Where do the Warriors Loyalties Lie?

Where do the Warriors Loyalties Lie?

Loyalty at so we’re going to find out where the loyalty is with the go to say Warriors who’s coming who’s going cuz something’s got to shake Steve Kerr Steve Kerr asked how tough it is to hear booze at home in back toback L yeah we deserved it for sure you know fell fell

Behind immediately and uh I think we’re just lacking confidence right now you know it’s it’s um you get to a stage sometimes where you just kind of lose your belief and um it happens and that’s what’s happened right now with our team the last few days I think we’ve um you

Know we’ve just lost the spirit the confidence that has to carry you you know against um talented teams night in and night out we’re lacking confidence we lost our spirit we lost our spirit so as you look at bellich you know retire and Pete Carol retire the one thing I think that they

Did a great job of was empowering young players to feel a part of the team and if I look at what has really there are many reasons but one of the big separators for the Warriors and you can say B you could say Joe it it all starts

And ends with the punch and I’d listen to you I would I’d listen to you but I do feel like there’s a we’re made men and you’ll never be and so whenever there’s a problem it’s cuz you’re not bringing and I’m being dramatic here

When I say this but it has felt like hey we got the three maid men and a couple of vets that we trust and everybody else you don’t get the benefit of the doubt at any single turn right and the beauty of when I watched bellich the

Beauty of Pete Carol and stuff they would Infuse the young players like think about Brady how many young guy he would trust certain people right away and boom that was one of his main embraced them yes embraced them and it feels like a lack of embracing when it

Comes to the youngsters all started last year the whole two timeline thing which was you know just these these got like Houston you look at the Houston Rockets and I’m not saying they’re a finals team no no but what they’ve done is they brought in the right veterans to empower

The youngsters okay like they may end up trading Jaylen green but they got Jabari Smith Jor you know theyve got they got some other young assets and I’m like you know what let’s bring some veterans here and let’s bring the youngsters together let’s play as a team let’s mesh together

Like not the other way around like it felt like it’s been two different teams for two straight years like empower the youngsters play with the veterans Empower kaminga Empower Moody like it’s so ironic Moody Goes back toback game scoring 21 points Ty the season high and

Now he may be out for two to three weeks or the Cav strain that’s the worst part about it now you lose another guy so now gp2 is out Chris Paul’s out and Moses Moody who’s got the shorted of the stick is now got a cing well

I don’t you think that there was I don’t know if it’s threatened but like I always felt like they were just so harsh on all the young players and what they saw maybe the young players as chipping away at their playing time or their money or whatever I saw the young

Players as a fountain of youth yeah and I and I look at like the 49ers for example and football’s so different so I you know players come into the league as much more finished products but like you don’t think Fred Warner looks at omry Thomas is like yeah we need a a young

Corner to ascend you you don’t think they look at Jer Brown they’re like yeah we want a young a young rookie safety to play well or a hunga or one of those guys about how the 2019 team Embrace dbal Samuel as a rookie wide receiver there you go people forget that Debo was

A rookie wrapped his arm around him quick even even when Brandon auk was in a doghouse they somehow some way uplifted him so by the end of that season auk was ready to roll this team and the whole two timeline thing it feels different It Feels So disconnected and the word

Connectivity we kept hearing it hearing it you don’t hear that word any more I haven’t heard that word in the last three weeks connectivity cuz this team is not connected let’s connect to the calls let’s connect to the calls let’s start off with the rookie roster of the

Year of 2023 Nick and San Jose the floor is yours Nick hey Bonte I got two questions I hope you can answer when I’m off with my call and and butcher Daddy and Bonte give me a moment to bring the heat so I don’t have an aneurysm um the two

Questions Bonte I want you to think about is we talk about the culture not empowering youth no one answered what happened to bah a couple years ago and I would love for you to give me Insight on that after West said you guys have no

Idea it started there for me and then I only see the back of the head of Lake up during games when I’m watching on TV what is his body language like going on right now those are my two questions and then just briefly um I’m trying to be an

Optimist here I believe we’ll get gb2 back soon green will be back on this road trip I want to let that permeate for five to seven games before I completely say we’re a 28 win team but with that said we have to do what pinka

Did last year and we have to change the roster as best as we can and if that means we get rid of Paul and Wiggins and give up draft picks then we do that and you know what I adore clay but I’m sick of his crap I’m sick of his body

Language he says he talked to Kerr and then two games later he’s pouting again all you need to do is take open shots clay that’s all you need to do the he has a failure to do that but the problem is he’s having a harder time getting those open looks because of floor

Spacing and his own lack of Mobility like it is what it is he’s getting older like these young guys can v-cut and get wide open quickly cuz they’re explosive when you’re an older player you need more help on the floor to get open and that’s why and that’s why and that’s why

Uh dun Ley needs to get a third Big Time score to open up Claymore in the trade deadline and and and we have we have to get rid of we have to get rid of wigg so Bonte please is there any insight with being The Insider on the Macau thing no

And and the last thing here is okay and the last thing here is I think Kerr is gone like Meyer with last year we kept waiting for an extension but Kerr’s been right on there’s a reason he doesn’t trust kaminga how can kaminga I don’t want to say self-entitled he’s so

Athletic but how could he say he’s the man and do this the last three games he is so athletic and the lack of closing out the lack of locking in Cur is a truth teller he tells us what but we don’t want to hear it sometimes right I

Love you guys uh we’re in trouble man we’re uh so I’m going ask her the second question first about lob the body language is not good just go back if folks if you hav’t on your DVR if you could pull up the Warriors game let’s just look at him in the fourth quarter

He got sideways in terms of sitting sideways with his shoulders slubbed sideways to the floor just kind of watching turn like a body language will tell you everything that you need to know about about where Joe lob’s head’s at he’s not pleased he did not see this

Coming he’s not a happy guy when you D out the money that he St out for this organization to try to keep them afloat and try to keep the big three together and try to keep the youth here and try to keep Andrew Wiggins and build off of

A wi’s great finals performance in the 2022 season Joe Laker’s body language is atrocious br br belt would be proud of his body language seriously his body language is not good now a mcau it’s the strangest thing ever cuz he was just in a g-league showcase shasi Patrick mcaw

Not really playing he started in a Finals game no no he came off the bench G five he he was in game five was really good in a closeout game in a closeout game and when David West said David West Rivery came out and said

Boy you have no idea what went on in this locker room and then the story about men and just come on it always felt like as an investigative reporter if I had my investigative reporter hat on something deeper happened just I don’t know what I don’t

Even want to speculate I don’t want to assume but something happened that year because when Mall had the situation with the uh up in Sacramento with Vince Carter undercut and he went to the hospital scary Vince that i’ Vince screwed him over that was a dirty play

By Vince very dirty play and I know he apologized after but that was dangerous he could have killed himself I me serious way he landed on his head dirty wow I forgot about mall was never the same after that totally forgot then he never felt connected to the team yeah so

I don’t there’s something deeper with M I can’t answer that question Nick and San Jose because I don’t really know cuz that has not been leaked I’ve not heard anything about it but it just disappeared because Macau I remember watching him at Summer League That

Season was leg he was killing it I know and it as a rookie I was like wow he’s taking LeBron James in for a layup he was playing fourth quarter minutes in a closeout Finals game as a rookie and he was what you’re looking for three and D

Yep so that had happen a little wiggle J Mike and Oakland mikee and Oakland you’re going to be on deck first hang tight Mike and Oakland we’re going to get you on the other side B buddy toon Jay everybody everybody’s going to get on here we’re going to try to figure out

Well we know what’s going on with the goto St Warriors it’s not a good basketball team folks look at look at the quarter scores New Orleans scored 46 27 32 36 Valena scored 15 points in the third quarter alone it’s like he was playing with little boys out

There this is who they are and we have to accept the reality the Golden State Warriors are just not a good basketball team folks

Bonta and Shasky discuss the future of Warriors and what to do moving forward.
