NBA Gametime | Without Curry, Dubs still win – Shaq reacts to Warriors 112-102 win over Spurs

Got sure it’s going to happen part of the job it’s part of the job but the fact that you know you’ve been around the Kim you know that real shot blockers aren’t afraid to get dunked on because that’s their job to go challenge everything at The Rim so tonight Trace

Jackson Davis goes home with his family have a little fun but wh’s going to get him another day it’s going to be another day wh going to get him all the great shot blockers will be on the wrong end of the post sooner rather than later Mark Eaton Bradley

Dumbo old school NY May rest in peace all going to get it so the Warriors win for the first time this season without Steph Curry now one and four uh obviously you know the Spurs are not a great team they’re in development right now working through wimy what what did

You see tonight from Golden State well I love how they move the basketball and able to go play small and win this game but I have to give a lot of credit to Chris Paul he looks spry he knocked down his mid-range shots he got guys involved

199 and8 it was a display of a true point guard how you play the position the mid-range is still alive 3D it’s okay you don’t all have to shoot threes he knows how to get downhill he understands angles and yes he’s worked on his three-point shot over the years

But you can see right here probing probing and even at his size small enough to be able to create some space to get this mid-range jump shot off still one of those guys Matt that just understands Tempo understands how to stay in his Groove and like we talked

About in the pregame show when you have Steph Curry on the floor there’s a lot of chaos and a lot of or I say organized chaos with all the movement less moveing tonight get to your spots and he’ll find you be ready to finish the basketball also encouraging from Golden State’s

Point of view the production of Jonathan kaminga who’s been great really since January and Andrew wiggin who was six of eight tonight knocked down two of his threes uh two of his three threes I should say he had 16 between the two of them 3d 38 points on on relatively

Efficient shooting well that was the question you asked me at halftime if those two guys can be active in in bring what they bring to the table you feel good about yourself cuz now you said it in our break Chris Paul looks a lot spry

He had that injury he’s been out for a few weeks so now he’s feeling refreshed you get Steph back hopefully in a couple days he refreshed but those two guys if they’re playing like they played tonight you feel good about yourself you’re a Warriors fan I also like Klay Thompson

Where he’s been playing Off the Bench and obviously he started tonight man but when you look at Klay get going Wiggins going kaminga going Chris Paul Draymond backck and you add Stephen Curry key to me is how many minutes can trace Jackson as a rookie play for the Golden State

Warriors because he’s a different Dynamic than cavon Looney he’s a guy you can throw a lob to he’s also a guy we can see can take it off the bounce and obviously uh get to the rim and he just knows how to play for a rookie he understands the game of basketball he

Needs a lot of minutes for the Warriors to be successful double double in 26 minutes tonight 13 points and 11 boards Klay Thompson by the way nine of his last 20 from three-point range in this two- game set against the Spurs uh San Antonio had some ugly droughts offensively particularly in the third

Quarter on the wrong end of that 24-2 run where they just could not score but as always there were wmy moments where you go this is the future of the NBA it is I call him the big straw the big straw was stiring up and watching I mean getting downhill footwork little little

Spinning with the left hand off the glass extremely nice nexts sets a pick and roll again then he buries the smaller guy down there on the Block but watch him right here being able to go up and take contact and kind of play through contact last play we get a

Chance to see right here catches the basketball they run this 5-1 pick and roll they go under but look at the handles he’s comfortable and for me that’s a finger roll that he drops in and you know we add a couple more plays because now this is where Victor wi

Watch him get out and run 3D get a little faster than that Let’s Go Out Boy and look at here might not have dunked it but he’s a guy that can get up and down and if we start to run a little bit faster get a little bit more stronger

Because some of those plays he won’t be falling down on those lcks well and he’ll be you know he’ll be posting up closer to the rim as well you know even at his size that extra foot or two can make a difference and a couple of those

Post 5et away from the rim as opposed to two feet then that’s a turn and dunk if he get stronger all right the Warriors get the win tonight 112 to 10 to they will play yet a third time in this month of March on the 31st also in San Antonio

Uh Phoenix on the road starting I ain’t leaving J thank you Durant five of 10 from the great beyond he had 37 and the Suns launched their road trip with the win fifth time this season they’ve won a game in which they’ve trailed by 15 or more their big three

Score five uh excuse me 88 total they’re now 5 and0 when each scores 20 or more started making tough shots over double so we had to be even more aggressive but you know JB has those guys playing super hard and they’re playing together so you know that’s a

Really good team and a good start to the road trip we spoke pregame about your return knowing that you were itching to get back out there felt that your conditioning was good as well what did you think of your performance tonight um I missed a lot of shots I feel like I

Can make but you know trying to do all the other little things offensive rebounds and you know just continue playing through it you know make or Miss just keep playing hard and now continuing to play through it Boston next another rematch against them what do you need to see from this Sun’s

Team as he looked to close it out on the road I mean just realizing they’re a contender you know they they’ve been playing the best basketball in the NBA all years so I think it’ll be a good test for us in their home home arena where they play really well so you know

We’re looking forward to the matchup so about five weeks to go before the postseason begins and to some extent we’re still looking at this Phoenix Suns team and trying to figure out what can they be they’ve won three or four they’re healthy again what can they be

You I think they can be extremely dangerous um I I wouldn’t want to play them in a game in a series where the games are close because I think they have a guy like Kevin Durant that’s automatic bucking Devin Booker and then Bradley Bill is starting to get into

Some Rhythm offensively still waiting for him he has not played bad Matt but just seeing how he’s going to fit in with those guys they get Bradley Bill on the same page just because they haven’t played together they can go score but can they defend and Rebound in a slower

Pace less possession game in the playoffs and then after that Matt I talked about earlier tonight so small sample side Grayson Allen goes 46 and obviously ner is four or5 but when you’re playing with no Donovan Mitchell tonight does does Bradley bills production come down of 10 and 15 KN he

Has to try to slow down Donovan Mitchell so that that where down as legs on the defensive end knowing you can you got to slow down a guy can possibly go for 60 or seven a single game now I know your shooting percentage may come down because you’re going be a little bit

Tired those are the small little nuances for me before I say wait a minute three guys tonight show they can go get a bucket uh Deon Booker just said they put two on me I’mma give the ball up and guys made shots tonight that’s being unselfish but in the playoffs will those

Guys make those same shots when the likes get a little brighter yeah they’re an interesting team in a lot of ways because of the three big scorers who are so used to scoring in the midrange they’re pretty midrangey yeah happy NBA SMY there’s only what two four there’s

Only six shots from the bench so the other guys have to make shots if we’re going to put pressure on nage and Bradley Bill to guard the wing or the post guy down low because we know uh KD and book gonna get theirs so when they get double team like book showed us

Tonight they’re going to get off the ball are you guys ready to make shots those lights get brighter right and the idea is ultimately at the end of a close game you’ve got three guys you know can score who you going to double yes force you to make that decision there you go

That in of itself is not a bad formula all i’ rather have that yeah and Grayson Al is going to get a lot of those shots he’s been great great season long all right Phoenix gets don’t speech speech spe speeech spee spee foree for spe spee speech we can’t

We create a new world with our own hands kill AB en deated sh down sh double kill it’s G legendary en fore fore for spe spee toy toy spe door spe for to I
