How Different Could The Warriors Look Tonight

How Different Could The Warriors Look Tonight

And they wion a game on the road and I know the Sixers didn’t have him me and I know they’re banged up but whatever Stephen Curry scores nine points and you win a game by 23 you take it you take it all day the Ascension of John kaminga

Continues Andrew Wiggins with a second double double how about lond doall coming off the bits with nine and N Klay Thompson 6 of 12 16 points hey good night for the Warriors they could stay winning road trip yeah you got to take baby steps baby take those baby steps

Let’s go let’s go and now you can get greedy today get greedy in Indianapolis and of course the San Francisco Sheriff South countdown to kickoff clock says that we’re three days 9 hours 22 minutes and 47 46 45 44 43 seconds away from kickoff on Sunday between the Chiefs and

The Niners and we want to shout out Pete’s coffee again for going to Vegas they’re sending us a Vegas shout out Vanessa and a whole crew of Pet’s coffee thanks for the banana bread yesterday we love you we love you we love you we love everybody out there shasi what is up my

Man nothing uh great warrior win I mean I will take any game where you know Steph Curry doesn’t have to play in the fourth quarter absolutely and it did look good it looked like kaminga and Wiggins playing simultaneously there’s something there now I guess the question

Is is Wiggins more valuable as a trade piece or is he more valuable on the Warriors well if he plays like he did yesterday that’s almost like a chiringo player because the player that’s played up until this point he aage 12 points a game yeah thank you Spaceman you know

Like finally coming back and putting two feet on Earth I mean wow if you get that adrew Wiggins then maybe you are acquired a player within your own team you already acquired your own player in Jonathan kiga because month and a half ago you weren’t playing him no and all a

Sudden over his last 11 games he’s averaging nearly 24 points a game go figure right does does he have an opportunity or is it too late does he have an opportunity if he finishes strong I mean I don’t know if he can keep this up does he have an opportunity

To be in the most improved player conversation it’s possible cuz I think he he has shown tremendous tremendous Ascension I mean who would even be in that category in the NBA this season you know what I’m saying no it’s a great question you know like we’d have to look all around like

Maybe Kawai later did that because he didn’t play much last year right yeah but he’s always been a great he’s always been a great player was literally not playing in the Kings and Lakers series I know and and some people said he was unplayable some people said he had low

IQ so people try to smear his name that’s why whenever he balls out he ducks at the rib it makes you very happy it makes me very happy because I don’t know why we do this in the media why we do this as a fan base it’s not us

Bully’s always love Kamika D wri’s always love kiga you and I have always loved kiga always we didn’t get why you know I I do wonder I would love for Willard the dibs one day to ask Steve Kerr do you regret playing Anthony lamb over Jonathan kiga like think about that

Were playing Anthony lamb over Jonathan kamga and people in the media people on this on these Airwaves huh guy who to do our postgame shows said John the kiga doesn’t have an IQ he’s not a smart basketball player he’s unplayable well does he look unplayable now well I I

Think there’s a lot of people who talk about sports that have never developed young players at any point in their life and I think talking about sports playing sports being involved in sports coaching Sports it just gives you a more well-rounded fundamental understanding of what a coaching staff is going

Through and I think the NBA more so than the NFL more so than even Major League Baseball is a developmental League at this point it is I mean be you’re getting players that are coming at 19 years old into the NBA who need live reps kaminga came in at what 17 18 years

Old 18 was in the g- league unite or whatever many how many parents are driving seniors to school right now right now know who you are dragging out of bed right now imagine your senior is going into the NBA speaking in a second language family in another country and playing

Basketball with the greatest player of all time in Steph Curry for an organization unbelievable unbelievable and now you look at him Steve cerry about a month ago said you know we tried to wig it’s going a thing it’s not to work well yesterday he said well it’s

Working now and you’ve got to play them together and think about that starting lineup mlly mlly eesi was breaking it down so well yesterday on a pre and post game show on NBC Sports Bay Area and I I close ey with him the spacing you get with the Splash

Brothers even if you want to say Clay is wash teams still fear Klay Thompson’s three-point shot making ability so you got the Splash Brothers who are going to create gravity just by being on the floor you’re petrified at them getting hot from the three-point line then you

Got kaminga and Wiggins slashing and the space that the Splash Brothers create for Wiggins and kaminga to go downhill and now all of a sudden teams are saying well if we play kaminga oneon-one he’s going to cook us and he’s an automatic bucket if we double him that means

Draymond’s going to swing swing and one of these three-point shooter was going to be wide open so now it’s creating havoc and now the starting five is starting to work a little bit although the second quarter is when things got rectified yesterday in Philadelphia first quarter was atrocious they shot

22% from the floor 15% from the three-point line but all of a sudden jonath the kaminga is getting opportunities and they’ve inserted the youngsters with the veterans it’s been two teams for far too long the youngsters and the Vets the core guys and the youngsters now we’re meshing in

The youngsters like paj jimsky at times tjd and certainly kaminga with the veterans and all a sudden the youth is helping the veterans to where oh wow Steph Curry scores nine points okay cool we win the other night in Brooklyn Klay Thompson takes nine shots wow we went

Going away the vet the youngsters are now figuring out and you’re totally right we’ve been saying this a lot about the NBA for many many years youngsters need to play youngsters need to play play through the mistakes in the regular season so by the time the playoffs come

Around their season they’re Harden and they’re like oh wow because we’ve seen this with kaminga he got better and better about a game last year the more he played the better he got we we throw around this word washed and it we use it way too it’s the same thing like I hear

Kids so and so’s the goat I was I was at dinner last night with Lil James guaso he goes this guy for Kentucky he’s the goat I go the goat for Kentucky he’s in college what are you talking about goat we’ve jumped to shark with that so we

Throw around this word washed like and Andre gal had an incredible career incredible career you know what washed is when you suit up for eight games of an 82 game schedule yep that’s washed yep yep washed is not I’m available every single night now diminished you

Know not what you once were that’s a different word washed means you physically cannot play anymore you can’t get up and down Navaro bman the final year of his career he couldn’t move nope I mean God bless his soul he couldn’t move he was washed Drew Breeze at the

Very very end couldn’t throw the ball more than eight yards Patrick uh Patrick Peyton Manning physically couldn’t get out of bed yep because he was so hurt neck down to the feet that was washed Klay Thompson’s not washed he’s just a different version yep he’s a different

Version and I think he’s realizing it which is why we saw him and listen we always talk about athletes not being vulnerable and being so tough Clay Thompson peeled back the curtain showed you the humanity showed you and he’s been showing a s every sister rehab when

Charles Barkley took a shot at him said oh clay Thom not the same and he’s like of course I’m not the same had to rehab for two freaking Seasons two and a half freaking Seasons you know how tough that is I didn’t even know if I was going to

Be able to play hell the first year he came back Klay Thompson how many times did we say boy when he jumped and he landed on his feet and got so petrified we was just hoping the guy can make it up and down the court so now okay he’s

In a slump he’s in a bit of a slump it Fitz was he was fired up yesterday on a crossover talking about Klay Thompson listen the guy the gravity he creates mly and Fe he broke it down yesterday on the pregame show guys are still fearing Klay Thompson and yesterday nice low

Bounce back night six to 12 what did he score what did he score 16 points what do you have oh 18 point yesterday 18 points four five from the three-point line he’s a streaky player he’s always going to be a streaky player who’s going to need to depend on others to create

Offense for him but by him being on the floor and being aggressive and making plays for his teammates and he’s actually rebounding very well all of a sudden all of a sudden he’s creating offense for others so while he’s needs other play players to create offense for

Him he’s creating for others might just be it on the floor do you believe in unintended consequences I sometimes you know like something happens and it opens up an opportunity for example I got into this industry because somebody else got laid off yep and didn’t show up to do their

Job and I came in and and I was the right guy at the right place the right time and it gave me an opportunity to get my foot in the door as a part-time employee I feel like the unintended consequences of Draymond Green getting suspended of Andrew Wiggins being hurt

And inconsistent of Klay Thompson taking a step back has been the emergence of Jonathan kaminga yep and I know everyone’s looking for negativity and and and I get it like this team wants to win championships but reality is kind of set in the die is being cast and you can

See this isn’t a championship team what’s the Silver Lining well the unintended consequence of all those things happening is Jonathan kaminga looks amazing does and you’re looking at a guy at 21 years old now I don’t know if you can hand the mantle to him not

Yet but can he run with Steph Curry and someone else down the line looks like he is right now 1865 last night in 29 minutes they got the ice and chill of the fourth quarter the night before Jonathan kaminga dropping in 28 followed up Steph Curry’s 29 listen man JK is on

The heater right now on the absolute tear so yes Draymond getting suspended was a blessing in disguise I thought you were going to go this way what oh I’m sorry I thought you were going to go with Draymond being suspended Wiggins you know not playing up to his

Capabilities and all a sudden Klay Thompson’s getting heat I’m not trying to take a shot here at s but I was listening to S towards the tail end of the show and he’s just going in on Clay just going in like he’s been the biggest issue this year Well klay’s only missed

Two games all right has a shot selection been great at times absolutely not I mean it was hideous in the athletic game it really was that probably was by far his worst game of the season but let’s not act like Klay Thompson has been the biggest issue on his

Team this team has not had consistent lineups they’ve had 17 different starting lineups all right they’ve had guys suspended they’ve got guys hurt like Chris Paul gp2 the rotations has been just nasty Steve cerr has no idea what have play the feel of the game at

Times is evaded him we saw it in the Sacramento game earlier this season when he pulls out Moses Moody that affects players like clay now Steph is a unicorn he’s one of one he’s going to play well regardless now it’s going to look a little different whether draymond’s on

The floor or whether ludy’s on the floor whether shards is on the floor but a guy like clay you need consistency around yourself all of a sudden you’re playing with non Shooters all of a sudden to play with guys who don’t know how to play but Klay Thompson ain’t the biggest

Issue on this basketball team it hasn’t been all season that’s what gets me going for lack of a better analogy it does feel like this fan base and I know there’s others that do this has to Stone someone in the middle of the town every year someone’s got to be the bad guy

Every year and we have to publicly shame that individual over the why are we shaming a four time jef who’s a leged who was bored here who gave his ACL and his Achilles that’s the wrong guy like I I as a fan I’m thinking okay maybe a

Free agent comes over like Antonio leum and you’re like oh man this guy’s a bu he took our money Nate clementz he wasn’t one of us right he took our money and he played like trash you play like TR Jonah jinnings right tackle for the 49ers coming up from Buffalo steing our

Money those are the guys we go in on not our HR products or someone who maybe didn’t take care of their body and was Reckless this is a man who lost his body and diminished because of effort literally trying to help you win a championship and Danny Green undercuts

Him like you know so he’s not Kyrie you know where Kyrie is very unreliable for an organization this guy’s trying his best I I just it it it is again I’ve critiqued Klay Thompson at the beginning of last year right and I feel somewhat ashamed because I’m seeing other people

They can’t just have a reasonable discourse regarding clay it has to be over the top over the top and it has to be so mean and inhumane on how we talk about people and people were doing that about kaminga last year they’re doing it about Jordan PA last season it’s just

It’s just Why Can’t We Be POS I was talking to Willie about this last night like negativity sales I could say 888 957 9570 boy Steph Curry just dropped 46 last night 93s how great is he oh my gosh let’s talk about it you may me get

Three calls we did this the other day about mcaffry how great he was maybe got two calls she was just say oh boy 8895 79570 it’s Clay off was lies light up why does negativity sell Jon can’t check thep reporter ear this year he goes write some positive

Stuff about us trust me people will read it we’re a negative Society you know I mean look at our own City there are people whose entire social media accounts are to destroy the city of San Francisco right and they don’t even live in the city don’t even live in a city so

I mean this is this is not just Sports I just think negativity in general is a hot thing and it gets very it gets a lot of viral clicks and actions I mean there’s an industry in it B There is yep yep I also think that the NBA in particular there

Is a Envy with the money being thrown around from the consumer and from the media the disdain for athletes making top dollar is it’s there like I I’m just being real it’s there I think there are a lot of people who think will you make 50 million

You can’t have emotions you can’t be depressed you can’t feel professionally unfilled we saw this with Pablo sandal he went to Boston I was like damn I feel bad for Pablo I don’t he’s greedy he took the money and it’s like whoa oh oh oh when he came back he signed that deal

And we had beat writers out here members of the media I can’t believe the Giants brought him back for saying what he said he didn’t say anything salacious I mean come on like stop like the discourse with Pablo was disgusting well think about you and

Me we didn’t make any money okay and I want to preface that you and I got our dream job one of the morning shows waking up the city that we love and the show was struggling early on y I was at the height of what I thought the

Profession was for me individually I was as miserable as I’ve ever been yep because I knew the show just was a tick off it wasn’t clicking you know and so we weren’t making anything it didn’t matter even though others were like wow you you got the morning job this is it’s

Got to be great you got to be so happy it’s like no actually I’m furious because we’re not doing well and and I want us to do better now imagine your entire life is basketball from the time you’re 5 years old till you’re 35 now yep Y and everywhere you go you can’t

Escape the criticism nope I mean just put yourself in those people’s shoes so you know the Warriors look they’re not back yet they’re still out of the box they still have work to do the NBA trade dayline is a little later today at 12:00 p.m. we’ll see what

The Warriors do a lot of a lot of talk around the Warriors is that they’re not going to do anything um there was some things about Andrew Wiggins I have a hard time seeing them make a move if they do make a move maybe they try to

Move off some money but I don’t you know I don’t know what they’re going to do I I I I’m he that they’re not going to do much and I wonder how the fan base is going to feel about that so maybe we could get into tomorrow but look

The Warriors won on the eve of the Trade Deadline. Was it enough to stave off any trades?
