The program is on there as well you could follow it at lockon Warriors where we post updates about the show including my sincerest apologies for not having a a live postgame show Following last night’s Saturday Night Live Affair which resulted in the Golden State Warriors winning a game they desperately needed

128 121 I’ve been feeling it I am under the weather I apologize guys again for not coming live last night I think that was the first time all year uh that I have not hosted a program right after a show so I apologize for that sincerely and also an

AP Bruce marrow nice guest who writes uh who is claiming I have the Irish flu uh no but uh I I just I’m just not feeling good PL in civil um APB out there by the way for a Hall of Famer Rick Barry who was supposed to join me today that this

Is not uh normal routine usually if he makes a commitment he sticks to it so I hope the Hall of Famer is okay uh and he might pop in at any point during the show he’s done that before so we might see him at some point um and Courtney

Fox jumping in with a comment that I wholeheartedly agree with that kaminga uh Wiggins and Clay going on a scoring tear in the first quarter provided much needed time for Steph to get in Rhythm because Stephen Curry did not score in the opening quarter but let’s start with

Steph who had a fabulous game after missing three due to that ankle sprain uh and it’s really crazy like Stephen Curry uh shoots nearly 5% worse from Beyond The Arc in LA versus his career numbers otherwise and it’s a bizarre thing that was one of the questions I

Had for Rick today it’s like why do you think Stephen Curry struggles there there’s never been a definitive answer um he also struggles when playing the the Clippers it’s not just uh the Lakers you know because some people think that maybe because the Lakers dim the lights

For the fans that creates an optical issue for Steph shooting but the Clippers don’t do that and Steph struggles regardless of which La team he plays in La although he does worse against the Lakers at crypto but last night he was huge after that first quarter he uh he got rolling uh played

33 minutes 52 seconds in that vitally important win 31 points for the two-time MVP including one unanimously the only player in NBA history to do so uh and and as usual he had a complete game six rebounds five assists uh 12 of 24 from the field not a great shooting night

From Beyond The Arc three of 10 but he made big ones including that huge four-point play my favorite play in basketball especially when Steph does it and for those wondering uh who he was chipping at after he made that four-point play uh it was reportedly D’Angelo Russell uh who was having a war

Of words I don’t know who Klay Thompson was jarring with I don’t know if that was the same player as well but clay at one point was also having a interesting verbal exchange with someone on the Lakers bench so maybe it was D’Angelo just talking a lot of smack to the

Warriors all in all but uh regardless um Bruce marrow on fire today uh also adding that Trace Jackson Davis helped with the assist to Anthony Davis referring more specifically to the whack in the face uh that that caused the eye contusion for Anthony Davis Davis did

Not come back in the second half and the difference was profound I mean uh the score at the half was 6766 so the Warriors did have a lead going into the half but the game was not under control for them at all uh and the biggest difference I thought at least between

The first half Warriors and the overall warriors uh particularly the second half without Anthony Davis was points in the paint um the Warriors at the end of the first half still were winning the points in the paint battle although ad did Miss significant time in the second quarter

But they won the first half points in the paint battle 24-22 Anthony Davis did not play at all in the second half and the points in the pay battle expanded for the Warriors where they wanted overall 62 to 54 so you can see the difference that it makes when Anthony

Davis does not play um for anyone out there who appre appreciates this win but also takes it in with some skepticism considering the fact that ad missed the second half I hear you um this was not a game where if you you should come out of this as a Warriors fan feeling super

Great about it because the Warriors did not have this game under wraps until the very end uh they finished the game winning it by seven total um and if Anthony Davis plays something tells me anybody could have come away with that I Ian maybe the Warriors still win again

They did have a one-point lead at at the half but Anthony Davis being out was huge um and but again a win’s a win and when you look at the playoff standings for the Golden State Warriors um they Leap Frog the Lakers thanks to this win the warriors were a game behind the

Lakers entering tonight and after this game they’re technically tied because of win percentage but the Warriors are one game ahead in the Lost column they played two less games than the Lakers this season as a whole so both teams unofficially tied for the seed in the Western Conference but the Warriors are

Right now slightly ahead because of win percentage the Warriors are now 35 and 31 the Lakers 36 and 32 but maybe most importantly for the Warriors with this win it prevented the Lakers from outright clenching the tiebreaker between the two teams which is potentially huge if the season comes

Down to them having a tie record I mean the way this thing is going right now all signs are it’s going to be a Warriors Lakers win or take all sudden death playing game um not a great position for the Warriors to be in I’m not going to lie I mean you

Lose that game your season’s over after just one play in um there’s no chance in hell you can call this year a success if that happens um I don’t know how you could call this season a success in general unless the Warriors make a Deep Run in the postseason which could happen

We’ll see but right now the Warriors again they’re tied with the Lakers for nine although technically ahead because of percentage points they Trail the Dallas Maverick so they played two more times this year one of those two games that got postponed because of the uh of

The untimely passing of of of of of movich um remember they canceled the Jazz game they made that up they also canceled a Mavericks game so they play the Mavericks two more times but right now they Trail them by two and a half games so if the Warriors win those two

Games Anything could happen and the Warriors can climb there next up ahead of the Mavericks by a half game are the Sacramento Kings uh who currently hold a three-game lead on the Warriors um but the Kings have been struggling lately they they’ve won only won five of their

Last 10 and then if the Warriors still have aspirations for getting out of the play in all together um again 16 games remain in the regular season and the Warriors Trail the Phoenix Suns for that six seed by three and a half games uh the Phoenix Suns currently 39 and 28 the

Warriors 35 and 31 they Trail the Suns by three games in the loss column three and a half overall because of one less game played so the Suns have one extra win in that category so that’s where they stand and the Pelicans I guess technically are within reach although I

Would not consider the Warriors have a chance in hell of catching a a Pelicans team that is on fire right now um maybe on fire is hyperbolic but regardless they won seven of their last 10 Pelicans are 41 and 26 and they hold a five and a

Half game lead over the Warriors so the five seed is Looking Out Of Reach the six seed is still in reach um and right now the the Suns and the uh bucks are playing as we’re recording this live um which does have implications the Bucks were dominating that game last I checked

Uh and it’s over actually so the Bucks did win that game 129 I’m sorry 140 to 129 so I guess I should refresh my standings uh to see if it’s updated and the Warriors right now are it’s still says they three and a half games back so

They have not been updated yet but after this loss uh by the Suns they’ll now Trail this the the Warriors now Trail the Suns by three games so that’s what’s going on with the standings we’ll talk about that game last night it took a lot of notes again if Hall of Famer Rick

Barry shows up I’ll bring him in uh APB for the Hall of Famer for one of the NBA’s all-time greats want to give a shout out to ESPN uh even though the game technically was on ABC last night they’re branding all these ABC NBA games

As an ESPN production but I want to give them love going into one of the commercial breaks uh they gave recognition to my friend my media colleague and partner Rick Barry uh with a pair of Graphics uh recognizing his uh NBA Finals MVP award which he did win in

1975 I believe that’s what they acknowledged him for uh when he led the warriors uh to the title the last championship before Stephen Curry and crew arrived and started this current Dynasty which still technically isn’t play although they’re also in a transition period we got a lot to talk

About just because again it took a ton of notes a lot to break down in this game but let’s give some love to our sponsors for this afternoon again happy St Patty’s Day folks if you’re celebrating or if you celebrated last night I hope your hangover isn’t super

LeBron James from last night’s game let’s get into last night’s game a little bit here uh again a desperately needed win for the Warriors if they lose they lose the the season tiebreaker to the Lakers they fall two games back to the Lakers and your dreams of getting

Out of that 10 seed so at least you get a home game in the first round suddenly becomes Out Of Reach so that was a massively huge win for the Warriors in La a team that’s had their number for a few years now um and there are a few

Things that stuck out to me in this game for starters I here’s one thing I see repeatedly that I don’t like watching and I don’t know if this had anything to do with Stephen Curry struggling in the open in the opening quarter but I don’t like Stephen Curry defending Austin

Reeves and and the primary reason for that and I see it almost every time the Warriors and Lakers play that is the defensive assignment that Steve kerk gives Stephen Curry I don’t like it because of the size mismatch Austin Reeves is a good basketball player he’s also relatively large basketball player

He’s got a good three to four Ines a good 30 to 40 pounds on Stephen Curry and every time they’re matched up Steph is just exhausted defending that guy I don’t want to see it anymore look I know I know D’Angelo Russell is fast I know he’s a a challenging defensive

Assignment himself largely because of his speed and his skill set but at least Stephen Curry is not getting bullied and muscled because Austin Reeves what he does every time Steph is on him is he posts up he he goes old school he has his back to the basket he asks for the

Ball and gets it and he’ll either back Steph down or he’ll immediately attack the the rim and it just causes a lot of issues for Steph and it wears him down stop that please I’m not a fan of it and and I hope there’s some awareness for

That the next time these two teams play because I’m seeing uh Austin Reeves getting way more success than he should largely because of that matchup I found that interesting as well to start the game that Steve cerr went with a zone defense right off the bat um which was

Interesting so sometimes you saw kaminga defending LeBron early on sometimes you saw Wiggins defending LeBron early on um they were in and out of that zone but I thought it was a it was a little peculiar uh to see a zone defense that early in the game um I don’t know if it

Was a strategy thing I don’t know if if Steve K started right off the bat just to make life easier for his Defenders um but as own defense all that does is open up opportunities for a smart team like the Lakers and the results showed um in

That in that opening quarter where the Lakers scored 36 on the Warriors the score was 3630 after one uh the first quarter defense for the Warriors virtually non-existent and I think a lot of that was that zone defense so it was bizarre it was weird it just it stuck

Out to me I had it in my notes and I just didn’t really know the why of it uh speaking of starts Jonathan kaminga had a fantastic start to this game uh I couldn’t help it I had to rewind and literally jot down uh this sequence in the first quarter where where kaminga

First of all his three-point shot has been falling lately uh in his statline for this game he played 31 minutes I’m always encouraged I need to look up I don’t have it today but I need to look up kaminga stats when he plays 30 plus minutes in a game because there was a

Stretch this season where the team was undefeated when he got 30 plus minutes that string finally broke but I know the Warriors have a fantastic winning record when kaminga gets extended minutes I love seeing it I want more of it and here’s kaminga stat line for tonight it

Was outstanding he was third on the team in scoring with 23 with with tril sta who had 31 led the team and then Klay Thompson we’ll talk about in a second who’s relishing that Sixth Man role uh Klay had 26 in this game we’ll talk about Klay in a moment because he almost

Single-handedly kept the Warriors in this game with his shooting but kaminga nine of 16 from the field he was two of three from Beyond The Arc if my math is correct he is seven of nine in the last three games from Beyond The Arc he’s missed two threo shots in three games

And he’s increased his shooting percentage to above 32% now as Rick Barry will always tell you when he comes on this program 33% is the Mendoza Line for a three-point shooting meaning if you’re shooting 33% or higher you’re not hurting your team 33 is still below the league average depending on position but

It’s enough it’s enough where you could be satisfied with it it’s enough where you don’t have to complain about it and and have a talk with your player if they’re shooting at 33% simply because 33% from three equates to 50% from Two and that’s a damn good number uh from an

Overall field goal percentage so kaminga last night though two of three from Beyond The Arc finishes the game again with 23 points uh he he got into foul trouble in this game largely because of those LeBron James assignments LeBron is a master at drawing fouls we all know

This the Lakers are always one of the top teams in terms of getting free throw attempts um but the sequence to start this game kaminga in the first quarter hits a three he followed that up with a difficult fadeaway shot which was about 15 feet then he took another three and

Drained that then he took a 17-footer at the top of the key and drained that and that was a tone Setter for his confidence and and when a player is making those kind of shots it immediately spaces up the floor it it it puts the the opposing defense’s head on

A swivel for another player to worry about from outside shooting so kudos to kaminga and I wanted to play the sound bite as well uh from Klay Thompson someone after the game uh was was uh smart enough to ask Klay Thompson I don’t know why Klay was one asked about

This but he was and Klay Thompson was asked about Jonathan kinga’s rise as one of the team’s best players now so let’s hear from Klay Thompson the veteran on Jonathan kaminga what’s it like to see kaminga kind of go toe-to-toe with LeBron obviously LeBron was going to get

His but kaminga was going at it too um how much growth have you seen in him uh Jonathan’s been incredible for us I mean the athlete he might be the best athlete in the NBA just his ability to rise up and his combination of speed so he uh is

The future of the franchise and we need him to go we want to go this season absolutely I wholeheartedly agree with that assessment and um um you know Jay Boogie who you know he’s he’s got his loyalties to the to the veterans and stuff in the chat I get that um but you

Write something which I want to address which is that I never criticize Jonathan kaminga here’s why I rarely criticize him a he’s 21 you’re not going to hear me criticize any 21y olds any rookies that often just because they’re super young they’re finding their game and it’s borderline mean to criticize a

Young player in the NBA who has not found his game yet who’s still developing uh you’re not going to hear me blasting pmy you’re not going to hear me blasting Moody that’s just that’s how I roll I I don’t think it’s warranted I also rarely criticize kaminga because

He’s the second best player on this team if I’m gonna criticize kaminga there are 12 other players on this roster who deserve it more than him I don’t have enough time in the day to get to to kaminga criticism I’ve said it before and I’ve said it again the only flaw in

His game and I’m going to dedicate a future show to this and that future show is going to be every individual Warriors player’s defensive matchup numbers those stats exist it is the most objective measurable to determine a player’s defensive prowess is how well they’re defending other players that stat exists

It’s esoteric it’s damn hard to find um you know you definitely have to get accustomed to the NBA stats page to to you know develop a routine in terms of monitoring opposing players defenses but Jonathan kaminga is I could say this fairly objectively and we’ll find out when we do that show

But opposing players do not perform well against them the only player that has posted great numbers when Jonathan kaminga has defended him this season is Devin Booker Devon Booker has eaten him up alive and I’ll happily admit that because the numbers confirm it that’s it though uh Lebron James uh entering

Tonight’s game had did not make a single shot when defended by kaminga this year and kaminga you could see the assignments he routinely guards dearen Fox he guards Luca donic he is one of the most important Defenders on this team he’s become one of the most important players offensively on this

Team he’s now third on the team in scoring and he’s been that way for a while he’s second on the team in free throw attempts my point is what is the point of criticizing kaminga when he is the second best player on a team that’s barely getting into the playoffs I’m not

Averse to to objectively criticizing him but again he’s so young he is far from being a finished product far from it so let’s get back to him in a couple years all right if Jonathan kaminga is doing what he’s doing now at 23 at 25 I’ll happily start criticizing him because

It’s showing that he’s not reaching his full potential and he’s not developing his game the way he should but this is his first year getting real minutes for the Warriors this is his first year starting for the Warriors I I just don’t see the point in ripping them you also

Don’t see me ripping Stephen Curry often if ever for the same reason except for the fact that he’s not young but Stephan Curry is one of the all-time greats the Warriors are nothing without him what is the point of criticizing a player like Steph a player like kaminga when there

Are a lot of other players on this roster who actually deserve it because they’re dragging this team down and not uh Stephen Curry or kaminga so I hope I answer the reason for that he’s just too young his game is still developing it it’s just borderline cruel to develop a

Player that young or for it to to criticize a player that young but to to finish it up and when we come back I’m GNA quickly uh mention my campaign for most improved player because there are odds where you can bet on kaminga for most improved player but the point is

This kid is shining this kid’s improving and this team is not even in the playing without him so if you want to criticize him that’s your that’s your right obviously but you’re not going to see it here much just because again there’s a there’s a pecking order there’s 15

Players on this roster well I guess 14 they got an open spot there’s 14 players on this Rost Foster before I criticize Steph before I criticize kaminga there are 12 other players who deserve it a lot more um so that is the primary reason why uh we got a commercial break

And then when we come back I’m going to quickly talk about most improved player because I think kaminga is getting the short end of the stick for that number I want to give Klay Thompson his love as well Draymond Green had a great attribution from that game pertaining uh

Uh to to Klay Thompson’s performance because it was fantastic um and and I don’t know if the Warriors win that game without Clay’s heroics the dude was folding paper airplanes clean paper airplanes you always know that as a good sign uh when Clay is is feeling mellow

In that regard uh after a game but let’s give some love to our second sponsor for the show um is where there it is Stitch fix let’s talk about some style here for a moment here folks sorry about the sun shining causing that little uh glare to the side

On You are locked on Warriors your daily Golden State Warriors podcast part of the locked on podcast Network your team every day one final segment of locked on Warriors thank you for making locked on Warriors your first listen everyday for the every dayers we’re back either with

Another episode or at the latest we’re back tomorrow night it’s Warriors and nicks at home I got my good friend Paul mcaffrey joining me for the postgame show for that he was just in New York to check out a game at Madison Square Garden the great Raymond Ritter was

Taken tremendous care of him as he does he’s the best PR man in the business I know that’s an inside thing to talk about but regardless Paulie was posting pictures there with Raymond and with his his family and he’s the the former longtime host of the murf and Max show

Super stoked to get Paulie in the program we’re going to talk Warriors immediately following tomorrow’s Warriors Nicks game only 16 to go in this regular season every game is vitally important just to finish up real fast on kaminga just because I wanted Rick on the show today to ask him what

His opinion was on most improved players I feel like there’s two definitions for it some people want to give the award to the budding Superstar who has reached that Superstar level who’s reached that that that phase of his game where he’s routinely getting selected for All-Star

Games where he’s a candidate for all NBA thus why John Morant won the award Tyrese Maxi right now is the favorite to win the award courtesy of the FanDuel sports book uh they have the odds you can bet on this Tyrese Maxi right now don’t even share my screen people can

Kind of follow along here at least on the um on the YouTube side of things so this is the this is how the uh the sports book looks I’ll zoom in a little more there we go um so the most improved player award right now again Tyrese Maxi is

Your favorite minus 180 Colby white of the Chicago Bulls who is having they’re both having great years uh he’s second at plus 125 Jaylen Williams of the Thunder third at plus 4,000 and the good news is kaminga was not listed here before so this is a fairly new entrance

To just be able to bet on him but he’s plus 7,000 and and I guess that you know I I asked or I brought up the fact that there’s usually two interpretations of this award one being who’s improved to the point where they’re now like an All-Star type player but then there’s

The other side of it which is which player has emerged from borderline nothing from borderline irrelevancy to suddenly being a player that is important for your team that has shown measurable improvement from a year ago and I understand all four of these guys have done that but for in my opinion for

Jonathan kaminga to suddenly become the second best player on this Warriors team and when I say that I’m referring to his scoring which is third on the team I’m referring to his defense he’s one of easily he’s one of the top three Defenders it’s him Draymond Green and

Gary Payne II he’s he’s become an an a force as an inside Player points in the paint was a category that the warriors were dead last in early in the season before kaminga started getting minutes and I I don’t have the the current I got

To look that up actually a future show I will mention where the Warriors are now in their points in the paint standing but it has gone up considerably his impact on the Warriors is second to none and when you look at jayen Williams there is a lot of talent surrounding

That kid with the OKC Thunder when you look at Kobe white the Chicago Bulls are irrelevant they’re going to make they’re going to be a playing team in the Eastern conference which means nothing Tyrese Maxi damn good player but he was also a damn good player a year ago and

So I again I’m going to bring this up regularly on the program it’s one of the perks of being the host uh editorial decisions and yeah I’m gonna make an editorial decision that Jonathan kaminga should be getting more attention his odds should be better than plus 7,000 to win the most improved player

Award and where do that Improvement come from last year he average 9.9 points per game this year that number is up to 16.2 it’s above 20 if you take out the first two three months when he wasn’t starting and playing heavy minutes his rebounding numbers have gone up from 3.4

To 4.8 his free throw percentage has gone up from 65.2 to 74.3 and he’s getting to the line a lot the only measurable where kaminga struggling uh his his field goal percentage by the way has gone up 52.5 last year which is already R it’s actually 53 now he he’s improved that

Number and again the three-point shots the only part of his game where he struggled mightily to start the season no denying that um but that number has crept up it’s now at least at a respectable 32.4 he shot 37% last year he’s a career 34.3% three-point shooter

Again not a negative for the team but not something you want him to be continually doing so I want Jonathan kuminga for most improved player that is my campaign last but not least Klay Thompson let’s give him his his due as a six-man last night again the dude was

Folding paper airplanes you always know that’s a good sign um let’s hear from Draymond Green uh on Clay’s performance last night because I felt like Draymond captured the essence of Clay’s performance much better than I possibly could he’s definitely leaning into it he’s enjoying it too he come like right man this is

Nice this is great like I and um you know I think that’s great for this team but it’s also shows his maturity you know you go so long starting he’s been starting since halfway through his rookie season and how the resume that he has build up an

Organization like he has and then you’re asked to take on a bench roll um there’s not many people that know how that feels but there’s a bunch of people that wants to judge it and I felt like early on he was too worried about how people was

Judging it and now he don’t care and once he stopped caring his game did what we know Klay Thompson is capable of doing so I think it shows incredible maturity uh and clay and want to extend this as long as we can um I said this is

Know this is our baby like we’ve built this thing up from the ground up and you know for him to accept the role but not only accept the role uh but pouring into the young guys like he’s been into the young guy since he accepted the role I

Think it’s been huge and when you got Klay Thompson feing you confidence as a young guy that that takes you to the roof and you know it’s allowing these young guys to play at the level that they’re playing yeah and Kudos again to Klay Thompson um just to to his stat

Line real fast as we wrap up the show here uh clay in the six-man rle last night played just shy of 30 minutes he was five of 10 from three nine of 15 from the field overall 26 points on the night four rebounds three three assists uh had three free throw attempts he

Looked like his old self um he passed the eye test last night he was just attacking he had no hesitation so kudos to Clay kudos to the Warriors huge win we’re back at it tomorrow when they play the Knicks only 16 to go folks I’m sorry

Again about not having a live show last night uh for for uh for post game on the on the men here folks I’m I’m I’m I’m sorry but thank you to everyone as always and we’ll be back at this soon have a great Sunday Happ St Patty’s Day byebye
