Dog wild kylin great to see you happy Martin Luther King Jr day and that was disgusting I I I call this game a must-win for the Golden State Warriors considering how bad of a team the Memphis Grizzlies are considering all the injuries they’re facing this year and despite that the Golden State

Warriors uh look 30 free throw attempts is was the difference between Memphis and and Golden State I know there’s a lot more to break down this is draymond’s greens first game back I’m slow how are you and what’s your reaction take it away talk the whole

Show if you want great to see you kylin Cyrus that was the most epic intro we’ve ever done to any show she’s kylin Mills and I’m hung over I’m gonna like take that and use that uh um but that’s I’m glad we’re finding something to smile about and laugh about

Because this was an embarrassing performance you pointed out the Grizzlies have been decimated by injuries jiren Jackson Jr um the only starter available for this game the rest I mean we’re talking about two-way guys playing players who are 22 23 years old putting up career highs GG Jackson

Junior uh finished or GG Jackson rather had a career high 23 points Vincent Williams Jr another second round pick in his third year in the NBA puts up a season High 24 points it just it was horrible all the way around this was a game that was winnable

For the Warriors they went in as seven and a half Point favorites and they couldn’t deliver even with Draymond Green back in the mix um you know they did shoot lights out from Beyond The Arc the Grizzlies did but you can’t just say every single game oh well teams are just

Shooting well against the Warriors at some point the defense has to get better the Warriors have to figure something out they’re 29th in the league in defensive rating perimeter defending is not good Warriors are are they that bad now yes oh they’re down there or maybe

That was just 29th in the league when Draymond Green was out but no I think they’re 29th I don’t know if that was just between Draymond Green double check double check the stat s um but they’re way down there um I’m not disputing it I just haven’t looked I hav’t I haven’t

Looked that number up in a little while yes I I believable it’s just crazy literally just I literally just read that but actually now that you mention I think it might have been during Draymond since Draymond Green went out their 20 since December 12th was the last time

Draymond Green had played I think the last month for sure they’ve been 29th in defensive rating only ahead of the Detroit Pistons the worst team in basketball um so at some point it’s not just other teams hitting shots the Warriors have to do something defensively um turnover sloppy play 19

Turnovers you pointed out the fouls yes if you want to look at the disparity 40 to1 it’s easy to point the finger at the referees but at the same time I just thought this was a sloppy game by the Warriors um and it was a game that

Should have been winnable I did didn’t like the starting lineup uh Steph Curry Klay Thompson Andrew Wiggins cavon Looney and Dario shich uh we’ve talked about the Warriors are getting old at some point turn it over to the youngsters Jonathan kaminga coming off back-to-back 20-point performances I know there’s actually

Some disparity right now about how people think Jonathan kaminga played I was looking in the chat um but regardless I just that lineup did not make sense to me surprisingly though they did win the first quarter so maybe I’m wrong why did Cory Joseph play s

Minutes in the first half I thought when he went in there was a momentum shift his minutes were not uh contributing I I don’t think it was positive I just there’s so many things wrong with this team right now it’s hard to figure out where to start the starting lineup the

Rotations like all of it it just it’s not good well let’s start with uh I mean this was the Draymond Green first game back in over a month yeah and folks side know by the way uh yeah but my dad had my dad and I went to dinner last night I

Drink maybe twice a year now which is a far cry for my Glory Days um I feel like myself 20 years ago if he heard that that I I drink two times a year now he would be shocked but you know it’s it kills productivity and you know it’s bad

For you so I Mell it out but you know when I do drink this is who I am so I apologize for being slow a little bit if I don’t make sense I’m doing my best here um look the first thing is Draymond Green comes back I didn’t think he

Looked bad I I thought he was a decent facilitator offensively he had a three he hit a nice three in the first first half that I was like and he hit a second one where his foot was on the line which unfortunate um it l like it was a three

Yeah it did yeah and it was just short I thought defensively he was good not great he didn’t really stick out look first of all the I guess I bring him up besides the fact that it’s his first game back in so long but when you’re your the free

Throw disparity is this extreme I I don’t I mean 40 to1 in terms of free throw attempts to put it in perspective the the Memphis Griz Grizzlies outscored the Golden State Warriors by 23 points just from free throws and they won this game by nine so it might be overly

Simplistic to point a finger at the free throws as being like the fundamental difference here but you can’t ignore it either and I guess the question I’m asking you kylin and I don’t know if you agree with me on this or not um do you think draymond’s comeback had anything

To do with that meaning like Dre’s back in the lineup and right away first game back officials are giving the other team 30 more free throw attempts is that just a coincidence I I saw a lot of shady calls you know a lot of calls that were

Not made when I saw a Warriors players getting fouled left and right I I it seems sus to me what are your thoughts um I mean I don’t think it just has to do with Draymond like I just think that the Warriors are referee harder than other teams in general like

I think that Steph Curry doesn’t get calls that other teams get and I feel like that’s just just kind of the Warriors luck and I don’t know if that’s a direct result of Draymond being on the team or just because you know of whatever and now you got Chris Ball

Who’s got beef with refs as we saw earlier on in the season you know for whatever reason I don’t think the Warriors ever get the benefit of the doubt from the refs so I don’t know necessarily if this was a Draymond specific thing but I just I don’t want

To look and blame this game on the refs because I just think the Warriors have so many issues that need to be figured out um I I just don’t think for me that’s not the number one thing I can point to like 19 turnovers is a huge

Problem uh I think they were giving up way too many wideopen threes uh let me look the Grizzlies had too many steals that were just I felt like were presentable what did they finish with 13 13 Ste I’m I’m not saying just real quick I’m not for the record I’m not

Saying that’s the reason it’s just it is an outlandish and outrageous disparity I mean that like I feel like if it was any other team if this was let’s say a playoff game and after the game you’re noticing a disparity like that it would be news grabbing headline it would be it

Would be I mean it was egregious look obviously this team has much bigger issues kylin for starters this is the third oldest team in the NBA right this is also the smallest team in the NBA I you and I have been clamoring for a trade for a long time and I don’t think

There’s any doubt it’s needed um you know I again I don’t think the recipe for success is being old and small um I don’t know what do you think about that um yeah no no and I think like the definitely you could look at the refereeing as a factor but I completely

Agree I think the Warriors are older and smaller than other teams and the NBA is changing and I don’t think that Steve Kerr has changed I don’t think the philosophy has changed like I think the Warriors need to update what they’re doing um to try to keep up with the rest

Of the league and I don’t think they’re doing that right now um to me they need to make some major roster changes before the NBA trade deadline it’s looming just 20 plus days away and there’s got to be some changes I think the Warriors need to go bigger um and

They need to go younger and there are young pieces on the roster right now that I think should be getting more opportunities I know we keep talking about Moses Moody but he’s injured now with a calf strain but when he comes back would love to see him get more

Opportunities it was an unfortunate timing on his injury because he had back-to-back 20 point nights and then gets hurt but to me evidence that he should be getting more time because he can never crack 20 minutes rarely finally does and he puts up some solid minute or some solid points but I think

The Warriors need to look younger and they need to get a four and a five like I I like Jonathan kaminga but you pointed out JK really could be a three and I still would like Jonathan kaminga with the Warriors organization but cavon Looney is too slow I’m sorry he’s too

Slow you add in Dario shich don’t mind him but he’s not the most athletic guy either so what do we got down there Trace Jackson Davis is a rookie he can’t be responsible for a majority of the workload inside it just it’s baffling to me um the roster construction was a concern

But to me now it’s a glaringly obvious weakness um that the Warriors need to get yeah a four and a five both um and then at some point why is Andrew Wiggins starting why that’s I’m glad you brought that up was baffling to me as well we

Can get into that let’s definitely get into that because that is baffling I’ve been holding my tongue a lot just trying to you know be nice about the fact that Wiggins is starting again I Wiggins to me is is problem number one on this roster I when you there’s a lot of

Problems with this team but if you have to pick what is what does it start with in terms of why this is all falling apart to me Wiggins is at the top of the list simply because you counted on him you were counting on him to be your

Number two player you were counting on him for scoring you were counting on him for athleticism and defense I also have a theory uh I posted this on my threads account kyin and I’d love to share it with the audience and you when we come

Back in terms at least a part of the reason why Wiggins is struggling I I have a theory I I’d love to run it by you and everyone else um but we gota yeah we got to break it down in terms of of Andrew Wiggins I think he’s the trade

Piece if you’re gonna make a trade we got a lot to talk about folks one well that’s the only reason why some people theorize that he’s starting is because the trade value thing but like please don’t put us through that okay sorry go ahead no you’re right no no no I’m

Thumbs you up because you’re right you’re absolutely right it’s logically speaking let’s painful yeah let’s hope that’s what’s going on here uh and and uh when this first sponsor We Have Tonight better help I think is aopo I mean look this Warriors team is depressing uh anybody who’s a member of

Numbers in front I have them in front of me but I mean leading I do I have them leading the way in terms of scoring was staff with 26 points uh you know fairly efficient night but not great from Beyond The Arc 11 of 20 from the floor three of nine

From Deep he also did though chip in four boards eight assists two steals one block did have five turnovers though which St is typically up there in turnovers in regards to the team because he handles the ball so much also for fouls he finished at minus two which was

Nowhere near the team worst and can you guess who was the team’s worst in terms of the plus minus category S I want to see what your guess is oh I I I know the answer so I can’t guess um oh you know okay shoot yeah I was gonna say I didn’t

Mean to go from the best performances straight to the worst but um Klay Thompson I don’t think he should have played 34 minutes nine points four of 10 from the field one of four from Beyond The Arc zeros in the rebounding category Steals and blocks he did have three

Assists but was a team worst minus 22 and this is where I talk about Steve Kerr needs to evolve with the league at some point if the Vets aren’t playing well their minutes need to be reduced I’m not even calling for him to go to

The bench at this point which is what a lot of people want not opposed to that either but why is Klay Thompson with a team worth minus 22 playing 34 minutes yeah I don’t can you explain that to me the only explanation and this has been a gripe

All season and we’re not the only one saying this but just a side note everything you’re hearing from every other member of sports media who covers the Warriors we’ve been saying it for over a year now so you’re welcome on that front um but the Klay Thompson

Thing is to me is symbolic of Steve Kerr basically assuming going into the season that his starting five that a lot of people have have said you know a year ago they led the NBA in net rating that’s starting five we saw him briefly on the court together tonight with you

Know Soo results but Wiggins is done I don’t like we’re tomorrow the next not tomorrow the Warriors next play uh who is their next game Utah on Wednesday um that represents the halfway point of the NBA season kylin that’s 41 games at a certain point you have to

Accept the new reality which is that Andrew Wiggins is not his his old self and we saw glimpses of his old self briefly last year it was a season that was marred by injuries it was marred by illness marred by whatever kept him out I mean sham Shia reported it was his

Dad’s Illness but I I don’t I still that’s still weird to me that you know I look I’m not trying to diminish familial relationships and the feelings you have for parents and the effect something like that could have on you but he missed what three months because your

Dad is ill I mean that’s a little much to me and if that’s the reason I don’t get it I mean you’re a professional athlete this is your job most other uh employers out there do not give their employees three months off because you have a parent who’s ill so what whatever

Was going on this is the Wiggins we have now is is what you see what you see is what you get with him uh you know his numbers tonight for example it was okay right uh 16 points five rebounds in 30 minutes uh you know by his standards it

Was a good shooting night it was a good shooting night period seven of 13 from the field but that’s not an Allstar level player those aren’t the type of numbers that you’re going to get from what is supposed to be the second best player on your roster Andrew Wiggins

Look the good news is a performance like tonight doesn’t diminish his trade value but if this team is serious they’re going to trade Wiggins you have to and I understand there’s reports out there that his value is diminished so and this is where it’s going to suck if you have

To attach a Moses Moody if you have to attach a first round pick the Warriors of plenty of those of future draft picks but they’ve got to move on from Wiggins the Klay Thompson thing you mentioned I totally agree he gets 34 minutes tonight for nine points and for someone who’s

Who’s the second greatest shooter ever to for him to go one of four from Deep these are just like th those two have always in my humble opinion it’s onea and one b in terms of what the problems are with this team it’s Kerr came into the season thinking Wiggins was going to

Be his second best player he came to the season thinking clay was still going to resemble the play of old neither is true and he doesn’t adjust to him it’s like he got punched in the fake Kurt Kurt let me know what you think about this to me

Kerr resembles a boxer who got punched straight in the nose and just doesn’t know how to respond to it he doesn’t know how to react he came in with the game plan it’s the old Mike Tyson adage like everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face Kerr got punched in

The face with his two primary perimeter players being a shell of their former selves and unfortunately he is he’s showing his medal he he’s showing that he doesn’t know what to do now and when we come back kylin please react to that because maybe I went too far I don’t

Know I’ve got a damn hangover this doesn’t happen every day I don’t even know what I’m talking about right now uh let’s uh am I talking crazy kylin before we go to the break I don’t know what uh I I like your comparison about KR not being able to adjust when being when

Being punched in the face like I I do agree with that that I he he’s struggling to figure out an alternative game plan uh compared to what’s worked in the past years I’m gonna disagree though on Andrew Wiggins I I don’t like the criticism of him missing multiple

Months because his dad being ill I I’m just going to want to shut that down from my perspective immediately but let’s shut it down shut it down when we come back I because I’m not I’m not sitting here standing on you know I’m not I’m not sitting here with

Convictions saying I’m right saying that but I also like to apply real world applications to all these circumstances and kylin I don’t know of a single employer like my employers like would you ever get three months off if your mom or dad was sick I guess

That’s what I’m trying to say here you know I just I think that you know I employers should treat people like people and that families should come first and because that’s not the expectation here in the US I don’t think that makes it okay um and if the

Warriors want to build this culture where they say oh we care about our players it’s such a positive environment blah blah and they need to put their money where their mouth is at the end of the day if a player’s struggling give them the opportunity and the time away

To take care of business and take care of what’s most important in life that’s my personal perspective on it I don’t care if other employers do it or not because just don’t think it makes it right you look at you know PTO absences and maternity leave paternity leave in

Other countries the US is the worst by far in all of those categories at not valuing you know employees as people and right all right sorry like I said I’m gonna go into a separate tangent on this so I just I don’t think it’s okay anyway

Like I don’t think the regular you know person should have to deal with that so I don’t have an issue with the Warriors letting him take time off I really don’t but when he comes back he should be ready to play and be at this point we’re so far removed from

That like that was almost a year ago now he’s not performing don’t know what the reason is but you know the Warriors got to figure out an alternative they’ve got to figure out a way forward and they’ve got to make roster changes I don’t trust that Andrew Wiggins is going to be the

Andrew wiggin he was two years ago so let’s move forward and figure out how can we improve this roster good answer yeah I actually I agree with everything you said uh we’ll get into it more in just a moment but first speaking of Medicine and speaking of uh you know having

Issues at home one solution at least one resource that could help you is Jace and look I know we come to sports to escape from some of the crazy realities of real life but can we talk just for a minute about preparing for real life according

To the FDA pharmacies are running out of antibiotics like amoxicillin right in the middle of the worst flu season in over a decade this is scary I can’t imagine a more helpless feeling than if your partner in life h husbands wives uh children parents whatever it is if they

Get sick while a supply chain issue keeps them from the life-saving medication they need thankfully you’ll be okay because of Jace medical the Jace case is a pack of five different antibiotics to treat a long list of bacterial illnesses including UTI respiratory infections sinusitis skill skin infections excuse me among others

This stuff could happen to any of us visit jce medical.com and complete your physician encounter it will be reviewed by a board certified physician excuse me and your medications will be dispensed by a licensed pharmacy at a fraction of the regular cost it’s never been more important to be prepared

Social media platforms at her name kylin Mills and for the every dayers uh we’re back at this uh at the latest Wednesday we’re playing the Utah Jazz kylin have we are you joining me for that show is that the other show you’re doing this week with me have we figured that out we

Plan on that but I actually got a chat about it after I made sounds good okay made you Tuesday or Thursday I made you Tuesday or Thursday but I’ll be back again this week okay yeah well yeah and again you can follow kylin at her name at kyin Mills on all social media

Platforms follow me on threads at dog wild that’s where I post updates on the show um here’s my only rebuttal to the Andrew Wiggins thing is he does make a buttload of money right we’re talking his salary last year was close to $30 million and it just seems wild to me

That for the amount of money you’re making for the position you have in life life that you work in a culture where on one hand you can get three months off of work because of supposedly an illness in your family I’m not disagreeing with that I think that’s really cool to be

Honest but it’s just not most of us in this world don’t get that luxury so it does sting a little bit to see him get that level of privilege whereas most of us in this country cannot get that kind of luxury and you’re also dealing with a

With a l with a culture where teammates are getting punch out like Draymond did to Jordan p and there’s virtually no ramifications from Draymond Green’s perspective you’re seeing a culture where where two youngsters like kaminga and Moody are getting no privilege of any kind like they like they’re not

Getting the minutes that I that I think a lot of people myself included feel they deserve meanwhile Andrew Wiggins is taking months off his performance is a shell of what it used to be but he’s still getting K’s benefit of the doubt I’m just seeing a lot of standards and

I’m seeing like I’m not seeing equal fair treatment for all the players involved I guess I guess I feel like if kinga’s mom or dad got sick I don’t know if he would get three months off and I don’t know if he would come back if he’d

Be welcomed back with from cure with like open arms like we’ll just work with you on your schedule that’s my primary issue with this whole thing am I making sense or am I talking crazy uh I want to move on from it because I just I don’t

Want to speculate on how JK would be treated if something happened to him like I would hope that it would be a policy across the W for for everyone’s family but I just I don’t want to speculate on it I want to figure out what the problem is right now because

Where the Warriors are at regardless of what happened with Andrew Wiggins last year right now it’s a it’s a problem and they’re gonna have to figure it out this team four games below 500 almost halfway through the season it’s not working so there needs to be changes what would you

Change on the roster if you could pick and pull anyone right now s uh before I answer that uh what you want to hear from Draymond Green he he took the podium yeah AB I’ll happily answer that right after uh so why don’t we hear from Draymond Green it was his first game

Back from missing over a month because of suspension and here is what he has to say about the team’s performance tonight including their defensive intensity defensive game uh falls off and having Pride um just got to have pride in yourself as a man and I’m not going to let my guy score

And our close outs was too soft our rotations were too slow um so it’s just no Pride like and until every guy take pride in themselves and want to stop the guy in front of them what’s up all right so there we go uh so he’s saying there’s there’s a lack of Pride

Defensively um look ultimately kylin I think wiggin has to be traded I I to me I don’t even think it’s it’s I don’t know if it’s even a debate anymore now what you can get for him is a whole other discussion um you know some people in the chat still say trade kaminga

Which I think is asinine uh Jonathan kaminga tonight just put in perspective was second on the team in scoring 20 points I had someone in the chat saying he doesn’t rebound he grabbed 11 boards tonight and despite all that once again he’s he’s held to under 30 minutes um

This team is undefeated still when Jonathan Kingo plays 30 plus minutes uh per game uh he played 29 he was 50% shooting from the field nine of 18 the only part of his game which struggled was his three-point shot he was only one for five did have three turnovers that

Doesn’t help either Dario charage had I think you mentioned this had four turnovers Steph with five Draymond Green also had three turnovers um but to trade kaminga I just for anyone who’s still discussing that for who you know I don’t think there’s anyone out there you could

Trade him for that would magically turn this aging roster into a championship Contender even a Lorie marinin I you know Lori marinin is a solid player he’s a seven-footer but the reason why I’m a little apprehensive on giving up the farm for Lori marinan is because Lori

Marinin is still not going to shut down uh is not going to defend a Nicol yic he’s not going to shut down or defend a Yannis an TMO he gives you size but he doesn’t solve the defensive issues and I don’t think he would be worth giving up

Jonathan kaminga for um so I just don’t see any players out there where it’s worth Trading kaminga um but I do think Wiggins you have to trade what do you think I agree regardless of what his value is like you pointed out the Warriors may have to throw someone else

In with Andrew Wiggins because of his performance this season it’s unfortunate but I think it’s what needs to happen uh he’s just you know not a positive roster spot right now and you know I again I just thought it was baffling that he started tonight but one thing to keep in

Mind I’ve seen a lot of people say trade everyone trade everyone but Steph I’ve seen some people say trade everyone but the youngsters as in Brandon pky Trace Jackson Davis Moody and kaminga um The Warriors in a very precarious position because you have the potential to piss

Off a large portion of your fan base and to double cross some of the players that brought you all of these championships if you dump Klay Thompson and Draymond Green and you also you know put yourself in the position to cross Steph gur because I don’t think Steph is going to

Want either of those guys to go so for people saying trade everyone this is going to be aough spot um and then when you look at the youngsters you don’t want to trade away too much of the future because I think you keep Jonathan kaminga I still think he has a ton of

Potential he’s only in his third year in the league he still has a ton of room for growth he’s super young he came in after just one year with the g-league ignite I still think he has ton of potential and needs to be developed I don’t think he’s gotten the proper

Development with golden state so far there needs to be a sense of accountability from the Warriors organization from Steve Kerr not setting these young players up for success I know the Warriors have been working on developing a relationship with Santa Cruz and a lot of those players say

They’ve had positive experiences there I think that’s good but then at some point you’ve got to integrate them into the NBA into the full team into the game plan and I don’t think that has fully happened yet the going back and forth from being in the rotation out of the

Rotation getting minutes knock ining minutes dnps is too much for a young player to truly grow so my fear is keeping those four young players and them not really being set up for success that’s one thing that I think needs to change I would like to see the young

Guys stay because I think all four of those guys do have a ton of potential and at some point the Warriors have to start investing in the lottery picks and developing them but I think they need to be given consistent minutes and become a focal part of the game plan for that to

Happen at this point the Warriors are four games below 500 what is there to lose I agree I’m hardly with you for the uh like in the chat for example someone writes um uh Jay Boogie writes that Pascal seum is better than kaminga let’s say for the sake of argument you’re

Right Pascal cakam is on the verge of turning 30 so you’re you’re giving up nearly nine years kaminga three years from now is gonna be better than Pascal seak three years from now and if you make that trade you’re trading the future and a huge part of the present

For a player who’s still not going to be the difference in terms of winning a championship like so I I don’t support that trade at all um and then uh Fang us SFU writes don’t trade kaminga but he is the only valuable asset other than clay

And CP3 salary Moses Moody is is also an asset other people do like other teams out there do like Moody um I like Moody as well I’m not endorsing trading him but if you’re talking about kaminga being the only asset no you also have Moses Moody and you also have firstr

Draft picks in every draft except for this year um you also have a ton of second round picks those are valuable so um yeah that’s what I think about that um and then the the ultimate thing too is uh I me I is this team gonna I guess

They’re just gonna kylin how do you see this playing out I I know we only have 30 seconds maybe it’s too late to ask but I was gonna say like is this gonna be the rest of the year it’s kind of this is crazy I I hope not I sure hope

Not and I do want to mention something needs to change with Steve Kerr as well a couple people brought that up in the TR in the chat um he’s got to come up with some new ideas it’s not working I don’t like his Blind Faith in the vetss

At some point you need to make changes at some point you need to invest more in developing the young guys and I think that he needs a strategy change or The Warriors need a change in scenery at some point uh when it comes to the coach

Yeah one or the other needs to happen that was just a bad game there was no way to spin it happy Mar Luther King Jr day we’ll be back at it soon byebye nothing

Kylen Mills and Cyrus Saatsaz hosted a live Martin Luther King Jr. Day postgame show following the Golden State Warriors losing what might’ve been the most demoralizing loss of their difficult season, this time losing to a severely underhanded Memphis Grizzlies team in a road game that saw Draymond Green’s first game back since his suspension marred by NBA officials giving the Grizzlies 30 more free throw attempts while the same story continues to ring true: Stephen Curry and Jonathan Kuminga are the only consistent Warriors players, the team looks small and old out there while Steve Kerr continues to show questionable judgment with his rotations and minute distribution.
