FIRST THINGS FIRST | Nick says Steph Curry’s twisted ankle is a cruel twist of fate for the Warriors

Warriors Bulls Steph Curry hurts his ankle and a loss not great uh golden state currently firmly in the playin clay confident the Warriors will be okay take a listen he is out unfortunate but it’s part of the you know the the length of the season it’s hard to play every game

Especially not have any minor injuries and um we’ll we’ll uh make up we’ll do we’ll do well well without him we we can rely on our history and how to execute without him okay uh can Steph afford to miss any time that’s the question you’re going to

Ask okay no snarky reparte no no little winking nod at the camera like yesterday when we can show it to you LeBron left the game in the exact same time under the exact same circumstances I think by the second I don’t know if we can show

You uh oh I’m sorry 5 Seconds different straight to the locker room LeBron almost ran well yeah I’m sorry that LeBron can deal with the injury Maybe a little better cuz he doesn’t have bad ankle I don’t know I don’t know you just you did a whole Inquisition when LeBron

Left a game early with an ankle injury with Steph you seem awful concerned with LeBron you seemed awful brw once again I know you hate to agree with me am I right or am I wrong I hate to yeah Nick is right thank you very much BRS I’m

Objective thank you bro I appreciate the objectivity he is objective do you think LeBron’s going to miss a game he’s very tough okay do you think Steph’s going to miss a game probably but he’s got bad ankles so I mean I don’t know what you

Want from me there um now listen I I mean golden state is totally cooked without him but because the Jazz and and Wild’s Rockets are so far like Li his opportunity this would have been Step Up I’mma put him on the but that would be so I mean what what this does mean

Though is if he misses any real time they are locked into best case scenario being in that 910 right area and you guys know how I feel about that like you’re just cooked and so I think this really bad for them because their only

Hope was to get up to the 78 and then win one of those games to make the real playoffs at the 910 spot they’re in a really rough spot and I think look I don’t think it was going to happen but they’re they’re three and a half games

Out of six now I know they’d have to climb a lot of teams but with Steph they’ve been playing well they had won 14 out of their last 18 heading into the last night so for they were playing obviously and so and that you know we’ll

See how that works out if Chris Paul can kind of hold things off but look last year they were 14 and 12 without Steph so they like you said they’re five and a half games up on 11 seed so they’re going to at least be in the play in the

Thing is they’re not going to be able to I’m thinking Nick not just seven or eight but they probably had their eyes on six and now that’s not going to happen if he’s out for okay you got a game against the Spurs tomorrow then you go to San Antonio on Monday Mavericks

Lakers knicks Grizzlies so that’s six games you can win both sport a lot of those are winnable I I mean even I mean winnable Brew without Steph this is when you need Chris Paul I guess that’s fair if you think Chris Paul’s going to be able to step up significantly like I I

Just think if we were to look at the Warriors without like this team existed without Steph for a season we would say they’re one of the B you know they’re not it didn’t work right they’re one of the five worst teams in the league here’s what I will say it look obvious

You’d like to get out of the playing if you could but this is an opportunity for kaminga who’s already been playing really well but take a Next Step uh the rookie psky Brandon maybe he steps up and clay maybe to kind of get a rhythm actually played well yesterday off the

Bench and and and even Chris Paul like well that’s the thing is like is Chris Paul if we’re going to go totally glass you know quarter full um is Chris Paul G to have one final good stretch you know what I mean like we are and Wiggins too

Like he’s been bad all year I’m just saying it’s if he’s ever going to come out of a funk this is maybe how you do it that would yeah that’s the oddly the Warriors have a negative net rating with Steph on the court this year so in the

Games that he’s played they’ve actually played fine when he’s been on the bench um but I don’t think that that’s probably a lot of Chris Paul right and so I just think this locks them in it just seems like it’s crazy it’s been 8 years since the 73 wi Warriors seems

Like a long time ago wonder what LeBron’s doing these days oh wait still down weird Boston and Denver pton Watson I mean this was a sick d block too but no one’s talking about it cuz he jumps over his own teammate for the block that’s a fact thankfully neither one of

Those guys got hurt yeah I agree with that I don’t have to say that all the time but I also agree with that I mean the way they as high up as they were trust me when you’re that high up it’s tough to l i I know believe me weird they’re seconds

Left Spurs tied at 129 in Sacramento that’s not a good play sabonis with the steal Spurs lose pop was upset well he should have been he pretended not to understand a reporter’s question wonderful 2 minutes left Aaron Gordon put back I mean a few years ago

That’s nasty he won the dunk contest not with this one but he took this one he’s one of the best dunkers in the dunk history of the dunk contest he’s right there near the top You Vince him Lavine Michael Jordan was pretty good Kenny Smith Dominique was good Kenny Smith had

Good dunks but no he didn’t yes he did behind the the legs off the backboard dunk K I know they make fun of him but he had a great dunk Terence stanbury also very underrated oh that’s true Kenn Sky didn’t dribble that was his problem he just ran up there and dunk

You want dribbling in the dunk Skywalk I mean dribble up your dunk Baker fake show hitting bombs had a really foul balls to me no he check wild tweet yeah he hit a bunch of B you should have follow me on Twitter I talked about how many how many great

Quarterbacks are also great baseball players did he play distant high school but Patrick Mahomes John Elway Russell Wilson Russell Wilson Tom batting that’s true that’s a great Lefty that’s a great Point am I tripping no batting Lefty that’s a good good take while welcome back to an exciting show

Commercial airline pilots let’s ride Russell Wilson’s free agency tour has begun on route to meet with the Steelers Russ had a pit stop in Newark visited the Giants for an exploratory meeting Nick do you like the idea of Russ in a Giants uniform no the Giants should not

Do this why you don’t want the Giants to do anything no I would like them to draft a quarterback they’re at six you don’t even want the TR Patriots State quarterback patj McCarthy that’s no God no but I think Jaden Daniels might be there at six and not you TR up and get

Him yeah I think JJ McCarthy might end up going before Jaden Jaden but yeah people love JJ I again they have they have uh they’re privy to footage that I am not when it comes to his college career but I’m also not a scout but it

Doesn’t matter I Russell Wilson is not a significant upgrade on Daniel Jones that’s true he’s oh really yes oh yeah he’s just and and you’re and here’s the thing they can’t cut Daniel they’re not going to cut Daniel Jones this year you’re paying Daniel Jones this year

Anyway so if I am going going to take the plunge on moving off Daniel Jones it’s not for Russell Wilson and Shawn pyton I understand Brian dable sorry coach M if you’re watching seems to have a even by NFL standards a historic ego but Shawn pton couldn’t fix it you’re

Not going to be able to the Broncos wide receiver room is middling the Giants wide receiver room is one of the worst in the NFL so the idea that all of a sudden Russell Wilson is going to come there and be good he’s not good so no I

Wouldn’t do it I I actually love it now if they going to if they could get Jaden Daniels in the draft or if they want to draft a quarterback fine but outside of that I’m not saying you even and I don’t think it’s great for Russ because as you

Said they don’t have their skill position players aren’t great outside of saquin who may be gone so I don’t think that’s a great fit for him also if I’m the Giants I’m thinking of bringing Russell Wilson in as a backup initially like I’m I’m starting Daniel Jones and

Giving him the chance well then that’s fun but hold well my point is I start him now he might play poorly and I would have an early a quick leash with him
