Klay Thompson Recaps Warriors Win Over Wizards | Dec. 22, 2023

What did you think of the uh the the pool video in just the night for oh it was great gave me chills watching that tribute video and it just shows you how fast time really moves when you play pro ball and uh it was great to see the fan

Reception for Jordan he deserved it it was like walking down memory lane watching that tribute video was special what what do you think of how I mean Trace these past two games in particular but him jsky Jonathan all of these young guys have really stepped up

And also gotten a lot more uh it’s like playing room and time than in your past um yeah it’s the nature of the Beast uh we’ve had injuries guys out the lineup and our rookie class has been really special this year uh I know BP didn’t shoot the ball as well he wanted

To tonight but he fills up the stat sheet every time he’s out there and he plays as hard as he can and he made a huge impact obviously with the best plus minus of the starting five and then when it comes to trace Jr his ability to keep

Blocking shots and rebound and catch lobs it’s a another Double D two in a row double doubles it’s we got a steal two steals do do you follow the draft like on draft night I’ll watch the first 10 picks because it’s such a cool uh such a cool experience for young players

But uh it’s hard to keep up the whole time but it’s always fun to watch the draft do you like check in at the end of the draft like who did the Warriors get or like do or do you just learn when you go to Camp essentially yeah I I’ll I’ll

See who we draft yeah oh yeah I’m mostly asking because you know I mean you got Trace 57th wow and I mean are you coming to Camp you know I mean you guys have had you know pcks come and go late pick sometimes not even on the roster like

When did you know like oh you know we got a center at 57 that can play now uh well I just look up his resume in college and it was incredibly impressive I mean he averaged like 20 and 10 and um was a player of the year I think in

His conference or at least an All-American and anytime you get a player like that who’s ready to contribute um it’s awesome could you tell in Camp yeah I could tell he uh could be a force in this league talked about Brandon’s hustle he’s among the league leaders in charge

Has taken Moses is up there in charge is taken took another one tonight what is that sort of the fact that the rookies are doing sort of that gritty under the radar stuff how much does that matter and what kind of boost does that give the

Team oh it’s huge it’s why they play so many minutes and uh it’s why they continue to stay on the floor is because of the hustle plays they do make and uh Brandon saved a game for us this year from one of them and mo continues to

Smant himself in the rotation because of that hustle he brings just a quick followup what was that like in Portland as Steve said it’s pretty rare very rare to see basically a game-winning charge it was awesome and uh one of the highlights of the season and has allowed

Us to continue this win streak so hopefully tomorrow go for win number five and go to Denver with a free swing clay you’ve obviously played against guys who have been your teammates before or go elsewhere what first game against somebody after they’ve been your teammate especially for several seasons in a title like

Jordan is is that almost like you know he’s not here but does that kind of make it sink in that you know this is just an opponent at this point um yeah it was weird but uh still got to be a pro and go out there and win the game at that point

Jordan’s our opponent after the game you can reminisce about all the great times which we will do and it’s nothing more than that what’s kaminga giv you guys kind of consistently lately um an incredible finisher in the paint incredible Defender and just someone who is so good

Attacking the rim and getting the free throw line adding a whole new dimension to our attack on offense nice it cool thank there you go up
