital what are we having today for lunch Big D give me some salami baby now back to steiny and Guru on 957 the game one thing I was thinking as it relates to the Warriors and I kind of want to do this
Although some people fix your camera some Al I got you although some people may not want to but shouldn’t we just assume that the Warriors aren’t going to make a run there’s never been a team from nine or 10 go anywhere there’s never been a nine or 10 seed that’s made
Any noise even last year everybody cites the Lakers and the heat yeah they were both seven they were both seven like guarantees them guaranteed them two straight home games if they can’t get it done in one Miami Heat lost to the Hawks in the playin at home but then they got
Another home game and they won and then they made the playoffs and then they beat the Bucks who were a one seed I I’m not mad at there’s no 10 seed that’s ever made a run they just don’t and maybe that’s why you’re not feeling what you thought might be out in the
Neighborhood maybe maybe that’s it I is that it is that it that the reality setting in that a 10 seed it’s just too much work and the Warriors I I got people I am positive Pete but I’m being real too sty there’re they haven’t won a
Game ever in the play in they’re on Two And do you I’m just Steph is St does that matter just they have they’re all in two two games yeah two games they had and they didn’t win two years ago I asked question because we’re going to get into
The Dallas Mavericks and I think LCA could be MVP I really tell them because I’m about to do this is hot water in your fa cold water hot one of you guys I just got Guru he says hey uh do you think you think a warrior fan would you
Think they’d want to SW switch places with the Dallas Maverick yes then we I went over EV every team in the West like outside of the Clippers last time I checked Alis didn’t have four championships yeah it me future though yeah future I’m good oh for the future
For the future have donic of course was what happened to Guru during the break was he just went down the teams in the west and said would you rather be the Warriors or Oklahoma City everybody younger Evan well there’s a couple teams in front of the Warriors I
Wouldn’t rather be I wouldn’t rather be the Suns I wouldn’t I don’t know if I’d rather be the Lakers they’re kind of in the same place to me would you rather be the Spurs with Victor wanyama I would see that’s too far I would I don’t know
Well the Warriors can rebuild by the time he’s ready to really I mean he’s going to be the Hall of Famer but he need they need other pieces how are they going to rebuild but I wouldn’t rather be Sacramento no I’m with you there me neither but no what I’m saying is what
What are you laughing at if you guys are going to tell jokes back there and laugh and we can see you laughing we’re laughing that we were all in unison of not wanting to be Kings wow they’ll let the DLo K KC hear that man yeah I don’t
Want to be the Kings yeah at all but I got to say something to Evan about Kevin Durant Phoenix is coming on and they just they had a big win last night they beat Denver this year twice at Denver and I know we kind of Devin Booker went
For fit and I’m you Phoenix is kind of attractive oh I also wouldn’t rather be the Clippers moving forward yeah I’m with you there that thing’s at the end I love all three of those dudes okay and I guess my question would be and I I’m not
I’m not going to pick the ERS but you realize you’re you have three players who are 34 34 and 36 yeah so do they who the Clippers well what about so you’d rather be so you don’t want sabonis and fox no no okay yeah I think I’d rather be the Kings come to
Steiny come just they have better young players oh yeah you love sabonis I I don’t like sabonis but they’ve yet to win a playoff series okay and I think that probably will keep up this this year too you know with the injuries but you you guys are more you guys are fox
And his youth over Steph of course I am Darren Fox is 24 years old well we’re not going to win that any Curry Stan or Warrior fan when it comes to the birth certificate and that’s what’s kind of scary man exactly that’s why I’m not trading Jonathan kaminga for a Oneyear what is it even a one-year Gambit well then what do you do besides run it back partner you try to move somebody in the off season and you try to get a couple pieces in here that fit and see if you have a little addition by subtraction and you hope your young
Players get better let’s go to uh Don Don’s in Fresno get us started Don 888- 957 9570 what’s up buddy hey yeah so if we’re not losing Claire Dre which I don’t think we are okay go ahead we lose him I think so Don and Fresno
Calls back the no if you’re not losing Dre or clay that’s where we lost you that’s a hell of a tease and who picks up Wigan slack like I don’t I’ve never been a fan of aition by subtraction if he want to get out of here who is it
Moody like I’m I’m not saying it can’t be but be careful what you wish for you don’t think if just hypothetically and I’m not even a huge Moody guy like Moody being in the lineup day in and day out would probably keep you and I like you
Know I like Moody like Wiggins has had a terrible year like he has not been good but he’s but I’ll never say he’s a terrible player well you don’t have to but he doesn’t help like he didn’t help you wi this year well the last month
He’s been better I know I know he had a sker in San Antonio so that’s and and like that’s you’re going to need him sty starting tonight you going tonight okay and in the playing game play you’re going to need him next year well I’m
With I’m not ready to run him out of town I’m ready for somebody to to see what’s up upstairs let’s go to Devon he’s in the Uber what’s up Devon how you doing man hey gentlemen how’s it going today talk to us so so it’s tough man being a
Warrior fan forever I’m 33 but I’ve been a warrior fan forever about be 34 and I you know what I hear this we’re so used to winning thing and I’m not I I remember the days of walking to the the Coliseum and getting in for 10 15 you
See what I’m saying like I remember those teams majority of my life the Warriors have not been successful you know and um so I’m not used to winning I I wish this would be a lot longer I loved it when KD came over I said it’s
About time you know like so when I look at things from that perspective I see things like I I’m with ownership we got to get dubs he’s been in the luxury tax for years and it’s time for for the players and the roster and the Warriors
Culture to start looking at Joe in a way like all right let’s give you some relief you you looked out for us let’s look out for you some of these guys got to go we have to create a new Dynasty like just because this dynasty is ending
It doesn’t mean we can’t like we’re trying to be a step ahead for new one as well uh a smooth transition I I think that the only guys that can’t go anywhere are Curry I really do want to keep kaminga I don’t even think this offseason has anything crazy enough to
Offer for us to give him away pretty much so um and I like uh I can’t think of his name but our new rookie uh Center I’m sorry Davis right I would love to see what he does for forward bigs usually develop a little later than like
Ys and and forwards so I think I mean I love clay I love Dre you guys did great and they did great by giving you guys these contracts over the years when clay was hurt he was still getting paid it’s not like they restructured anything so everything that was given was given and
Now we have to look at it and say we may have to part ways you know so I love the culture I love you guys that’s just what I want to say I think it’s time to move forward but I do kind of want to keep
Kaminga cuz as you see in the west Shai ant um throughout the league the young Luca there’s young guys stepping up for their team maybe that could be kaminga so love you guys thanks man appreciate the call so this won’t be a last dance if Clay is brought back but it might be
The last parade you know what I mean like what do you mean the the Last Dance it was over Jordan everybody was gone but the Warriors are you you’ll still have that nucleus but you won’t have a threat to win titles no so the last parade is what
You would call he sounds like a guy that’s full a fan that that that can take a step back and say we’ve been blessed and lucky remembers the hard times it’s also a fan that I think knows play back and Draymond comes back and Steph comes back and kaminga comes back
And and here comes Wiggins because you can’t get rid of him what like what are we doing then we don’t have a draft pick we don’t have a pick this year trying to win games is what 10 seed like this is are we really though if we do the Draymond math about this
Okay then let’s keep it together goo then bring it if like that’s you keep saying that and I’m not saying there’s no merit to it but don’t say the Draymond math puts us at 45 and 29 well then they’re then we’re talking about this team differently and dire or then
Too okay well then you know what think that way well no seriously he may be doing that he may like I don’t think he’s doing that and this is where I think Joe lob’s different than this than a Sentimental I do not think Joe lob is
As sentimental as a lot of fans for example you know I kind of just asked you you know would you would you bring clay back for a couple years just to watch this team with the big three play two more years he’s not doing that just
To be a 500 team like that I firmly believe with my whole heart and my whole soul if he brings Klay Thompson back it’s it’s because the moves he’s also made around Klay Thompson he thinks can get him back into contention all right I have there’s just no way that Joe lob’s
Going to say well let’s just bring clay back and so we can a keep the big three together we might not have a move for Draymond so he’ll be here you know Wiggins boy can we really take pennies on the dollar if his if his value is so
Low you know we’ll we’ll keep wait like that that to me is like he would never do that I don’t think Joe lob would ever do that even if they like made the playoffs and took the first team to six games all right I’m going show you how
Much I love you because I listen to you and a couple weeks ago a few times you said this so you’re telling me that’s the steiny you’re telling me that Draymond is going to get his contract and when it’s all said and done the bottle would stop spinning when it got
To Klay Thompson when you just think at think of it that way you kind of feel like wow that’s basketball version of unfair but when you talk about the sentimental he told Tim kawakami Joe lob did that he looked at Draymond as a brother and that went into Draymond getting
4400 went into it it wasn’t the only reason but you don’t think relationship aspect of it or component of it is going to stop when it comes to Clay that’s where I’m at when would be like oh he’s for real then not saying it’s a bad move but what
Saying like you just bring clay back the fact that Clay’s been here and has been a big part of this dynasty aru just like Draymond no I’m I’m trying to sell this point the fact that he showed you Joe Lake up he would give Dre 4400 in sight
How of their closeness mean their bond means something I think there’s a credit card for Klay Thompson with that same think they have the same relationship what if I told you that that’s we we had a report that Clay’s relationship with lake has not been good hey real quick
That’s just that’s some real s and you might be right would Warrior fans here’s one question I have for Warrior fans at 888 957 9570 would it rub you the wrong way if clay had to walk and Draymond were still here I’m got my hand up it would nothing against
Dre I just but you just started that relationship that would bother the fans then okay bring clay back and but again this is not Joe it would bother the fans question is will it bother Joe yeah I think it would I think it would bother Joe they’re not if they
Don’t get out of the play in game and they don’t make changes what what Warrior fan could get behind that I guess is what I’m saying I mean are you really you’re going to resign you losing the playin we resigned clay to add a fair number 25 million a
Year then what like then what we don’t have a draft pick so we can’t even get somebody in here and don’t say Wiggins for Paul George well what about your favorite part of this team right now the youngsters get more that’s all we talked about this the year they won the
Youngsters were going to be a big part of it and you know take some off of the big three and it didn’t go that way they won the title but that might think the do you think the Warriors could make a run with their with their older players
Playing heavy minutes from here on out I know you think I’m being a homer I’m not I don’t I’m ready to see like sty I think we are about to embark on that right in a couple weeks that would that would bother me as a fan now what
If it would what if you got two what if you won a Series and win seven in the second round in the conference semis what I’m like I I’m not doing that like why would you do that we’ve never had a nine or 10 seed win around since 2020
This thing came in I got so like I’m more I’m more looking at this yes okay yeah if they win two if they win around and go seven and they go further than last year would you okay I understand I’m looking at you like that’s highly unlikely but if it
Happened that stuff changes okay so then you would bring the same team back I would be more open to it and and and depend on the young pods tjd and Moody the only way the only way they’re making it to the second round is if their young
Guys are a factor wow step like I went back and read the articles from after they were eliminated by the Lakers and Steve Kerr could not have been more adamant that we were Gass we had nothing left we only had one way we could play they took that away
From us and we only have one way to play okay like I would tell car I love okay so bring everybody back no no I I I guess what I’m saying St is I’m reading the chess board from my vantage point right now and I just don’t feel What U
Like what other um platter could you show me as an option right now as opposed to going not playing the big three heavy like they play the Lakers in La the night of the like Curry needs to play 34 Dre 34 is different than 38 like what what else is there there’s the
Young guys who have more energy like don’t like to me my feeling is don’t you get it one of the reasons they haven’t won games late is because they’re they faded late all year long their horses faded late too often this year they have to have an in they have
To have a youth come into this thing and give these older guys some juice that’s where I’m at um Don’s back in Fresno what’s up Don how you doing my man what’s up guys good week to you um if we’re not losing Dre or clay which I
Don’t think we are unless someone offers clay way more money than we can give them which is which is Poss I say trade kaminga get one or two players who are more Championship ready who also fit more of what we need and what flows with our play style a little
More kaminga has all this potential everyone talks about his potential he’s been held back he’s been in the NBA for three years though in the g-league and all I see really is flashy dun and a player who can’t close games and win games when the pressure is on at the end
Of the game I’ve seen that more than once and I like kaminga and I want the best for him truly and I feel like if a lot of people do want the best for him then have him go play where C he wants to be like Kobe Bryant let him go be
Where he can have more of a a a role and do exactly what he wants to do um I don’t think he’s Championship ready he’s 31% from three doesn’t have a reliable jump shot outside of the key defense is not great Wiggins just won us a championship he’s one of the key pieces
Two years ago um I think he’s better without kaminga because they’re the same position and kaminga is trying so hard to play more and be a star which I totally get but it’s kind of think I think I got you I mean the one thing
About wow that’s a guy going in on what you got your future I mean look kaminga is going to have like he’s not Championship ready okay well he’s 21 like be prepared for if you want and bruises yeah like be prepared for kaminga to have a bad playoff series if gets into the
Postseason like that and that’s what’ll happen to a 21y old then he comes back at his doorstep this is bigger than him that’s how consistent you’ve been all year like I If they sty I hope you don’t think I would come in here be oh Jonathan Kam need show I let’s put
Another right on the table I like kaminga so much and I see what everybody sees and I know he’s not polished steiny what if I told you though how Dre is in his way the way the Warriors play is not suited for Jonathan kaminga and he’s took Leaps and Bounds trying to learn
This way but he has another gear now you could be like well that’s a 25 win team when you talk about system but Stan that the whole team doesn’t run like him so I don’t know what you’re saying if Jonathan kaminga wasn’t in the Warriors
Offense we would see him be a dog more there he would be more productive for who for whatever team that is out there I I feel like he’s held back in this offense he would not be more productive for a better team and that’s what I
Meant a win team yeah he’d be great on Detroit he would put up what does that mean you’ve got to play in the context of winning and I’m not saying he doesn’t I’m I’m I’m just let me just I am not move and listen there’s GNA be a day
When Steph clay and Dre aren’t here and if Jonathan kaminga like it’s his show there right starts with him we’ll see but you know what there’s GNA be a day without clay Steph and Draymond and you know what you don’t want to be sitting with no draft picks at that point like
This idea that you’d move kaming at a couple picks to take again to try to hit a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth next year good luck selling tickets in 2028 and that’s the other thing well who cares about 2028 we still got staff if
You really think so if you really think this is a championship team then go ahead and mortgage stuff three or four years down the line I’m I’m not doing that I can’t do that it you know what it hurts us now that we don’t have a pick
This year in the draft I mean we we theoretically if the Warriors get eliminated but it felt good getting that chip two years ago that it sure did but now you need a pick you don’t have one Vince is in Austin what’s up Vince and I
Don’t want to I don’t want to go you can’t go without when you have a 36y old a 34y old and another 34y old you cannot just be trading draft picks to two years down the line I I don’t think so that’s maybe Vince what do you think I think the Warriors absolutely
Need to keep kaminga and I think all these casual fans saying that well we should trade him away and get a couple more Champion what are you guys talking about Kingo already won a championship he’s already been through the program he’s taking Leaps and Bounds this year
You know people are going to hate on his jump shot his three-pointer in last 10 games he’s shooting you close to 43% from the three-pointer his jump shot will be there you know when I was 21 years old I know when you were 21 steiny
What were we doing I mean come on give the guy a chance you know uh uh it’s just one of those things it frustrates me when I hear Warriors fans and I know they have good intentions in their heart and they go well kaminga he has injury
Problems and uh you know he’s not def he’s a kid let him go out there and play you know guys in this NCAA tournament that are 25 years of age so let’s just pump the breaks for a little bit we all know the Warriors are going to keep
Kaminga they’re not going to butcher this thing the way they butchered the wisan pick you know I you know you guys were talking about that yesterday right but my whole thing is this be patient with kaminga he’s shown you leaps and bound and one more thing before I let
You guys go for the day everyone who’s complaining about his knee problems well yeah the kid the guy’s jumping 60 in in the air he’s going to need a little maintenance he’s not a superum so all these casual fans who want to you know ride kaminga back and say he’s not the
Answer uh watch the game Watch how this young man gets to the rim at will watch how he cuts in and out of the lane watch how he’s able to he’s a beast 55 he’s a beast okay so all these guys can shut it like two things going to be yeah he’s a
Beast but guess what he ain’t going to be a star till Steph’s gone and is he playing tonight yeah he’s not going to be a star he’s not going to be the player you need him to be with Steph on this Rost I just need to know if he’s
Playing still not got go I’m still this segment brought to you by in at the tides M relaxing days stunning sunsets every day is magical M Oh He [Applause] N tiny you’re more like me than you think you are it’s the guru steiny guru steiny goo steiny show let’s go I’ve told you that what you and Bon we had a show together you’re more like me you guys are man I said it first
Years ago shasi and I got a lot in Gin boy that’s my guy I’m mad at him steiny I am shook you got something on your mind how could you tell look I wore a suit Easter I’ve been going down memory lane seeing myself you
Know about 10 12 years ago and uh I’m trying to get back there and and I’m going through a midlife crisis Donnie so I’m trying to grow a beard I come in and see shasy he puts his hand on my face and goes you didn’t shave on the other
Side I said no that’s just how it’s growing in bro but I’m trying to get a beard yeah you seem to be consumed with recapturing a youth that you’ll never recapture it’s okay to grow old anybody with HGH out there or any enhancements just call goo I’m ready uh 916 on
The hold on Xfinity mobile TCH uh okay since when is steiny advocating for the young guys to play for years he promoted relegating them to the bench to let the Vets play quite the change in the store they’re not a title team anymore that’s what changed that’s
What changed they won a title two years ago they had illusions of repeating last year as long as they had that illusion of repeating last year they weren’t going to play the young guys heavily I think now it’s a year later they the same damn team a 44- win team
Only this year they’re not a six seed they’re a 10 seed that’s why I’m and I’ve watched the I’ve watched The Big Three lose a step this year because of age that’s why we need the young guys here’s the other thing I was thinking about why why why does everybody quote Bill
Walsh as a genius when he says you’ve got to get rid of a guy a year early rather than a year late oh everybody thinks that is the greatest piece of viice of all time it’s it’s one of his greatest sayings of all time all right
Well the Warriors had a chance to do that with Draymond they didn’t they have a chance to do it with Clay they may not not so like I’ve never understood that I guess it’s just something that’s much easier said than done well we’re going to find out but you are right Draymond
Find out last year colon State Warrior in calami as he sees it right now draymond’s not going anywhere listen I just hate that people keep sighting a 21-point game against what was left for San Antonio as just this Willis Reed moment listen FP Sant Angelo yesterday he was great was speaking to
Me he was talking about Draymond and kind of teammate and whether you can rely on him or not and what’s he going to do next like there are two things it’s really simple like nothing’s gonna you’re right nothing’s going to happen now they’re going to play the last eight
Games draymond’s going to play we’ll see how they do then they go to the playin ideally unless they stumble and I’m expecting I’m not expecting them to win two Road games to get a series but we’ll see even with their road record this year that does not mean anything to
Me and but neither does the home record like I know they’re not good you’d still rather play at home than talking about Talent like you cannot tell me if they got to go to the Lakers and then go to Phoenix you’d rather have those games on the road yeah but what if you
Had to play what if what if somehow You’ rather play the games at home I don’t care what their record is at home no I I was just saying forget where you play them what if somehow you knock off the Lakers if you were to play them first
And then you didn’t get KD in the gang you got Sacramento again with what they’re dealing with you got to feel good I mean injuries you got to feel good about going back up there I don’t feel good yeah see I guess that’s why I don’t feel good about a 10th seed you’re
A 10 seed for a reason and now you’re you just assuming they’re going to win two Road games against two teams that are better so I guess here I’m back a day later stany there is excitement I guess it was bigger than the road trip
I’m like the the finale of it all like win or go home I kind of just I don’t think Houston’s a threat and I think we’ll find out Thursday when the Warriors put them away if they beat him but I feel like now I just want to
Simulate the season and get past these eight games and get us right to that damn moment of are we playing another game after the that playin game playing games yeah g well game you got to win two but it’ll be game if you lose like that’s where I’m at I’m like nothing
This is scary nothing I don’t think they could get to nth so I’m like you know here’s another reason here’s another reason why they beat the Kings last year because they had a week off before the series started cuz they were a six seed now they’re going to have to play a play
In win in theory play another play in win go right to Denver Duck Sauce what’s up Duck how you doing buddy my man hey I might not be your man after this call uh oh Duck Sauce you’re always going to be my guy no right on right on
No I just wanted to give a different perspective you know like and I respect like the way you look at it steiny as far as more of like a business perspective you know like you got to move off guys we got to clear t space
You know you got to get younger like I get all that all I’m saying and and and some fans have C called in to the station and said the same thing I respect that and I’m not saying I speak for every fan but I know there’s some of
Them like me where it’s just not that simple man like okay we have grown attachments to these guys you know like over the years listening them being covered on 957 the game watching them on NBC sports or whatever the station’s called these days like you build relationships or attachments to these
Guys and it’s just not that simple for me to just move off a guy like that like of course I see that it’s coming to an end like it’s not that I’m naive like I see that the sun setting but like right you go down with the [ __ ] sometimes guys
Like these guys were oh you talking to me like well real real real Warrior fans know like how bad it used to be like they took us to six titles and we won four of them like what are we talking about here and we’re over here asking
Like would you rather have this guy or this guy well of course we’re going to say fox or Dage if they’re 10 years younger and great players but man it’s it’s more than that like it’s it’s also aesthetic to me like I don’t like watching donic play I couldn’t think of
A guy like watching lease in the league he’s boring he’s boring to watch to me and then the LA you know the last thing I’ll say is like I I also take pride in being a a fan of a a organization that for the most part they built through the
Draft you know like I know not every single guy but we we drafted these guys like I love watching KD play to this day he’s one of my favorite players when we got KD I I was conflicted because we drafted Harrison Barnes we drafted Barnes and and and I’m saying that as KD
Being one of my favorite players of all time Hey listen let me let me get go ahead I’m saying is like go ahead go ahead no I was just going to tell you I’m with you you’re speaking my language but man I steiny hasn’t heard this this has a San Francisco Giants
Type feel to it and we saw how that ended with Crawford Bel and posy and it happened overnight and I’m just nervous I’m all in like you you you spoke to me but I’m just nervous that I’m not ready to watch that and it sounds like you may
Be but man I’ve been spoiled but I’m not ready to watch that I I get I get that go and like just sometimes to me though there’s an exception to the rule you know and I think these guys have been that that great to me so like the last thing I’ll
Say I know I’m being long-winded is when this when this dynasty comes to an end and it does look like it’s ending I’m not naive to that like it’s going to Mark a timeline in my life that I’m going look back on fondly and that’s
Going to be sad for me you know cuz that it’s going to Mark the end of an error for me personally so that’s all I’m saying it’s just not that simple to me you know so thanks for the time guys I appreciate it as always yeah good stuff
And he’s not by D it’s a lot of people well then find a number for clay and I’m not being fa I’m not out find a number for clay steiny you need to because you go again I don’t know what your goals would be if they ran it back and steiny
You want to see more of the youngsters I’m not hey I get that but I’m sorry you need shooting so how can you let okay that’s like who’s going to be your shooter you also need a big player you need a Defender inside you need more than one
Shooter I I mean I get it if clay if but but here here’s the other thing this is a pra let me throw this at you this is a practical thing for me if you’re going to bring clay back okay now you have Clay Draymond and Steph all
Right they’re still on the team yeah they’re The Still The Core I I get it kaminga is still okay kaminga is still here but that they’re still the core there’s still three guys who you’re going into the season and they’re going to play 30 minutes A Night at least
Those three guys how many games can you win during a regular season with those three guys still at your core knowing that they’re probably going to play fewer and fewer games in the next year or two like the problem I see from a practical level is if if you keep this
Team essentially intact you’re never they they can’t get higher than a six or seven seed anymore I was going to okay because this the regular season’s too long it’s hard for them to stay healthy Draymond is a wild card like what happens if you got you’re starting Stephen Clay and they’re still playing
30 minutes tonight and draymond’s playing 30 you got Wiggins or kaminga back and Trace Jackson Davis and can like the only way you can really win a title is with a 55 win season pretty much you I get yeah sure you can come from the seven like Miami or the Lakers
Did but is that really like you’re you’re carving out a very difficult path for you to to my way of thinking before the start of the Season by by uh guaranteeing that Steph clay and Draymond are still going to be playing a lot of minutes on this team well I I
Would say to you hopefully they play a lot of that’s the thing what are your goals to me they’re either if even if they’re healthy they’re kind of wearing down and over the course of a season I don’t know that they can win more than 50 games and put them in an advantageous
Spot in the postseason but if they don’t play games then you’re in just as bad a shape because you can’t really win without him like I I see a ceiling on this team right now in terms of the regular season win total and I think it’s kind of unrealistic to think that
They’re going to be able to win a title from a from a six spot and I don’t know how they’re I mean how are they’re going to win more games than a top four like next year how are they going to win more games in Oklahoma City
Or Denver or Minnesota like it feels like you’re ensuring that you’re going to be coming from a deep seed if you continue down this path well listen I’m not saying anything you said is wrong but we we just got this year as an example they still played the the uh the
Amount of minutes that they 30 until they pulled clay off out of the starting lineup and I know yesterday and I thought You’ been a bit unfair yesterday when you said you know what Guru I said steiny they’re going to Eclipse 44 they got an opportunity and you’re like you
Know what 46 is 44 and I kind of get that but if you do the draym hole thing with if he were available then we might be talking about Dallas’s 45 wins The Warriors would have an opportunity to actually win 50 with those guys playing those minutes okay so again and like I’m
Not being now I’m not saying that’s option number one for me but I could understand Joe Lake company being like a step back so like before next year even starts you think Draymond Green’s going to play 65 or 70 games I would cannot I I and I will this well you already
Signed up for it when you gave him that contract you can change if need to I mean but I guess TK was saying that’s unlikely first of all they’re not doing anything now there’s eight games left like of course they’re not doing anything now they can’t do anything now
We’ll see what happens in the off season but like I’m not saying I I just saying surpassing the win total last year with these the next you know you go seven and one or six- two you’re going to have two more wins than you did last year with
These dudes playing pretty much the same amount of minutes they played last year why why would they be two games better to me it’s because the young guys have chipped in a big reason cuz Steph clay and Dre have not been as good as they were last year so if you win more
Games this year than you did last year that would almost tell me you know what maybe the young guys can get more good than the big three kind of gets worse and we can get better as they take on diminished roles like that’s the only like to me that’s the only solution here
For the Warriors is the young guys got to get better Jeremy’s in North Oakland what’s going on Jeremy how you doing man they can run it back and get 50 wins that’s with the com Infinity uh mobile text line from the 510 okay if you think
There’s a 50- win team next year running it back I you lose me a little bit there what’s up Jeremy how you doing buddy what’s up um I’m doing good I S you kind of took the words out of my mouth uh but I’m with you like the
There’s no um there’s no quick fix there’s no blockbuster trade that’s going to put this team back you know in a top four Western Conference team and um that’s all you can really hope hypothetically speaking let’s just go through a quick scenario all right okay
So clay re up right for two more years all right so then theoretically at that point Kerr Steph Klay and Dre can all walk away at the same time all right and in those two years all you can really hope for is that the young guys pods uh
Gp2 I know he’s not young but kaminga Moody and whoever else can can kind of up their game a little bit and they can supplement whatever the big three doesn’t have and I I I think right now from where they stand that’s the only pathway that they can hope for and
Obviously there’s no guarantee that they’re going to remain healthy and play you know 75 games but that I there’s there’s no other pathway that I see or that anyone else can tell me that right is is optimal to you know at this point there is and and I’m not trying to be a
Pessimist and and I’m I’m optimistic that this team can do something but you have to look at the reality of the situation so that’s it appreciate the call I mean if they if if Klay comes back so now he’s still the big three and kaminga takes another jump next year and psky
And Trace Jackson Davis improve that leaves that leaves Wiggins that leaves Wiggins is he back or is he not back Andrew Wiggins and if he’s not back and you get a player or two in here how much better can that team be next year than this year’s team this
Year if this year’s team wins 45 games I I think it all starts with like you said the right on the table is Andrew Wiggins in his mindset steiny what could you really like how valuable do you think Andrew Wiggins is and well this is where
I think and I if you could not trick somebody because we we know he’s got the talent 408 Steiner you keep saying they’re way off with no quick F I don’t I’m just saying I don’t think they’re quick fixes but could you admit that getting Bobby poris in here for Wigan like
Stop like that’s not happening why would the Milwaukee Bucks trade one of their toughest players one of their toughest players for Andrew Wiggins like that’s that you know if it happens you you can revisit it and say steiny you think you know what you’re talking about but you
Don’t and I’ll be the first to say I guess I guess you could get Bobby Porter for Wiggins but can you really get Bobby Porters for Wiggins no Scott in Texas what’s up Scotty hey what’s up how y’all doing today hey hey doing well man hey I just
Wanted to chime in because I’ve been listening to y’all all day and you know you guys are talking about could Klay walk and then what are the big changes and I’m thinking klay’s probably gonna have to walk because what he doesn’t do now is what kind of hurts the team the
Most his his shooting you we definitely need his shooting yeah but what used to make the big three so perfect is that their flaws got covered up by each other clay can’t guard anybody anymore and it’s not because he doesn’t want to we all know what happened to him so I think
That a team like Orlando though with all those Defenders out there may throw 20 25 million at him for two years and say hey we we need a guy that can shoot 43% from three because nobody on that team can shoot and then I kind of was thinking if klay’s going we’re talking
About big changes the only guy on the team besides k that has any value is Draymond you’re you not a lot of teams are going to want to take that flyer but could a team like OKC with nothing but young Team guys come in and say hey
We’ll take him for you know I don’t know like a l Dort or just someone that’s making 15 16 million get some cap uh relief for the Warriors and then you get off that contract because Wiggins gp2 Looney Moody I mean none of them have any real value to help supplement this
Roster going forward and I don’t want to blow it up but if clay walks you almost don’t want to keep Draymond either because just stuff and Draymond isn’t gonna get you there either so you kind of need to start moving forward for the future if you let clay go obviously if
They bring clay back then W’s going to be a 42 win season or win team till Steph retires but that’s just my thoughts um you know I just I want him to come back but you know I think if the big change was gonna happen we’re probably gonna have to move Draymond
Because he’s got the most value outside of kaminga who appears to be Untouchable good call appreciate it Scott when the update on his availability tonight I think there’s I think there’s a few teams out there that would take on Draymond oh man not a lot I could think of four or
Five but at a 30 that’s that’s not a lot but all it takes is I mean he’s not going to the Lakers unless LeBron’s there that’s one okay so I don’t know how they get him there if Milwaukee stubs their toe I was just that I got
Them I mean that’s something that I could see like poris for Draymond maybe if you’re the Warriors um but why would they take Wiggins uh I can I could see Draymond in Miami they would take a shot at him because they know they could get him in
Line yeah see this is the negativity I talk about they would get him they they got LeBron in line yeah the exin they didn’t though heat cultured with Draymond I don’t know man Jimmy buckets and him getting into need that is not Stephen Curry steiny I think we’re
Sleeping on that a little bit no I know Pat Riley would have Draymond Green in his office for 5 minutes and Draymond would change that’s what Pat Ry and Miami would be a badass and Bam’s life would be easier Guru what if I hit this Infinity mobile text line Guru what if I
Got the Powerball for 1 billion get real the Warriors stink they don’t stink well they’re 10th seed W they’re about the 18th best team in the league that I that’s where I mean I just I do think it’s funny what to play I do think it’s
Funny that that just the amount of of people that are just well we’re going to win two Road games and then we go into the play I hope I’m not one of abely Stein you keep saying playoffs and make a run I well you know well then they
Have to win two Road games you’re correct that’s that’s all I’m saying uh if kaminga could take another step forward next year we could have a final run Allah the 2014 Spurs where their big three were past their PES but a young kawhai Leonard took the Reigns can
Kaminga grow into our version of Kawai next year and take the Reigns from our aging big three I I’m not against that I think you should rule out a title because he’s not there yet kaminga but there would be worse case there’d be worse scenarios than Jonathan
Kaminga just growing into a role a bigger and bigger role as Steph clay and Draymond age well I’ll tell you this and we kind of talked about it and threw it around I got all the respect in the world and R Philly so for one Joe Lake
Bani there’s not a soul that is looking at this Warrior team and the decisions he has to make to get them back to be a Powerhouse like this is the most difficult offseason that they’re going to experience and I’m putting the 2016 one up there cuz you lost but yeah you
Knew you still were badass and you got KD but this one is where it gets real and uncomfortable maybe 888 957 9570 is the number steiny along with Daryl the guru Johnson how you feeling about the game tonight does Warrior fan I just want to talk about the game tonight against the
Dallas Mavericks what can somebody tell me what they have at stake tonight for me to tap into the 4- one road trip and say you know what they are playing better basketball they handled business against a good team at home who they lost to two weeks ago and I don’t think
That’s as a lot but sty if they somehow stub their toe again at home against a good team I’m not going to come here throwing papers tomorrow but I’m I’mma feel like I felt the whole season every time I think there’s that’s it let’s go
You kind of just you know the what was the uh the cartoon where the guy tried to catch the bird yeah you kind of feel that way Road Runner yeah Road run be beep ly w d always thought he had him St he sh and
Blew up in his face real quick uh you were asking about uh give me a week in the play give me a week two weeks away okay so it’s week oh it’s during the week Tuesday and Wednesday boy it’s back to B it can’t be back to
Back back to back there Tuesday I’m looking at the schedule for the NBA right now they just have it TB funeral him there’s two games there then TBD Wednesday April 17th yeah I bet it’s going to be a Friday cuz that when they’re season if they win it was
At home against Memphis on a Friday I’ll never forget correct and they have Friday April 19th oh my gosh wake up dub Nation you reading that or you saying that I’m reading it oh from the Xfinity mobile text line 650 wake up dub Nation the Warriors are in the bottom third of
The league why I know your answer but there’s some more to it than just Why do you I tell you what I want you to think of something think about something I want Warrior fans to think about something too why why do you think this team should be better than it is oh
I got why I don’t even need to think 888 957 9570 I don’t think they’re underachieving at all I think they’re achieving about what they should be achieving that segment was brought to you by 888- 957 9570 jump in that segment brought to you by Fremont Bank full service banking no
Compromises getting your biggest tax refund from Jackson huitt can lead to some spirited reactions Jackson hu yeah Jackson huitt is so sure they’ll get you Your [Applause] M He N Oh A Now back to steiny and Guru on 957 the game are the Warriors underachieving this year they’re 40 and 32 that’s a tremendous question I I don’t I don’t think they are I mean like to me what more do you need to see they won 44 games last year correct
They’re going to win 45 games this year that’s the pace they’re on 45 so they’ve had two like usually if a team if they underachieved this year they probably underachieved last year I guess what I’m saying is when teams underachieve usually make changes especially if they
Do it two years in a row during the regular season like I think like to me the last two year we’ve had two years now of the Golden State Warriors and they’re they’re 44 and 45 wins essentially so doesn’t every move you make in the off season forget what they
Do in the postseason you want them in don’t you the first thing is to win more regular season games so how does this team go from a 44- win team last year a 45 win team this year to a 50 win team next year how how how can we do that cuz
That’s that sounds a lot more that sounds more realistic to me than oh they’re going to win a title next year let’s just talk about how do you get from 44 wins last year 44 45 wins this year to 50 next year and and we’ve already talked about it stany it’s I’m
Looking at Draymond Green’s uh game play log it’s at 49 games if you avoid that 15 game suspension I believe right there if we just if if you let me right there we’re I could I would feel better about that can you sell yourself on that yes cuz I
Think he means that much to the team not that they would have went 15 and0 but we might have five or six more wins so you’re advocating for the Warriors to bring clay back bring Dre back Steph back and see if you can move Kingo or
Wiggins for a really good uh make a really good move for one or two of those guys and they can be a 50- win team well I’m answering your question one I I keep thinking of our guy Willard who said the answer to the Warriors what LSM is not
In the building I feel that way at times and I guess what I’m saying Stan is I’m not advocating for this portfolio I’m advocating for how do you get back to the promised land and I’m advocating or I’m cosigning on the fact that this could be the way Joe lob does it clay
Gets his two years or whatever Wiggins is back and this is your team and pods Moody kaminga and tjd are all more season like I I I could see that I’m not saying that’s the most attractive but I could see that happening I think the idea first of all I I
Like I can’t go into next year like d let’s let’s say Steph’s going to play how many games this year 7 five he’s going to play a lot and Kay’s played a ton right Klay hasn’t been hurt no like if you bring I don’t know I mean I guess you I
Guess if you bring clay back and you bring Draymond back and you bring Steph back I guess here’s what I hate about that Clay’s played Curry’s played 68 what what I hate about that is you’re telling me that they’re going to have to have all three of those guys playing 70
Games at a high level I just I I don’t want to do that I don’t want to I don’t I don’t want to do that I don’t want to BR and here’s the other thing if you do that then you’re asking Steph Curry to be essentially the same like
He’s going to have the same kind of role you’re going to expect the same kind of things I don’t know I mean look I don’t predict injury but by the same token how do you go into next year saying we’re going to the big three is going to be
Healthy like you have to prepare that they might not be right why would you I would give them a a minus for that’s my point and you’re a 44 win you’re still only won 45 games well you know I gave you my answer you actually what what if
I’m being real St what if it was 50 you feel different 45 yeah but what if it were 50 it doesn’t I’m not even answering it they’re not a 50- win team they haven’t been for two years they haven’t even close they haven’t even resembled a 50- win team 45 they won 44
Last year let’s see how they finish up maybe they they might not even get to 44 might lose tonight lose to Dallas lose to Houston beat get beat by the Lakers um the one thing I’ve always I’ve always had trouble getting a read on is if you bring clay back and we
Ride this thing out which we heard Duck Sauce I get it at my might not be the worst thing in the world how do you how do you rationalize the fact that they’re probably not going to be any healthier than they’ve been this year and what if I said there’s no way
To control that you know what I mean but you right but you’re going into the season with the 36y old like you so you would just go in and we like in your mind Steph is just like 26 yes okay and feel like the Warriors stey you got he keeps himself in shape
You can’t run from what you are but if you look at the log as far as yeah you could tell me this is his worst uh shooting percentage from the field uh in his career I mean 44 it’s been his it’s it’s been probably least effective year
Of the last 10 okay but with that when you look at the most important well one of the most important to me games played physically he’s been able to night in night out at 30 32 33 minutes so okay that’s sta they’re going to try to do
That and to me that’s Curry telling them I can do it now how effective we’ll find out and what if Clay is a six-man to start I’d rather him being a starter but what if he signs his two-year deal and he comes in and he’s a six-man so he’s
Giving you 28 25 to 28 minutes next year and so that’s one thing one guy off the table in regard to goo how you G I don’t know about that I mean again I like I get it you never can predict injury but you kind of can when guys get
Older like that’s the other re like I boy just the idea of you know you bring clay back and you got the big three I think because injuries happen to the youngsters look at Carl Anthony towns so if well you have so you’re not you’re just you ha you have to go into
Next year with open eyes and realize these guys are thir one guy’s going to be 37 one guy’s going to be 35 one guy’s going to be 34 but we all expect him to stay at about the same level and play a full season like that kind of defies
Sports didn’t the Clippers kind of do it this year they’re falling apart right now no I wouldn’t say just they’re getting banged up well when you look at the overall where they’re at it ain’t you can’t just take 10 days and say they’re falling apart I’m just looking
At where they are in the standings and I would they’ve been surprising look what theyve been the last month yeah and I could say look at Curry shooting the last month but you know it’s about can you get to be your best on the most important night of the season and
They’re going to get a series that Clipper is there any Clipper that works as hard as Steph Curry no I don’t think so either um but look at LeBron and I I gotta be cannot compare somebody who’s 63 and unfortunately a i compare them I’m just saying they’re both old as
Goats and they’re still C one’s a ninth seed and one’s a 10th seed like I I can’t I have nothing for you on that I just you know what I feel about the Lakers I think they’re going to wested Conference Final steel and I got two Bets with Willard and dibs on that
Good luck uh steel toe they’ve got to win two games the so well right now’s not going well no I think they’re going to catch the Kings I think the Lakers are catching Sacramento only going to have to win one so yeah they’re I think
The Lakers are going to get out of the knif seed well what if they don’t then the Warriors then both teams can’t make a run so what what are you going to do then if it’s nine versus 10 and you think the Lakers are going to the
Western confence fin so you don’t think the Warriors are going anywhere this year cuz you made a bet on the Lakers who they’re going to have to beat we got to we’ll fix we’ll fix that heyy slow down over there steel toes in San Mato I didn’t know about that bat what’s up
Toe hey steiny hey Guru he hey yeah I I I believe that um I always believe that the that the Warriors kind of underachieve um that we noticed uh why they underachieve the last time they they won like 50 games was was when Wiggins was doing good right and then
Out of nowhere um Wiggins act like he had like two leg injuries and then just never came back and and then that that’s part of the problem that Steve cerr doesn’t recognize he’s kind of really an underwhelming head coach he he just now it’s April just now realized that Trace
Jackson Davis should be a starter I mean no everybody knew he should have been starter soon either in December or January and here he is taking forever like he’s just too in love with Wiggins it’s Wiggins who fell off and that’s the only one everybody else can maintain what they’re doing nobody can’t
Compensate for Wiggins and then now you got Trace Jackson Davis I I always like Draymond at the four and then it should have been kaminga at the three and replaced Wiggins Wiggins it would be the best backup power forward Off the Bench Wiggins is a bench player he should have never came
Off the bench and that’s why they’re underwhelming you replaced his numbers what he did in 22 with Kam with kaminga you pretty much got a 5 win team no and and Steve Kirk can’t even recognize it he’s so frustrating I think he’s the one who frustrates Draymond and make him go
Crazy and start getting suspended oh Ste yeah wow where’s the one thing I was about this we had Brian giler on yesterday kaming is a big part of the future but does he have to take a step back right now as great as kig has been I may make
Him a six-man extraordinaire because I like Trace Jackson Davis in the starting lineup and one of the biggest problems that the Golden State Warriors have is the lack of size and Jackson Davis fits so well because he’s not only really athletic he not only does smart things
With the ball he’s also he’s big he’s good Siz this kid they need that so like my point being is that it’s kuminga and and Draymond are somewhat of a clunky fit together when you’re playing against bigger teams you’re going to have to probably pick one of them I think going
Into the playoffs and it may be that Jonathan kaminga ends up with a bench or you play him at small forward and Draymond kaminga and Jackson Davis and it’s Wiggins Off the Bench which wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world either well we’ve seen it all we’ve seen
Kaminga come off the bench we’ve seen Wiggins come off the bench Can you really bring kaminga Off the Bench right now no I I that would be like if I’m coach cerr hell NOS dony why I think it would mess with him upstairs the most well they’re three and0 without him so
Who cares well what if Playing devil’s but I would say that three and0 like when tonight if kaminga weren’t to play then maybe we could have a conversation but I just on a good day I think we we’re best with Jonathan kaminga in the starting lineup who’s not so what’s your
Starting lineup tjd wouldn’t be in would not yeah would not now if we’re playing the Lakers that night of the playing game tjd get your ass up and then I would have that conversation about who would come off the bench Wiggins or uh kaminga let’s go to ma life CEO in
Oakland what’s up M Life how you doing man man what’s going on man what’s going on steiny man I know I give you hard time on the YouTube chat man but you’re my guy man you’re my guy appreciate it man yeah hey hey goo what’s up baby my
Guy too goo man hey I hate I can’t be I never can get out to the little uh get UPS man y’all the get togethers man but I’m G try my best to get out we got one coming in a few months man it’s about to
Be summer okay I’mma make sure I’m there I’mma make sure but now I just called in really to agree with my guy uh uh Phil M Mike you know man I’ve been a warrior Fantom 43 man so I’ve been around all the teams you know way back to you know
Good old good the good old days of run TNC and and the We Believe situation I’m you know so to me everything that’s happening now man we got fa chips like people keep calling it raging on Cur it’s like you got a CO that gave you
Four chips man you can’t blame it on C we got a big three that’s not even a big three like they got to figure it out if it’s getting to that time it’s getting to that point Draymond is a great player he he’s slipping he’s starting to slip so
He he acting out and it’s just it’s just kind of what happens in natural maturation of your career man you know Steph is amazing right but you got you got the future you got JK here JK man there’s no way in hell you trade JK you
Trade that kid man ain’t no fans coming to the game man we need something for the future you got to be able to come and want to watch The Warriors for the future man now build around a young kid keep step obviously clay 5050 and you
Might be able to trade Dre and get some picks but that that’s kind of how I feel the team a just they just not good enough to win this year it just is what it is but I’m enjoying watching them I’m still rooting I’m a forever fan when
Even when we was had bimbo Co it is what it is man yep yep but hey I just wanted to tap in and really finally call in and chop it up with yall steiny I love you man don’t trip how we get on you on the uh chat man and go you
Already know I love your passion bro I’m the baby back at you Ma I’m a Warriors fan all the way who should start for the Warriors tonight you just put well we don’t know who’s available cuz kaminga might not even play okay well when kaminga is available okay gotcha so
You’re you’re just go you’re taking Trace Jackson Davis back out of the starting lineup and you’re going with Draymond at five well I guess you know what here we go make a decision yeah we’re playing the Lakers I’m I’m putting the lineup out for the Laker game the
Playing game about Dallas you’re playing Dallas tonight and kaminga is available who you starting it looks like by the way looks like Klay Thompson’s back in the starting lineup right even though even though Steve Kerr said nothing’s permanent I like that that feels permanent okay so Steph clay
Dre darn it sty I’m going kaming Wiggins and I’m going Dre at to five till the wheels fall off that’s your best SC how does it feel to pound your head into concrete day after day after day I wouldn’t know that’s what it feels like you we’re doing with
Draymond at the five Draymond the five for 32 minutes A Night That Was Fear of him not being able to hold up how if you go with that line I’m there’s no right eight games left steiny okay you’re you’re going to make a run with Dre playing 32 minutes at the
Five I mean you’ve got us here but like I’m not adverse to to this juncture to where he got a chance to supersede last year’s win total and he’s missed 15 or more games would you rather win more games would you rather win 45 games and
Be a 10th seed or win 44 and be a six well you don’t control that you’re you you like you ask me questions and then there’s you don’t answer so you end up being right cuz you just shoot my answer down bottom what what’s what go ahead
Yeah what do you think’s going to happen tjd get the start for the rest of the season and for that night in the playing game or do we see Dre at the five for the rest of the season I’m inclined to believe we see Dre at the five for the
Rest of the season now if they put tjd in there and sat one of the guys down I wouldn’t come in here throwing papers I get it but I think your best starting five is without tjd if said like what if clay Stephen Dre like couldn’t it does it stand a
Reason that if you were 44 win team last year and you were six and you won 45 this year but you’re 10 doesn’t that mean the conference is getting better well there’s no doubt okay but doesn’t that mean if you didn’t lose 23 for um te games maybe you would be getting
Better with them too and you might be sitting with 50 or 52 wins I think that’s I think that’s a joke I think it’s a joke you just said there’s some Merit to that if the team took a step back to think we might have more wins at
This juncture if Dre hadn’t got suspended I thought I heard you say that they might but they’re you think they’re a 52- win team I’m just saying with Draymond I I I don’t I don’t think if but it’s like the I guess what I’m saying is he like doesn’t it matter to
Anybody out there that Draymond messed up last season and he kind of messed up this season but oh next year he’s going to play 73 games and we can count like like that to me is well let’s say you were in on that interview with kakami yesterday wouldn’t
You have said that to him not that he made the decision or telling you what he’s heard with the stakeholders would you tell the would you address the stakeholders like what you I don’t believe him I don’t he’s saying what he’s hearing right nowar hear the Golden State Warriors are telling calami right
Now you know what he’s really important we really need him we really need him see how they feel in the off season no doubt about it he might he might do something dumb between now and the end of the year Jo called the shot when he
Said to Tim TK that uh big changes were coming yeah if they don’t unless they make a run that’s what he said let’s go to uh Nicks in Ohio what’s up Nick how you doing man hey charas how’s it going hey hey going well hey uh
We I got to go for the future man we can’t just keep spinning the wheels and maybe get tent uh you know see what we can do bring them back next year I I say clean house keep Curry uh shoot Center sorry Center name Trace Jackson Davis and and kaminga keep
Those core guys and go after some some uh prospects with the upside Young ented players we may stumble for a couple years but then you know we’re back in 2013 2014 with the future the way it’s going now you you can’t even bring a superstar in that’s going to change that
Much so you got to unload plan for the future and Curry I mean he’s got four four rings I mean it a little selfish that he’s demanding the the team you know make decisions that aren’t going to help for the future I just feel like you
You know he he could help mentor and maybe have a lesser role but go out with dignity and stay a warrior and the team can get somewhere in the future that’s what I got to say I’m kind of with you there I’m kind of with you there well there haven’t been any
Demands no but there’s a perception that that Steph if Steph wants Dre Dre stays and I don’t necessarily believe that anymore and I’m not I’m not you do what I believe you think he wants Dre mon and that’s why he got that even after last
Week oh no well no that that’s that’s in flux now but I’m saying that he signed off on that contract last offseason for Dre I believe I mean look one of the stickiest things about the Warriors right now is what you ostensibly owe Steph Curry and I am sorry I do not owe
Steph Curry depleting the next 3 to 5 years of now if if if there’s something out there but that’s why I’m not trading kaminga and a couple draft picks you know 26 and 28 I I just doesn’t that sound foolish to Warrior fans even even if you get a really good
Player in here moving kaminga and losing a pick in 26 and 28 because you got to give two picks up for a good really good player like and I just want I’m serious like doesn’t that sound crazy or no maybe it doesn’t sound crazy I’m asking no I like I just I don’t
Think I’d pursue that path well then how would you so what is it and I’m not saying you’re wrong but it seems like you’re just like hey they come out and see the youngsters and we don’t know how good the youngsters are going to be and
I’m not down on the curry Steph Curry next year is going to play 30 minutes a night okay so that’s he’s going to play 30 klay’s gonna play 28 draymond’s going to play 28 there’s plenty of room under that scenario to get kaminga 33 minutes and to get Trace Jackson Davis 24
Minutes and pod SL Moody they have plenty of plenty of room to get 20 minutes like that’s what I’m saying I’m not saying we’re going to start Moody at two all right we’re going to start kingat three that’s how I’m taking it I no you you can’t do that once you resign
Clay you can’t do that anyway well I think now when you and and you had never said those guys would supersede to big dogs but now it’s becoming a clear to me sty that’s the way it’s probably going to go we’ll never know about the possible would a could have phone calls
We do know about the LeBron phone call I could be wrong but just looking at it right now today I think that’s where we’re headed man and I don’t I don’t necessarily have a problem with that but the one thing that I wanted and I’ll say
It again and uh I see we’ll get to some calls on the other side uh I see we got a lot of people wanting to chime in here the one thing I I may say this every day the one thing I don’t want to see playing games in two weeks the one thing
I don’t want to see are the old guys playing 35 minutes a night right now because you think they’re the ones who are going to be able to make a run deep into the postseason like I don’t think you can make a run deep into the postseason unless the young guys are a
Big part of it 888 957 9570 is the number Evan is telling me to get out of here which I will that segment was brought to you by Robert Half it was wrong Robert Half Research indicates n out of 10 [Applause] n N [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] he E This is James wisman and you’re listening to steiny and Guru I’m 957 the game James you know what I’m starting to think I know you’re going to think I’m trolling they traded him too soon 10 and 10 for Wiseman last night you do really how old how old’s
Wiseman now I got to believe no not 22 yet 22 oh is he 22 22 that was that that wasn’t a great trade for Gary pyton I second you ain’t giving up on all James H I didn’t even see the box I don’t think he’s ever gonna be Kareem
Abdul Jabar but what if he be a serviceable big man give you 15 minutes a night are we really going to come in here and do four hours of Sports Talk Radio and not mention what happened in Houston last night ryell Blanco threw a no hitter oh God the no hitter has
Died what’s happened to how many guys combined it was just him yeah but I think that might now why would you go there what if it wasn’t combin seven no hitters a year now dude the world used to stop to me it did Tom Siver doc Gooden
That era of pitching Evan ginnings Evan when did you step it we don’t want to know D D3 stories when did you throw yours God it was it was in high school my senior year honestly I kind of forget the high school was against oh boy might
Have been Liberty we keep the crap I I remember walking three in the last inning so I was so mad at myself I didn’t know it was a no hitter let me see I struck out 14 doc Gooden definitely had a no hitter did Doc Gooden definitely have a
No hitter Tom Siver did what I was saying that era wait didn’t didn’t doc throw in for the Yankees I thought I don’t know I can’t remember doc good that Curveball here’s the other thing I was thinking about we got the Dallas Mavericks in town tonight and Luca for the Yankees in ’96 gotcha and uh so Luca is in town and Kyrie’s in town Warriors have eight games left their 10 seed they’re pretty I guess what I’m saying is how do
You like how do you handle the last eight games I’m so with you man I because you can make a case like just hypothetically the Warriors get beat tonight by Dallas and the Lakers go beat they’re Toronto tonight they’re going they’re going to win that you would
Think at that point it just becomes stay ahead of Houston go and rest the big three as much as possible but what what if you slip up and lose tonight and then lose to Houston then there’s no said they were going to take care of Houston
Earlier in the show well no I’m saying if you lose tonight and then Houston knocks y Houston’s got a little action okay so then I mean if you go four if you go three and five down the stretch that might like it doesn’t matter anyway you get to get caught okay kind ofing
That’s what I was going I thought you were saying the other way uh city boy what’s up boy how you doing man hey good Fellas Good Fellas thanks um you know I I know that I’m I’m usually pretty pragmatic and and levelheaded but you know the playoffs are coming and I’m
Going to be an optimist um I believe in this teame H do I think they’re gonna win a chip I I don’t think I don’t think that they’re that it could happen if I’m honest but I believe in Steph Curry to the point where I just don’t know not off the
Table and I think I I’ll be honest I think that’s how he feels now when you saw how mad he was at Draymond does that look like a guy who doesn’t think he can make some noise when he gets into the playoffs and I just want to leave you
With this you know Steph Curry’s entire career and and and Matt I know you’re probably rolling your eyes with all this but but listen Steph’s entire career he’s made a career out of doing things that no one has ever done before or thought could be done so if anybody in
The league was going to take a team from the 10 seed and win a championship I would have to say it will be 30 so I’m going to I’m going to get my popcorn I’m going to hope they make the playoffs and I’m going to sit there and root until
They’re not in the playoffs anymore city boy what if he looked at Draymond like you know what you’re the damn reason we’re in the T seed I think that’s exactly what he thinks but I think that he’s going to use that as a way got you got he’s
Probably telling him that and he’s like you owe me now you owe me and we saw Draymond last game and for all the people coming down wiins Road and I’ve done it too I do want to say that that Steve C is playing him as much as he
Does because he knows if this team does have Championship aspirations which we know they do whether or not we think they’re capable I guarantee you they think they’re capable I wonder they know that without Wiggins defense they have no chance yeah I agree with that is wig
So Wiggins uh defensively is their best defensive player and if they can’t get Willams to be the best defensive player they have no chance and we’re going to see Willams match up with donic tonight and I’ll tell you what I guarantee you donic is not looking forward to that
Matchup he’ll still give us 30 but I promise you it’s gonna be difficult so guarding Kyrie oh Kyrie you know whatever he’s he’s always the second option he’s never the focus of the defense but he can take over a game city boy yeah appreciate it city boy um yeah
I feel like I feel the same way about city boy in regard to wiggins’s defense Donnie but you see it like the eclipse coming up by the way and I’m certainly no Andrew Wiggins cheerleader he wasn’t he wasn’t bad against the Spurs he just didn’t make a shot yeah he’s two of 12
He was active like you can do other things outside of scoring dony on the basketball court how many rebounds did he have I think he had like six he had one now that is a flow but he initiated ball watching on defense the entire first wow EV coming over the top one
Rebound he was really good against orl he was amazing against Orlando oh my God he was solid against Charlotte how many minutes did he play 22 12 shots in 22 minutes is a lot for wigs you know what I mean needed him to shoot but everybody say we need an
Aggressive wigs 12 shots in 22 minutes that’s he was shooting well I missed like three putbacks he was active around the rim how could he miss two putbacks but he only had one rebound 888 957 9570 Mike and Santa clar he wants to trade kaminga yeah I don’t
That’ll be the answer no actually uh can you guys hear me yes sir yeah actually I don’t want to trade kaminga um I think it would be one of the worst moves that we could do since uh like you know the wisman pick in my opinion right uh look Steph has Steph
Has every every right to be selfish uh when it comes to wanting to win another championship now if we ended up trading JK with some picks and we ended up getting that player that makes us win the championship this year am I going to be sad not entirely but I also would be
Looking at like you know the future as well what are we going to have as a future I mean you get you take JK out who is basically the Warriors future um we’re going to basically be back into those really low-end uh seasons of rebuilding everything um now
Can we still try to find a role player somewhere and making a trade yeah of course but I still think you know I still think that we need to give it one more year with tjd like Moody like you know pod all those guys and they’re going to get even more
Experience and we could make an even deeper Run next year because they have that veteran presence now especially with the way they’re playing right now I’m just think that you know in the end it would be a bad move to move JK so I I just want Steph to have patience and
Again that’s a big ass he has every right to ask to be selfish and everything but I just think it would be like one of the worst moves to move that guy especially when he’s going to be the future of our team so guys have a great
Day thanks Mike I appreciate it that’s kind of where I like I’m not saying kaminga is Untouchable but you better be careful when you talk about moving him I’m with I’m with you don’t want no old head for him I don’t yeah I don’t um here
Like here’s what I think is within the realm of possibility and that is okay you want you want clay back you find a number boom you got clay back all right so here come the big three coming back again I don’t think I think they’re going to be worse this worse next year
Than they were this year as far as win total no as far as their ability they’re going to continue to drop off that’s a fact they’re dropping off all three of them are not the players they were that’s fine can the young guys get better enough to pick up the slack from
The old guys declining and you know what I think that’s within the realm of possibility I really do if you got Steph playing 30 minutes a night you got to get you got to have to get a backup who can play backup point guard 18 minutes
Can psky I don’t know maybe it’s another guy Chris Paul II he’s out yeah he’s out pod’s got that Ro Kinga takes another step next year maybe next year Trace Jackson Davis becomes an effective starter at five nothing you’re saying’s impossible thus far well that’s that’s
Kind of where I’m going if you can move Wiggins move Wiggins for a guy who you think fits better but I mean what that that to me makes a lot of sense I mean the only issue would be well is that enough for step well I don’t know I
Mean we we got your guy clay back we got your guy uh Draymond back you’re back you guys are going to be here for two years two more years together okay you know you’re going to be winding down you can’t play as many minutes you’re not
Playing the minutes as well as you have in the past can four or five other guys who are getting better because we got three guys who are getting worse do we have four or five guys getting better cuz if we do maybe we can be better next
Year especially if the young if the older guys take less of of a role because they can’t sustain it I know people are going to be thinking that I I know people hate to hear that but that’s what it’s going to take like that’s what it’s going to take it’s
Going to take kaminga taking another step next year and the young guys playing more of a role next year as the old guys play less and less yeah I i’ I’d rather do that than move kaminga for an old guy in the hopes of winning of of I don’t know running the table
Next year the city boy has me thinking about uh you guys were talking about uh Luca and then I went back to the March 13th game sty Luca played 30 minutes seven of 18 one of six from three had 21 points and they beat you by 10 but Curry didn’t
Play I’m pissed at Evan what happened he said something for his own benefit and then the people on the uh YouTube chat piled on me oh yeah see I even watch your games no I was going to tell you right thank you I was also right so now
You’re not pissed wi had five rebounds in 22 minutes okay he also missed putbacks yes he did that’s how you get five rebounds I missed two is it impressive that you have only five rebounds when you miss twoe off got my popcorn impressive that he goes after
His own Miss because a guy who’s not playing hard wouldn’t well yeah I mean okay he’s he’s he’s not you know it’s not a knockout like he’s following his Miss let me ask you everybody wants an active Wiggins right you don’t think when he went up against wemi and he went
Up against wemi he tried to Big Boy him wemi blocked the shot he does aggressive though right you that he was being agressive no doubt you’re the same guy who said it’s not good enough just to have a pulse I’m trying to stick up for the guy
Why is that the game that you’re sticking up for him because I didn’t think he was any less active against Antonio than he was on the trip he just couldn’t make a shot like five rebounds in 21 and A2 minutes for Wiggins I don’t
Care how he b game is a bad game you didn’t think he was more aggressive decisive the two previous games maybe a little bit more but he’s not going to be that like I don’t think he had an effort issue against the Spurs like he was Dro he was dropping
His head like he was he was sitting there waiting for other guys to grab the I’m just saying I think he looked tired I’m not saying he effort okay and I’ll just use the numbers people want an aggressive Wiggins they don’t care at what cost it comes as long as
He’s aggressive and I saw a guy who took 12 shots in less than 22 minutes which is a lot for him and I saw a guy who got five rebounds in 21 minutes which is better than his per 36 minute average that’s all like I don’t like I
Didn’t think it was necessarily kwig I just didn’t think he made a shot got that’s all yeah I just think it’s interesting that’s the game that you want to cap for Wiggins I’m not caping for Wiggins in fact only played 22 minutes too and he took 12 shots like I’m just saying it’s
So e it’s easy like this is what you guys do oh just we just need an aggressive Wiggins aggressive Wiggins okay well sometimes you may have an aggressive Wiggins he’s going to go two for 12 if he’s if he’s going to shoot that much let’s go rafie and Berkeley okay
You guys that’s fine don’t put you guys in there was you and EV no you you you jumped in at the end you almost stayed out of it rafie what’s up buddy how y’all doing what’s up baby so I got a question for you we got an ask how many you could
Play game show music but I think it’s an easy one okay uh okay and the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference pop top in in the top eight seeds how many play how many teams have a number one who is older than 30 years old the way you’re asking the question
I’m going to say there’s one zero no I’m saying one LA Lakers uh Anthony Davis Lakers are number nine man well that’s a wrong that’s wrong out okay go ahead who are they answer is the answer is zero it’s zero thank you like the idea if I may if I may if I
May dudes the idea the delusion that we think this team is going anywhere Steph I’m sorry he’s amazing wow is not a number one on a championship team anymore you have to find a new number one forget about The Supporting Cast he is not a number one on a championship
Team and we as fans because I’m a fan and I love the deps are and I don’t operate in this way but many I suggest are operating under a delusion that this team is going anywhere this year is going anywhere next year and realistically is going anywhere the year
After that I get your point yeah but the Clippers got kawhai uh Leonards and they’re number one he’s over their raie yeah what about the Clippers oh okay okay yeah go come back out oh yeah that’s and yeah that’s your season on that you’re right okay so the
One out of 16 my apologies no you’re all good you’re fine with me rafie no rafie you don’t have to apologize for anything not a damn I mean it’s just like I know operating we’re rebuilding and that’s fine like like let’s let’s take it for
What it is this is the decline of a championship team and it’s fine and like Make some noise in the postseason we’re a 10 seed so rafie what do you do what what’s your cure what do you do if you’re Joe ler what are you try and do
Look I’m fortunate that I don’t have to be in that position but you got to move off CL you got to get away from any kind of nostalgia you gotta trade you gotta trade Wiggins Draymond is Draymond even tradable honestly you know I think there’s something really beautiful to
Steph spending the rest of his career with one team and I think he will I think that’s the kind of guy he is but you know it’s going to be it’s just going to be the slow Decline and and you got to draft well and you got to develop
You got to develop the guys do p you really think p is a future starter in this league not not really he’d be a great seventh man i’ okay though like that’s okay though like and thanks for the call rafie like pods was the 19th pick in the
Draft he’s kind of like uh he’s helped you the guy who’s is he now for uh the Kings who got hurt but used to be half decent herder yeah he’s like Kevin herder a little bit I’m not saying the same type of player but the same kind of
Contribution yeah if he’s starting for you eh not great but he’s coming off the bench okay by the way that’s I need to disabuse you I’m good now Evan or me you cuz y’all been fighting Clippers are 13 and 12 Clippers are 500 in the last 25
Games I I don’t care 13 and 12 they’re cooking the books they’re fading seed I don’t give a damnn we’re all Fading they’re the for seed and they shocked everybody and had I told your ass before the SE started they were going to be the
You would have been like get out of here try to nitpick and cook the books cuz they’re the last 25 they’re the fourth seed so take that Jack and admit you’re like a bunch of other people that thought the Clippers weren’t going to do anything you were on the Clippers I
Don’t want to hear about the last 25 why they’re fading the fourth seed and you would have took that b and I think we had one that they wouldn’t have been the fourth seed goo they’re fading cuz they’re old we that’s just a fact what about Milwaukee they’re fading they’re
Getting better well nobody’s really fading until it starts I’m just saying you can see the Clippers no there’s it don’t look like what it look but the four Fe no okay so the Clippers have action know I just think it’s unfair that you say the last 25 why cuz every
Up and down you don’t think it’s fair for an to talk about him like an older team they listen you don’t think there’s a okay you don’t think there’s a correlation that the first what 40 games they had nobody miss a game of the and everybody couldn’t believe it nobody
Could believe it that Harden and Paul George and who’s the other stiff yeah hadn’t missed the game yeah okay but are you this is the price you pay for being an old team playing a lot are you saying they’re well you’re not I don’t want to put words in your mouth
But stany I don’t know if they have a second win they could be because they got out to that great start you’re not telling me they have no chance in the first round I think all right I take that bet if they hook up let’s we’ll do that bit after we
See what happens with my uh 25 wins for the Warriors on the road they got to go three and one yeah you think the Lakers are playing good ball the Lakers Lakers Lakers are just doing the bare minimum that’s what LeBron does and they got Vincent back like I think they’re going
To be a problem nobody controls a gameon James well no I got you cuz they don’t they’re not sitting with a s foot savant in a guy that can control the game with the best of them and that’s why they went to the Western Conference Finals from the play
In I know it what night they last year there’s a big difference between SE that’s what Gyer was talking about like I don’t I love ant if if the Lakers got to play Minnesota OKC like I I’m taking the Lakers okay that’s great so I’m not because I’m not taking any
Nine or 10 seed so like even even the Lakers if they win two play in games then they got to go play a really good young team I think like how about this I don’t think the Clippers the Warriors or the Lakers have a deep run at them I’ll
I’ll put it that way because of their age that’s the bottom line Clippers some love just for being the fourth seed even though you are they end they are well who’s five now Dallas Dallas well how close is Dallas they’re going to play each other like that ain’t five to six
Is I don’t believe happening I think it’s Dallas Whoever has the home Court Dallas or the Clippers Dallas two games back okay uh Ericson Alamo what’s to talk draym green what’s up Eric yeah how you doing hey hey uh wow I’m uh uh uh I wait it long but but I
Want to tell you something Sunny you know I see you I see you criticizing yeah GRE but if you look if you look back when we drafted Draymond Green yeah doing H Jackson you know is a hardworking man hard having saying that having saying that show me another team
In the league that have no Center and playing like the Warriors listen when we had bit here and we had fesili it was easy life the main thing we need a big Center a big Center and about Jonathan kaminga no way of trading this guy no way W I agree with you we
Can trade Wigan and get somebody else but I mean we need a big guy I don’t believe that L don’t see the picture he sees the picture and I’m sure uh we had a chance to get finga you know from Dallas before he moved and we never went after that you know
So think about it Draymond work like a forward and a center and everything and nobody else in the team playing like him now I know he’s got his own craziness but you know he he no hey I like this guy uh ER I was gonna say they tried
Eric they tried to draft James wisman I was going to ask Eric he didn’t mention Jackson Davis well I mean I saying Jackson Davis is Shaq but he’s G he’s a presence down there I mean there’s no doubt Draymond does the best he can at
Five oh my gosh he does but is that a position of strength for golden state no right he’s just making it less weak or the least amount of weak that it can be with a six7 a band on it exactly yeah and Zach Edy is not the Savior who says
He is is just his phys I mean he just looks humongous out there yeah and so did George Muran oh boy 77 who’s the other guy that looked oh yeah’s favorite player oh you gotta get this guy in Andre Drummond I thought you’re gonna go Dwight Boogie cousins DeMarcus Cousin

Union upgrade your savings dividend open a first NorCal first class money market today the number 888 957 9570 is the number we got Dallas in town how big of a game is it it feels like there wasn’t a lot of excitement after the Warriors won four in a row on the
Road I heard Bonte saying it’s a big game tonight it’s a big game tonight I guess my question would be why is it a big game why is tonight a big game on 957 the game and it is on 957 the game Dy you’re more like me than you think you are tune In [Applause] N [Applause] why [Applause] N [Applause] I was going to call him Stumpy I mean sty That ain’t cool now back to steiny and Guru on 957 the game hey we got a WNBA team coming to the bay in a year yeah no name yet no I wish we could get Clark but she’ll be
Gone which of those four would you like to have you can take any of the big four from last night’s games I I know who I’m taking it’s not even close Miss USC yep I’m taking Caitlyn’s Dy and I mean that she’s curry curry Norm just text me my dad you are
Just so oh I’m sorry go ahead and he says take it easy on steiny and I tried to call him I couldn’t like what the f is going through your eard drums the dude just came at you yelled at me about the Clippers and he’s telling me take it
Easy I’m good now because wow he he knew you obviously didn’t know the Clippers have been 500 eight weeks so you missed my point again but go ahead probably yeah thanks Norm well the Warriors have been the second best team for two months yeah that really yeah they have the
Second most wins since February 1st of any team not named the Boston Celtics second most wins let me look at this you know that do you know that stat by winning percentage okay so they’re they’ had because they’ve had a lot of extra games so they’re a top five team you’re just
Guessing I’m how could you have the second most wins in the league and be outside of the top five because maybe they played nine more games than some other teams because they had yeah well they may just be behind I don’t know I’m just saying well but I’m
Saying we don’t talk about them like they’re the second best team in the NBA Guru does no no thank you Evan go ahead your question’s kind of provocative who would you want I said Caitlyn I’ll take Watkins what do you love so much about her she’s good she’s
Really good and she’s young thank you she’s a freshman so they still got the rules where yeah I’m out on oh I’m out on she’s yeah she’s a she’s good she was controlling that game she a little too robotic for me but she’ll work in the
WNBA though I have no idea I don’t know what that leads like yeah I can’t assume and Yukon got some bangers what’s number 10 Yukon she is a problem down low she was like Draymond but anyway she punch somebody that’s I’m going give you a three we
Don’t have a name here for the W uh WNBA team as of yet no but you can suggest names they had the uh general manager of the women’s team on with uh the night of the women’s empowerment broadcast and she said she’s accepting suggestions I’m serious I can’t remember her name do you
Know if it’ll be San Francisco gold smith yes exactly Jess Smith so if you have any ideas for a name of the w we got to get it right now of course it’s going to be San Francisco right okay I would think well we tried to get Evan play
Byplay when we were over there you did you hooked him up next question try to point out you did something good that’s all I you don’t have to do that I got a reputation for not do like that study stuff so I don’t I don’t necessarily think uh yeah I take
Watkins the world stopped last night you were stop saying that it did the seven on Twitter no it didn’t you were not on Twitter so you don’t know the world didn’t stop you weren’t on Twitter so you don’t know the world did not stop we’re still here this morning it didn’t
Stop well I didn’t say it I said it stopped so it stopped it stopped for the first game then it stopped again for the second game according to you it stopped because somebody threw a no hitter that nobody heard of how many times did the world stop since the show ended yesterday the
Fact that you w’t X you missed that that added to the experience of watching those great those two great games let me tell you what added to the experience off X that adds to the experience it wasn’t a never go back yes it was no everybody was talking about oh
How’ Paul Pierce do on Twitter last night well he said he was catching grief oh yeah no for something he said on TV so it’s toxic well he just pointed out very toxic oh Caitlyn did it again she’s white and did it against the sisters which is ridiculous but uh that he did
That on TV uh Mike’s in Berkeley hey Mike how you doing buddy Mikey hey guys how you doing hold on Mike hold on Mike feels like the world’s stopping for this call Mike uh oh what’s up buddy yeah that was bad that was bad humor I got I
Give it a one hey there you go go ahead Mike I’m gonna give you a five hey guys I you know I’m sitting here thinking uh you know all these people calling in and you know a lot of them are right they got their opinions and bits and pieces are right but the
Warriors play like a team that have recently won four championships there’s no hunger there’s no focus of of detail and they’re being coached like they’ve won four championships recently now let me ask you let me ask you guys this do you think Steph Curry would play the way he
Plays if he hadn’t won four championships put jacking up crazy shots in the fourth quarter being so careless with the ball you think do you think Steve Kerr would coach a team the way he coaches a team if they recently had won four hadn’t won four championships that’s for goo I’m
Not it’s just kind of obvious that there’s no hunger there’s no attention to detail and I I just see it as you know unless you unless you press the press the reset button at the beginning of the year and do the etes sketch and shake it above your head and do all this
Stuff and start over you’re just resting on your laurels that’s all they’re doing but what about Wednesday when we saw Steph Curry with that emotion that that that falls under hunger for me right he was fed up I mean they’re trying to win and Steph’s always play with a flare and
Turn the ball over that’s just they’ve been so great they were able to overcome that I I just think that that’s an accumulation of years and years of draymond’s nonsense and that’s another thing do you think this team would put up with this if they hadn’t won four championships
Recent memory they would this this would not be happening and and the way they coach the young guys I mean you look at Moses Moody I know everybody talks Moses Moody I mean he’s he’s a fan favorite for a reason the guy hustles he plays hungry he’s one of the guys out there
That you can count on day in and day out and if you see what the coaching staff has done with him in the last three weeks I mean Wiggins goes out for four games in comes Moody now albeit a day after that uh KR said he was out of the rotation and you
Know he was the 13th man he steps in and he plays he plays some ball guess what the the very first game that Wiggins comes back he’s the tth man Off the Bench he’s the tth man in the game so I mean you’re going up and down with this
Guy if you invest in him and treat him like he’s a valuable player and he’s got upside give him confidence the guy’s a dynamite player all right thanks Mike appreciate the call with you I don’t think they’re lazy are not trying to play I don’t see that part of
It St that’s when you quit but hey that’s his that’s Draymond quit the other night no that he did and apparently Wiggins quit on Sunday Paige beckering to you guys oh she’s ball or two Mike bassic was on with the uh was on with the morning roast he’s a talk
Show host out of Houston former major league baseball player gave up Barry Bond’s home go ahead here’s what he had to say on the Warriors he he said something that I’ll let Guru react to my Wonder is where they’re at standings wise last year and this year
And and how much curry has left I just don’t I don’t know where the future is for the Warriors if that makes sense it’s almost like they need to rebuild a team around Curry but then you have to ask yourself is curry young enough and have enough left in the tank that we
Could we could do like a one or twoyear rebuild and in 2020 six possibly put a championship team around Curry what is a championship team around Curry and he’s from Dallas what does a championship team around Curry look like when he’s 38 and what does he look like
At 38 well is he a starter oh no doubt Donnie you’re looking at me like how many minutes does he play in I I would say up to 30 26 to like I know they’re not the same don’t take this the wrong way cuz you did early steiny they
Dedicate themselves to staying in tiptop shape and that’s why I always bring up the LeBron comp I know it’s different bodies but steiny two years of Steph Curry playing 30 minutes a game I don’t think if you get the right people around him and his specialty is shooting and
You re you know take the ball handling duties duties away from him I don’t think that’s impossible well of course not impossible what kind of player is he night in and night out at 38 years old get 24 to 25 points a game and doesn’t S
7% from three well how you okay how okay how important is he at that point is he still your best player at that point there would be you would have like kaminga would take the he no it would be an argue like you know he wouldn’t be
Number four he he would be two maybe two and a half in a perfect world that seems or maybe I’m maybe I’m lowering it to like come on goo we’re not I mean I don’t know the idea that I mean I listen I’m I’m advocating for kaminga to stay but I’m advocating
For kaminga to stay because I think you can use kaminga and some of the young guys to try to rebuild something here but I guess that’s what that’s where I think they’re effed in a way you you’re going to try to rebuild something in two
Years and Steph at 38 is a main Cog on a championship type team like if that happens like great yeah but I don’t know I don’t know uh mix and San Jose I I don’t know well you said something that’s right on the table that nobody wants to talk about but me sty
Life is about relationships and sometimes you make decisions because of friendship and and the history and you said it earlier and it hit me do the Warriors feel like they owe Steph Curry that opportunity okay let let’s talk about it this yeah that’s some real stuff let’s say they they feel
Like they owe Steph Curry they go that way to say what can we do something fast and try to get something around you in the next two years and if we don’t get it we try what do you do with Clay I think he’s a part of this because I
Think Curry wants him to be a part of this if I could if I could get something that was more season that I think could impact us right now and maybe be that best player and take the Manel from Curry sty I I might be inclined to
Listen or do it let’s go to Mike and Oakland what’s up Mike how you doing hey you guys how you doing today thanks for having me sure hey man this this is my this is my take if you don’t get anybody that’s any of any significance then this is what you do
Right right you go through a development series with your players you take you take you go to the summer and you have somebody like an aim Alanis to teach him offense then maybe you go to somebody else who’s a great player to teach him defense so if you can’t improve the
Roster then you can make you can can improve the roster by getting guys in there who know the game who can teach him the game teach them certain moves inside how to get their shot what angles to take if you can teach them these things that they don’t know over the summer then
What happens is when you come back next year they know what to do you got better players and you’ve developed them that’s what I call development development is taking a time out to have somebody teach these guys how to play it’s not just playing because playing is not going to
Develop you at all the time but what if Curry doesn’t have that time for development and I just asked Don I’ll ask you over the summer all right okay got you got you no I get you I get you but stany there is you can you admit
There is an element of that I believe now Joe ler may say what do we owe this man and this man I’m talking about sta well you guys think I’m just being real I mean in a way the only and this is where people disagree with me I don’t
Think Joe lob looks at it like weo staff I think I I’ve said this a million times to me Joe lob is a businessman if he thinks that that like if his number one concern is well what are we going to do if Steph’s not here
And we can’t sell out the building we’ll extend him now then for goodness sakes at they at the end of the year but I don’t believe that’s the way Joe lob views his Warrior team like I’m not saying Steph’s irrelevant but I don’t think you can I guess the same person
That thinks from the 10 seed they’re going to make a run this year and win it wow yes would I do anything possible to get Steph a fifth ring yes but what they’re looking to do now how like well no that’s nobody say hey Genie bus can we just can you just
Get we’ll take LeBron for Moody yeah but he called you just do us a like they need somebody to do them a favor yeah well who’s going to do them a favor well they can sweeten a deal and again that’s morgage in more of the future thank you
But I mean again stany you just said something I got goosebumps of I’ll do whatever we can to try to get number five and I’m GNA say this for Steph Curry because he doesn’t need it all right A lot of people think uh Draymond Green drove over and had dinner and he
Ended up he he got 4400 my question to you and the fans is what’s hurry’s 4400 like like I just really believe what where he’s taking this franchise where the warriors were at four chips and him being transcended I just have to believe there’s we I don’t believe we’re there
Yet but we’re about to embark on it what do we do when we kind of know we don’t want to do it but we can’t have this dude another uniform and Jonathan K might be a superstar down the road but we got to get something now so when it’s
All said and done and we’re gray and old at a luncheon we can look Steph Curry in the face and say you know what we did everything under the sun until you that car was not able to drive not only not only did we do everything under the sun
We tricked off 2026 to 2029 like I this is what I’d love to know from Warrior fans if you really if it’s you need to think about a fifth title and how realistic that is and if you think it’s realistic are you willing to move Jonathan kaminga and let’s just
Say two first round picks in 2026 and 2028 for a hail marry pass that the move you’re making gets a guy in here that wins a title with Steph his fifth I I that’s where fundamentally I am out how can you how can you just deal out draft
Pi in 2026 and 2028 when Steph’s not going to be here that scar that’s the scariest thing to me like to me that’s how you do miss the playoffs five straight years like I want where Warrior I think I gotta believe Warrior fans I don’t know what Warrior fans would say
To that I mean obviously if you could guarantee a fifth ring sure but you can’t you not only can’t you can’t even assume a playoff birth anymore with this team uh Mixon San Jose what’s up mick I bet your Warrior fans are hey let
Me ask you Mick I got a question for you yeah would you give up would you give up kaminga and a couple first round picks in 2026 2028 for a for a player that that I don’t know maybe you catch lightning in a bottle and give it one
More run for Steph Curry at 36 no I would give Klay Thompson for second or third and get a young guy in possibly lighting the bottle because I honestly think Clay is going slower and slower I watched the game against um uh San Antonio he I don’t
Know one for seven and the Seven was a buzzer beater I mean is that what we going to pay for him really I would K kaminga give him more time get her a CL get something for I know the top two the top three are good
To players but I don’t know man would you give up kaminga at that age or versus clay at that age and look at the cap money you would be saving appreciate the call it’s Mick and San Jose yeah okay let me I know it’s not fantasy
Basketball but that’s kind of what Joe L was doing when he called Genie bus Dy let me just say that what about that package for Kevin Durant that no two draft picks and kaminga for Kevin Durant absolutely not I wouldn’t like do you realize that Kevin Durant’s
Team is a seventh seed and LeBron’s team is a seventh or is a ninth seed like it’s just I mean you want to start talking about joic or donic or sheay gilis Alexander well first of all that’s unrealistic but like those are the guys now like I don’t think LeBron and Steph get
Anything done in terms of something that’s automatic and Durant for sounds like Durant’s in that camp too he is in that camp he is in that camp here’s and you know what here’s the other thing I’m worried about if you make a move like make a move K Jonathan kaminga and I
Don’t know Wiggins for and two first round picks for Kevin Durant you are and I get it everybody gets hurt but when guys get hurt at 35 like what do you do if somebody gets hurt like then you know it’s not like donic gets hurt okay we’re going to stink this year
But he’ll be back next year like you if if one of your big boys at 36 gets hurt oh my God but wasn’t that essentially what the Warriors did this year before we saw pods proed that he could hold it down in his rookie year wasn’t that kind
Of what they were doing if Steph would have went down there was no Jordan pool who you know what I mean and Steph stayed healthy and they’re a 40- win team 40 and 32 40 and 34 right now or 45 win team I mean I just
Like I don’t have a dog in the hunt but I mean my my first thing is like like they 44 games last year they won 4 they’re going to win this year what I don’t want to speak for you but it sounds like your energy is
The best way to go is to run it back but you fundamentally don’t want to do that no but we could change the minutes I’d look for I’d look I told you what I’d do I’d look to move Draymond in the off season I believe he’s holding this
Franchise back and I believe the proof of that is last year and this year and I believe and Warrior fans come down my road if you want I believe coming back next year with essentially Draymond first of all let’s look at it this way let’s say they let clay walk can you
Come back with Steph and Draymond without the clay buffer for Steph Curry I I get that and I get the last two seasons oh goo you just throwing stuff at Dre for hijacking the season two seasons two two seasons that’s why like I get that tell me I’m wrong you can
Tell me I’m wrong Warrior fans but I am not coming into the next season and what hey what’s our strategy our strategy is this our fingers are crossed that’s not a strategy like I’m not I I can’t have Draymond come back next year and we’re all just like well what do you think’s
Gonna happen because even when nothing happens you’re there’s still the Spectre of something happening which also takes a toll on a team that’s Tom and Sonoma what’s up Tom how you doing buddy hey steiny hey Guru how you guys doing today all right baby hey we got bud break all in the
Valley man these grapes be gonna popping out and start making some great wine pretty soon sweet yeah it’s G to be a great year too man we got a l be a big summer I know that yeah it’s GNA be a hot one so um Warriors man oh boy so with
Wiggins he if he doesn’t start the game well offensively defensively it carries into the whole game man he just never gets Unleashed I feel the Warriors need to make sure he gets on track early I think that’s one one of the game plan things that they need for him uh
Secondly Joe L did anybody hear Joe L he said he had a plan A and A Plan B I believe his plan a he wants to see how far this team goes into the playoffs um to for me we’d have to be the fourth team in the western semi conference or
Better that’s going deep in the playoffs if we get knocked out in the playin or the uh first round I believe he’s going to go to plan B and his plan B is he’s going to break up the three and I believe he’s going to take clay and let
Him go and if he get rid of clay uh Chris and dar you’re looking at about $80 million so we don’t have a lot of choices man you know and and we don’t even have what makes me just drives me crazy we don’t even have draft choices
That really blows me away I mean and we don’t draft and we don’t draft in the middle of the Season we don’t we don’t go for anybody you know we don’t go appreciate it Tommy we got to go Tommy but uh good call there’s a price to being successful man
Right talk about that just pissed me off that he said that cuz that’s like what I’ve been saying for 3 years you don’t just get to have a dynasty for 40 years but we’ll do anything and everything to try to keep this thing going Ottoman Empire um love it uh don’t forget to
Download that Odyssey app and uh that segment was brought to you by Safeway Safeway head to Safeway this week for challenge or Danish crey butter selected varieties 297 each limit for A N Yeah [Applause] n N [Applause] N [Applause] [Applause] I could keep going if you want but I’m not now back to steiny and Guru on 957 the game see I believe and Evan you can confirm this Steph’s the highest paid player in the NBA yes 51 million this year 55 and then about 60 damn they him more than
That like that and that and that’s and I don’t necessarily know if I want to go down this road but like one of one of the issues a team like one of the issues a team has is when the highest paid player in the league they’ve got a big they’ve got a
Lot of issues but it doesn’t help that you have a player on the team right now who’s the highest paid player in the game and he will be next year and the year after that and I hear but he’s not the best player in the league I hear so
Then so then now and it’s not Steph’s fault he’s 36 but now you look around the landscape of the league and there’s players out there that are performing at step’s level no doubt sheay gilis Alexander Rick Brunson LCA Jaylen Brunson Luca oh no but don’t you think Joe knew this when they gave
Curry the contract yes but what I’m saying is and I’m not I’m not saying they shouldn’t have but these are the logistical things you run into why it’s impossible to keep this thing going because you had to pay Steph he’s the best player in the game well now he’s
The highest paid player in the game but he’s not the best player in the game anymore yeah but he hadn’t Fallen I hear you he but it’s important if he’s 15 now that means 15 teams not only have a player better than staff right now not a
Better career cuz nobody has but they’re also making less yeah so then you have more flexibility and Stan that’s that’s a rat on the table no doubt it is it I want to say it’s a rat but they could have saw it I think they saw it coming
What’s and I’m not wearing Steph Curry when why you owe him okay 51 55 and 60 and he’s worth you don’t you don’t owe him mortgaging 2025 to 20 for a pipe dream all let me tell you what they I feel like they do on when this season
Culminates and I don’t know if it’s going to be with the NBA Championship because it’s highly unlikely I don’t know if it’s going to be with the playoff birth but steiny when I think of the 2023 Golden State Warriors I don’t say Steph Curry was our biggest problem
What I do say is we did not have for whatever a lit of reasons a defined number two player that to me is where you start and and again it may sound like I’m making excuses I’m not I’m telling you Steph is giving you 27 you
Compare him to him okay yeah this is not his best year but if you watch this team they’re nothing without him and what’s eroded around him is the answer is who is his Robin and that’s what’s really like really got this team where it’s at is it fluctuates it and and Batman anymore
There’s no he has to no no no can you win a title if he’s Batman I think you can okay I’m not I’m not being I believe you believe I believe that I believe that if Steph’s making 55 how do they get a rob a robin in
Here well you might already have them if you could have got somebody to unlock Andrew Wiggins you and I’m not citing the Warriors for fing at that but that’s what you signed up for and you couldn’t sustain it well I guess that’s my I get like that’s the other thing that like
The here so you know why does everybody two years a steiny two years ago they won it two years ago they W it two years ago they won it well now all of a sudden he doesn’t have a number two well he had one two years ago apparently so like the
Minute there’s diminishing around like I just I don’t get the I don’t get the mortgaging the future when you’re where you’re at right now it’s not like you’re going in 53 win maybe this year you get to the Western Conference F finals hey what do we need to get over
The top what do we need I just think it’s obvious that that this team needs a lot to get back into contention and to put the onus on yourself to do it in one year for one guy it’s negligent like I’m so like and I say
This a lot like to It’s the Most important thing here is the Golden State Warriors it’s not staff it’s not but like can you elaborate on where you’re going with that because to me I get you the it starts with him but to me he’s a remove he is your
Franchise so I know that sounds heavy but steiny he’s Untouchable he’s going to get those paydays the 55 the 6 so we can’t start there with him but when you say hey we’re paying you so I guess our you following that up with hey buddy we
Might not we’re not winning a chip now but we got to save these draft picks we can’t just go get what you think you might need to get number five like I’m ready to just start laughing about this idea of number five because it’s holding this whole thing back it’s
Just absolutely holding this whole thing back in a way I think again let me make it clear this this has nothing to with Steph Curry you have to pay him you paid him nobody didn’t want to pay him right they did the right thing but it doesn’t mean as
He’s 36 and 37 and his skills are diminishing that it isn’t an obstacle to overcome you have it’s again nobody’s saying trade Steph nobody’s saying Steph got us into this mess but from a salary standpoint you have a guy on your team that’s making more money than any any
Other player in the NBA and unfortunately there are players earning less money who are better than him now so that’s like that’s a challenge you have to overcome right to to win it or to to be successful but okay that’s nature having a dynasty I’m just you got
People got to wake up and understand but what about what about what’s around him as he gets older and now it’s necessary that he the million it’s harder to put a team around well you had a guy that could give you 18 points a night I’m just going on the offensive end and
Jordan P but he got slugged by another guy you just resigned no my point is he can make Steph’s job a little easier man okay are we talking about making Steph’s job easier or the idea of winning a fifth title well I was trying to do both
Okay if there’s some slip we’re all slipp it that we’re all slipping but damn I just don’t see the thing to where you would put me in a room and say what why can’t the Warriors win the fifth oh like we’re talking and I’m not saying you’re doing it but we’re acting like
We’ve seen Steph fall off a cliff we have not I have not we may have we may compare him to him okay there’s something come on now do you acknowledge that we may we may be at a point with Steph where he can’t be the best player
On your team that you actually need somebody either as good or better if I do if I’m I’m going say yes to that but that’s more realistic than getting the number like you’re you can’t go get that bet that player better than Steph where I think Steph is still playing at
Like he’s a top 10 player in the Le today Don well I’m just saying if Joe lob doesn’t think that Steph Curry can be the best player anymore in a championship team and he knows because he’s exhausted I feel he can do you I’m being right no I don’t
I’m sorry I’m not there man we just saw it two years ago and he’s not the same player I don’t think I just don’t I think I just don’t I don’t think and it’s nothing about who’s around him or what’s not around him but again you know
Who you got to put around him you got to put Durant and clay from four years ago and Draymond from okay I’m I keep I’m not living in the past because I don’t think it’s that far he didn’t have those dudes when they won it in 20 2022 what
Are you talking about you’re talking about how Wiggins was a number two no I’m right so that hasn’t changed still on your team right but it ain’t like they had Kareem Abdul Jabar magic and those dudes are gone this is fundamental Draymond messing up and hijacking two seasons this is you’re in
The playing really cuz you’re not the 10th best team in the west it’s because you’ve been without a guy that means a lot to you no he was gone so you’re in the 10 seed because of half of what he’s done I just trying to get home Hammer
Home to you it’s not Steph why they’re 10th tent but he’s Aid is he’s a part of it this team is damn near this’s gone too what is so hard about saying Steph Curry is one of the greatest players who’s ever played the game we all know
That he’s more he’s the most beloved player in Bay Area history he’s 36 like pack it in already like we gotta move on and the other thing is like the only way he stays at this level is by playing less I I I would say having guys pull
Their weight more that are capable of doing it at this J and that’s what’s not happening plus with the natural attrition I’m not sitting here blind sty I just I don’t get 27 points 40% from three is he perfect no but he’s damn near the same dut he was when they
Closed out Boston how I would ask you no he’s not how what’s the biggest difference to he was fresher two years ago he took a month off before that playoff series he’s not that player from two years ago right I don’t think I’ll give I’ll give you that is he great of course
He’s great I mean man a top 10 to me steiny okay well we can go I mean you’d rather have him over Shay gilis right now no no that’s a whole different conversation ID no my point Davis can I get a Kyrie next to him uh can I get a
Kyrie next to him can I get Kim some more help he’s carried it so long that I’m not going to double back now a year and a half later and say oh dude it’s your he has not fallen off a cliff I’m watching them and I’m oh go ahead I’m sorry so
Whether he has or hasn’t two years ago all the players you’re talking about were better so Klay was better Draymond was better Wiggins was better right P was here you had auto porter gp2 was better so even if let’s let’s say Steph is still the same player was from two
Years ago you got to five five better versions around him to put him in that position to prove that he’s the best player EV that’s all I guess I was I think that’s unrealistic to ask right and steiny that go I don’t want to say
That’s a point for me but that’s kind of the picture I was painting that well Steph’s declined like them all yeah like if if they’ve all dropped 10% they’ve all Dro 10% and I think they have Steph included but if I’m at a 90 on my best day I’m at 80 but
If that ain’t Yannis that ain’t joic that ain’t embiid when he’s healthy that’s not Tatum m brown like he used to be joic he’s a two three how many MVPs did he win two how F and and what do you think he’ll finish in the MVP voting this year I I number
One okay but I get I just I’m not blame nobody’s blaming Steph Curry but when you’re paying a guy more money than any other player in the league and he’s 36 then you’re G to have to make up for some stuff elsewhere and I don’t think
They can it’s going to be really hard to get guys in here uh to elevate this team to Championship level uh bobb’s and no let’s go to H Tim and Raleigh North Carolina what’s up Timmy what’s up guys I’m really really with you on this one I just don’t understand why
Yeah we’ve got four rings and six tries and we just act like we it just H it’s a right a passage to get five like we it’s almost like we don’t understand how hard that is I mean the guy is 36 you’re absolutely right and let’s think back to
Like a we talk about trading kaminga like to me that’s not even that ain’t even in the thought process we thinking but think about Shay gilis Alexander you think the Clippers regret trading him to three years into his his career great Point like think like WEA you know we
Got I mean we actually mentioning trading kaminga go back and look at Ka Leonard’s first four years in the lead first four he didn’t have the numbers kaminga has and so what if they were ready to get off Kawai like this is the guy and I’m not saying he’s the new
Steph and all of that but guys why is that even in the process I mean the guy is doing what he’s doing now pretty much kind of not even really being yeah I know son you like to say you like the way KK coach him and all that I I
Disagree but pretty much not even being empowered and you know given a boost of confidence by coach it’s almost like he had to kick his way through to get on the court imagine what may happen when he’s actually empowered and trusted and another off seon like you ready to give
Up on what this guy may be in two years like I I just don’t understand why we feel it’s an entitlement so what what do you do I’m asking you what do you do then what are you ready to do what you think Joe lob is ready to say you know
He wants to sell that place out for five to 10 to 15 more years you think he wants to just go all out for the next two or three I mean a year from now step gonna be 37 we already know nothing gonna happen this year with these guys
So a year from now he’s gonna be 37 like we talk about transitioning and I hear Kurt talking about that with these guys in their career and how clay has to transition and all of that the next transition needs to occur when step goes to transition into just being a pure
Point guard where he becomes a pure point guard and not running over a 100 picks a game we’ve lost players on this team because they couldn’t play with step right we gave up on them because they couldn’t play with Steph right the off the ball movement all of that well at
3637 Steph needs to transition more to a pure point guard and we start highlighting others on the team and getting them better and let him the second and third option a knock down 45% three-point shoot like we got to start thinking about that goey why is it just
We gotta win five man we got four out of six let’s transition and just continue to be a damn good team and maybe it comes back around in two or three years once we build around other plays I just don’t understand who’s willing to give up on kaminga like like think about what
These other teams have done when they stuck with their players and watch them grow you think okay is not the winner out of that trade between the Clippers and I mean come on man I just don’t understand I don’t get it appreciate it well what are you
Thinking I honestly do you really want to know what I’m thinking of is kaminga playing tonight that’s really what I’m thinking Evan I don’t know if you know I’m just that questionable okay man so this is something that probably I’m know dror sty could flare up in the next week
Or two when he does come back but four games down the stretch and I know you had to take every game important but here we are like young fella we need you and I know you’re hurting but that that’s that’s worrisome so let me ask you this yeah and I just just crunch
Some numbers and over the last six weeks Curry’s shooting 40% overall and 34 from three that not his Ste okay I got you I’m I’m looking at I’m looking at last year’s playoff Series against the against the sa Lakers oh okay got he shot 43% from the field
And 34% from three-point range so the second round against the Lakers he felt it how many playoff series can Steph Curry play in consecutively where he’s 50 4090 the player he was against top tier talent I would I would probably say maybe one I wouldn’t expect that so
At this Jun where do you go with these n so you actually think okay as a number one you know his numbers are coming down deep into a season which by the way you’d think is understandable for a 36 year old gotta so and you hate their how do
You H how do you get better when your heart and soul and the best player on your team is declining and it shows up probably at the end of Seasons more so because of age like there may be a chance that and I guess what you’re saying is Well if
You get a couple Stars around him those numbers will go back up and they might not even have to be good players like we don’t even I was just thinking that after we got done with the conversation like I don’t even necessarily knows it needs to be stars but better players
Smarter players that fit with him better that that that’s smarter players and better players than these same players who you all tout as Champions less than two years ago I guess that’s what bothers me is that oh two years ago everybody was every everybody was good enough Wiggins was
Great and now like everybody’s acting like they’ve left Steph high and dry well no actually Wiggins isn’t as good and neither Steph and like I don’t say well Steph’s still really good and so every body else owes Steph something because why he’s declining like them all Bobby and S
Leandro guys how can you how are you guys doing today doing well all right so steiny I agree with you on a couple of things I agree with you that they’re overpaying them but some simple realities it’s just a necessary evil but it’s a factor go
Ahead yeah but they set the market right so now they’re paying staff 50 when Shay comes up for contract what what is OKC going to do pay him 60 right no so that’re by setting that market they are competing unfairly and then the comment was made earlier that the the talent
Around them around Steph they’re just not performing and then the thing that I’ll point out also is there was two points in the season where they had two runs and in both of those times their defense was top five in the NBA and every time that defense slides below top
Five they suddenly have all the other questions on the team so I think the question that we need to be asking ourselves is how do they how do they stay productive on defense because that always translates to the offense yeah yeah and that he’s not I’ll read the
Super Chat sty from chues 499 oh boy I’m with steiny keep JK I don’t want to relive the late 90s and 2000s where there was nobody worth watching also Curry’s not overpaid yeah I’m there’s not even enough money they could well how how do you mean that I
Mean when he came to the franchise they weren’t worth $7 billion well no I mean they can’t pay him enough of course hon I’m let me be clear I’m using you never said not paying him he ain’t worth it you understand what it is but I just like
Steiny is not this team’s problem it’s defensively well he’s a problem on defense too but Draymond got a new contract and he has slipped way more than Steph Curry on defense let’s put the on the table hold on a sec draymond’s taking the ball you’re the same person that said draymond’s having
A great year when play I’m the same person that said he can’t guard five when he used to do that for all okay so what are we do if if all these like we why do you think you can win a title well I didn’t say I think I’m
Hoping but I know what it is steiny I’m sitting here tonight thinking what what Warrior team are we going to see they could win the game and they can easily lose it and then the one thing that that really is in my craw that I can’t shake is this team’s losing record against
Good teams like you up here thinking I’m I’m up here just ignoring that I’m hoping bud when I watch this version of The Warriors right and and and I just think that it’s gotten to the point where it’s like you think this is you re like you’re you’re you’re holding
Everything’s being held I’m holding on to the P everything’s being held back when you when you’re only the idea that you can only talk about this team in championships is the biggest problem right now this organization has but don’t you think that’s not a reality cuz I hope I’m not
An absolute reality lost in the second round you can say whatever I’m going to get pissed here you can say whatever you want but I know you still view them as a championship caliber team that if they can get hot they can beat Denver and then beat Minnesota and then beat
Somebody else I don’t I think I think that a joke all right and let me I know we got to go steiny that’s all with Steph though it’s no other player and that and that’s the problem what do you mean it starts and ends we got to go
I’ll tell you another side 888 957 9570 is the number what’s coming up is brought to you by Freemont Bank full service banking no compromises you got a little cop to you sometimes I struggle to get to Sleep A [Applause] N [Applause] n [Applause] Now back to steiny and Guru take it away steiny should I oh no you know what I apologize I might go viral to to everybody you know what and believe it or not I’m not being sarcastic I don’t think this team’s going anywhere but it doesn’t matter
They got eight games left they’ve got to play Eight Games then they’re going into the then they’re going into the playin if they do well enough then they’ll either get eliminated in The playin or they’ll advance to to the playoffs then they’ll either win a round or they’ll
Get beat in the first round or they’ll advance to the second or maybe just maybe they’ll shock the world and win four Series and win it all so I you know what like I kind of get people like just chill out and wait and enjoy I just don’t happen to
Think that much can happen between now and the end of the year that’s going to dramatically change the way I think of the Warriors as they move forward with who they have and how they have to try to make moves to get better and you’re including the play and the playoff maybe
They go eight and0 they finish 48 and 34 they get up to eight they win a play in they shocked Denver I mean and I mean I get it people out there why write it off if it’s not written off yet but if it you know I just I think I think the
Evidence is in on this team over the last two years and I would be surprised if something dramatically changes in the playin and postseason for the Warriors well yeah I just I’m going to be consistent this could be the last eight games of The Big Three As We Know It And
I’m going just enjoy it and uh it’ll all come out in the wash as to what they’re going to do in the play in and hopefully playoffs but stany this is the first time I really believe and this is including Dr on last year I never really
Felt like he was going anywhere so I never had that feeling of they’re going to break the big three up but again theight is one of eight the last eight possibly that these guys could be together man so win or lose you know they’re going to get the play in game
Most likely 99.9% cuz Houston not going to catch the Warriors but that’s where I’m at and maybe that’s where I was at yesterday when you kind of like goo where’s the energy and you don’t feel it maybe people are as crazy as this sounds subconsciously thinking about that component of
It yeah this be the end of an era and it lasted good God it’s not over goad like it lasted longer than most dynasties I mean if you think about the first one they won which was 1415 and then they won in 22 that’s seven years and they had the exact same
Core now one different player but Andrew Wiggins essentially like that’s not easy to do wow man and then to think that nine years between championships they’re going to have without an addition like that’s the other thing that I think about so 2015 let’s put that put Steph at at 26 that’s
The most incredible one yep to me so you have essentially the same your best three players are still your best three players you got kaminga like this this what they’re doing right now is actually more than what most teams that have had a dynasty kind of do because they haven’t had much
Change in their I know my point is yes they had Durant for two years and they won two titles but they won without Durant they won before without Durant and after without Durant with three with the big three that’s still all they have really the big three in wigin
But they’re so far removed from that first title like it’s unrealistic to think they can win a title unless they were sitting with a kawii Leonard like the Spurs got late or the Lakers who got the draft James were well they didn’t have a chance there’s there wasn’t a player of
That magnitude they had a they they had they had a draft pick you talk about wisan yeah what player other than Tyrese halberton went 12 and lamelo ball who was Rookie of the Year you really think that changes their fortunes yeah we would feel a whole lot better than the
Guy that AB bust he’s done he lamelo balls got a 10year career ahead of him and probably a perennial Allstar I I’m just say already been an Allstar but they W yeah and he’s been the Rookie of the Year too I would love to have that as opposed to nothing Burger a nothing
Burger well he is a nothing bger he hasn’t played in two years box office when he plays and he played this year and he went back out and they were games last years but my point is he’s coming back I would rather have that than the nothing Burger than wisan I’m
Not sure lamelo ball oh steiny he’s electric to me just style if you Dro lamelo ball onto this team and he were healthier they a fores Sheed no I’m not going to do that I I won’t even I would I would let it try I I would feel better
About the future you might be able to pass the Baton I mean this dude went in the lottery and he hasn’t disappointed yet he just not been available Steph was hurt early on and look how that turned out I’m just lamelo ball is box office
To me well he’s box office but is he good yeah he is he a winner yeah I think well no he would have learned how to do that here like Jordan p i I don’t know why I’m not gonna get you know how I feel about Jordan p no
What I’m saying is is like he may have like yeah Jordan P he may have developed like Jordan P No Doubt all right because people think of Jordan p and I just think it’s so it’s so effing unfair is a zero well how about this I think it’s
Unfair to hold it against the Warriors that they didn’t draft lamelo ball when they were sitting with curry clay and wasn’t pool on the team at that point yeah I mean I can’t I can’t what if they did what you said during that year I
Keep going back to this sty I could hear you like yesterday goo do you draft the best available play oh they made a mistake don’t get me wrong but I don’t necessarily think if they’re sitting with lamelo ball what about Tyrese halberton I don’t like he wouldn’t that’s unfair would he be
What he is in Indiana here I just I can’t why why cuz he was an option they could have called his name why why didn’t the third team call his name and like I’m not holding it against the Warriors for not drafting a guy at two
That fell all the way to 12 who also is a guard like I just I I just can’t I mean yes would I rather have halberton of course but I don’t know do they do that in Atlanta do they do that did they do that in 10 other cities well we messed
Up we didn’t take halberton nobody took halberton for a reason cuz people were afraid they didn’t like his shot there was one of the reasons should we take a call yep uh Jonathan in San Francisco what’s up Jonathan how you doing man hey it going guys what’s up baby
Yeah Jay hey what’s up what’s up man great to talk I just want to run it by you guys um you know keep talking about Steph Curry I don’t think he’s the problem he’s still great man the problem is The Supporting Cast young guys are
Out ready and then Wiggins he he uh he did he became a butterfly again so but I have this crazy thought right not this year but this year it’s going to be important getting the playoffs playing wi play in maybe win a round and get bounc in the second round that’s going
To be that’s going to be wonderful for the young guys to get that experience right but I’m thinking I got this crazy feeling that they’re going to have their best chance to win another chip on Steph Curry and Draymond Green last contract because you know why hoping that by that
Point kaminga is a number one and TJ uh Trace Jackson Jr is like a bam Ado well I don’t know how he’s gonna score like that but I appreciate the sentiment and you know what else we’re forgetting he’s a bit heavier than bam too what’s his name I got to give this
Guy credit Muhammad Muhammad alavi isn’t it so convenient how we just forget things oh if we had ball or we had halberton you know what what they wouldn’t have played they wouldn’t have played because they never the young players never played when there were titles at hand like there’s a chance
Ball might not have played here yeah wisan started but I hear you but that was coming off a terrible year like like can we assume now oh they would have developed those two guys now I I would hope that’s what I was doing I would hope they would even why could they develop
Wisan I guess I’m just saying and the thing about WIS Miss County his career ain’t dead no oh boy I mean no I’m serious uh don’t forget to to download The Odyssey app you can do it anytime listen all four hours just ding goo on the other side it is Willard and FP
Santangelo in the house mhm I’m scared of Willard won a career with purpose great P He A He [Applause] from the head up this is Moses Moody and you’re listening to steiny and Guru 957 the game oh uh Willard and FP s Angelo in the house I’ll tell you what and I’m here too let me tell you and and go um let me tell you listening to you guys on the
Way home and what what a joy just to listen to Willard and and FP fp’s perspective just logical perspective from a former player Willard it must be how nice is it to have a partner just like that stir the pot look at you no you know what pot this dude ain’t no
Athlete what are you talking about FP camera now it’s it’s a Rel it’s a relief you know seriously it’s a relief to have uh finally have someone to talk to around here that’s all uh FP was very logical yesterday I was just listening
To him when I I’m in my car and I’m like that’s he got it exactly like I think he’s right like what did I say it was just you said this can’t remember 10m like there’s eight games left you got Draymond Green there’s eight games left
Can can you play hard those eight games and can we be the best team we can be and see where this thing ends up and then the offseason will come and we’ll figure out what we’re going to do with Draymond Green whether we’re going to keep him whether he’s a vital part of
This team whether we’re going to look to move him and I’ve just been talking for the last hour about I don’t think they’re going anywhere doesn’t matter there’s only one thing to do play Eight Games as hard as you and then see what happens and that’ll determine where the team goes
From here doesn’t matter if I think they’re done maybe they’re not probably nine games but yeah probably nine could be the last nine of the last eight of the big threes tenure together could just think about that that’s how I woke up this morning like hopefully it’s not but man just imagine
If clay were to put on another uniform or big changes happen and Dre was traded like that means something to all of us I think when you look at it through that prism what’s the worst uniform clay could put on that is I think the Lakers
Good call Lakers well for sure Lakers I thought you meant I thought you meant just in terms of style it would probably be like a 1990 nuggets Jersey those were just awful um but uh no what if I what if I twisted the uh the screw a little further into a bit of
A different direction same question though I don’t even know how many of them he’s going to play but what if this is the last nine games for the Warriors to decide whether or not Jonathan kaminga is Untouchable or not we just we talked about it will and the reason I
Bring that up is I do think a lot of us are cruising around having a conversation that’s not really realistic which is to say if the Warriors do only have nine games left they lose in the first play in uh we’re all going to S head into the offseason going big
Changes big changes are com Cal I’m with you yesterday and what changes are actually big if they don’t include Jonathan kaminga because I don’t know if you all are going to get what you think you can get Wiggins I don’t think big I don’t know if they if got a Draymond
Market I don’t even know how to pull apart what that would look like what about a package though of those two maybe yeah boy who who’s asking for wow who and and and what what is the forget who’s asking for what’s the return on that that’s a lot of money
Which means someone’s going to give up something really valuable for those two who are cruising around with the you can’t count on us label all over their foreheads right now um so you can there’s two kinds of big changes there’s like what represents to us like emotional change Clay’s not on the team
Anymore or remov Draymond but actually getting better would have to include Jonathan kaminga that’s who people are going to want there’s no doubt you mean getting better in a trade yeah well you can’t just go on the market and spend cuz I cided you you’re on record Willard is
Saying the answer is not in the building to fix this team in your estimation I’m paraphrasing I feel the same way I agree but they might run it back we talked about it FP Draymond doesn’t get suspended the young guys take more more of a bigger step and Stein’s like that
Ain’t winning you no chip but I’m like you got to give up something to get something yeah if you’re not willing to give up kaminga then there are no big changes I I’m not there yet though I I don’t like to get to the offseason until
You get to the offseason I’m more about these last games and seeing what happens and if these guys can come together and do what they did I know it was San Antonio but they they came out to play the other night I don’t care what their
Record was they won three in a row and they were playing hard whatever happens these last few games and the playoffs I’m focused on right now and then and then the offseason it’s fun to get some calls what do you think what would you do but like first things first get
Kaminga back I I what’s going on I he’s Untouchable for me I don’t care he’s the franchise he is he 21 what he 21 or 221 but I would blend what you’re saying because I think that these last eight if they turn into nine or 10 or Heck if
You’re lucky enough to get to game 11 which means you get at least four more like I I would argue that that we can experience that but those those games while experiencing them there’s two things happening at once there’s what you’re talking about which is the effort
To actually win and go make noise into the playoffs but that also is unquestionably linked to then what you do next so I I’m suggesting you you have the conversation about the off season based on actually diving into these next eight games like this is you want to
Call it an audition or whatever whatever like um go down in a blaze of glory as the great John Bon Joi said so Willard are you alluding you think Joe the great Joe lob still eyin may not know which direction he’s going and it’s kind of
Still up in the air all depending on these next 8 n 10 or 14s well I think that they always you’re always you’re always living hell they call themselves light years right so you’re you’re you’re if you’re a front office you’re always living a year two three in
Advance to watch the 40 ners right now are getting ready for Brock P’s contract even though it won’t even happen for two more years before he’s actually being paid that money so you’re always living ahead and I’m sure that they have an idea of what they think is going to
Happen but then it can get messed up I mean if the Warriors win two playing tournament games and then you’re suddenly sitting there getting ready for game six against the Nuggets you might have a very very different perspective over what that group or specific players
Are are able to to do and so yeah the changes could be smaller if that happens but if you just grab the 10 seed and go lose in La two weeks from tomorrow night I like you got to swing big and I don’t I I very M I’m sort of with you
Emotionally FP I I hate the idea of trading Jonathan kaminga to do but someone’s got to explained to me about they lose if they lose in LA in 15 days explain to me how you’re going to get your roster better with without doing that well what about
The idea that you wouldn’t just be trading kaminga you might be trading the 2026 your 2026 first round pick and your 2028 first round pick if you have to like yeah see I and I’m I’m just being totally honest the idea of of being depleted of some draft picks when
Steph’s not here that’s that scares me it’s bad because that’s but I I’ve always thought you could have Zach Edy with one of those picks you could you could have him let’s let’s define what a big change would be to me if Klay walks that’s a big change just because he’s
Clay it’s a big change but isn’t an improvement well how how do you get better if all the only thing that happens is Clay walks out the door I get there’s two different things here there’s making moves and getting better but I guess what I’m saying is if if
They flame out then to me if they let clay walk that would be a big change it means they’re walking from one of their their main guys I would say kaminga would be a big change uh Draymond would be a big change and Wiggins I’m not sure
About but I’m gonna put him into the big change because he was a champion player here dude you get rid of those guys I’m not buying a ticket I’m not going to a game you wouldn’t get rid of all of them I’m just saying if you get rid of all
Those guys I’m not going to a game I don’t care who you get who’s coming back I don’t know it’s just that didn’t sound very appealing to me I’m not going to a Warriors game if you get get rid of kaminga Draymond you’re going get me excited
About who they get for it’s a faceless nameless return you know what I mean I don’t know what if Tyrese Maxi’s on the team what all right well but he’s better player than Andrew Wiggins is right now no question about that I know well we just went 15 rounds uh with 12 round
Steiny said Can Steph Curry be your best player and you still win an NBA title I said yes and I’m not just saying that cuz I got Curry underwear on FP I still feel like he’s a top 10 top 15 player it’s what’s around your shirt says Stu
We trust it’s around him shout out Sheed Warriors world but I mean how would you guys answer that question um he has not fallen off I don’t want to lead the witness but he has not fallen off the face of the Earth what’s around him is what I’m focused
On can he be the best player on a championship team um I I I would answer that by saying what’s the space between him and number two what would you say that is now is fluctuate right we don’t know On Any Given night the space is too large right
Now okay and there you go the space is too large right now like that that’s problem that second that’s like going well sha was the best player on the championship team and Kobe was the second best player like yeah there there’s there’s too much on his shoulders right now well like if they
Got LeBron in here and somehow could get LeBron and still keep kaminga I’ve made it clear I’d be for that I’ll go to that game who’s who’s the one who’s the two who cares exactly like like when Durant was here you know who you know what and
War fans I hate this you know who the one is it’s LeBron because he’ll handle the ball most of the time in that scenario making most of the decisions you’ve got a guy in Steph who can play with the ball and without the ball so LeBron they would change the way they
Played if they got LeBron I’ll bet you that wow so that that’s the only thing I’d Advocate is if you could get a theoretical Big Boy in here and keep kaminga I just don’t know how that happens I don’t know yeah it’s a million dollar question I mean they’re they’re
They’re really good at uh at pulling rabbits out of their out of their hat you know what I mean if you could sign Jimmy G from field six throwing footballs into a garbage can and then he’s your starting quarterback you can do anything yeah I’m going give you a
Three that that’s what happened we don’t need you can I read some numbers to you you two guys cuz I ran B I don’t get worried it’s only five games for the Giants but I just want to read some Bullpen numbers to you 18 Innings pitched earn runs four homers 11
Walks nothing to see here cuz when you got two starters coming back you can bump one of the starters or the fing to the bullpen it life is about good friends and having a good Bullpen and right now it seems like the Giants don’t have the good Bullpen or nothing to see
Here it’s too early goo I don’t have either I’ve been waiting on you I don’t have either good friends or a good Bullpen you got good friends have nothing but good friends so many people in that phone every single day we’ll be in the other room with FP is in hey do
You want to have this person on B I was at his wedding 3 weeks ago like I mean just constant yeah I didn’t I didn’t love the I didn’t love the fact if I’m being 100% honest that a guy that was a career minor leager made his debut
Against the heart of the Dodgers order last night in a 4-run game I don’t care what the reports were on Triple A he’s 15 and0 whatever he was he’s throwing 95 that’s a tough place to make your debut and a big game even though it’s only
Game what five of the Season who would you what picture did you want to put in a-listers man it’s the Dodgers let’s go it was it was still within Grand Slam range at that point when Solair made the biggest BL base running blunder I’ve seen in a while down by four runs that
Was bad oh go hands D you’re listening to 957 the game kgmz FM at HD1 San Francisco always live on the free Odyssey app twitch and YouTube powered by first NorCal credit I I would say you’re not too early to express concern about the bullpen because the bull pin
As I’ve always said is exactly like an offensive line in football you’re going to get no attention to it but it’s why you win and and so they they’ve got to be very good and you can say oh but Snell and Cobb are coming what do you
Think is going to happen when Snell and Cobb get here wow I’ll tell you they’re going to throw five innings which means four Innings half Rogers we need you yeah half the game is going to go to these other guys and they’ve got to be
Good they have to be good or or else the giant season is not going to go well and and we’re still getting to know who these people are dude I bullpens are bullpens man you could Tinker with Bullpen you got someid in double A that throws 100 that’s a starter they better
Be good so no big they better be good it’s not that bad the one thing I would want to be my deficiency in April is my Bullpen because you could if you’re a president of baseball operations or GM and you know anything about baseball you
Can fix a I don’t disagree but it has to be good that’s the easiest fix but it has to be good yeah it does especially in the best division in baseball the reason the Dodgers with all their dominance in the last 12 years have onethird of a Championship is because
They’ve never had a great Bullpen or they’ve made weird moves with that Bullpen like what is Jak Roberts doing right now they’ve always had a great lineup they’ve always had starting pitching they don’t have a great Bullpen so they get a third of a championship like that that yeah that’s
Got to be good I think that I don’t think it’s too early for Giants frustrations at all the last team I was with on a daily basis won a World Series with a bad Bullpen and they they pieced it together in the playoffs with starting pitching out of their Bullpen
But they just they just duct tape bailing wire Crazy Glue Gorilla Glue figured out the bullpen throughout the season I’d argue that’s a one-off then and they won a World Series majority of the teams have win a World Series I mean there was a trade at the deadline to get
A doitt and an Anderson and some big picturers and all of a sudden you got three new pieces in your Bullpen that weren’t there at the trade deadline for some like Bine F I’m not saying you can’t fix it I’m just saying in the end
It’s got to be good ites you know I mean the giants three championships we when you like you could close your eyes and you knew exactly who was going to pitch the sixth and the seventh and the eighth and the ninth and the after fifth Game of the Year you
Knew that no that’s what I’m saying I’m not arguing that this is like I’m talking about bullpens in general yeah I I think as a manager I’m feeling out my lineup right now I’m feeling out my Bullpen right now and I’m seeing who gets the the a Innings who gets the B
Innings and I always think the B Bullpen is more important than the a bullpen because if I’m going to come from behind and we’re down by two you got to keep it at two but if a two-run deficit goes to four or five runs we’re not coming back
So the beat Bullpen that keeps me in the game where I can snatch a win in the seventh eth or ninth is every bit important so right now if you’re Bob Melvin and you’re new to an organization you’re feeling out your lineup who’s comfortable where who’s comfortable
Hitting behind who and I think I’m hoping Tyro moves up a little bit somewhere down the road but Bob’s figuring all this out that’s what April’s for without getting too far behind or getting buried in a division you’re trying to find the rhythm of your lineup in the rhythm of your Bullpen and
Who fits where what piece fits where who can handle the big eighth inning who can handle the big seventh inning when we’re ahead by two on the road against the Dodgers like I think I got an idea but there’s no bright lights in a third deck
In spring training it doesn’t go on the back of your baseball card in Scottdale it does now so you’ll see guys have great Springs and all of a sudden it counts and they go oh God it counts and this is Dodger Stadium and the organ’s really loud it’s the Dodgers and that’s
Freddy freaking Freeman and oh my God so what a line he’s freaking I know right I’ve never seen M pets this hot dude it’s like watching The Warriors with Durant where what it’s good for you you love it but it’s like this is a joke no it’s it’s super frustrating to root
Against it’s super frustrating to root against it’s hard to root against it’s really hard M yeah Mook is just a great great player but it’s very very frustrating to watch your favorite team try to pitch to this group it’s incredibly frustrating but what I also found frustrating last night was you sat
Down and you watched that thing and you went so this is this is game five and this is the first Giants Dodgers game of the year this renewed excitement around the Giants I had a hard time finding on my television set it felt very very reminiscent suddenly to the last two
Years in terms of vibe and in terms of the way the Dodgers go about beating you which is after three Innings it’ll be one- nothing and you’re like okay we you’re still no no comes the lineup again and then it’s three nothing and then they come around again and then
It’s 5 nothing and then you’re sitting there in the seventh inning just hoping that it doesn’t become embarrassing and then it’s like okay is it 8 to3 or do you end up with one of those deani games where it ends up 14 to2 but the Solair
Base running move that’s why it was so big I know it was one but that was bad you could have killed the rally down by four that can’t happen you can’t happen can happen but we’re also acting like the next guy was definitely going to hit a three run home
Yeah cair’s had that’s what you were talking about the other day with and I don’t know if cair fits the category but you learn that stuff in the he do it’s time a game it’s when to take a chance it’s when not to take a chance that’s not M Williams fault at all
Because if I’m base running there down by Fort Station to Station we just need base runners I don’t need to advance to third there you just need more guys on you keep the line moving yeah and the one thing I will say and this might get an eye roll from you
Guys and people listening to their cars but when you face a guy like Paxton last night and he walks six guys those are the hardest at bats for a hitter because it’s a snowball fight he throws one at your head and then he paints on the
Black then he walks three guys in a row then he paints three on the black to you so guys that the term effectively wild when you’re facing a guy and you don’t know where it’s going and all of a sudden it’s two and0 and then he paints
And it’s two and one and he throws one at your head and then three and two he paints on the black and then at the 3-2 pitch he throws a nasty hammer for strike three and you’re like wait you didn’t know where it was going 40
Seconds ago and now you’re pain so he was doing that last he’s throwing 95 he walked everybody he was behind everybody when we had to make a pitch he had to make a pitch and what that’ll do for a hitter is it’ll get you on your heels
Because whatever your game plan is like I’m sitting on a fast ball middle way and if that dude throws it I’m smoking in the right center field Gap and that’s my game plan tonight and you got a solid game plan because you watch video for an hour before the game and dude never
Throws a ball in the place you’re looking for cuz he doesn’t even know where it’s going those are the tough nights I think that’s you know who you just described is it a fear yeah Blake Snell exactly right you can’t have you can’t have a game plan against guys like that it’s just
Like is it a fear that you may get hit or is it just I don’t know where the ball going I don’t know where it’s going so as a Big League hitter you want to have a game plan like what’s a good at bat a good at bat is having a game plan
The on Deck Circle getting in the batter’s box and following through with your plan because a lot of times when you go from that on deex Circle to the batter’s box that little man in your head starts talking to you real fast you’re like I’m sitting on a fast ball
Middle of way what and you get in the box and you’re like well maybe a bun good right here or what about a fastball middle L I think he’s coming fastball middle L and that guy’s talking to you he’s talking to your head he’s in your
Head so a good at bad is in front of 50,000 people at Dodger Stadium and you have a game plan is sticking with that game plan the whole that b even it means getting to two strikes and you still haven’t got the pitch you’re sitting on because there’s two there’s two counts
To hit in baseball two strikes and less than two strikes and with less than two strikes why would you swing at anything other than what you’re looking for two strikes you got to stick your nose in the dirt and battle but until you get the two strikes I’m looking for one
Pitch in one spot and if it’s there I’m getting off my a swing I’m a pitch I’m barreling something but when you have a guy that’s just a big tall Lefty that’s throwing 95 and doesn’t know where it’s going now I don’t have a game plan and
That’s frustrating it is you know how good the Dodgers are feel me well they’ve owned the division for the last decade the runner up in the Sai Young race will start against them tonight versus TD undecided oh yeah I got you and the Dodgers are a minus 145 I got
You man they’re throwing we don’t know against one of the best pitchers in the National League in Vegas is like you’re not just a favorite you’re a heavy favorite Vegas is like hey we got going 15 rounds that’s what Vegas is saying you’re going to earn your money tonight
Going against this lineup we could have Bugs Bunny throwing no hey we got showy on our side we got showy on our side hey we got showy showy told us he’s going to try 145 would you uh real quick what you think of those women’s games last night
Did you watch any of them oh my God we were we watched the first half while we were sitting here doing it was incredible that was some of the that was one of the most like I would how here’s how I I would describe it that was one of the best paced sporting
Watches that first half was inred that I think I’ve seen in this calendar year yeah that was good I mean Caitlyn Clark which one would you want on the on the WNBA team you can have any of this would you want Caitlyn I want her in the
Warriors next year do you know what stuns you if you if if you haven’t watched Caitlyn Clark play everybody knows that she can hit ridiculous three-point shots the way that woman runs a game like a complete quarterback her passing ability her Court Vision she was man the whole thing looks more wide open
When she’s got the ball there’s so much going on I never found when she had the ball in her hand it was it was just exciting whether she shot it or not did you see her walk-off interview at halftime no she couldn’t even breathe she’s
Like you never see that in the NBA right when they when they’re talking to somebody on the way into halftime that’s how hard she was playing she couldn’t breathe they’re like well I’ll let you catch your breath she’s like yeah that was great for time I’m like d damn she’s
Playing hard man it was awesome was great what did you guys think I thought it was awesome I I really like the juju Watkins from USC like she’s got a game oh gosh yeah it was that was that was that was a tough ending watching her walk off the I mean just a
Freshman she’s going she’s good but it was a Steph Curry uh experience for me watching her shoot and it was incredible it was breathtaking and it was incredibly difficult and unfortunate to watch Kim Moi lose I thought that sucked gamer I thought her team came apart a
Little bit at the end she well they had those girls do have a lot of emotion on their shoulders like the fact like Angel after the game with that press conference and saying that she has not been happy since they won the National Championship because of everything that
Gets pointed at her and thrown at at all of them I that that stinks I like her I I I got nothing against any of those players then they could have won it as long as Moy could have gotten the loss on 957 the game they’re longtime friends let me
Tell you something real quick about dibs that I’m sure not everybody knows and first time Partners hang in there big guy there’ll be Bri days ahead now these two homegrown Bay Area boys finally come together to take over Sports Talk get the hell off of my doorstep Major League Baseball you steam
It’s Willard and dibs on 957 the game yeah man get in here fp’s in for dibs again dibs will be back tomorrow um unless unless we tell them to stay home because uh we’re having a good time with FP um but welcome youall in um 888 957
9570 yeah I I think it’s about Jonathan kaminga that’s what I think I know that we want to focus on the big three I get it um but um let’s be real The Big Three As I said last week it doesn’t really exist it doesn’t exist in the form that
We’ve known it to exist in the past anyway if Jonathan kaminga is still on the team next year he’s one of your best three players right yes he might be your second best player yes he might be trending someday soon being your first best player yes okay so that means that
The big three is no longer The Big Three there’re not the three best players on the team right and you’re about to say trade them no I’m not I hope they don’t I want to get that out front okay good I hope Jonathan kaming is on the team I
Find him to be a fascinating exciting player um I was admittedly a little bit bit late to the party I wanted to deal him for Drew holiday in the offseason last offseason um but I’ve I I like the guy I like the guy I we’ve been waiting for
The growth that we have seen now in the last three months and now I really really like the guy and so I very much hope he’s on the Golden State Warriors that said I just want to point out that while we’re all talking about if things
Don’t go great for the Warriors over the next two weeks oh big changes big changes you can have big changes but you know that’s that whole John Wooden thing remember like there’s a lot of activity but you’re doing nothing yeah that’s that’s what the Warriors would do right
Now if it’s like well yeah Chris Paul will be gone and Klay Thompson will be gone and uh maybe trade Wiggins okay great what what that’s a lot of activity but you’re doing you’re doing nothing how are you actually getting better I would argue that right now this gold
State Warriors team if you are of the mind at the end of the regular season that there are big changes necessary someone someone explained to me how you do that without trading Jonathan kaminga that’s the only way you’re going to get a big return right what if I told you if
You just took out all the drama they’re a five or six seed right now I don’t think if you took out all the Real Housewives of Golden State Warriors drama that we’ve seen over the last two years and they just played basketball I don’t think I’d believe you you don’t
Think they’re they’re good enough if Draymond was there for all the the indefinite suspension that he had and getting ejected you you you took all that out and and he played basketball and you took the all the drama that these guys have had to deal with besides
Playing they lost one of their coaches this year he died right in front of them MH um kaminga killed Joel embiid he’s just he’s coming back tonight well he’s not coming back tonight he’s close but he messed up his I mean there’s been so much drama all season long like if you
Take all that out you still think they’re a 10 seed what I’m saying right now might sound really stupid but I don’t think they have to make too many changes I don’t think it’s blow it up and and I’m not saying run it back like we’re talking about with the ners but
I’m saying if you take all the drama out and you just play basketball and there’s a way to do that that this is a pretty damn good team but they have had to deal with a lot self-inflicted and otherwise this year which has made them inconsistent and
It’s why they’re a tened I have multiple questions to answer your question go ahead first question do you really believe that this group of people and players are capable yes of going through a season without Drama Oh I thought you were going to say winning
Uh yeah I mean you said it yourself that a lot of it is self-inflicted it is Wiggins didn’t come to camp in shape if if he if and he and he went away for family reasons again I forgot about that part yeah it was only four games still
Though still that’s a lot one game is a lot when you’re getting paid that much money and you’re playing at the highest level and you’re trying to win a championship missing one game for personal reasons is a lot so four in a week is a lot I’m sorry and and I’m not
Saying that he didn’t and it wasn’t Justified I’m just saying that’s a lot well I I I guess this is what it sounds like to me and kaminga saying that he needs to play I mean to take all out sure but that’s but that’s a normal flow of a basketball
Season been above and beyond the last couple years these guys if what you’re saying is it’s like you know the Warriors would be good if Wiggins would be focused and if Draymond would behave well for godsakes I mean we’ve been doing that their entire careers I don’t
Think those are reasonable ifs so I don’t like to say that this group can just have just play basketball just forget the drama I don’t think they’re capable I just think when you start making changes to make changes and obviously you want to get better in these trades that were kind of playing
With right now that you got to be careful that all of a sudden you lose your identity and you just get a bunch of pieces and now you’re playing with a bunch of pieces that don’t know how to play together maybe and there’s an adjustment period where you already some
Pretty damn good pieces right now that have either underperformed for whatever reason and one guy’s like coming into his own and kaminga I I just I don’t I think you tweak I don’t think you blow it up the other thing you said and this is my next
Question you said don’t you think if they just played basketball and forgot all the drama don’t you think they’re a five or six seed is that the goal that may it be a lot easier to be a 10 seed and sure and I know we’re all spoiled
Here and we want parades on Market Street every year and we think they grow on trees on Market Street is there trees on Market fake on yeah there’s some there’s some plants out there we think those things are easy around here those parades no they’re not they’re not but
But I’m just trying to get into the brain of Steph Curry that’s all all of us are really trying to do aren’t we at the end of all of this when you’ve got your Superstar player and whether it’s direct or indirect um the decisions made surrounding an organization are kind of
Based on on him not solely him but that’s the straw that stir the drink so his opinion matters um his age matters his abilities matter everything if that’s the eye of the storm is is Steph Curry well we’re trying to get in in his brain and I wonder if his brain with how
Many years left three I wonder if his brain is sitting there going man I hope we could be the five seed again in my career I think his brain is over draymond’s Antics maybe I think his brain is over all the the drama I think if if Steph was sitting here having a
Beer and you were his best friend and he knew it was off the Record he’d tell you I’m dude I just want to go win I just want to play all this other crap C I’m so over it and I think there’s a lot of guys probably in that locker room that
Would say the same I bet you if you ask clay over a beer he’s like the most mellow dude in the world right Fierce between the lines or on the court I guarantee you he’d sit here and say like yeah I’m over all this I just want to I
Just want number five I just want to win and and and he might talk about his contract and the owner and where we’re going with that too and and he’s telling me one thing and doing another thing and you’d hear some things off the Record that’ probably be super interesting but
I I think the if you like a Anonymous poll in that locker room right now with coaches included they’re over all this drama and they just want to play basketball and they just want to win yeah but how do you do both of those things that’s always been the question
With this particular group how how do you just go drama free and go win because the drama if in this particular case what you’re talking about is represented by Draymond Green there’s been other drama too yeah wigg is had his share even though it’s it’s family and everyone’s got a tiptoe around it
Cuz it’s family he still wasn’t there okay so get those two off of the team in form of a trade what are you getting back and are you now going to go win I just I I don’t know yeah yeah I I mean it’s fun to talk about but like I said
In our little handoff thingy is is that what you call the handoff thingy it is now the tell I don’t know what it’s it’s the hand off thing we call it the crossover but I hesitate to say that to you hand because I like it better when
You call it the handoff the handoff thingy very suggestive but we don’t have a handoff thingy because we’re the last show right correct so there’s no hand off at the end of our show we hand it off to Grandy right and he does an hour
Of of you know of of the best of the of all of the handoff Grandy in here for the handoff absolutely no I just I’m focused on these games I I’m excited but they they’s such a roller coaster in an S show at times this year where you’re like they’re great they’re
Go yeah this is they’re going to make one more run and the next game you’re like what are they doing tonight is what are you even doing tonight is a classic example of what you’re talking about I can already tell you what’s going to happen tomorrow they’re going to blow a
Big lead and lose to the Mavericks tonight no I can’t tell you what’s going to happen tonight I I’m done predicting Warrior games but I can tell you what’s going to happen tomorrow one of two things there are only two things that can happen tomorrow if the Warriors beat
The Dallas Mavericks tonight at Chase Center it will stir up feelings inside people who follow the Warriors that they can still win a damn Trophy this year if they lose that will stir up the exact opposite of they can’t win at home this is a complete charade that we’re all
Having all year long I don’t know why we’ve been taken on this journey it’s like we’re totally myopic what on Earth those are your two options there’s no in between which is where life exists but that’s that’s what being a fan is about and that’s fine I’m
Not here to rip it I’m just sitting here telling you that like what the dynamic you’re talking about is classically triggered by this game tonight this type of game right good team good team home game yeah key moment opportunity if you win it it’s going to
Feel like when you beat the Bucks two three weeks ago if you lose it it’s going to be shrug shoulder man we not good enough well you know what’s weird I always felt like the routine as an athlete was better at home because you know you’re in your car you’re in your
Bed you know you you reintroduce yourself to your family when you come back from a road trip and especially dog cuz your dog’s like where you been dude I don’t even know who you are anymore and then and then you have your routine and your locker and then you have your
Fans that give you energy like we in end at the end of a season when you’re Dragon you feed off that en you pull on that energy and then their record at home is it’s below 500 right is what is it 18 and 19 18 and 19 yeah it’s below I
Don’t understand that 22 and 15 on the road and every time I’ve been there it’s loud and the fans are I I don’t know is are they too comfortable at home is it too nice at home it this one is a bigger mystery to me than what was happening
Last year when they literally were disallowed from winning a road game right this is this is so mysterious and and you know last year as it turns out there was an answer we just weren’t given that answer until the year was over which is that I think that this
Team had a hard time last year getting along so you all get on the road together and there’s tension and that became problematic for them when they were away from home home uh this year there there’s not an answer that makes sense you can’t that there’s nothing you
Could say that’d be like oh oh that’s why they’re not good at home I don’t think an answer exists it’s quirky it’s odd they’ve lost some tough games yeah but come on I mean that’s that’s loser talk that’s right that’s the NBA the games are close most of the time with
Five minutes to go well I mean whatever happens happen like like I said focus on these last games and and then and then take a deep breath and and detox and make decisions I think any like Brian Sabian used to come on the air all the time when he get
In fights with people on the radio and he say judge me by my body of work and I’m a firm believer in that that you wait till the season’s over you wait till every leaf has fallen off the tree you sit down you have a really nice
Bottle of wine you decompress for a month and then you make decisions because you take all the emotion out of it if you try to start like planning for next year right now for the in your and you’re done leaving like no this let this thing play out and that’ll all
Happen how it’s going to happen and you’ll figure things out when you take the emotion out of it but that’s got to go both directions you said Jonathan kaming is Untouchable he is well that means you’ve already made a decision no I I made that decision I’m not the GM
I’m a fan do you understand what I mean like you can’t say that either then you’ve got to wait and let it play out and see a month after the season’s over how you feel right there’s certain guys you know are Untouchable in an organization no there’s a certain guy
Certain but I will say this too there’s no such thing as Untouchable in any sport any player because if I’m if I’m going to push my chips in and you’re going to give me what I want there there’s a legendary story about Bryce Harper on the trading table for
Seven of the top prospects with the Houston Astros and the the front office went to ownership and said we’re getting all we’re getting guys that throw a 100 we’re getting three first round whatever it was and they just got like green and said no no no the the fans the fans did
They really yeah so like that everybody’s on the table for a trade I if you’re doing your due diligence as a front office yeah everybody no Steph Curry is not on the table all right we’ll take it take him out he’s on the table but everybody but him okay guys
Let’s just put this way thinking about it on live radio guys that you wouldn’t think are on the table always sure I get that that’s the nature of the Beast If Logan Webb at the trade deadline and I can get what I want for Logan web I’m telling
You I wish you could I wish we could be a fly on the wall for the talks understand just because you’re talking to a team about them doesn’t mean you pull the trigger on it but all some some dumb GM goes yeah I’ll give you like
Four first round picks for Logan we and they’re all good okay you’re like you know trade Turner like there there’s examples of like if you can if you can make a great trade and you feel like you’re just ripping somebody off you do it so we agree then that Jonathan kaminga is not
Untouchable uh say it I I I say it from a fan standpoint I love the guy fine is he T I’m like one of his biggest fans and I think he’s Dominique Wilkins part two is he Touchable I mean you you can see you can see but it would have to just blow me away for me to think about that uhhuh we’re sponsored by O’Reilly Auto Parts yeah isn’t that what we’re doing here the next eight games is Jonathan kaminga Untouchable or
Not we’ll take some calls on it and 8957 9570 what Tim kakami said about available moves for the Warriors yesterday on this show we’ll have that for you next as well FP in for dibs this is wither and dibs replace your worn out brakes and save now on break best select break best

Very distracting I you have to find a good middle ground to find a good middle ground when I first started this business I was so sensitive and I’d read like every article about the baseball team but always evolve into how bad the new announcer is and how terrible I was
And that I was so insecure and finally I just I am so desensitized to all that you have to get there that’s a part of the process fine I sometimes I like it and I one of my favorite things is uh one guy just said like the the Nats
Broadcaster is such a effing douchebag okay and so I tweeted at him he had a military like his profile was in like fatigues and I said thank you for your service and that guy he was a oh I already know what he did did he he
Flipped yeah we’re friends he’s a he’s a helicopter pilot a marine helicopter pilot he flies hu’s and he actually moved from Atlanta to DC and we became good friends after calling me a a douchebag with of it on Twitter and I just said thank you for your service that’s all you got
To do yeah yeah so it’s cool we know this about all of you I know you try to get to us you’re much more impressionable than we are that’s just a truth that’s the experience 90% of the time you loser you suck you got your opinions blah blah blah you go find them

Drink yeah I think cheers I I’ve I’ve deferred some like physical confrontations in bars at times and say hey let’s just do a shot together okay and then that ends it all it’s like onire saying that’s way more fun than getting into a fight missed the call
What you say like let’s rip a shot together they’re like okay like I got you let’s go this is silly and then just way more fun it’s like when you road rage like you’re like you’re down the road 10 minutes later and you forgot all about it but at that one moment you
Really want like just like yeah road rage is some of the most fascinating human behavior I think that’s out there I a I’m a I’m a road rager by myself in the car if there’s anybody else in the car I’m not a road rager oh right like
If there was a hidden camera in my car at times you would think bat ass crazy no you would never do it with another person I never do it with other people that’s my point I hold it in you would also never do it if you weren’t
Surrounded by the car yeah like get caught off in the grocery store buy a cart the Costco in San Francisco is it’s like grocery shopping Darwinism they just cut you off and they don’t care and there’s no traffic twice the size of a normal cart oh that that
Well let’s just can I just get all this out right now get it out when when five people take up the whole sidewalk and they’re all in the single file line and they’re just like taking up the whole sidewalk and you can’t pass them or the diagonal Walker that’s on their phone
And there it’s like they’re drunk driving but they’re walking on the sidewalk and I’m trying to jog around them okay I’m done now no you shouldn’t be what you just described happened to me on the way to the office yesterday I’m walking down the street I won’t say
Which street in San Francisco I’m walking down the street and there are six people in suits across taking a selfie across the entire sidewalk and I’m like we’re good except for they needed 47 selfies I’m like time’s up people like people are diving out of the
Way getting into the street the cars are changing lanes and they had here’s the thing I got no problem if you do that but then notice that you’re doing it and go oh hey guys we should notice that people are now flying into the streets and cars are swerving out of the way
Because we’re blocking the sidewalk to this day FP they’re listening to us right now they have no idea we’re talking about them yep no clue none yeah just don’t don’t take up the whole sidewalk like stagger your party of seven like two aware maybe two two
And three just be because you can still hear them just don’t walk across the whole sidewalk so it’s like it’s like the kickoff team coming at me or walking the other way um let’s go to Kevin and bront hi Kevin what are you doing hi U doing well um I think it’s very
Entertaining actually to the talk about the road rage and whatnot um I I found I find that very entertaining have youever have you ever pulled your car over and gotten out and beaten the crap out of somebody you ever killed somebody I I I can’t drive I can’t see
Oh well there you go that takes that out of place nobody likes a quitter all right bless you Kevin for having a laugh with us whoops yeah yeah well I’ve actually I’ve been that angry but not about that okay so anyway but um anyway um what I was goingon to say
About kaminga is I just don’t see how if if Curry it’s really going to be up to Curry and management as to whether or not they want to win quickly and and it doesn’t guarantee anything but whether they want to win quickly and and want to even have a halfway decent
Chance of getting back to finals because I don’t see kaminga fitting into that timeline at all and so definitely I think they need to be they need to package him if they’re going to win right now package him along with I don’t know if there’s even takers for Wiggins
And and draft picks to to to move on off of uh and and actually get an impact player because my my comment over and over throughout this year has been that they have to get another impact player that uh Klay Thompson used to be that player but he’s not that player anymore
And and through no fault of his own so even if he comes back next year and they want to pay the price that’s not going to change anything they have to get another impact player it there needs to be a robin to go with Curry’s Batman in
Order to get to that level again and and one other thing as far as keeping kaminga long term I I don’t know I’ve had knee problems in my life I I had my uh I sever severed my quadriceps tendon in half a long time ago and I’m very
Fortunate I was very fortunate to have a great surgeon to reattach that thing and they had to pull it all the way back up through my leg and reattach it and I I still have my original quarters tended and and all I’m saying is once you have
Tendonitis in your knees and and this guy jumps out of the building lands on his legs all the time I don’t think he’s going to have a long-term career if he’s already having tendonitis and so that would be another reason while his price and trade value is high move him on and
Get that player to go along go along with curry yeah Kevin thanks man thanks for having a good time with us I like that I don’t know how to handle that last part other than that to say I mean we asked doc pandia that exact question
Last week we’ll ask him again today he’s on with us here in about an hour and a half and um he expressed zero concern whatsoever about kaminga in his knees so I’m I’m not worried about that the other part of what Kevin’s talking about is clearly the rub this is the the Golden
State Warriors organizational rub if you really want get to it we get to a thousand different angles about the Warriors to me this is the rub and it is does Jonathan kinga’s Ascension match Steph Curry’s descension that’s the rub that’s that’s the entire rub as to whether or not whatever Steph’s got left
And whatever that direction is whatever that timeline is does Jonathan kinga’s rise m Steph Curry’s fall is he old enough is he good enough is it all happening fast enough it has started to accelerate so that’s great I think that’s made it a healthy discussion if
You’d asked me this in December I’d have told you the Warriors probably got to move kaminga and do something for the remainder of Steph Curry’s career because he’s not it now I’m on the fence I’m hoping he’s it but is it going to rise fast enough to where he’s truly a
Dynamic damic gamechanging type player in the time span that Steph has left and if he’s not hey dubs how you going to handle it that’s to me that’s the rub that’s the rub if you’re going to quote maximize the remainder of Steph Curry’s career you got to answer the question
About whether or not Jonathan kaminga can do that well I would just say based on the Improvement the last two months two and a half months I I don’t know that I can remember anybody improving that much that quick whether it was talks behind the scene with Steve CT it
All coincided with when he came out and said I should be playing more and I don’t know when I’m why I’m being taken out of the game and and he came out publicly and said that and I remember doing a show here saying I want him to
Say that but I want him to say it behind closed doors I want him to come into my office if I’m if I’m the coach and I’m the head coach and say like look I want to play more I want all my players to want to play more the the worst thing
You could have is guys that are okay with sitting on the bench I don’t want it’s just how you handle but don’t you think he probably said that a 100 times behind closed doors before he called Shams you know what I mean I don’t know
That and I’m not going to assume that I just think it was a young player making a mistake going public with something that should have been kept private but ever since then it was addressed and his improvements been off the charts yeah it started the conversation that I think
Steve finally listened to and and part of his Ascension has just been opportunity don’t you think I think it’s opportunity and also being way more coachable than he was in the past and being open to being coached and not thinking he knows everything and all of a sudden you got
I’m playing I’m gaining confidence I don’t have to look over my shoulder that I’m going to get pinch hit for like we were talking about with the platoon thing yesterday I’m I don’t have to look over my shoulder every time the buzzer sounds and I’m coming out of the game
Because maybe I did something stupid there’s so many things that we don’t know about on how is how he practiced and how he handled himself in the lock room and all the other things that go into it we just see game time so the fact that he’s
Evolved so quickly and he’s becoming one of one of their best players and a guy that I just generally love watching play Fearless he’s Fearless like that those are things you can’t teach like he’s Fearless he’s not afraid to go right at you his jump shots developing his
Defense is developing um his rebounding could get better I mean what do I know but I’m just saying like I think he’s just on the verge if he keeps trending this way like a stock we talked about it yesterday that he’s going to be their
Guy and I I would I wouldn’t even think about trading him for one second okay great is he getting better fast enough yes I I just said like I’ve never seen anybody like improve that quickly in the course of a season okay going from I
Think it was a haircut too by the way I left that out when he got the haircut got the haircut got the haircut it was like on I think all you kids listen right now go get a haircut get a haircut you get three hits tonight in Little
League boy I I drive by a high school and just yell it out the window get a haircut there’s so many mullets the mullet is back the mop and the mullet is absolutely crushing the uh the the the teenage world I went to the campolindo game I was talking about everybody had
Mullets yeah the kids like the mullet out the back it’s a baseball player look get a haircut kids it is it was a bad look in the 80s the first time around it was a bad look but I also feel old saying that I don’t I don’t I don’t like looking at uh
At you know I don’t like looking at Logan web got one have you seen it I know I don’t like looking at my teenage son and being like I don’t like the way you look yeah clean it up that’s just like clean up God could you be older
Oh but uh but anyway yeah Jonathan kaminga is had a fantastic second half of the season I I like what steiny said I want LeBron cut that goe I want LeBron Steph and kaminga like that’s who I want next year and then just figure the rest
Out how the hell are you going to do that I don’t know just go down there a great question throw Le throw LeBron in the trunk and bring him up here like I don’t know yeah I got showy and I got friends that can get LeBron here
Whenever we want we can get him up here I just um I don’t see how they’re going to do what uh what we all want them to do um Tim kokami joined us yesterday TK pod is available um through the the the Odyssey Family and on our YouTube page um
Okay so which one is it here yeah the bottom one what’s available to the Warriors this off season Tim Cami I think Chris Paul coming back is now very dwindling chances of that happening that’s a contract that would just disappear uh Klay Thompson they will not
Be signing for $40 million I’ll tell you that and if he does it will not be with Warriors it might be half of that uh I think those are two easy things for them say that’s those are two big ch right you know to not bring back those two
Players would be large or to bring back clay at a low number I think gon Looney probably at this point I would not draw him uh down as being on the roster so just those three things would be interesting or they could possibly use the Chris Paul contract it’s non-
Guaranteed if the other team if you trade them to a team that guarantees it you can use it to try to acquire money back those are the easy things or maybe not easy those are the kind of the the workable thing okay that doesn’t change anything a Farhan laugh going there in
The middle of his his answer he did sound like far he sound like faran for a second then yeah those laughs mean it sort of means like I I don’t have the answer for you yeah it’s not something funny just happened it’s there’s no like everything that TK just said he’s
Right however does that make you better all right so clay Clay’s at 20 Chris is off the team Looney’s off the team talk to me what seed is that what me do you get you just take them off the team and nobody’s there they don’t have enough
Players they’re going to be the 40th Seas you’re not getting anything for that Chris is just walking Looney is basically being waved and Clay is now making half as much and you’re still over the tax I’m talk about who you signed who’s coming I don’t know how are you getting
Better you can’t just go shopping in the free agent Market how are you going to do it I already told you what I thought I think you just tweak I I don’t think I don’t think huge changes are necessary like things change from year to year right you got to get through yeah
Yeah I mean you get through to some people and talk to me about that who do they need to get through to and what do they need to say well I just Wiggins came in out of shape it seemed like and that’s what you were hearing the the
Rumors were and it took them a while to get into shape get through to Wiggins do you I mean walk across the room right here and just whack your head against the wall eight times that’s getting through to Wiggins I know what you’re going to say next let’s get Draymond to stop getting
Thrown out and suspended yes now go to the other side of the room whack the other side of your head against the wall eight times and and here you are and everybody’s ready to go after I whacked my head on the wall 16 times no they’re
Not they’re not I just I I I’m I’m NE never been a believer in just hodg podging it and there’s something sentimental in me I’ll say this as a fan that I I don’t like a lot of change like I don’t like guys it feels like it’s a
Costume and not a uniform when you have a bunch of different guys in a certain year like right now it’s taking me time to wrap my head around Solair and Chapman and and Amed at shortstop and all the new Giants like that’s going to take some time because you feel like
Right now it’s only games in the season they’re just they’re in a costume and it’s not their uniform totally and I and I think if the Warriors Tinker too much and I know they have to make adjustments and they’re a 10 seed the biggest adjustment I I would try to make is
Laying down the law about we’re just this isn’t our culture this drama crap and this reality TV show that was our season the last two years enough with that and however you do that and it it might take getting rid of some people okay but like that that
Part’s got to go away from me do you know and I know it’s the NBA and you’re like come on FP yeah do you know what I’d argue it is their culture it’s totally their culture it’s always been their culture when have the Warriors been drama free like remove the first championship
When they were all pups and outside of that tell me from the story of the 73 win season that does not end in a championship to signing Kevin Durant to fighting with Kevin Durant to um having David W say y all don’t even know what the hell we went through this year
There’s police outside the locker room in Oklahoma City right and then you’re going to go through the the KD and Klay Thompson injury years you’re going to come out the other side with Andrew Wiggins and Jordan pool for God’s sakes you’re going to win a championship you’re going to punch each other well
How about just last drama when the hell has this group not been filled with drama yeah but make change for change sake unless somebody’s an absolute cancer and they’re tearing apart your very fabric of what you believe in I think is dangerous and if somebody is a
Cancer I’m of the old school thought that I don’t care who they are and what they’ve done or how much they can help me if you’re tearing apart the fabric of what we need to do to win I got to move on from you yeah I get it I just if they
Finish in the 10 seed and get knocked out by the Lakers I don’t think you’re making change for change’s sake yeah I think you’re making change because this ain’t good enough you know what I mean um and that’s what they vowed to do we’re presented by Fremont Bank full
Service banking no compromises um 888 957 9570 is the number is Jonathan kaminga auditioning over these next eight games to be touchable or Untouchable also we got some things to get off our chest with regard to the San Francisco Giants already uh and we will do that coming up
Next fp’s in for dibs Willard and dibs I I I can’t drive I can’t see eBay Motors E He [Applause] Yeah [Applause] n great let’s drink now back to Willard and dibs on 957 the game yeah man cheers um although I will tell you you know 5:00 somewhere 6 o’clock somewhere 7 o’clock somewhere last night was a night that I thought I’d have been sitting down to get into it like let’s go this
Is a rub your hands together game for me it was only game five of the season but honestly like I I was excited the Giants are playing the Dodgers it is a new season it is a fresh start it is a new roster and I sat down and it it it
Failed to it failed to spark anything and it looked exactly the same um it’s a baseball game we’re five games in I know this whole thing’s going to evolve um and it’s no surprise that the Dodgers are fantastic and sure they’re probably going to finish ahead
Of the Giants in the standings like I wasn’t I wasn’t under some sort of a uh you know an idea that that that this was just going to look completely different but I’m not going to lie I found last night to be very very disappointing why multiple reasons it felt the same it
Felt totally overmatched it felt like the wrong people were in position at the wrong time it and and maybe more so it didn’t feel like everybody gathered around to go sweet Giants versus Dodgers let’s go like where was that I don’t know where the oomph was I
I I just it wasn’t there and and if that’s your debut like in theory that’s supposed to be the big reveal that’s supposed to be the excitement the curtain Rises on Giants Dodgers this brand new roster and they went out and it looked exactly the same as it has the
Last couple years which is the Dodgers just bleed you for about five or six Innings and then they get a big hit because they always get the big hit and then you look up in the seventh or eighth inning and they’ve got a six or
Seven an eight or a nine on the board if you’re lucky cuz sometimes it’s a 14 and um you whimper into the night and pictures you’ve never heard of are on the mound all right it’s good answer I’ll say this the Dodgers are really good
Back to you no but but it goes deeper than that we already knew that it go it goes deeper than that and in my experience you C can’t you can’t as a new player understand the significance of the Dodgers Giants rivalry until you experience it for
Yourself like I was lucky enough to grow up with it yeah so when the first time I did it I was like let’s go baby but Matt Chapman has no idea about Dodgers Giants Nick Amed has no idea about Dodger they know but they don’t know until you do it
And I feel like when when when it comes back North and the Dodgers are in your ballpark and you see the enthusiasm of Giants fans or the hatred they have if they’re there because the Dodger fans have been pretty prevalent the last couple of years and you you you when
I’ve experienced it at Candlestick the first time I was like oh damn this is what I thought it would be and La it’s just they it’s the fifth game it was the fifth game of the year to Nick ammed and Matt Chapman and Jorge Solair and any
Other new guy Jung Huli it was the fifth game of the year you have to grow into that Dodger rivalry thing the other thing is and these aren’t excuses this is fact the thing is with Paxton last night we talked about the handoff thingy is he’s effectively wild he’s throwing
One over the back stop and then paints away when guys are sprayers we call those guys sprayers when they’re sprayers it’s hard to execute your game plan when you get to the highest level you watch video you face a guy before you you have a game plan I’m sitting on
A pitch and you don’t ideally swing until you get that pitch but when a guy’s a sprayer you could go three at bats and never get the pitch you’re sitting on so your game plan’s kind of out the window you have like a night where you’re maybe swinging at things
You shouldn’t be swinging at he walks six guys like last night didn’t know where it was going but then he paint 95 on the black middle end and throw a nasty 3-2 hammer and he struck out I forget how many he struck out a lot of
Gu so these aren’t excuses I felt what you felt last night I didn’t feel as a fan watching on TV that it felt like Dodgers Giants it just didn’t there’s something missing what I think it is is all those things I’m saying it’s it’s maybe Bob Melvin figuring out his
Bullpen right now it’s maybe Bob Melvin figuring out the rhythm of his lineup after five games right now it’s so damn early that any big league manager that would come on this air right now it takes them a month to 40 games to figure out okay this is my life oh dude like
Like I I’m not freaking out it and and by no stretch did I expect oh I expect the Giants and Dodgers to be on even footing or now you know what in just listening to you talk what sort of resonated with me you know what just
Popped into my head you know it was disconcerting last night I think Giants fans sat down and they know the Dodger roster better than their own yeah that’s disconcerting well the Giants fans probably know the Rivalry better than half the guys that were on the field last night no doubt doubt that’s why
Maybe we were more fired up for that I was fired up I couldn’t wait yep I got a couch let’s go Giants Dodgers let’s it’s a good measuring stick I don’t care how early in the season it is it’s always a good measuring stick it’s always a good
Time to make a statement even if it is game five of the year not going to overreact they they come out win 10 to nothing tonight I don’t know but damn it if bets and Otani and fre fantastic and Will Smith is hitting 500 just like what
Are we no that’s a really they’re an absurd lineup and then they and then they set the table and and and teoscar Hernandez gets a hold of one and you’re done and the ball game’s over I’m glad Logan Webb is throwing tonight somebody who understands the whole thing but
That’s kind of what I’m getting at and I’m not mad at it because I’m glad the Giants have new players but we are still being introduced to this and it felt weird it did to sit down and you’re like I know the Dodger lineup and then you
Know the Giants get into the Bullpen and you’re just like this is part of the problem with the way the Giants have built this thing and part of me says okay you finally had a good offseason and fixed it and then the other part of me goes yeah but Matt Chapman and Blake
Snow might be off of the team next year too don’t worry about that yet well and I’m not worried about it but like put it this way does Jung hul Lee feel different than some of the other additions maybe it’s because he’s playing well or maybe it’s because you
Know that’s your guy that’s going to be your guy for a while that guy got a contract Chapman wants to play for Melvin he’s going nowhere okay great well if they pay him they’re going to have to pay him I mean we’ll see the kind of year that he
Has I mean there was a bad base running Mistake by um Solair last night down by four you got to go Station to Station you got to know those things as a big leager there nowhere to go there we just need base runners you you’re already down by four you’re probably going to
Lose that game yeah but you first and second I know and and you swing and you’re down by one there with one swing or or he grounds out and you’re still down by four yeah but that can’t happen that doesn’t matter because we’ll never know because of that base run I’m not
Disagreeing with you it was a horrific base running mistake and I don’t even know if it was his like there the broadcast I thought was not great in explaining what had happened we couldn’t even see who was rounding third and I and I think that I think it was Lamont
Wade I think he stopped I think he went around third and stopped so Solair was running towards third and then he stopped and then Wade took off again and went home and they threw behind solar and he was standing there so I don’t even know how much to what level it was
His fault he would have made third if he had kept running but doesn’t matter if there’s a runner standing on third you got to stop so whatever it was is a terrible mistake I’m not disagreeing with you but the Giants have built them themselves in a way where like dude I
Mean it’s still it’s still difficult to uh to sit down and watch a game and know what you’re what you’re going to get and and and even if you’re a big fan you’re like I know all about Keat and win I got it and you get to the sixth inning and
You’re like what’s happening all right well okay there’s time the career minor leager making his debut against the Dodgers in Dodger Stadium that’s that’s a tough place to debut and he’s following up Miller who’s also brand new and that’s fine like I got nothing against new players but that’s a weird
Feeling when you sit down and you’re like I totally get who’s coming up next for the Dodgers as a Giants fan and you’re like wait a minute who’s who’s playing right field for a SN you you know what made me the most mad last night excuse me there’s a cough
Button here probably use it you know what made me the the most mad last night is um everybody’s uniforms what’s that me did you did you see Joe Kelly’s pants they were like floods and then aa’s pants they were like floods and there was a picture for the Dodgers at the end
I think it was brazer no was is the second pitcher brazer that you could see through his pants and you could see his shirt tucked into his pants you could see like the shirt Fanatics these uniforms are terrible they don’t fit the guys like the half the
Half half of the big leagues and is feeling cool in your uniform because you have a tailor in the in the clubhouse that tailor your uniform like a suit that’s I don’t know I just searching for something to say and I couldn’t figure it out what i’ say on live radio the the
The a really cool part of the big leagues is you can look badass in your uni and you can feel sexy in your uni and these new Unis are seethrough you can see their shirts underneath the pants don’t go down far enough and they look like bell bottom floods that’s not
A look and it’s just the uniforms are terrible somebody’s got to do it’s the big leagues and they look like they’re wearing minor league uniforms I don’t know why when this became a thing a few weeks ago I don’t know why it didn’t become a bigger thing it just went away
Everybody was outraged and then nothing happened right they’re still wearing the same things they’re see-through pants yeah I didn’t notice I really didn’t I mean the Giants are wearing gray so that’s okay it’s when you’re wearing white then it’s a problem right yeah when you’re wearing white it’s a problem
And the Giants home uniforms aren’t really white they’re kind of cream you can still see through them you can’t yeah and they don’t fit like your uniforms got to fit perfect um we’re sponsored by the Alama County Probation Department 888 957 9570 is the number um there is a very very large basketball
Ball game tonight and my sense is is that uh you’re going to be upset about it tomorrow no matter what uh further explanation on that around the bend FP is in for dibs it’s wither and dibs won a career with purpose great pay outstanding benefits and a promising Future [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] A A A He Right right I say he’s an idiot now back to Willard and dibs on 957 the game is in for dibs we’re streaming live on Twitch and YouTube That’s twitch.tv/ 957thegame youtube.com 957 the game watch us live and you can play America’s favorite drinking game which is how long into a
Segment do we go before FP turns his hat around great let’s drink it’s my rally hat let’s go crazy thing is is I was already starting with that sentence when you turned your hat around you just did it yeah you just did it you’re hat was on forward and then
You turned it around backwards and uh to wear a backwards hat in your 50s I find to be a uh a very forward movement that’s a nice way of saying I’m too old to do it no I think that you uh you can pull it off which is a uh a compliment
Because most can’t I like it backwards you can it’s a rally hat we got a rally right now we got what do we got two and a half hours left we got a rally let’s go like the Giants tonight are going to Rally against the Dodgers the Warriors
Are going to Rally against the Mavericks be a great show tomorrow cuz it’s going to be winwin are you doing two TVs what are you doing tonight by the way what do you mean Giants Dodgers Warriors Mavericks this is all happening at the same time the YouTube TV has the
Multi-channel thing but I don’t think they show two different sports I like the YouTube TV because I can watch like four college football games at once and if something’s going on a good one you click on it and watch the whole screen or during the NCA tournament there’s
Four games going on it’s got multi view whatever the only bad thing about the YouTube TV is they don’t have the MLB Network which I’m having trouble not watching right now which I like to watch um good problems to have that no one wants to hear about um we used to live
In this tiny little place and the TVs were kind of like right in rooms right next to each other and the remote work for both well no but I could yank I could easily just move the the the wiring around and yank the second TV
Into the same room so when we had one of these moments or like an NFL Sunday where we want to watch both a Niner game and a red own channel at the same time it’s very easy for me to yank two TVs into the same room uh but we have
Recently moved to a uh a larger establishment and uh that is no longer possible thank you and I’m I’m conflicted on a night like tonight I honestly am I don’t like that be I don’t like sitting there pushing the I want to lock in on both of these and the
Warriors is a little bit more there’s more urgency it’s basketball versus baseball Giants Dodgers you’re not going to get me to to diminish that Logan Webb is pitching to Dodger Stadium that’s a big freaking deal and last night’s game annoyed me largely because it picked the scab of what I was talking
About on the air yesterday I want to know what the listeners are thinking which one are you watching tonight well let me ask you this do you think what fans are feeling and thinking Works its way into the consciousness of the players no no no so the Giants are not
Lacking confidence against the Dodgers no no they think they can go up against him I would imagine I mean it’s good probably 26 guys in 26 different opinions so I don’t know what everybody’s thinking but I would say that just based on the quotes you’re hearing from certain guys that they
Think they can play with them and they lost last night I mean they’re big Leaguers of course they don’t think that they’re overmatched I get that I think any team that sees Muki Shi and Freddy come up in the first Innings going yeah they’re good like just it’s not news the Dodgers
Are really really good yeah my thing though is that I’ve really try I’ve been trying to attack this for three years and last night’s an example of why it’s a very very difficult nut to crack I think the entire organizations at least fan base I don’t know I can’t speak for
The players um but I do think also members of the front office slash non-player portion of the organization I think is suffering from a huge inferiority complex that I don’t quite grasp or understand because I don’t work for them I’m not there but you cruise around in the hallways of
Third and King and if you talk to fans which I do on a daily basis both here and outside of here there is a big like like we’re not we’re not any good I mean the the number one statement that you’ve heard for three years now that has been
The number one thing that’s annoyed me about this conversation is no one’s coming here I got sign here here who the hell would sign here I think that narrative’s changed though it only in the last month but it’s changed there’s residue but that’s changed there’s residue it’s
Not gone yet and a night like last night really whips it up really I think one game yep so if they won 8 to3 you’d be coming in here today going they’re the parade on Market Street baby we beat the Dodgers 8 to3 not doing the Market
Street thing but there’s a there’s a bounce in the step hell yeah if you beat the Dodgers 8 to3 the first time you looked at him oh my God yeah there’d be a bounce in the step hell yes I understand it’s a baseball game I understand it’s one of
162 but I think there’s something larger at work here and I think that that that it has been something that I have at times not even done a great job of pointing out that is a byproduct of the way this particular front office has built its team whether they’ve made good
Decisions or bad I do think that too much of the mob uh sort of only points to the bat of farh Han zi I look there’s a lot of both but but one of the byproducts that has really stunk and you pointed this out to me last week when
You heard what he said in the Blake Snell press conference well we didn’t think we could get him I mean there’s a lot of teams that wanted him what what the hell is that what’s with the inferiority complex yeah I mean it’s just a different way of going
About it like Brian Sabian would say things like we don’t make mistakes and he’d point in my chest when I was hitting a 100 in April we don’t make mistakes akes and turn around and walk away I remember my first opening day uh in Cincinnati with the Giants I was in
The lineup and he said uh welcome to the big leagues after I meaning that Montreal wasn’t the big leagues and now I’m in the big league so like little things like that were they like they helped you out um the one thing I would
Say is I think that’s more of the of the last manager thing and I don’t want to kick somebody that’s down or on the way out but I don’t think a player wants to come here and get pinch hit for I don’t think a player ever wants to go to a
Place and get platooned I don’t think a pitcher ever wants to go to a place and be an opener when I’m supposed to be pitching the ninth inning I don’t think a pitcher wants to go to a place that they tell him he’s going to be a starter
And he comes in the third inning every time so these guys all talk they text so in that regard I get that sentiment amongst the fans I would say the one thing I hear most from fans is they just don’t like math they they just don’t like the math approach and the the
Analytic part and they want to fall in love with players and wrap their arms around somebody and go by Jung hul Le’s Jersey or Chapman’s Jersey or somebody’s Jersey and be like that’s my guy and you see that guy play for nine innings I was stoked to see Jung Huli and Michael
Conforto in the lineup against the Lefty last night yeah I was stoked and and it’s not it’s not about like an inferiority complex with wearing the orange and black because this is one of the most storyed franchises in the history of baseball that’s arguably had the two greatest players ever to walk
The face of the Earth play for him in Barry Bonds and Willie Maes yep and we can go down the list so this it’s a privilege and an honor to play for that team on the corner of third and King in that ballpark in front of the smartest
Fans in baseball it is so when that that’s a whoever you’re talking to’s problem I think and it might it might have a little residual effect of what’s going on the city right now and how how the city’s getting crushed and maybe we have an inferior like I defend the city
I didn’t defend the Giants like and and like Blake Snell said so perfectly like we it’s not like as players we walk around the city we go we get in our car we go to the ballpark we’re in the clubhouse with our boys think get our
Car we go home I give you Sam darnold you think Sam darnold a few weeks ago was like you know what I want in life I would like to be cold that’s what I’d like I want to live in Minnesota I was in the Bay area for a
Year I grew up in Orange County and I would like winter in Minnesota yeah now they offered him $10 million exactly and a possible starting roll and it’s indoors don’t give a rip where the hell he plays he’s got to go from his his like not even if he Parks
His car in his garage he’s never going outside because he pulls down in the stadium he doesn’t care what the weather is like when you’re play in a dome it doesn’t matter it really doesn’t and I just think when you talk about if you hear the things that Matt Chapman said
Like we wanted to get bowel his first win we love this guy like just listen to the quotes about what they’re saying in the manag we never heard that I never heard that before like we really like so there’s a different feel and a different vibe and it’s always cool as a
Player when you respect your manager and in the middle of a game you’re thinking like I don’t want to let him down like that gives you an extra Edge and an extra Advantage never want to let Dusty down never want to let Felipe down like you’re thinking about that in the course
Of the game and then you and if they’re like real positive dudes and they give you praise like there’s nothing like I don’t care how secure you are as an athlete going by Steve cerr and getting a pat on the butt like a way to go high
Five going by Bob Melvin and slap on the butt way to go great swing right there nice play like you these things in these reinforcements and I’ve told you this before like it just feels like baseball now so like I’m still jury out until after 40 games do I know if the Giants
Are going to be good or not I like the feel right now if that means anything no I came out of the weekend very excited I remain excited I’m not going to make this about one game I just think that last night picked the scab that that is not fully healed yet
It did because you know I I get I agree with everything that you’re saying right now I really do I don’t think this team is those teams but I maybe this is just impatience no I’m I’m really really rubbed raw the last few years of how
Many different fans I have heard do the here here this roster that City come on nobody wants to do that and I’m like that’s just not true and I am anxious for this team to erase that crap and so it was hard to look like the Dodgers
Little brother again because they did I mean if we’re being completely honest on April 2nd the Dodgers are better than the Giants paper the Diamondbacks went to the World Series last year and the Padre’s are whatever they’re always going to Padre the the Braves are really really good and the Phillies are really
Really good and that’s probably there’s probably like three or four teams that right now who knows how the season goes how these guys evolve how they how they gel who has a great year who has an All-Star year is Tyro an All-Star is Chapman an All-Star is is Patrick Bailey an
All-Star is Jung hul Le and Allstar like who knows how this goes but like as we sit here today when you look at those teams okay they look better it doesn’t mean the Giants aren’t good there’s some really good teams in Nation League it’s baseball you can be you can have the
Worst team without looking completely outclassed do you remember the series in Atlanta against the Braves last year I was there there you go and did the Giants look competitive the entire time no what do you mean well I was at the SEC the the the Giants I think that the
Braves won two out of three the Giants blew one late yes they had they had the whole series yes they could have won two out of three absolutely they did not go into Atlanta and look like well these two teams don’t really belong on the same field together it didn’t look like
That at all right even though Atlanta’s Atlanta they’re they’re incredible their lineup You could argue is better than the Dodger lineup it’s insane there’s something right now about this era of Giants baseball that when they play the Dodgers they look like they just brushed aside yeah because I
Mean the Dodgers are theyve three MVPs but the Braves are just as good are they do you know do you know in the history of baseball I saw this stat earlier I hope I don’t screw it up right now three MVPs hitting back to back to back in a
Lineup has happened a total of 12 innings in the history of baseball 12 innings in the history of baseball the Dodgers already blew through that in the first whatever game and they’re going to blow and they’re going to blow through it all season long those are three MVPs
Back to back to back sure sure sure so by comparison that doesn’t mean that David can’t beat Goliath and and over the Long Haul something can’t happen where this team clicks and all of a sudden they all get to know each other and they all you know that this whole
Thing with new guys in a new uniform and getting used to this rivalry takes a second so I’m not shocked at all that maybe they were looking at each other going oh this is what it’s like last night and it kind of like woof and we’ll
See what yeah I hope it looks if they get swept and it’s 8 to three every game then we can talk on Thursday you will be here but we can talk on the phone then then then then then then maybe I’m a little less enthusiastic about opening
Day Y no I got it it like if it looks different tonight Logan Webb is throwing against uh Bob undecided and uh and so I would hope that something is better tonight but I don’t know I don’t know I got all kinds of De gonis running around
In the back of my head um he’s out till 25 did you see that I did not see that he blew out well yeah he’s he’s missing next year too it’s another good I mean out till like6 it’s another good far hanti trade that was a good trade
I can say that without even knowing if Robbie Ray is ever going to put on a Giant’s uniform are you roller coaster fan guy no are you like oh they’re great oh they suck oh great because that’s part of being a fan I’m to I’m I’m like
Very much the opposite of that I thought so tonight last night was not about losing it was about the feel that it brought up it brought up some stuff it brought up some stuff what would make you feel better tonight be in the game winning it doesn’t even need to
Be a win if this is a one-run game in the eighth inning we’re good here play baseball and look like the major league team that you’re playing what if you walk the first three guys every time tonight and then and then hit Will Smith and then and then figure out like 5 six
Seven 8 n because like when you get down to Lux and Taylor and those guys those there’s some outs down there yeah the first four guys there’s some three-run homers down there too yeah whatever he’s hot he’s hot he’s hot so so is conforto yeah maybe he hits third tonight well
That’s I don’t know I do have lineup I got lineup questions can we take Bobby and Los Altos and then I got lineup questions for you hey Bobby what are you doing you’re on with Willer and FP hey guys thanks for taking the call
Up so I wanted to uh well first of all I guess you guys have had a lot of discussion about the the Dodgers versus Giants I I want to say this quickly and then I want to talk to specifically about the Giants um by themselves but look it’s the beginning of the the
Season it’s kind of like when you walk into a casino you know the casino has a house Edge but you feel like you got a chance so I mean it’s not like we’re 100 games in it’s like the what the fifth sixth game of the season so I don’t feel
Like the Giants are coming into uh this that first game thinking oh we don’t got a chance I mean everyone’s got hope at the beginning of the year on paper of course the Giants are better but what I want to talk about the Giants like my my
Conflict with them is I’m I’m rooting for them but then at the same time with uh with Snell and Chapman I feel like if they have a great year I get really invested in them they’re gone any they’re gone anyway right it’s kind of like you know look I’m a cisgender male
What identify with he him so my example will be as such but let’s say you you find some girl that you have no business being with because you had a bad breakup and you get her at some point she might realize herself s worth and leave you
And then you know that’s kind of how I feel but if she if she doesn’t leave you and she’s just broken kind of like how the Niners broke the Eagles last year then you kind of damaged good so I just don’t know how I feel I’m all in on Jung
Hul Le I think he’s having an amazing start to the season for a guy that’s never played MLB baseball before and obviously we got him long term so if there’s anyone I want to invest myself into and also given the fact that Korean things just don’t seem to fail anymore
I’m all into jungol Le but Chapman and Snell I just don’t know how I feel about them because I feel like gonna be if they this is it’s really a great question Bobby they both love the manager though like like cling on to that enjoy the ride for a year and who’s
Thinking about 2025 right now but I know his point he scared to fall love I mean right you don’t want to go with a hot chick for a year and just see what happens fun oh yeah we can have fun okay we can have fun I mean Bob Meyers what
If you go out with a girl for a year in October there’s a parade okay yeah I’m it’s all good it’s all good there’s going to be look if it’s not them there’ll be someone else um right it’s not like those are the only two baseball
Players on uh on the planet but he brings up what is a fair we have talked so much about the emotional experience for the Giants fan the last last three years and it has not been a good one so if we’re going to talk about the emotional experience I
Find this question that Bobby brings up to be a very fair one which is I can simultaneously go okay Farhan you you you did a smart thing like you maintained flexibility even if these guys opt in it’s only one more year you maintained flexibility and got differen
Making players but at the same time if we’re going to spend three years talking about God we don’t get to know any of our players nobody wants to buy a jersey if Blake snow wins the Sai Young this year it’s gone why well because the Giants have not
Shown that they are the ones that grab guys after the 30th birthday and give them fiveyear Deals they don’t do that I wouldn’t give a picture a five-year deal if you put a gun to my wouldn’t just cuz just CU and and and I get it but if
We’re going to talk about the fan experience that is kind of tough I mean conforto has done something here to start off the year which is he has started optimism on the back end of exactly what we’re talking about I was excited when they got conforto last year
I know some things that right like you’re average just like oh let’s go to the game you may not know Michael conforto is a fantastic baseball player he’s not a superstar but he’s really good this guy has the capability to hit 25 30 home runs in his sleep if he’s
Healthy but he didn’t show that to this fan base last year and got jerked around by kapler System no doubt so he ends up opting in well he opts in and everyone’s like conforto so in other words if we get Chapman or Snell next year it’s probably going to feel like
That unless as you’re suggesting they’re awesome and they opt out and the Giants resign him seems like an unlikely parlay winning helps in the fact that they wanted to play for this manager and they both have played for this manager it it’s hard to articulate what a comfort
Level that is when you when you really really love the guy you play for but that’s not at all cost right Blake Snell famously again I didn’t really care where I played so it’s not like they’re staying just CA Bob Melvin yeah maybe maybe I put more emphasis on that and
That’s a me thing and not not a case-by case basis thing with players but I think that it’s a huge advantage to have a comfort level with your manager to know how he’s going to use you to know that you just you Vibe and there’s not
Like this push and give and take and you just whatever he’s saying you’re like what what why what what is he doing to and then guys start talking like what what are we doing what are we doing what is he doing what did he say to you and
It just gets to be like one of those things and everybody’s going like what what’s going on and he’s a jerk he walked right by me today didn’t say I’ve been in these situations and then you got a guy that you love like a Dusty Baker or Bob Melvin that’s super
Communicative tells you when you’re playing when you’re not playing you know the way he delivers his message is super pro like Bruce bochi like there’s there’s no high highs and low lows he’s not a front runner when you’re hitting 300 you’re his best friend when you’re hitting 200 he walks right by you
Without saying hi when you can find a manager that you just just you can take a deep breath and play for that’s huge man and and and Blake snow if he didn’t like the way he was used in San Diego last year he wouldn’t have signed to
Play with Bob Melvin for Bob Melvin again he wouldn’t have so they like this guy and this guy to me has kind of changed the whole vibe I don’t know if he’s a great manager I don’t know if he’s a Hall of Fame manager I don’t know
If he’s Bruce bochi but I do know that players want to play for him and I do know that that’s a huge thing so if Matt Chapman goes off and they win winning C is everything they win this year and Chapman goes off and Blake sowan a sa
Young they’re going to equate that to playing for Bob Melvin they’re going to equate that to wearing the orange and black and believe it or not players if they’re if they find a comfortable place where they feel as home they don’t want to make changes their families don’t
Want to move next year they don’t want to start over with a different coaching staff in a different city and try to impress a different fan base and impress your new teammates like if you if you got a place you like and you’re winning and the manager’s cool and the fans are
Cool and the ballar is cool there’s no need to go other way unless unless your motivation is every last scent in my account and there are guys like that unless someone offers $180 million but I don’t I don’t I don’t know that you know what I mean I don’t know that the Giants
Really are they really getting out bid it’s no I don’t think they’re getting always out bid they are there are times where the length takes players away and I would argue that their record is very good on that Chris Bryant got an offer but he left because of length he left
Because the Rockies offered seven years yeah how’d that move work out he has got a hit yet this year yeah not good Carlos rodon Giants win that one did you see his nipples through his jersey the other day no I did not staring at everybody’s
Dude it was seethrough he had a great he had a great Yankees uniform on it was see-through and he was just nipping out everywhere you are like this sensual baseball what going on here what are you doing over there these are paper mâché uniforms and I can’t stand the uniforms
Watch the ball not the balls and he’s big Carlos Carlos rodana is Big he is big he’s big he got bigger yeah he’s a big boy he’s big yeah anyways another good move I would say you better be careful right Chris Bryant no Gman Ron no Gosman that’s not a good exactly
Exactly so you’re going to win some you lose some and they’ve won more than they’ve lost when it comes to that but all I’m saying is I understand when the fans are like am I supposed to root for this guy so that he’s gone next year and
The answer is yes because if he plays really while you win this year be in the moment man be in the present look not the 20,000 foot view be in today’s game against the Dodgers I’m not think it about 2025 right now the hardest thing to do um but it’s the advice everyone
Gives you all the time right oh have is now it’s two days of the week that don’t matter yesterday and tomorrow we’re presented by Fremont Bank full service banking no compromises 888 957 9570 FPS here for dibs sard and dibs business it’s all the things to keep this world [Applause] Yeah [Applause] n N Oh Watch the ball L of balls now back to Willard and dibs on 957 the game hang on I’m placing my bat FP told me to place a bat so I’m placing a bat lck it in okay based on the lineup That was just released for the Giants tonight I
Told you to lay some money down the Giants you got the second place finisher in sa young pitching yep it’s Lee Chapman Solair Solair dhent canoro Flores Estrada yky Bailey ahed so Matt Chapman’s hitting second conforto’s hitting fourth that two- hole has been in interesting like you’re supposed to
Hit your best hitter second now that’s what the analytics say it used to be the third place hitter but now it’s number two who’s the Giant’s best hitter Chapman right now he hasn’t been hitting second well he is tonight right and that’s all we can control Markus
Today four the four games in San Diego Solair hit the second H well they figured that out and then Slater slates slates did last night Sol’s got protection from a guy conto that has three home runs already so he’s going to get some pitches to hit tonight okay
That’s and then you go left right right left right right left switch right perfect and Bailey’s hting 444 by the way the uh the batting sites have a starter for the Dodgers you said there’s no starter listed for the Dodgers not on mlb.com it still says TBD with a shadowy figure who’s
Braer he pitched last night so he’s an opener he pitched last night well that’s the betting SES say that’s who started for the Dodgers tonight well he pitched last night he’s the guy that I saw through his uniform you could see his shirt Tails tucked in that’s the guy I
Just made a point about oh yeah he’s got the see-through pants if that not the balls yeah why do you watch baseball the way you do because I’ve never seen such sheer pants I don’t understand it did you not see Casey schmith in spring training did you not see that picture
Saw but I mean like after the fact I saw it because the internet made a big deal about it well yeah I’m looking at baseball right now it looks like baseball yeah those uniforms suck you can’t even see the the Phillies picture I can’t even see his name on the back
Cuz the font so small well that’s the Phillies fault if you’re having a bad season it’s a good thing yeah that’s not the F that’s not fanatic’s fault that’s the Phil fault if I’m playing like crap I don’t want people to see my last name Giants don’t even put their last name on
The back of the work your whole life to get to the big leagues you want people to see your name or they did now huh they changed that they do now they didn’t for a long time but uh okay I do have lineup questions the city connect uniforms are going to be super
Hot couldn’t even get through the sentence you better be careful sexy anyways I’m so not bothered by the city connect uniforms I love them because they win in them exactly and I like the fog logo I think that’s super creative the Padre’s went City connect on the
Second game of the year yeah I don’t like this game two it looks like a pickup it looks like a semi- truck hit a clown it does I don’t I don’t like I don’t like those uniforms terrible visual yeah yeah no I don’t have any like I I’ve learned this about
Myself um hang on I had a granola bar so I got to keep and yeah that’s not a good thing to eat while you’re on air I know I’ve learned this lesson a thousand times over but I’m cool with it because you’re here all right I’m eat it thank
Youing coffee with no but you know this when if you do solo Radio and the Granola bar thing happens it’s a wrap it is life is over as we know it it’s the worst experience of all time I’ll pick you up turn your mic off and Hawk it up
Yeah yeah I got water you’re here I’m like we’re going to granola bar we’re doing it and it’s going to be fine so I got a good feeling about tonight okay well I bet on it so I like this lineup so you’re um you’re in trouble if they
Don’t win bet Otani Freeman Smith Muny Hernandez Alman Taylor Lux Lux could you see watch Lux last night like Len Lux rhymes with sacks I mean he can’t even throw did you see he’s throwing the dirt it doesn’t though yeah it does yes it’s three letters it ends with a x it Rhymes
SX Lux yeah Tommy Lora tells this great story where like there was a group of fans that were wearing helmets behind first when saak was playing second that year when he had the thing you like Tommy uh yeah yeah did yeah he’s fun to he’s fun there’s collateral damage when you
Eat with him cuz it’s spraying everywhere oh gosh that’s gross you need one of those like Shields those Co Shields yeah and it I don’t think anybody’s well God Rest his soul use the f- word more in the history of the World restaurant I worked at a years ago okay
This is like just out of college I’m waiting tables at a restaurant down in La uh in Brentwood Italian place fancy joint did KO go to that one expensive K kin no KO not he come to that one did you see OJ uh no I did not see OJ but
Did the did the white Bronco park right in the front I did get this story too soon I did get this story um Tommy would come in there and maybe this only happened once or twice whatever but this was this was a thing Tommy would come in there with a massive
Group of people okay big Italian meal Tommy 12 people you can totally visualize it right 10 of those were connected by the way 10 of those people were connected trust me tomm they were facilitators all of them Tommy was under the impression that his signature paid for the
Bill yeah I’m okay with that you are no but like there’s certain perks that go with a big league manager in a big league town in a big market so the Dodgers employed someone to be at these types of dinners to depart with the group and then Circle back into the restaurant to
Take care of the restaurant and the staff because Tommy decided that he didn’t have to pay for things so somebody did pick up the test yes but Tommy was under the impression Tommy was under the impression that his money was no good here but his money would have been good
There yeah I’m I none of this surprises me at all color me shocked none of this surprises me at all no it’s not no I I think um look I’m not here to speak ill of the Dead I love Tommy I thought he was great man I got to know him real
Well he’s not a fan Fantastic not a fan not a fan well he got really really he got really mad at me one time on the air so there was that really but that was like whatever I don’t I don’t hold it did you
Go Giants fan on him is that why and you weren’t bleeding dodger blue no I because God loves the Dodgers I know well well according Tom me that’s amazing for for for God he’s got a really good team this year um you know good for you God that one
Caller said it’s like walking into a casino playing against the Dodgers Otani joke there that I just let go because he kept talking you did but I thought that was a great analogy and I will be walking into a casino this weekend and it is that intimidating you are you’re
Walk you’re walking in and you’re like this place probably going to beat me it’s probably going to beat me but but every once in a while you play Third Base at a table and you get hot yeah I feel like we got a shot and you start
Sticking the $100 chips in your pocket we got a shot and all of a sudden you got about 20 of them in there you go cash out I’m a When in Rome type of a dude now I don’t do a whole lot of gambling when I’m not in the casino yeah
I haven’t been in shoot it must have been oh it’s been a year and a half it’s been about a year and a half I think and uh FP it went well I beat the Dodgers that day tell me the Tommy story when he got pissed at you well the whole thing
Was it was okay this is back when I was the guys in the other room we like crap do we have to listen to this again I told I haven’t heard it and there’s people on the YouTube line that want to hear it I want to hear it we got 3
Minutes to kill until do this is for me that’s true we can ask no anyway all right so I’m doing the show with Tony Bruno and Lort used to come on all the time and I had to just kind of stomach my way through it because I’m hate the
Dodgers and hate but it was more like it’s Sports hate I didn’t know Tommy I didn’t know him from Adam but uh he would come on and do you remember the time where cameras caught him asleep at a Dodgers Cubs game at Wrigley Field yeah okay that’s Chicago thank you I
Love Chicago I may have dozed off during a day game there myself what’s wrong why would you fall asleep in Chicago it’s hard to go into your room at night why because there’s a really good night life in Chicago oh yeah okay it’s hard to get
Back to the hotel at night so then there’s a day game that ambushes you and if you’re not in the lineup you’re kind of tired and Tommy was not in the lineup yeah uh so anyway cameras catch him asleep and everyone’s like having fun with him but it’s whatever like this is
A national story for about a week and a half haha Tommy’s asleep at the game all right so we finished an interview with Tommy and Tony jokingly knowing that I’m a DieHard Giants fan looks at me after the interview and goes because I’m sitting there looking at him kind of
Sheepishly and he goes Mark loves it when we have Tommy on and I go I sure do Tony I fall asleep the same way he does at a Cubs game oh no problem is is Tommy was still on the phone oh no he had not hung up yet and Tommy decided to
Remember and so the next time we called him he did not tell the producers that there was anything going on he oh hey my producer’s name was Craig hey Craig great to hear from you sure love to go on with the guys all right perfect Tommy we’ll put you on hold he’s keeping
Receipts Tony brings him on hey Tommy how you doing sets the whole thing up world series coming up B the boop hey Tommy have he goes yeah hey Tony uh uh Mark Willard there and I’m like yeah I thought it was like a joke you know like
Oh we’re in on the joke hey Tommy yeah what’s going on what I’m right here what’s up and he launches in you disrespectful I was listening last time you said that I you fall asleep when I come on you’re a smart guy you like to have fun at other people’s expense I
Mean launched that’s pretty good Tommy by the way he just and I I’m just sitting there done cuz I’m super young in the in the career super young I’m frozen like oh oh crap producers in my ear the whole time say sorry and move on just say sorry just say say sorry say
Sorry and move on say sorry I’m like Tommy I like I really I meant no offense we’re having fun you’re having fun at someone else’s expense and I’m like Tommy and so okay I’m GNA sit the interview out Tony does the whole interview finishes up okay Tommy we done
It we’re good thank you for coming on Marcus apologized are we good now click hung up on you that was the end of that mic dropped what I don’t know if the guys know do you want to know who my boss was back then was on a national
Network called Sporting News Radio you want to know who my boss was his name was Matt neagan really no joke no joke this is a hundred years ago for both of us I walked around for 7even hours think I thought I was fired I was absolutely terrified
And I’ll never forget because I was a pup I was just scared I’ve been in the you know what I mean I’ve been in the business for 2 minutes and I’ll never forget I finally got on the phone with Matt that night and uh I was like okay
Boss lay it on me what do we got he goes that was probably the best radio I’ve heard in 10 years yeah I’m like wait what he goes he goes I’m never going to forget that what would you do different what would you do different now if that
Happened and he came back on would you I challenged him yeah like if you don’t like it drink a cup of coffee i’ have challenged stay awake you’re a big league manager and and and and what Tommy you can’t take a joke we’re doing sports radio here this is sports have a
Good time you fell asleep at a game like not to get combative I would have said look I’m sorry and then when he didn’t accept the apology I’d have been like okay well now you’re now you’re just being a whiny like right now you’re now you’re overreacting if you think about
Like he that he didn’t like you be on the dug out Montreal all and he got up ejected from a game and I think there was something The Fanatic did to him with a doll or like a rag doll or something in Philadelphia and he took it
And ripped it apart and then was it an All-Star Game in Seattle where like a broken bat came his way and he tumbled Barry Bonds came out and effed with him and he didn’t like that either he was not playing so I’ve learned now that Tommy’s just a horrible human being no
He yes he was God Rest his soul yeah and go read about all the things he did but anyway you’re listening to 957 the game H gmz FM and HD1 San Francisco always live on the free Odyssey app twitch and YouTube powered by first NorCal Credit Union upgrade your savings dividend open
A first NorCal first class money market today um here he is ladies and gentlemen it is uh time for a clear to play take you inside the tent get you updated on the latest injuries in the bay proud to partner with UCSF Health on this segment and bring in professor of orthopedic
Surgery Dr narra pandia Who also does not like Tommy Lort is that not right doc yeah no I’m not a big Toma sort of fan either yeah all right all right see you and I just get closer by the week do you see that umut hey Jonathan kaminga last week
You you thought hey you know probably gonna be back and he wasn’t has your opinion changed at all no I think you know if you look at kind of you obviously the Cornerstone of this is resting so if you’re gonna rest him against teams you’re looking at the
Teams they played over the weekend where you can neily don’t need him to win now as he kind of progresses during this week if it’s like Thursday Friday Saturday he’s not necessarily playing then you get a little bit more concerned the fact that they reported that it’s bilateral makes me less concerned
Because this this is more of an issue of look this is probably overuse he’s played a lot of minutes he’s averaging significantly more minutes than what he did in his first two seasons so once again I think they’re just being cautious with this really only the
Treatment for this is just rest and if they’re winning without him in there and they feel that he can they can have you know other players there who provide good matchups and I think it’s just more cautionary than anything else doc also want to ask you about sort of the the
Way that Steve Kerr said that they’re playing Steph Curry you remember this about a week ago he’s like look we’ve been leaning on this guy for the better part of a decade uh there there have just got to be moments where we limit the minutes I think a fan goes wait a
Minute there’s eight games left and you need to borrow three minutes from the fourth quarter of a close game what what what would you say about that with regard to the whole rest issue yeah I think it’s important for fans to understand like even though it
Seems like one to two minutes it’s not a big deal like the Warriors are tracking these minutes very very closely obviously with their Sports Performance stat staff and when a player is fatigued they’re more likely to get injured so even though Curry playing two to three
Minutes they’re you know a lot of people are thinking that that’s not going to be a big issue in terms of him performing the next day but you’re trying to prevent that injury risk and one of the things we have seen with curry at the tail end of Seasons whether it’s his
Foot it’s an MCL it’s an ankle there has been a tendency for injuries to kind of happen at the end of the season so the goal is not necessarily that he’s going to be tired and then he’s a professional athlete that you don’t want him to be
Tired for that next game it’s injury risk increases when you’re fatigued so you’re trying to prevent that particularly at his age doc I follow you on Twitter and you’re a great follow by the way or X whatever the hell you call it right now and I know you’re a huge
Warriors fan um and we’ve been talking about Jonathan kaminga I say he’s Untouchable don’t trade him Mark thinks you should trade him tomorrow not true what what say you do non-medical question what do you think the warrior should do with this guy yeah I I think anyone they’re going to
Be able to get in free agency is not going to be better than Jonathan kaminga and I think your best shot next year if you look at the free agents see the people out there is there anyone who’s going to have kinga’s potential both the way he’s playing right now and what he
May be in two to three years so I think you keep kaminga get the core around and maybe make a couple changes but there’s not some huge free agent out there if you get rid of kaminga who’s going to be that number two I don’t think there’s
Any player in the NBA out there borrowing some crazy thing like Giannis wants to demand a trade out of Milwaukee that can replace what kaming can do is the number two to Steph Curry uh doc pandia cleared to play okay tell us about the ramp up of Blake Snell who
They’ve announced will start uh next Monday against the Washington Nationals yeah I think the latest report was he pitched I think four Innings uh you know uh kind of ramping leading up to this so I think in general you want to be somewhere between four to five
Innings in terms of showing that you can play and in today’s Major League Baseball like that’s potentially how many innings you’re going to pitch so I think we are looking for maybe three to four weeks when he first got signed in terms of him playing next Monday would
Put him right in that three to four we time frame so absolutely I think he probably had been working out a little bit in the offseason got some live pitching against you know real Major League batters and U yep it sounds like he’s gonna be ready to go early next
Week so I think that’s a very positive sign and bod’s well for him being a main stay in the rotation moving forward yeah what and what’s sort of like what what you would say about the the ramp up once she once he is starting like how much
Does it matter that guys stay around I don’t know 70 or 80 pitches how far into the season can that change yeah you know it’s interesting I think a lot of it has to do obviously with the individual player like you can have one or two games where you’re going
Above that but as FP probably knows pitchers coming in now have a lot different mileage on their arms than say 2030 years ago like these kid these players who are now started playing when they were eight nine or 10 throwing year round so the amount of mileage on that
Elbow is a lot less than say someone who didn’t play year round travel baseball so I think you have to keep them at 7080 pitches not because there’s something wrong with them but just because the amount of throws that are left in that arm at this stage are just a lot less so
I think a lot of this is going to be 70 to 80 not because there’s something wrong but because you’re just trying to preserve him given what he has done in his career preceding the major leagues oh don’t get me going on travel baseball I could do a whole segment on how it’s
The devil and how kids don’t know how to be a good teammate now and how kids don’t know how to be part of a team and it’s just like punt pass and kick mentality and how hard you can throw it how far you can hit it and how fast you
Can run I got I got to serious question for you docc I got an ingrown hair on my leg and I I looked on the New York I looked on the New York Post this guy died from an ingrown hair and the New York Post I’m follow the feed on my
Instagram so I’m Italian I’m a hypochondriac am I gonna die doc no I think I think there’s a very high likelihood you’re GNA be just fine you’re gonna be totally fine nothing to worry about the the rate of death from ingrown hair is marginally low Mar how
Do I treat it what do I do but to be safe do like do a really good show today just to be safe like give us your best effort today like kid last show you’ll ever do yeah exactly yeah so I think the key thing is to keep the area clean um
You know you want to make sure there’s not any kind of rough rough area around that area and uh yeah don’t try to dig it take it out just let it kind of kind of happen happening itself whoops on both of those already how do I play
Makeup ball there DC men and hygiene on uh on 957 the game coming up next um all right doc who plays basketball tonight Moses Moody Mr always ready Moses Moody plays basketball let’s go Moses let’s do it thanks Doc we’ll talk to you next week no problem take care guys okay the
Proceeding was sponsored by UCSF Health you see uh Chris Paul say Moses Moody is one of his favorite teammates ever really yeah yeah like the just stay ready mentality he’s like I you know and that’s someone who’s been on how many different teams hard he’s like I’ve not
Really encountered too many people that handle this situation the way most his ass yeah they were talking about on the broadcast how he plays three on three during the day and then he doesn’t even know if he’s playing or not and they do these three onree pickup games where he
Goes hard all morning and then all of a sudden you’re starting tonight and he’s like I don’t care like if most guys know they’re starting they won’t do that and he just still plays because he’s trying to get better I mean you can do that at
His age he like he doesn’t look it’s funny some guys you realize how like Jonathan kaminga when you look at him and and you know sort of the raw nature of where he’s been and and come up to this point you’re like my gosh this freakish athlete but you can sort of
Guess like yeah he’s only 21 years old you watch Moses play basketball you listen to him you you see the way he looks and you’re like maybe 26 also 21 21 Moses Moody so like you can do stuff like that when you’re 21 I wouldn’t suggest you still do that 5 years from
Now the mindset to prepared and not to pout and not to say I’m getting screwed and to be ready to play whenever he’s called upon and to play really well when he’s called upon and to have that mindset and that mentality right now A that’s that you can’t teach nobody is
Not a fan of Moses Moody I don’t think that exists but I think Steve wasn’t for a while well he wasn’t a fan of playing him I don’t think that ever means that he wasn’t afraid of him I know I am just trying to be
Funny but uh yeah he’s one of those guys he’s that type of guy there’s kind of a little bit of an FB santangelo type of a feel to it like you didn’t have people who right like I you didn’t have boo Birds it’s just hard it’s hard to be
Ready and not know sure that’s an art that’s a mindset how’d you do it I was not good at it you weren’t nope nope I was better playing every day and get in a rhythm and then all of a sudden you don’t play for a week and
Then you didn’t know and you get to the ballpark and your name in the lineup and it’s like instant like check your pulse oh I’m playing tonight oh Randy Johnson’s pitching oh you know it’s one of those things so for him at 21 21 yeah that’s that’s why I like
Him he doesn’t he doesn’t complain he’s just ready to go nope he’s like lunch meat he’s always ready it’s good I’ve never heard that one before yeah and and you know what the the other thing is too is is not always but sometimes he really affects
The game on both ends of the floor like there are times where he disappears and then he has those nights those nights where the three-pointer is fallen and and he’s making hustle plays and and rebounding on the defensive end like he is a guy that sometimes when you go to
Him he actually really has an effect on the game and uh we have taken calls on Moses Moody all year long if he’s not in people are upset a likable dude yep I like when he’s aggressive to the rack that’s my favorite Moses Moody um all right uh
We’re sponsored by Safeway FP is in for dibs Dallas is in town FP will party with Luca tonight we’ll explain that next on W and Debs head to Safeway this week for challenge or Danish crey butter selected varieties 297 each limit 4 signature select classic ham shank half or whole bone in for 87 N [Applause] N [Applause] n [Applause] N [Applause] A He is big he’s big now back to Willard and dibs on 957 the game oh my dude FP is in for dibs what do the Purdue Tennessee game on Saturday the Golden Globes this year the final round of the Masters last year almost every game of the 2023 NBA finals and every World Series game from last year what do they all have in common there’s sporting events no the Golden Globes is not a sporting event it’s a
Great question it depends they drink a lot in that they do they do um no all five of them had fewer viewers than yesterday’s Iowa LSU women’s basketball game wow wow say that again now that now that I’ve the big reveal is out the Purdue Tennessee game on
Saturday the Golden Globes the final round of the Masters last year four out of five NBA finals games from last year and every World Series game from last year all of those things had fewer than the 12.3 million viewers that watched LSU and Iowa women’s basketball yesterday
That’s cool man that’s awesome yep I got goosebumps yep uh my mom and dad are like in women’s college basketball better than men’s they had it on all weekend when I was home in Sacramento this weekend they’re like it’s just better we like it more they’re watching the whole tourney they’re watching
Everything I don’t think that’s a crazy thing to say at all I mean I also don’t think it’s I don’t want to sound disrespectful I don’t think it’s saying all that much the the men’s college basketball game is in disarray it’s in total disarray you have no
Characters and very few people who can score consistently and yeah the nil and you have guys transferring every year and you just don’t know who’s on what team anymore and they’re all one and done and it’s different than than it used to be totally oh way different
Everything is though but sure but but I mean it’s worse I like women’s soccer better than men’s soccer they’re tougher men’s soccer you get tripped and the helicopter lands and they take you off on a stretcher well women just dust themselves off get up and run somebody over I love watching women’s soccer
There’s no question that over the last decade decade and a half if I asked you to name players from the US Women’s National Team and name players from the US Men’s National Team you’d be able to name more women yeah they’re they’re they’re more famous the Alex Morgans and
The Mia hams and the Brandy Chastain Megan rapino like they’re they’re bigger names right than than than what Clint Howard what Clint Dempsey Clint Howard is Ronnie Howard’s little brother played in all the christic come on yeah that’s one Weston mckin by the way my mistake proved my point I blended two players
Was it what paollo 15 was that the movie where Clint Howard was in the he was part of the like he would run the like the he was Houston there’s a problem and he was the guy in the back pressing buttons you know that I’ve been in a
I’ve been in the fantasy league with Clint Howard have you really he’s a big Wiffle ball guy he loves baseball what does that mean what does that mean he loves whiffle ball big whiffle ball I was in a whiffle ball tournament with Clint Howard he loves whiffle ball I
Love whiffle ball it’s the greatest game ever if you don’t know who Clint Howard is it’s Ron Howard’s brother and if you look him up you would immediately go Oh that guy yeah that Clint Howard is one of those guys he’s in every single movie ever made but has never had a part
That’s had more than five lines yeah like just that’s Clint Howard Google him even if you’re driving right now don’t do yeah I had no clue who that guy was but oh now I know who he is look it up you’re like oh that guy definitely remember him from Austin
Powers just name a movie he’s in it like go on Netflix hit a movie and we’ll say Clint Howard he’s a great dude he’s a great dud he’s a great dude I have been in a fantasy fo we have a mutual friend and I’ve been in a fantasy football
League with Clint Howard not a soccer player though no no there probably not much of an anything little just we little guy yeah he wears a big hockey jersey to the draft a nice resume though it sure does wait I’m going to Google I’m going to get the Wikipedia page up
Cuz he’s been in every single movie ever known to bet it’s a big IMDb there’s no doubt um I keep telling people about this all right FP hold my hand hold my hand through this okay I don’t want to offend anybody well then don’t well I won’t unless people want to
Be offended there’s everyone wants to and a lot of people do I don’t want to offend anybody but here’s one thing that I see about the rise in women’s college basketball that I do not find to be a point that resonates you’ll hear a lot of people take these numbers 12.3 million viewers
For Iowa and LSU and they will say see if you would promote other women’s sports it would work and I go so it’s not that you’re wrong you’re diminishing Caitlyn Clark you are diminishing in my opinion you’re diminishing the achievements of Caitlyn Clark you’re diminishing the personality that angel Reese has become
You’re diminishing them by saying it’s just time and now everyone wants to watch women’s sports I don’t think it has anything to do with women or men at all what we like to watch are television characters this is exactly the problem the Giants have had the last two years
They don’t have any television characters the reason that this got 12.3 million viewers yesterday is not because we’re now all gung-ho on women’s sports or gung-ho on men’s sports we’re gung-ho on television with television characters Caitlyn Clark Angel Ree and that crazy coach of LSU are television characters
And we tune in for characters this is what we do if if you look around like NFL what what resonates well oh they’re they’re a good team the the right let’s for years whatever the New England Patriots or actually a better example would be the NBA the Warriors right now
Would outrate the Oklahoma City Thunder why television characters this is about people it’s about entertainment the reason that game went bananas yesterday is not because we’ve decided that women’s sports the bees knees it’s because there are two women in this game that are flipping unreal and and really fun to watch and
They’re television characters and guess what Iowa’s game is going to do their next game is going to do well and it’s going to do a lot better than the other Final Four game so it’s not because we’re now ready for women’s sports I think to a degree
As you just detailed we’ve been ready for women’s sports you US Women’s National we watch they do great they they they they they launched a huge campaign about equal pay that I supported because they were a draw but that’s how you become a draw you you become really good and you have
Characters I’ve always thought that’s what we watch would you rather have television characters in a draw to watch or would you rather win ideally you want both ideally but if you if you had the pick like oh there’s great guys to watch on the Giants but they finish in third
Place every year or there’s great guys on the Warriors and they’re a 10 seed so they’re a draw I think I’d rather have my team win as a specific fan I agree with you because the characters develop as the season goes if they’re winning you’re drawn to Winners right but no one
Here is a fan of Iowa or LSU no one would have been a fan of Iowa yesterday and wouldn’t have got 12.3 million viewers if Iowa was had a losing team and Caitlyn Clark was the best player on the planet right if they weren’t in the tournament and they bowed out and she
Broke all the scoring records and they weren’t in the tournament nobody would have cared but if Caitlyn Clark was egg right but if Caitlyn Clark was not on the team at all we wouldn’t we would not give a rip that Iowa was good that was a
Great rant by the way I just let you go that was that was really good no but your your response is a fair one too but I think what you’re asking is now it’s are you a fan of the team versus are you just watching a sporting event I don’t
Like I’m I I have no ties to Iowa other than George KD and I have no ties to LSU other than give me a Niner LSU I like Jo yes is there Niner I wanted them to draft Justin Jefferson anyway anyway point is I got no ties to those
Universities but Grandy was sitting here watching as you and I are talking and watching that game yesterday gry’s watching me like I there were moments I was having a hard time listening to you because that game was on over your left shoulder I don’t blame you if you did
Anyway game was and I was really rooting for Iowa I was really I want Caitlyn Clark to go you want to see her again to the final four yeah I get it I watched it on tape this morning I watched the whole thing well it was a great watch it
Was easy it’s fun so fun so good LSU is good tooo and there’s other players that I didn’t even know that are great too I just think there’s two ways to look at this and and I am in full support of diversity and and our eyes go where our
Eyes go like I don’t think you should watch sports cuz it’s men or cuz it’s women or because it’s anything and I and I’d love for everything to have the support that that it deserves um but this is one thing that I think is a constant when it comes to the media is
The media gets very criticized for what it puts out there for consumption and I always it’s like in the classes that I teach I always bring this it’s a great conversation starter and you just said it chicken of the egg who decides what’s on TV we do EX exactly right of the
Ratings watch these corporate interests all they want to do is succeed why do you think they get a bunch of Housewives together get them give them wine and then have them argue and then we rip them we go oh Kardashians again well the the ratings are through the roof but
Here’s the thing though like I’m I’m a little different from you and you sound like you’re the viewer in sports that wants to be entertained and it is entertainment industry I get it but I’m the guy that watches cuz I want my team to win and there’s something about when
My team wins that makes me feel better than if I was just entertained like I we were entertained with Barry Bonds every time he came up to the plate it was must C TV he’s breaking records but I would have been more entertained if the Giants
Won a World Series when in 10 12 and 14 I was I I’m totally with and those teams did have characters they did have TV characters with with linicum and Wilson and zto and oh God yes God yes God Rest his like Soul Aubrey Huff God Rest his soul
I don’t know what happened to him know that’s a story for a different time he didn’t become a TV character now until after he was gone I know what happened to his brain we didn’t know the only thing we knew was the rally thong yeah we didn’t know at the time we didn’t
Even know so we got both with those teams especially 10 I believe 12 and 14 had their characters but I’m more of I watched I want my team to win I’m totally with you and then I like the guy on the team that helps them win the most
Cuz I like that guy and I usually go to the guy that’s not the guy that everybody else but what about the what about the sporting event that that has nothing to do with your team like women’s basketball or even or even men’s basketball I don’t have a team I went to
Cowply San Louis abiso we don’t do this we went to the tournament one time got our Bell rung go home I’m not like I have no dog in this fight um golf you know one of the things we just listed was the final round of the Masters it’s
One thing that golf really struggles with when Tiger Woods is not there telis characters like that what what is what’s bringing me to the TV when I don’t have like a a a a hat and a shirt on you know rooting rooting for a team I you know interesting interesting people
Interesting performers so that’s to me that’s all this is so it’s nothing against men’s sports women’s sports whatever I don’t really make it so much about that I just do you have interesting characters or not if you do great we’ll watch if you don’t I won’t I’ve never watched a whole lot
Of women’s basketball but that game last night was the most intriguing college basketball game of this year women or men I would say there was probably what would you say there was probably 10 more million viewers than a normal game 12 11 more do you what do a normal regular
Season game get a million maybe uh if it’s on ESPN prime time yeah like I mean so she Drew probably 11 more million than watch maybe even more than that maybe 11.5 million more probably probably I mean she moved that need but well there was there was other stories
Of the coach at LSU no doubt but that’s what made it so great that’s what made it so great so like I don’t think like let’s say here’s a good example Caitlyn Clark let’s say she gets knocked out in the semis how’s that final game doing
You think it’s going to break records no it won’t it won’t it probably turned more people on to the sport maybe because of her and South Carolina maybe by the way who does Iowa play do they play South Carolina or are they in the other bracket no Iowa plays Yukon
Perfers versus Caitlyn Clark coming up incredible but but South Carolina’s undefeated so the the ma the dream matchup is Caitlyn Clark is going against South Carolina South Carolina has not lost a game Caitlyn Clark’s the greatest thing we’ve ever seen uh in terms of a female with a basketball in
Her hand okay that’s the matchup want but what if South Carolina plays Yukon yeah I’m not watching that but I’d like to hear about it I’m I’m one of all my friends didn’t like the Taylor Swift angle to the Chiefs this year and I thought it was great that didn’t bother
Me at all I thought it was great because it got more eyes on the sport absolutely and there was that what you’re talking about TV characters she’s an interesting person I’ve always liked Travis Kelce always lik him since I watched catching Kelce he had a reality show you watched
That yeah I watched it what is the matter with you I like I like trash TV I watch The Bachelor I love the bachelor yeah you watch a baseball game and all you’re doing is looking at crotches there’s a lot of stuff going on here there is but that’s none of your
Business what’s happening uh yeah no I like the bad I like catching Kelsey I thought it was great so I I like Travis Kelce I thought it was a good dude so I’ve always liked him and then the Taylor Swift if it gets more eyes on the
Sport like baseball needs a Taylor Swift like right now baseball’s not the most watchable sport in the world even though we’re tinkering with rules if if somebody sat down from Ireland next to you at a Giants game and it’s their first game ever and you’re trying to
Explain all these new rules and why is the clock this and what is this and they can only throw over two times and he he only gets one time out and the bases are bigger and there used to be a shift but there’s not a shift and what a BK is and
What an infield fly rule is that person’s going to be like this sport sucks like why would I watch this so like to get more eyes on women’s college basketball it took a Caitlyn Clark which is awesome it’s incredible like Terra Vander like the greatest coach ever lived
Like we tuning in to watch Stanford basketball right but she’s the greatest coach maybe in Bay Area history period story right so I think I I don’t know what baseball needs to do to get more eyes on it but I was a big fan of the Taylor Swift angle
In football this year and I’m in the minority because all my friends are like I don’t want to see her they keep showing I’m like this is great like this is great it’s great anything that gets more eyes on the sport that’s entertaining to me I’m all for but I
Don’t know these rule changes are getting more people to baseball because now baseball’s more complicated than ever to watch and there’s so many rules even though there’s probably the best athletes in the history of the sport playing right now and you and I talked about this before the show and I said is
Mookie Best Bets the greatest athlete on the planet right now which I I guarantee you people listening will immediately roll their eyes because they’re not thinking about the fact that this outfielder has just decided to go play short stop that’s not is the hardest thing to do on the baseball diamond it’s
And he does it seamlessly seamlessly and seems to get it hit most of the times he’s up his stats say otherwise but when I watch most of the time mookie bets is on on base most of the time I know that’s probably not true but my god it
Feels I just I I just I struggle with I like him so much and he’s a Dodger I really do it’s the worst I just just he makes everything look easy he’s like Steph Curry of baseball he makes everything look easy but like who is who is the greatest athlete on the planet
Right now on the planet not just in like who’s the greatest athlete on the planet as we speak CU that’s who you’re going to tune in to watch it’s along the lines of we’re talking Caitlyn Clark like she could be right up there like what she’s doing on a basketball court where she
Shooting from how she passes how she runs a game how clutch she is she incredible like there was a time when I I don’t know what did we talk about before the Patrick Mahomes is I mean who’s the greatest athlete on the planet was it Steph Curry is it Steph I mean
Like Steph makes basketball look easy still at his age yeah he makes it look effortless but the traditional idea of like athletic freak I feel like if you were going to go to the NBA people the the number one vote getter for best athlete on the planet would be Giannis
Right just be and I’m talking about a specific skill set that screams athlete Steph Curry great shooter amazing player but it’s hard to call him the best athlete when you’re like can he even dunk you know what I mean just not to take anything away it’s just the way we
Think about it I can see Grandy moving around back there he probably wants to say mbappe do you want to say mbappe is that the greatest that’s a name that popped up for popped in your in your in your mind sure there’s a there’s a conversation like greatest North
American athlete and World athlete what about world you could consider like track and field athletes you could consider soccer athletes you consider the non major sports in North what about oetkin well not anymore yeah not anymore I don’t think I’m just saying I I just so they still play hockey yeah there’s
This game called hockey dropped the puck go sharks yeah I mean those are those are the names momes throw that name into the conversation I like tatis I think he’s a freak dude I don’t even understand I like Odell Beckham Jr back in the day he’s a freak that those I’m talk not
Talking about the best player I’m talking about the best pure athlete athlete sure the guy that like mukie bets can bll a 300 in his sleep and if mukie Betts played football he’d probably be a damn good receiver and if he played basketball he’d probably like
Average 25 a game we’re only we’re a few years removed from I believe the the answer was LeBron you think yes the answer was LeBron not that long ago and maybe Kobe before that maybe Jordan before that yeah on the planet I mean most people I think when like they think
Of basketball players first when we think great athlete the other sports feel like it’s really diff one of the things that’s interesting about what you’re bringing up I think it’s an incredibly hard nut to crack to make this a baseball player that’s not the way people think yeah but mooki is
Making you think about it he’s incredible he’s incredible but it’s hard to say Willie Mays made you think about it and back in the day he probably was ah I mean yeah I mean if he’s pitching yeah yeah he’s not pitching not Pitch he hasn’t even homered yet that’s
A great answer by the way it’s a great answer now that you said that let’s I know I know sorry wait he’s going to pitch tonight is he the TBD I said he hasn’t even homered yet Show’s pitching for the Dodgers pass it on left-handed yeah anyway I just to me
That’s where that’s where this goes it’s it’s about and I know we want to make it political and we want to make it uh about men versus women and we want to scream and yell I I I don’t think for most people it’s about that it’s about
Television characters I could give a rip what sex you are what color you are what height you are where you’re from I do not care if you’re amazing at what you do and it’s interesting I’m watching yeah but if you’re 3 foot6 you’re not the best athlete on plan let me see what
You can do can you dunk you’d watch that dude Clint Howard was the mayor’s right-hand man and how the grunch Stole Christmas do you remember that absolutely sorry I just had to get I know all his movies Clint Howard is the greatest athlete on the planet when you
Watch him play with football no I like playing this game and and I like I like the fact that that that all eyes are on a sport that doesn’t get enough attention that’s great that’s wonderful that’s wonderful I just would love and I listen I get I understand I really do
But there’s a lot of finger wagging going on of like see see everybody should be promoting women’s sports now and it’s like sure sure but this is not the mic drop for that that you think it is I’d love for everything to be promoted I’d love for everybody to watch everything I’d
Love for everybody to be successful with what they’re trying to do but this is not this massive like written and ink thing now where it’s like everybody now wants we’re all lined up to watch women’s sports no we’re lined up to watch Caitlyn Clark do you watch Love is
Blind I don’t how about love on the Spectrum no great shows I highly recommend both here’s the here’s the other thing you may not know about me yet you could list all the shows and my answer will be no do you think I see the game and then I go to sleep serious
Serious question I’m not very diverse like I got a lot of holes in my game when it comes to this wait I I said that that the they should name the the Women’s Basketball team here The Golden Girls that’s my nickname for the team they should call him that what if
Caitlyn Clark is I know it’s probably not going to happen oh would I buy a ticket hell yeah she’s going to move the WNBA we need to get her here and I’ll start I will go to I will get season tickets to WNBA if she’s totally oh my
God I would love that I’d bring all the kids to watch The Golden Girls so fun whatever they’re called The Golden Girls they play the theme song and they all run out of the tunnel from The Golden Girls whatever I don’t think they would like that I’m on something I’m on to
Something I don’t think they would like that very much um did you see that she got offered a big old check by the big three no yeah I CU they they just came out and said it they offered her $5 million to go join the big three Caitlyn
Clark play in The Big Three and actually she can do it alongside the WNBA so she may be available for viewers and Watchers and all that in multiple platforms I think that’s great I think it’s great too yeah um okay we’re presented by Fremont Bank full service
Banking no compromises there is a way by by the way that this could have what we’re talking about could have fixed the Giants within the last two years um which I’ll explain Clark was signed as a free agent to the Giants no they sell out and then the Golden Girls are going
To run out to thank you for being a friend I just I got it dude I got ideas over here you really lined that one up oh God okay uh more on that in a second here 888 957 9570 that’s the number fp’s in for dibs wether in dibs
Hey Dan dibbley here for Fremont Bank it’s my bank a family-owned bank and it’s a family-owned bank with a familyowned feel and when I [Applause] Yeah [Applause] n N [Applause] Now back to Willard and dibs on 957 the game nice musical interlude yes FP is in for dibs 888 957 9570 is Jonathan kaminga touchable or not more on that in just a second I mean when the Giants were putting everybody to sleep the last couple of years um my lovely uh the
Lovely christe how she doing in the pool by the way excuse me how’s she doing in the pool why you bring it up now I don’t know I’m just asking you didn’t bring it up when she was crushing everybody I did too we talked about it she was in first
Place forever yeah allair you talked about it oh how’s she do it now not so good all right yeah she had Houston when yeah so am I I had Houston I went 0 for four on Final Four I had two I got to the final six with like a legit chance
To win the whole pool uh but then that was it I needed Illinois to beat Yukon and I needed Tennessee to beat uh Purdue and uh Purdue and Yukon reminded everybody that they’re the two best teams and uh that was the end of that ‘s like when you remember when you had the
Nerf hoop on your door in your bedroom I have that now my I have a 10-year-old that’s how he plays basketball like like the frop in your bedroom we’re all so good that nerfoop will make you think that you could have been a an absolute Pro you could have done it Baseline
Jumpers all day on the N my God if just nothing but net you know what I mean if the we used to work up a sweat when I was 10 11 and 12 it’s just a lather playing ner my dad and I my friends would come over we would play like games
Against each other and you dunk and you break it and everybody would cry because you broke the hoop off the door it’s the greatest invention ever and the Nerf football both of those gosh if only the rim were a little bit lower I could have been playing tonight
I could have been playing in this game you could have you could have I was good enough anyway just can’t jump um no she used to say uh the lovely christe used to say you know what the Giants need um they need a scandal they need somebody to punch somebody oh I
Think we’ve had plenty of those over the years well but here’s obviously she’s joking but you get what I’m saying like let’s be real the warriors were coming out of a championship two years ago and a reality television show broke out in training camp like I I I know that you
Know you you’ve actually sat here for the last 48 hours on a platform of no drama and and I get it and you’re coming at that from the perspective of what will help the Warriors win and there’s nothing that helps a team more than winning I’m not suggesting otherwise but
I think that fits into the conversation we were just having that was driven by Caitlyn Clark and the idea of Television characters the Warriors had a really good ratings year last year we certainly did and I’m not stupid enough or egomaniacal enough to be like well we’re
Very good radio hosts no Draymond Green punch Jordan pool that’s television characters yeah but there was a crap season and it was derailed before they even played one game and they had no chemistry and it was over before it started I’m not suggesting that that’s what you want I’m
I’m suggesting that that works in the world of American content in 2024 I I’m not suggesting we should all do that let’s all start punching each other but what do you think would happen if I told our YouTube audience right now okay everybody listening uh you go
To youtube.com/ 957 theame you go to twitch.tv/ 957 the game FP and I are about to come to blows numbers go up or down I don’t know it’s violence I’m a lover not a fighter same I don’t know I think I mean I I I don’t like to listen to contentious
Radio that’s just me that’s my music that’s my music ear that’s fine I like I like you don’t have to agree on everything but there’s a way to agree way to disagree I think professional and I don’t yelling and screaming is not my thing on the radio chill I I choose to
Yell and scream when I’m in my car by myself and somebody cuts me off exactly that’s the only time I yell and scream or when I used to make lots of outs um but my helmet used to take the brunt of it used to go through four year no but
Seriously though like I I want winning winning is what draws me to Sports not not all the extracurricular crap I don’t want that from my team I don’t want that I want that on on uh Bravo when I watch Real Housewives I want that when I watch
The Bachelor when I watch sports I want to see my team be good like the ners with no drama and a bunch of guys that care about each other that are in it to win it and there’s no egos that’s what I gravitate to but you’re still I still
Feel like we’re having two different conversations at once you’re saying what moves a needle is drama again what like you’re asking these teams that we are emotionally attached to do you want them to be dramatic or do you want them to win win agreed now now let’s go broader
Because how many teams are you really like I am emotionally attached to their outcome to okay do you watch others yeah why because they’re good well maybe this is just because you played professionally yeah you know what I mean like there’s nobody listening to us right now that’s like I was watching
The Pirates play the Reds because they’re good I like watching Mike Trout F I like watching the Philly why do you like watching the Phillies Trey Turner and Bryce haror those are television characters okay do you know what I mean like yeah good players right but that’s all Caitlyn Clark is like
She’s a standout she’s a complete standout yeah but you’re trying to I I might be misunderstanding so help me you’re trying to say like giants would be more relevant if they got in a fight no no no that was a joke that was like chrisy used to joke because Draymond
Punched Jordan pool and you’re sitting here and you’re going Warriors Giants Giants and Warriors and whatnot she’s like giants need somebody Scandal somebody needs video of kapler at a bar doing something he not supposed to be doing and then you guys would all be interested I I know this is we are the
Flagship for the Warriors I get that but like tonight where’s what are you watching both no but I mean if you had to make a choice not you but like everybody well the war it’s not just a Giants game it’s Giants Dodgers the warrior and it’s not just a basketball
Game it’s it’s Mavericks Warriors and they’re playing for their playoff life right now by the way what’s happening on NBC Sports Bay Area what do they show the Warrior game or the Giants game I think they have alternate channels they they double channels I think the NBC Sports the oo everybody’s scrambling in
The other room talking to each other like I don’t know I don’t know they got all kinds of them yeah no no no I I know they got the double Channel what is it is that they got the plus yeah the plus is that is that all it is which one’s on
What my guess would be that the Warrior game does more people I would I would agree with you that’d be guess it’s also on TNT tonight okay that puts a dent in it a little bit although the Giants game might be on MLB TV yeah but that not everybody has that
MLB Network MLB Network yes I mean maybe I think it is I think it is doesn’t it say over there uh I think it’s the Wednesday night feature game if I’m not mistaken no the red at philes red that’s tomorrow that’s tomorrow what about tonight I don’t know tonight what is MLB
Network playing I just want know what Bay Area fans want to watch tonight and I think it would be the Warriors if I had to guess well um some would say just basketball versus baseball others would say like what’s on the line the Warriors are so much further into their season right there’s
A lot more implications on the line for the Warrior game than the Giants game and how many more games do we get to see everybody together there you go is this the end of an era why did you say it like that is it I mean if if if Clay’s wearing a Laker
Uniform next year it is oh God which would suck if Draymond gets traded you might have like however many games left to watch this this group together the the core guys that have given us so many Thrills over the years Mark Spears who is a uh a longtime NBA reporter and
Voice recently said I cannot imagine the Warriors not having wholesale changes this offseason well then you got to lock In you might not see Captain clay driving his he might be driving his boat I don’t know in on the inter Coastal waterway in Orlando next year Warriors live in one hour right here on 957 the game Cape Canaveral yeah out in the ocean I I do think this um I do think
That there is a little bit more of a Cutthroat vibe inside the warrior hallways than we think that that that would be my guess well a lot of times margan you know as well as anybody you get you get loyal to people that have given you so many championships and thrills and they’ve
Been such good players that you can paint yourself in the corner with certain contracts where all of a sudden you’re like whoa the Phillies come to mind on that one when they signed Ryan Howard and Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins to these contracts and then at the end of their
Career they weren’t as competitive as they were I don’t know that the Warriors are there yet but like unless adjustments are made you could be that team no I think that happens all the time yeah um prior to Brandon Crawford suddenly getting MVP votes and Buster posy returning from covid and being
Freaking awesome prior to that the Giants fan base was totally upset at the thank you contracts that had been handed out they were exhausted by the two Brandon and Buster Posey but there’s no way around that I always try to remind people of that it’s like you have to
Remember how you felt in the moment you can’t get mad at a team um for uh for handing out that contract when the confetti is still flying out of the sky and they’re beloved and they’re all playing at the height of their powers and they’re free agents you cannot get
Mad at the team because they resigned them and and and that that is by the way that is how I felt last year about Draymond Green there are people at this station there are plenty of our listeners who wanted Draymond to not be resigned I wanted him
To be resigned I also think that it wasn’t as easy as people think to let him go because he wasn’t actually a free agent he had an opt out I don’t even know if he would have opted out if he didn’t know that he had another Warrior
Contract waiting for him I don’t even know how that would have gone he was under contract for this year already so he opted out to get a new deal because that was on the table so so I I like I I don’t know man I when I look at a team
And they hand out that deal in the shadow of greatness I get it I get it and I’m okay if five years from now it’s a little annoying I’m going to remember that I five years ago I wanted the team to sign that contract are you a Sentimental fan
Where you would rather see clay Be A Warrior’s whole career and and it tails off a little bit more every year little bit based on miles on the car I mean nobody’s ever beat father time it’s nothing against a guy I love him little
Bit little bit I am yeah I am too I’m a same uni retire and the uni guy Joe Montana as a Kansas City chief sucked Jerry Rice as a Raider sucked Brandon Crawford as a cardinal sucks right now I’m I’m I’m kind of a softy when it
Comes to that I know it doesn’t happen it’s a business and you’re going to chase the money at the end of your career whatever you can get but I’m kind of a Sentimental fan you know what’s interesting about that first off you’re listening to 9957 the game kgm CFM and
HD1 San Francisco always live on the free Odyssey app twitch and YouTube powered by First noral Credit Union I think a lot of people you feel that way in the moment and then you’re like during the season you’re like oh why don’t we sign it back he terrible you
You will watch the bill walshes and Eddie dartos of the world just get tons of praise for remember get rid of him a year too early rather than a year too late right they get praised for that but not in the moment not when the decision
Is made if the Warriors let clay walk my prediction most of you are going to be really mad of course you’re going to have a hard time and it it’s it’s no different than um like having Twitter muscles right you you’ll you’ll rip the celebrity on Twitter and then if you ran
Into that celebrity on the street oh my God can I get a picture can I get an autograph it’s the same thing here I think a lot of you right now have muscles with the idea of I’ve had it Draymond and and and Clay is washed and
It is time to cut bait well and then they actually do it and you’re going to be like oh god oh oh they did it oh this doesn’t feel that good and you see who they sign and they just don’t look right in the Warriors un you like you did that for for
Him well yeah but I but I do think that Joe lobs got a little Bill Walsh in him I do I do think the Warriors are having conversations right now that we wouldn’t be comfortable with if we were privy to them what what do you think about just
Letting it play out first before you have those conversations or do you have to be proactive as an organization have those right now well of course they’re going to play out they’re going to play out but but I think they they have to do their jobs their jobs are to be ready
They’re going over scenarios right I agree right I mean if you’re done Ley you’re you’re going over right now if this then that what else is available to us how could we approach this the season might be over in two weeks two weeks from tomorrow night is
The 910 playing game The Warriors are probably going to be in it and they’re probably going to be underdogs all right how do we feel if the season ends in that game and what is available to us and how do we want to look call 30 ask him what he thinks
Because we got to be ready for that second that it happens if it happens isn’t that his job it’s not his job it’s not no it’s not done leave his job to be ready for I thought you said Steph Curry’s job is it done Le’s job to be ready for that
Absolutely for that moment yeah I thought you meant 30’s job no like no even though he’s probably on it it’s not his job his job is to go win game his job is to shoot the ball he shoot the ball a lot we make a lot yeah that’s just a weird thought dude
That’s a weird thought to go down that road that those guys might not be together next year and I know they’re a 10 seed and the OSHA gets into it but like the sentimental part of me is that that would be like it’s just hard to even fathom at this
Point but yeah you keep going back to yeah but how is it playing out right now they’re a 10 seed that’s what they are with this group I countered with today if you cut all the drama out and you don’t have the drama which I don’t know
How you do and if Draymond was playing every game as much as he means to him and what we saw against San Antonio the other night and well how many games did he miss like 17 18 this year because of Draymond yeah H I don’t have the number
For at least that I mean to put you no it’s at least that many he’s also missed some because of injury and you could argue that they would be a they wouldn’t be playing for their playoff lives right now so I think and I could be wrong and
Mark Spears knows way more about basketball than I do and he’s around it more I’m not there every day I don’t I think you Tinker here I don’t I think you blow it up I think you bring back clay I think your I think your statement
Runs the risk of almost being a little myopic which is which is every time it doesn’t go well you do the if if I’m just saying there the all the drama they a coach died in front of them this year sure a player was suspended that they need on the court every day
Because he had his own agenda of being mad at people self ined self-inflicted wounds like I then you have Wiggins for family reasons that leaves and they kaminga saying I need to play more and if you it’s probably impossible to cut all that out but if you do they they’re
They’re they’re not playing for their playoff life they’re solidly in the playoffs right now and I don’t know where maybe you could we we could all play that game the one but I think this team’s a lot better than a 10 seed if dot dot dot and
That’s a big if right I mean the one that is most out of their control obviously is the tragedy around coach decki right however I don’t think that you can argue that that caused them to lose games they went on a huge winning streak when they came out of that they
Took a week and a half off and they came back to basketball and played probably their most inspired stretch of the year so I don’t know as much as that was like on a personal level so tragic and hard to stomach I don’t think that that hurt
Them in in the standings Draymond did totally self-inflicted and the centerpiece for my argument that I don’t think the Warriors can avoid drama because he he has shown he can’t avoid these kinds of things it’s reasonable to assume there will be more suspensions if Draymond is still on the team next year
The Wiggins thing was only four games I’d argue that’s mostly out of your mostly out of your control too we don’t know what what it was that’s going on Andrew certainly feels like it to it needed his attention and and and that’s that’s totally fair I just it’s like
Maybe I feel this way if your if your point is the only way we can really be good is if everything goes perfectly I like can you expect everything to go perfectly that seems unreasonable no I but I also said if you Tinker too much and you start blowing things up and then
They’re just players and uniforms but I’m sure they’re going to get guys that want to play for Steve and this is a it’s a destination you want to play for Steve cry you want to play for the Warriors they’re the biggest brand in the NBA right now why wouldn’t you if
You got traded or you’re free agent it’s not like listening and then you it’s lessening is it I think so I don’t I don’t know that was actually a question I had cuz lob said that recently like we’re the Warriors and I’m like you’re the T seed but don’t you want your owner
To say that yes and I want like we’d be lucky to have somebody come and play for the Warriors I wanted I want to believe it to be true but I don’t really no like what does drive a free agent I understand that you need to in the NBA
Largely you like you want to be in the big markets you want you want to be on TV a lot I want to play for Steve I want to play with Steph okay although some players would argue like if you’re really a great player maybe you don’t
Maybe you don’t want to play with another one you know what I mean Dame Lillard did not originally want to be a buck that’s not where he was headed he wanted to go to the heat it’s CU Milwaukee it’s cold right I think he also still wanted to right he wanted to
Be the main guy that’s not a big market and he came from a small Market to another small market right but with a chance to win a championship um but I don’t know if the Warriors are the same destination that they used to be I don’t you know I don’t like yes
They’re more of a destination than Sacramento I don’t think they’re the destination free agent wise that the Lakers are how come nobody talks about the Warriors in San Francisco but they talk about the Giants being in the city of San Francisco nobody body ever says well the
Warriors are in San Francisco I’m not going there I I brought that up four weeks ago well when that when this stupid thing was going on I’m still like I’m I’m GNA forever be mad at the Giants for for talking about this as much as
They did because it made it real and and and you know this the baseball culture and the basketball culture are two totally different things but I can’t tell the Giants that it’s not a thing cuz they’re saying it’s a thing they’re the ones experiencing this I just
Thought trumpeting it only made it worse but I think what you just asked was a great question like you would never hear about like oh gosh NBA would love to join the Warriors but woo the tenderloin yikes not going there I mean what it’s absurd it makes
You laugh it’s an absurd thought and their their their arena is literally on the other side of the parking lot of the one we’re talking about well they just had a championship a couple years ago too and if you want to do that I just the whole the the city and the
Player I mean in Montreal we used to take the thing the the whatever the thing is there to the ballpark the Metro the whatever it was yeah but you’re never really in the city like of course not you’re barely even I mean half the year you’re not even here you don’t even
Know where you guys are be real how many times did you wake up and you didn’t even know where you were I told you I didn’t know where the charter was going a lot of times I’m like where are we going and who are we playing I’m sitting
On the airplane I don’t know I didn’t know my my teammates be like you don’t know we’re going to Philadelphia all right cool how would you pack or for how many days the trip was right but how you got to know like I’m not going outside I
Get on the team bus it pulls it in the stadium you’re not going to go out maybe maybe but I don’t I don’t yeah you went outop it maybe you had a few pops you’re going out tonight maybe this is today end with a why
Maybe let’s go to uh Bob and Marin hi Bob what are you doing you with Willard and FP I’m laughing at FP I don’t know I don’t go I don’t go out nope uh well I think the one thing I wanted to say will have I have to say that uh with the
Whole like did you sign Draymond too early and you sign clay next year I think they probably learned the lesson from Draymond so they’re probably not going to sign clay and at this point if Clay is getting more money to play somewhere else I think better for him go
Do what you need to do uh the one thing that you guys were talking about earlier I think I’m not one of those fans that’s going to say oh you know he’s wearing a different uniform so he’s going to be better I remember you guys brought up
Jerry Rice he actually went to Pro Bowl when he went to the Raiders the first year and I think Montana took Kansas City Chiefs to the playoffs but did point point is if they’re going to do what they need to do play at the highest level but they’re not going to win
Championships uh what the the Warriors organization need to understand do they have a Steve Young on the bench do they have an Aaron roders on the bench they don’t so they can’t really build moving forward so are they going to pay these guys and watch them like you know walk
Into the sunset and you know not be their wholesome when they were and they were winning championships probably not so I think their concentration this year has to be can they bring in that other person that’s going to bring them deep into the playoffs besides Steph Curry
Play playing the Lakers that’s fine with me yeah B I don’t mind Bob like to me the only way you have that conversation is if you’re willing to trade Jonathan kaminga are you at this point he hasn’t really showed me that he is the guy that’s
Going to take you to the promised land yeah as much as people want to hang a hat on like Jonathan kaming is the answer he’s not he’s not Steph Curry he’s not he’s not he’s not one a and he’s not one so he’s not going to be
He’s always going to be the second guy so you need that one guy that’s going to come in and say hey I’m the future and until Steph’s here I mean as long as Steph is here and that that person you have to find or draft yeah and that
Ain’t easy Bob thank you I mean that’s the thing I we get conditioned this is all fans of all teams like you get conditioned when you go on a run to think that you just get one of these people and you don’t you don’t get one
Of these people even if you’re a great organization I mean my God like like you know once uh once Kobe Bryant and Pal Gasol were done with one another how long did the Lakers go before they’re like let’s find our guy and that guy ended up being the guy that can just go
Wherever the hell he wants uh in in LeBron James then they were able to pull off the trade for Anthony Davis and all that stuff and they they they won a covid championship and okay that’s great but like what you do in LA yeah like La has got at the worst the
Disease of thinking that every Star belongs to you it’s a disease like they just believe if anybody plays well they’re like future Laker and and and it’s even for them in 2024 future Dodger I mean the more the money goes the higher the money go the problem with the Dodgers is they’re
Right but the higher the money goes you know what I mean like like over here is Giannis here’s Giannis he decided to stay in Wisconsin because I’d argue like when the best player in the game was making $10 million a year you’re like oh gosh
Right I need to well let’s live in LA let’s live in New York now with the way the world is so small and you’re making $55 million a year it’s like Blake Snell said I don’t care where the hell I am I can be anywhere an hour from now 55
Million in Wisconsin is 100 million good Lord easy right and if I want a home in LA and New York and I’d like to be there in an hour no problem private jet four homes let’s go to Europe for dinner like it doesn’t matter where you
Are so that that is one thing that I really wonder about especially as the curtain falls on step have the Warriors actually built themselves to be this destination they clearly believe they are I hope so I don’t know I don’t know if everybody’s just going to flock to the Warriors cuz
Chase Center I don’t know yeah I I don’t either but I know I’d want to play for Steve Kerr and that’s where I always go I don’t even know if Steve Kerr is gonna be here anymore after Steph’s not Steve only signed two more years prob my next year
Yeah yeah I know I’d keep kaminga and build around him I think he’s he get a superstar yeah perennial Allstar yes absolutely 21 years old just scratching the surface just figuring it out I hope developing right in front of our eyes into an a-lister I hope and if you trade
That a-lister for a couple who’s I don’t know but you’re talking about I’m not trading that a-lister you’re talking about the rub okay okay but what’s the rub the rub is line that you’re talking about doesn’t line up for Stu kaminga is ready right now he’s improv he’s the most improved player
I’ve seen in years and he might win that in the NBA do they have that might win that in the NBA then why are they the Ted because Draymond had an agenda this year and there’s drama around the team but you’re telling me that if Steph is still playing the way he is and if Jonathan is that established as a clear two then you’re not the 10 seed something something is not clicking the way it
Needs to click to actually contend like maybe have your one of your core three be available more and actually be on the court I don’t even know who the core three is I know the guys that wanton all the Championships Draymond clay and step yeah yeah I don’t think they can be a
Core 3 anymore you know that’s that’s that I mean that’s part of it uh Janet is in Berkeley hi Janet what’s up I I just have to say um you know you guys sound like a bunch of fair weather friends it’s like being agis it’s like
No one is going on and on about LeBron’s age and you know to kind of just rule stuff out and to say he’s too old he’s getting old and let get rid of clay whatever happened to the Loyalty that I’ve seen people have you know in New
York with the Yankees it’s like as soon as the guys stop playing you know 100% everybody’s ready to dump them and come up with something new what I mean I I remember hearing you guys talk about Jordan pul like he was the next Saving Grace for staff and look what he’s doing
Now where he’s at with the Wizards he’s doing nothing so age has nothing to do with your your Acuity and your ability to bring it and it’s like just give him a chance it’s like stop TR I wouldn’t you know if I were one of the Warriors I
Wouldn’t want to listen to the radio and hear this it’s terrible you’re supposed to be part of their fan base well first of all first of all Janet Jan I agree with you% I’ve been saying that for 4S I would not get rid of anybody Wow first
Of all no it’s not our job our job is not to Fan out that is not our job not even close Janet that’s number one number two I I would completely disagree that anybody at least on this show today has sat here and said all those three
Guys need to be out of town what I’d also say the number one response to you though is when you say I don’t hear people going on and on about that about LeBron yeah they do guess what the Lakers are the nine seed Janet we cannot ignore
Age these dudes ain’t the dudes anymore the data is everywhere so I love your loyalty I love your fandom I just said to FP five minutes ago and I have said for years on this station that I hope these three guys never take the uniform
Off but all I say and I and I know where you are on this if that’s what you want the Warriors to do then do not get mad at them for missing the playoffs for the next three years that’s the agreement you have to make they can’t be they’re
Not the dudes aren’t robots they’re not going to make the playoffs every single year let’s keep it real they’re not they’re not the The Bionic Man they’re just not they’re human beings agreed they’ve been playing since elementary school in aaou so these guys have done a
Dang good job with what they bring to to the Bay Area I am not going to shoot them down if they got to go out one at a time bang totally fair opinion Janet thank you it’s a good call it’s a great call but that’s that’s where I stand you
Have to pick one of the other and if Janet wants to be all in on loyalty and I get it I’ve got a lot of friends like Janet who are like they’ve done enough I don’t care they’ve won four rings if this takes us 20 years to get back fine
I love them that much great Fair opinion do not be on this station next year when they’re the 13 seed and say I don’t think that’s going to be happening maybe it isn’t but my it’s to me it’s an agreement if you want to go all in on
Loyalty then that’s your stance but you but you’re acting like clay can’t play anymore no I’m not I’m acting and if they keep him and if they keep Draymond that they can’t play anymore they’ll be a 13 did not say they can’t play anymore they cannot be the big three
Anymore they cannot be asked to be the core anymore they’re not they’re not available enough they’re not good enough they’re not young enough if Jonathan I mean you’re sitting here saying kaminga is a two well then that removes one of the big three from being the big three
What are they they’re the big one four and six like that’s what I’m talking about I don’t care if they’re still on the team I actually hope they are but you you you can’t have it both ways you can’t go all in on loyalty but and then
Rip the team if they’re not as good you have to be either loyal or Cutthroat and then that shapes your opinion as far as where it goes next year I I don’t need to put labels on these guys of what number they are if they can help me win basketball games is
All I care and I don’t know what role that is because that’s not my job but if I still think that they’re better than anybody else out there or as good as anybody else out there and they know how the system goes and they know like how
We do it here and I like them too and by the way Steve Austin might be one of the best athletes ever the bionic man that’s fair she said they’re not have you ever seen Steve Austin run the 40 it’s like a two4 that’s not true but yeah oh listen
I get everything you’re saying I get everything Janet’s saying I love these guys I hope they finish their career here here’s what a lot of you don’t want to acknowledge they’re the ten seed and they’re freaking out about the rockets and no FP I’m sorry I don’t want to hear
That it’s all because Draymond missed 20 games it’s not that’s a big reason they are largely healthy this year there’s intangibles that go along with the tangibles of missing those games and the drama that goes with it and me having to answer questions about that and me
Talking to all the guys on the team and us having meetings and my my focus being distracted to that instead of beating the Denver Nuggets on that night they they he did that I know and you’re the one who’s told me that you’re guessing that there are plenty of people in the
Organization who are done with him I know so why would we expect him to come back next year and play 80 games like I you got to bake all that in these guys are who they are and if you want to just stick the flag in the
Ground and be like we are all in on these three until their career is over great let’s do it let’s do the tour but understand that’s what it is it’s a waving tour you want Brandon Crawford to be the strong running short stop this year no
Okay like at a certain point you’ve got to decide are we loyal or are we trying to win because those are those are at times at odds that’s all I feel I got nothing against these guys I don’t want any of them gone I do want their roles
To be diminished too much is being asked of them they do need other people around them as evidenced by 10 seed they went three seed then six seed then 10 seed where’s it go next year I might I’m just dumb I think they’re better than 10 seed but they are at 10
Seed and that’s where we sit and that’s I get it you know what I mean yeah so um Mark in Oakland hey Mark what’s up hey thanks for taking my call I haven’t been able to listen for so long because of my work schedule and what an
Awesome surprise to hear you FP I would call your night show all the time that’s so awesome thanks dude was just so I was like whoa I didn’t know you were here that’s great and um I’m I’m a 10 seat at the station though thanks for calling dude it’s your
Voice in general I tend to agree with you on things and I often disagree with Mark has been my pattern when I would call before this I’m much more in agreement yeah I’m much more in agreement with you I think Bob Meyers was it was a almost malicious signing of
Of Draymond Green I couldn’t believe he did that and then left that felt not cool to me but what I don’t think anyone’s thinking about and even that caller about the Loyalty loyalty can go both ways was sticking by players when they’re injured and giving them huge contracts later in their career maybe
They could take a pay cut I don’t think they’re going to do that to bring in players but what I think people are forgetting more because Nostalgia is a disease and it does not pay off to get stuck in Nostalgia think about how this team and these championships happened in
The first place picks all three of those guys we drafted part of those picks came in trades I think it’s time to trade Steph Curry and get as much as we possibly can fight the bullet let go to Nostalgia get R trade Draymond if you
Can which I don’t even know if you could I think you might be able to get something actually for him but uh not sign clay for sure and it’s time to reveal if you want more championships and more guys that you care about and more people to have Nostalgia about you
Got to do what got you here so don’t forget what got us here it was through the draft and we could still probably get a haul I would have done it a year ago I’ve been totally down on this team for about a year and a half since the
Punch but uh and I don’t like how they handled that whole thing the team War Draymond but it’s time to do it get picks for them get rid of them it’ll be fun to watch so Mark Mark I’ve been I’ve been waiting for someone to bring this
Up this week and so I’m going to use you as a little bit of a sacrificial lamb here the trade Steph thing trade Steph Curry let’s talk this out for just a second even if even if FP and I can get over the emotional offensive nature of
What you’re saying that’s fine I’m not actually offended by it but tell take me through logistically how is Steph Curry trade in the NBA right now could even work what would you suggest who are we calling who do you want in return talk me through
That I would be going for pcks not who so much so the who you take could be more like trying to take people where you can create salary there’s got to be people that want him he’s a huge star he’ll put butts in his Beats and he can
Still play but think about how you got him you got a seven pick could we get a seven pick I would take a seven pick and some stuff that clears salary cap wow that’s what I would do I don’t even think that’s but you got to think about
What God is here I know in the moment it sounds crazy but have just just think through how did we get here we good Mark you also got to remember how many times they had the seven pick and it led to nothing you have to remember Todd Fuller you’ve got
To remember all of the seven picks and the lottery picks that were absolutely nothing hell the current GM of the Warriors was one of them like you can’t so that just feels to me what you’re suggesting is two things it feels like a a poor percentage play and thank you
Mark it’s great to hear your voice again it feels to me like a poor percentage play and secondly it does not even feel logistically possible the reality of a Steph Curry trade means that you have got to have enough money match to where someone is going to have to give back to
You significant player or players and no one’s doing that for someone who’s 36 years old because the only people in the NBA who have these significant players are contenders and they don’t want to trade their young star for your old star there just some things you never thought
You’d talk about on a Sports Talk radio show and that’s one of I’m not even I like Mark thanks for the kind words but I’m not even talking about that you guys can Talk Amongst yourselves probably a smarter response that’s probably better than what I did I mean you went there
And you’re being a professional and I get that but that’s not worth me even saying I don’t even think it’s possible I really don’t go ahead call the Nuggets can we have yage oh yeah yeah yeah yeah let’s do that what are we doing they’re not giving you Yannis for St it’s not
Even worth even joking about or talking about let’s go to Amy in Pacifica hi Amy what are you doing hey how are you guys doing what’s up I want to talk about these guys our three our big three the Elegance the beauty everything that they’ve given us it’s been phenomenal and I
Honestly yeah it breaks my heart thinking about losing them also I don’t think play be able to sail his boat anywhere else he’s got to go someplace with a bay if he goes away I mean the dude has a boat okay you got to give him
A a piece of water to be on he he won’t do well anywhere without water so I just want to say this I think that there’s a way to do both I think there’s a way to keep these guys and do the work that it takes to make them into pure mentors
There’s a beauty to that where they can be mentoring the people that are that are around them already they all have all the pieces honestly I don’t think this year has been as bad as it looks on paper we’ve had so many games where we almost won all these clutch games I mean
If you look at that there we’re like number four number three in so many of these different uh stats when you look at the stats so I I I think we got what we need right now we just need our people to become the mentors in the next few years
And kind of take what Steve Kerr has given them and I think he’s an awesome coach I think people don’t give him enough credit everyone wants to tear him down and say that it’s his fault because of this that and the other but I think they got something still and we I think
We’re going to go this year I I got hope I got hope Amy you’re you’re awesome thank you for calling and I wish that that’s how people thought I really do and there’s plenty of Amy out there Amy is not far off from where Janet was if
Let me say this if you love these three that much why don’t you marry them Amy and Clay s in a tree dude I love the emotion and the attachment you’re hearing the emotion and the attachment to fans that have grown to love these people and these players
Because of what they’ve provided with for us and and all the Thrills and the parades and the chills and the three-pointers and the high fives and the Great Moments and and nobody wants to let go of that and I get it and it’s beautiful agree 100% here’s the thing
All those words you just used the love and the joy and the glory and the attachment and you know what else that it’s also created I don’t know complete Irrationality I’m sorry like if you’re looking at this Warrior team and you’re going C but so many of the games were so close like just a little and they’d be the three seed but that’s a fan that’s what that’s how fans think again I’m not criticizing it it’s beautiful you’re
Right and I will firmly say it again if you love these three this much and you want to just watch the retirement tour I get it I’m not even telling you I’m not one of you but you don’t get to get mad at the team if they stink in two years like
Legitimately stink because right now they’ve got a game in an hour and a half and they’re not sure if at the end of the week they’re going to be ahead of the Rockets but a lot of you still grab that fact and go I think we can win the title this year you
Can’t if and if and if that’s okay with you great great let’s go on a boat ride with Klay Thompson for the rest of his career and Stephen Draymond I’m 100% with you there are days where I go one way there’s days I go the other way I lean
More than these the these days we like yes I just want Steph clay and Dre to finish in a warrior uniform I want to see it that matters to me I’d like to see if the team can put people around them Jonathan kaminga might be one of
Them and and and and just right adjust the roles and and it goes the way it goes and I’m not going to be mad at you if it doesn’t go well that’s worth it to me I get that point all I’m saying today is If is if that’s your point then you
Don’t get to be mad at the team if they’re not good in the next few years so there’s no way they win this year there’s no way they go deep into the playoffs in your opinion that feels like a yeah it feels like a stretch that feels like a stretch
But stranger things have happened so I can’t I can’t say there’s no way I can say there’s no way they win the title also if clay signs with the Lakers he can zoom around Frontier Island at Disneyland in his boat or there is a marina down or he can zoom around it’s a
Small world in his boat too I don’t think he actually allowed to do that and Pirates of the Caribbean you can zoom around that in his boat in their boat I don’t there’s a lot of options at Disney is what I’m saying if so and that’s a very slow River actually you’re not
Allowed to zoom around pirates in car water rides at Disney I’m just trying to think on the flly is there a log ride there I don’t think there is oh oh yeah what’s himac callit I what did what’s the one with the with the bear spash
Thank you thank you yeah but he might get hurt on that he might like null and void his there’s a big hill there there the whole thing called Catalina Catalina wine mixer Catalina Island yeah there you go isn’t that down there yeah there’s this thing called the Pacific
Ocean too he said Disneyland he’s said water rides Catalina is just an island trying to be realistic here dude I hope they Shock the World to do something crazy that would be so awesome that that would be fantastic I’m rooting for that I am not here to say that you should
Want one of these guys gone how the hell did anything that I said today translate that way I’m not here to say that if you like maybe it’s your tone maybe it’s just the tone on how you’re saying things Mark I have struggled with that in my life yes I have maybe you’re
Implying I know strongly that that’s how you feel and maybe you can’t fool the listeners they’re listening they know I know you all they know your Vibe right now and maybe they’re putting words in your mouth but they know your Vibe I’m such a know-it-all I know I know I
You’re not a know-it-all you just your Vibe is and I’m being honest is that they should move forward it is you haven’t come out and said like get rid of this guy get rid of that guy but like you’re kind of implying that they’re too old and they need to make adjustments
Okay and that’s fine that’s your opinion you get paid for that you have a great show and you have great ratings because of that I am implying that what is obvious and in front of us is that this roster is not good enough I don’t even know how that’s an
Opinion it’s a fact look at it sorry for the boy squeak what Danny Bon I just I know I just turned into Partridge Family Lucas at the beginning of the show was like you want Tim kirkton on Bobby Brady when his voice Changed I I like they’re the T seed everyone I wish they weren’t but they are they’re a couple bounces away and some suspensions away from being a four seat isn’t that what makes a good team in the NBA I love when people do that they’re like oh the games are close right it’s
The NBA the good teams win the close games everyone’s telling me it’s Peter Brady yeah Peter Brady it was Peter Peter some things change it was Bobby when Joe namoth came on there right I don’t remember bet you Joe was hitting on now that’s for sure I
Guarantee you offset he was just like hey I try to You Know Who I Am The Brady Bunch and Gilligan islands conversation only get us in trouble because the producers are too young and they look at us and they’re like I don’t get the joke that was every day after J it was
Gilligan’s Island and Brady Bunch Every day after school when he says Joe namoth was hitting on Alice Lucas do you have any idea what he’s talking about at all you know who Joe namoth is he play baseball yeah do you know what he means when he on Alice does that even resonate
With you 973 our sister station no like for real do you understand what he’s talking about dude Ron perosi was the pitching coach for the Giants and Joe Nathan got called up and he got on the phone in the Dugout at Candlestick and he said get Joe namoth up so Joe Nathan
That whole year was Joe namoth because peroski called him that I love that nice yeah okay does that have anything to do with your other story nope nope next time you tell a story have a point makes it so much more listening interesting for The Listener we moved on cuz we
Realized you didn’t know what we were talking about which means half our doesn’t know what we’re talking about oh they know can I address Dublin Marge real quick one of our great great Loyal YouTube listeners um gosh thank you for being here every day we don’t see this the
Same way I mean maybe she’s got the statement though that is the clear like maybe I should have thought of this five hours ago clear statement do you agree or disagree this roster is good enough for what well that’s a great way to answer it this roster is good enough
For what deep into the playoffs another parade for what you want I don’t know what you want do you want to just have fun and have a couple of rounds may maybe I have multiple personalities but certain nights I think yes and other nights I’m really frustrated yeah I
Believe this roster is not good enough they their fingernails are hanging on to a potential one game road playoff situation in Los Angeles that if it goes well earns them another elimination Road game against Kevin Durant or dearen Fox and if they win that it earns them a Road
Series against like the Denver Nuggets I don’t believe that’s good enough you can’t you don’t think this team has enough resume to flip a switch in the playoffs I’m not going to rule out but I’d certainly bet against it now now we now we go this is what we were built to
Do you don’t think that’s just other Champions waiting for them I love when we do that oh DNA like LeBron like Durant like joic all Champions that’s who’s waiting for you four of them though they can’t flip a switch they have four of them can’t they flip a
Switch dude they have four of them no they do well LeBron Le yes with like 18 different teams exactly no I’m I’m holding out hope and maybe I’m an idiot but I just I want to I can’t I can’t wait for this to play out
And I’m more focused on the Nuggets be a fan I don’t I don’t want you to not be a fan I don’t want you to not love these guys you I I just yeah you got to pick a side do do do you want the Warriors to
If this doesn’t go well over the next two week you know do you do you want them to be loyal or do you want them to be Cutthroat and go try to win I think you’d do both okay okay um not loyal to a f some would argue that that would be well
If you kept it exactly the same yes no team’s exactly the same year after year uh we’re sponsored by O’Reilly Auto Parts not done with your calls 888 957 9570 that’s FP Z for dibs wither and dibs these guys our three our big three the Elegance the beauty everything that they’ve given us
It’s been phenomenal check engine light on take the guess work out of your check engine light with O’Reilly ver scan it’s free ask for O’Reilly veras scan Today e e e e e e e e now back to on 957 the game I think both of us want to thank Janet we both feel like um she kind of took the show to another level shot of espresso yeah which I could always use I agreed with her 100%
Um I don’t I don’t I don’t disagree with her I don’t you’re being mean To no I always love passion no matter what it’s about but her her her point was I I tell you where I did disagree with her and people do this a lot um and I get it it’s a misunderstanding they think that we’re the flagship station of the Warriors so
Our job is to like run around in circles and get everybody all raah Rod up for the Warrior game tonight that’s not our job that’s not our job at all our job is to have a interesting conversation our job is to have a compelling conversation our job is to is to have
You want to listen and and be involved until you do a postgame interview and the guy won’t talk to you that’s all funny games I’m surprised you want to talk to me uh yeah I think Draymond might be one of the people that doesn’t understand
Our job that was tired by the way well it’s totally tired by the way and if Draymond if you’re listening uh inside the warrior locker room tonight I’d be the first I would say this to your face I think it’s kind of crazy that you would get mad at someone else for making
A controversial statement that’s not hypocritical you’re a say it guy you’re a you’re a throw it out there say exactly what you’re thinking and you’re going to get mad at media people for their opinion that’s kind of why that’s that’s kind of wild so that’s that you know but he’s also allowed to
Totally take it personal that’s also within his realm so that’s fine the but that’s the like Janet is speaking to her experience as a fan I can’t disagree with that that’s your experience as a fan but I can disagree with the idea that here we are at 957 the game and our
Job is to be like so his first name’s clay his last name name is Thompson and um he’s got great family his dad is Michael um and you know you are supposed to only love every single thing and let’s go come on there’s a game against the Mavericks tonight like that’s not
Our job that’s not our job I don’t even find that to be that interesting if that’s how we sounded no you get paid for your opinion and the reason you guys do so well is because you have those opinions and they’re they’re strong ones and I I
Recapping what I said earlier is I just I yeah you’re going to have most of the team back next year and I’m good with that you got to make some tweaks and I think if things had happened a little bit differently this year this is still a good basketball team with players that
Still can contribute maybe not as mightily as they used to but nobody does nobody’s ever beat father time and it doesn’t make them bad players or get rid of them or dump them on the side of the road because they’re getting into their 30s and in sports that’s old um I still
Think I still think or I should say I don’t think you just blow this thing up and overhaul everything I don’t I just never like that and maybe that’s the athlete in me that was treated and has been treated like a piece of meat before yeah so I’m over sensitive to that but
As a fan as a Warriors fan I still think there’s gas in the tank I don’t think these guys are leaking so much oil that you need to get rid of them you might be right like by the way this whole thing was based on the premise of if this ends
Two weeks from tomorrow but maybe it won’t maybe this is going somewhere this this season had a lot dude you could make an argument that last season started with a punch and it was never it was never railed it was derailed from the get-go but this season is like what
These guys have been through a lot sure I kind of feel some of it self-inflicted and the other the coach Dey thing is not a small thing dude no I sort of feel that way every April I’m like wow this has been a journey you’re with this team yeah I felt this
Way two years ago when they went in and won a title remember Steph was hurt yeah and they they played together for the first time in however many games clay wasn’t playing back to backs like it was a dude there’s a lot it’s a lot of stuff
I got another opinion by the way you need to stop talking about this station like it’s a they yeah you guys you guys get paid for your opinion and you guys stop stop that we we we Goose we we Goose okay I’m I’m the pilot in the back of the plane the
Navigator I’m the Navigator and you’re taking off there you go I’ll get us to where we’re going uh Matt in Oakland is where we’re going hey Matt what you doing what’s up Willard what’s up FP look man I want to tell you the reason you keep saying they’re at 10 seed
They’re at 10 seed look they got two rookies that are capable of starting right now they were not that in the beginning of the season they got a lot of experience under their uh under their belts for uh this season that Draymond stuff self inflicted Kay has had his ups
And downs they are better than a 10 seed they’re a 10 seed now because they did they had to develop even kaminga developed from the beginning of the season to now they are getting better you can do the two timelines I think the reason they couldn’t close games in the
Beginning of the season is because those guys are old they can’t when the fourth quarter comes around they don’t have the same juice that they had 3 four years ago so you got a point there so you do have to implement the young players in
Here I think even if they lose the play in or lose the first series you throw a e a a younger veteran in there for next for next season maybe you trade Wiggins or you know I’d like to keep Wiggins to be honest but you know you figure out
What kind of bait you can put out there to get a younger good veteran and I think this team can you know do some things you add you implement some of those young guys in there give them a chance to play give let them be the energy and you got something you don’t
Have to blow it up and this team is better than a 10 seed and you could see it they Draymond derailed the season with his Antics he’s got to do better but he’s still a very serviceable player I think you keep you keep clay as a sharpshooter and you know you try to
Ride Curry out as much as you can yeah Matt I like okay there’s got to be something in between these two points thank you Matt I appreciate it when he says or even you say hey they can do it just a they can do it as they are
They’re not a 10 seed even though I went to the game against Charlotte on February 23rd and I watched one of the weird NBA games I’ve ever seen the Hornets only scored 84 points they had 29 at halftime awful awful performance by them uh since then the Warriors are
11 and seven that’s who they are recently which is I think what his point was no no no they’re not a 10 seed anymore well well 11 and seven in their last 18 basketball games that’s kind of 10 seishou will maybe eight seed dis if you’re I mean like they’re not they’re
They’re not but what he’s saying is is oh there’s got to be something in between oh we don’t need to make any changes versus you don’t need to blow it up I’m not necessarily saying that they have to blow it up but you better be open to in my opinion something
Significant because everyone I’m hearing you you you guys keep doing the like if everything goes perfectly they’re still good well everything doesn’t go perfectly like if you say well but Draymond messed the season up except for in the next sentence you’re saying you should stick with
Draymond and and this is who he is you’re not going to get a different Draymond next year you’re not going to get a Dron that comes back and goes now we’re never going to get a technical again what if he did takes the whole season and the whole offseason and does
Therapy I thought I thought that’s what he did when he like in a microwave he was only suspended for what a couple of weeks do you think Draymond thinks that he needs therapy no that’s probably part of the problem I tell you what I’ve learned in the last 3 four years of my
Life if someone does not want therapy pointless exercise what I and I’m I’m going to end the show with my initial point just play basketball right but I don’t I don’t put the podcast down but they’re not cap he’s not capable this down and this endorsement down and just for one year
Just play basketball or at least for one week the end of the SE just play basketball like put all the BS down and be a 20-year-old again and fly around with your hair on fire like they did in the third quarter against San Antonio it was the most beautiful thing saw all
Season between Steph and Dre and they were just going back and forth and they just played basketball they reverted to teenagers again three on three winner keeps a court first one to 11 win by two that’s what I saw in the third quarter in San Antonio and that’s what gets me
Fired up when they play basketball when pods is diving for balls and and JK’s dunking on everybody and and draymond’s playing defense and Klay hits a couple clutch shots he didn’t need to go for double digits just hit a couple he knock in a run in the ninth inning hit a
Clutch shot in the fourth quarter that’s all you need to do and Steph be Steph and who knows what happens yeah but but I guess the difference between you and me is you you seem to think that they’re capable of that I do all the time I do I
Don’t the just play basketball sort of sounds like hey Draymond just behave you’re not going to there yeah I don’t know any I don’t have any evidence that would suggest he he will hey Wiggins just try hard every night maybe I’m just like fantasizing right now not going to
Yes of course they can have a cup of coffee and look like the old team but not not enough not often enough I don’t think well tonight’s going to be interesting we just talked about it for four hours I’m going to lock in I might watch that instead of the Giants and
Then watch the Giants on my laptop they’re both laptop it Lakers are blowing out the Raptors sorry right now yep fourth quarter they’re up by 22 uh they’re going to blow that for sure it’s lead at Minnesota drama are we doing it again tomorrow I think we are we’re doing it
Again tomorrow yeah do you want do again tomorrow tomorrow uh yeah Rockets are up by 3 3 minutes to go till half um I’m sure that Warriors Live will keep you up to date on that thank you all for all of the the interaction today absolute ton
