It's very simple, don't send out the stars on road games. The bench plays better road games by far. In almost all games where no stars have played home/road, they won…especially the road. Our bench doesn't get rattled by the road in my opinion, just my opinion.
MM made a great point about Ja & Wiggins situation being similar in terms of missing games.
They need Wiggins horrendously!!!
I just want to point out Molly Qerim's acknowledgment of how different mens struggles are and requires a difference of understanding was a breath of fresh air. A far cry from man hating Malika Andrews. A fair and balanced host.
Man show some respect for my boy looney. He is so crucial for the warriors defense it bothers me so much how people don’t acknowledge how much he contributes to the team, a rebounding machine. This team is not to be messed with when fully healthy
Warriors are champions and western conference semi gods UNTIL proven otherwise. Let’s see what everybody got for them.
We just need wiggins back
Love M&M but Stephen A. Please give her one of your jackets.
You moonlight here 😂😂😂😂
I love whenever Monica is on First Take. More of her please ESPN
Now I'm confused at 9:28 Is Wiggs away because of family matters or injury???
Who’s next for Nike 😂
Not sure about her takes or fashion but this sista is gorgeous…
σταματα να μιλας μονο για τους αμερικανους παιχτες ρε βλακα, ρεζιλι εχεις γινει, αμερικη εχει τριακοσια εκατομυρια και η γη εφτα δις
Did anybody else notice they spelled warriors wrong at the top of the screen 🫠
Molly had me rolling, "you don't even work here" 🤣🤣, 👍❤️. Pura Vida
She said CHILDEEEE lolol
M&M
Hi.stephen A what happen to Broklen.Nets you.said the reason they are losing Because of white coach. Now what?
Stop living your life in the front yard
The Dubs are just like the Honey Badger, they don't give a fawk. In the playoffs, it's a whole different story. The won't drop back to back on the road.
The West in general missed a great opportunity to knock these guys off while they were down. All this talk and they are the 5th seed today.
That being said, no Wiggins, no title. He’s their 2nd best player.
she has a deep voice
Stephen A, in my opinion, is correct in his assessment. The Warriors front office caused these problems by extending the other players before Draymond and not making the public announcement that "we value Draymond and will handle his extension appropriately in the future. As it stands he was disrespected by the front office licensing disrespect from some of his less knowledgeable team mates.
Its possible that they, the front office, don't understand how crucial he is to their past and continuing success.
Green cant fix a missing Wiggins and failed Wiseman experiment

Did ya miss me! Who got that Martin Varnell Hill reference.
This woke espn trash is actually unwatchable.
Monica is such a feast for the eyes! 🙂
In the Playoffs The only need to win 1 road game and 3 home games a series can they do that YES!!!
The reality of the situation is.. what I tell my girlfriend when we start to argue
Draymond didn't compromise his ability to lead, the snake that released the video of him punching Poole did that. Players all over the league will tell you that conflict and fisticuffs are, and have always been, part of the game. The Warriors leaked that video to support a narrative that would let them avoid fan backlash for not paying and retaining Draymond. They made their bed and will sleep in it. That Warriors crew will never win another Championship. But then again, they don't need to. Their legacy is already cemented.
Imma quote a Martin Lawrence line here: “and you still ain’t got a man!”
* forgot to add quotation marks
Steven A and a loud mouth short haired hyena and a thot. ESPN and Disney is disgusting. Boycott this bs.
Flipping the switch means you're slacking, lazy and complacent.
Which also translates to underestimating your opponents, that may lead to failing short in your goal.
why are you talking about 4 years ago? We just won it last year
I think they should keep Ja from playing until he completes what he needs to he has too much to lose and when he realises it
Don’t matter who you work for or what your profession is if it’s a personal matter they have no buisness asking for reasons why he’s gone it’s obvious why he’s goin in there but like most job owners get wrong if it’s personal they have no right to know just Bc your paying them Ms don’t mean nun right it in their contracts if you wanna know cuz if it’s that serious you’d have it in a contract clause but no you wanna pick and choose when to act on these “rights”
SAS is so annoyingly obnoxious
Another thing to notice this season is that warriors didn’t have a single blow out win like they used to constantly have in the past. This translates to declining talent. Their starting 5 are still #1 in the league but it took longer to figure out the depth. Now when, JK, Donte and Poole are clicking Wiggins seems to be out of the season which puts the deep playoff run at risk.
All I know that the #8 seed will be the surprise 🙂
We don't wanna know why. We want him to get better. He ain't kawhi
Just leave looney off the list MM?
Warriors can flip the switch anytime…. who hired her
Monica sounds like a guy
Bro her takes are horrible g please stop bringing her on first take
2:42 your welcome.
It so weird how people are so skeptical of accountability. All accountability is, is the opposite of an excuse. The chick across the table had the strangest face looking at Stephen a as he spoke about Morant, like she was waiting for him to say something wrong. ESPN is just weird. I get a debate show, but you don’t have to act like your in a tv show, it’s okay to be friendly.
