The Warriors Won And Everything Is Great Again!



The Warriors Won And Everything Is Great Again!

As the dubs get it done 137 116 Joe shasi everything’s fine they blew out a team they were supposed to blow out although little extra I got scared scared for just a second that Draymond Green was going to get knocked out of there but the more I watch the

NBA and how they officiate and stuff like that I was like they’re not tossing Draymond Green I think he actually has some sort of a shield around him now that like Ed Malloy scottt it’s always a fun game and they don’t want to be the guy that knocks him out for another

Extended amount of time but good morning to you sir good did you see Taylor Jenkins uh essentially look like Earl hner or one of these WWE refs who got accidentally caught up in the melee whenever I look at Taylor Jenkins he looks so unhappy to be coaching the

Sport of basketball like is there an unhappier looking person that is coaching sports right now than him oh that’s Taylor J whenever I see him I swear to God yeah but he won though so like it’s all right he’s like I’m just tired of winning all although he’s kind of getting crushed in

This new dock I haven’t seen that’s something that we might be able to discuss later well Bob Craft I mean it’s it’s a craft Foundation is right okay production but yes no that’s a great question you know the thing with Taylor Jenkins I have cousins Jack and Mike

Schindler Taylor Jenkins looks like the third Shindler brother anybody that knows my cousin’s knows I mean hairline build look everything about him Burly Lumberjack looking very Viking like yeah you know and scuffle that they had they’re not even a scuffle like they fell into each the whole thing was just

Weird last night but the Warriors won and that’s all that matters they’re a half game back to the Lakers for the ninth spot now Lakers have like four days off they get back in Action tomorrow against the Sixers Warriors back in Action tomorrow wrap up the home

Stand thank you Bonte against the Pacers that will be a tougher matchup Griz listen they did what they were supposed to do last night Joe they needed a win because if they lost that game now all of a sudden I’m starting to get a little worried get some ease off get some

Pressure off take care of business tomorrow and then a massive match up in Minnesota on Sunday against Anthony Edwards and Co can we just ask out loud what what was like with with with so much on the line and so little Equity that they’ve established in terms of a

Win loss record like they have to win a lot of these games and there’s no margin of error 500 at home now 18 and 18 thank God and so like Draymond is like doing this thing with the finger over the lips as I put my finger over my lips I was is

He saying that they were stinky that the Grizzlies it’s not like the Warriors are much better and I get it you’re you’re a minted Champion but it just the whole thing made zero sense like Draymond just play basketball I mean they don’t have pointy they don’t have their two best

Players like John Morant Marcus Smart are like not playing so of course they’re going to stink although my guy Santi Alama who is this I I I don’t know just the game of his life he’s 7 feet tall and he was just looking like wemi out there talking smack I like that by

The way I said this in a thread he’s only one of the two active Spanish players in the league right now that’s actually kind of nuts considering how much talent has come out of that country within the last 20 plus years think of the gasal brothers you think of uh who’s

My guy Jose Calderon you think of uh Rudy Fernandez all these guys right but hey Santi Alama I will never forget you now there you go and by the way shasi GG Jackson that guy it’s the most fraudulent the number one high school player though Jared Jackson Jr dude oh Z

Jackson okay I’m talking about this one for a second is there a player who and I look at Giannis deserving of a DPI I look at Anthony Davis probably should have had a DPI I look at Jared Jackson Jr and he’s a great player but when I

Watch him a lot of the times it’s just he just seems to get you know kind of lost in the shuffle out there he’s not you know against a team like the Warriors who granted they’re small I feel like he should have dominated a lot more against a team like that

Defensively or offensively both big I I really like and I like tjd a lot but like that’s a matchup that I’m looking at in that one like hey you should be able to get yours and most of it I was just like okay tjd I’m I’m liking a lot

More every single time he plays I can’t get enough of that guy did you see the wraparound pass to kaminga that was just absolutely beautiful his IQ I’ve been very impressed with I totally agree kaminga had an unbelievable left-handed Duncan traffic that was just so sick but

No um jiren Jackson Jr I’m intrigued with I think he’d be significantly better on a more button- up organization I just think top down because of their leader like most of these teams take on the identity of their best player think of the Rockets with James Harden were

They detail oriented not really that’s just not who James Harden is no he’s he’s a me me me guy yeah exactly and so when I look at John Morant being the leader of that team I think jiren Jackson Jr Falls in line behind John and it’s no surprise to me that the effort

Level and the consistency is up and down with a guy like that I’m intrigued with him he’s a modern big who can switch out on the on the sides I think he shoots way too many threes uh than I would like but I think in the right situation he’s

He’s a perfect player in terms of switching on the perimeter for a big guarding Smalls a much needed win last night for the Golden State Warriors again 137 116 over the Memphis Grizzly Stephen Curry didn’t even have that great of a game 14 points for him but

That’s actually a great sign for for me if I’m a fan of the Warriors because they finally won a game in which Steph did not have to be heroic he didn’t have to have a lot of stress minutes later in that game Andrew Wiggins granted it was

Against a bad team but finally 9 of 14 22 points got out of his little slump a double double for him 10 rebounds kaminga CU this guy real quick Jonathan kaminga can anyone SWAT that guy from behind now I don’t think so if he gets a

Head full of steam he is dunking that thing with authority like not even LeBron James in his prime I think could SWAT this guy the athletic the athletic ISM I am seeing from Jonathan kaminga off the charts right now Joe I have been so impressed with how this guy has

Bounced back after getting benched last year and um after the Wiggins whole thing you know not getting playing time voicing his frustrations to C.J Holmes of then the San Francisco Chronicle all that to see his Coming of Age this season in a win like that in which they

Needed it’s just been refreshing to watch to be honest with you his rebounding defensively has been significantly better um he was hounding out there on yeah he really was and on a field on a field on a court with a guy like jiren Jackson Jr who I believe to

Be very athletic for his size kaminga is playing at a whole another speed and a whole another height speed is the word for me like quick yes I’m loving where he’s at right now I I mean look I don’t know the way this team’s hierarchy is

Who knows because it’s there is a I would say an interesting hierarchy tapestry pecking order however you want to describe it when it comes to this team J the kaming is the second best player on this team yes he is he may not be he may not be in terms of like how

The team views itself but how other teams are viewing this team it’s Steph one kaminga 2 not even close in my opinion anday and Clay yes Andrew Wiggins is a no-show like that was the guy that was supposed to be the and he had a good game last night I see listen

I’m not here to crush him or anything like that today because he had a good game Let’s acknowledge he had a good performance but for most of the Season like would we be shocked tomorrow if he had you know a a three for 10 game eight points a couple boards and like an

Assist no cuz that’s what he’s been doing all season long he goes in and out he comes back to the fold he Fades away so the consistency from Jonathan kaminga standpoint yes he has been the second best player now is that good enough to win you a championship this year

Probably not and to be calling a championship when you’re a 10th seed right now I know that’s that’s crazy but that’s what the standard is for the Golden State Warriors so going forward can he still be that second best player on a championship Squad that’s going to be interesting this offseason

When Mike dun Le is going to have a lot to chew on it’s obviously depending on how the season ends do they make a run do they not make one right now they are the 10th spot they got the Rockets behind them they got three games back so

Uh we’ll see how things shake out Joe shasi but they needed that one they they did need that win but I’m not making any sweeping indictments on what they are what they can do you know and look I I get Fitz’s point of view and I I like

Fitz I know a lot of people don’t care for some of of his the way that he presents things on The Telecast I I I get a kick out of him but what I’m not going to do stop stop it I just all this

Drops I know what I’m not going to do is go flying again like I promised myself I wouldn’t flying to the other end of the room like they could go on a debron dog you were neck and neck with the Grizz for multiple quarters and I

Couldn’t name half the guys the Grizz G almost dropped all yeah they almost dropped 60 on you in the first half and they’re they got no one on there I don’t know who Santi Alama is I do now but did not know you were one scuffle away from

Sakis kicking Draymond out of that game and potentially having another suspension the season being over exactly like I mean and that that to me is like I the Draymond stuff like man dude can you just play basketball can you just and maybe I’m alone in this I just can

You just play basketball can you just stop with all the extra you’re arguing with a bunch of guys like you are telling me you’re the greatest defensive player of all time when I think of Rodman and I CL my eyes I think of him scuffling with at the time one of the

Greatest scorers of all time in Carl Malone okay that’s what I think of he was going against the other team’s baddest man every single time not against some guy none of us has ever heard of from Spain what’s his name Santi Alama Santi Alama having the game

Of his life and you’re you’re jarring with him back and forth like come on man you’re going to let a g-league t guy like get all up in your Dome what what and I’m supposed to take this team serious well he’s the heart and soul the

Team Jo shasi still he’s one of the leaders of the squad all the all the the players seem to think that now can do you still want him being the leader after everything that happened I get it since he’s been back though he’s been playing well but that just highlights no

To your point though something like last night highlights just how fine of a line it could be from this season potentially being over because they ain’t doing a damn thing without Draymond Green on the squad that’s why it’s so tough to watch him scrap against guys like a Santi

Alama right all these dudes out there by the way Desmond Bane did not do anything last night two 13 did you see Alama like the thing with Alama last night like the guy played with a sense of urgency like his NBA career was on the line and when

I watch The Warriors and I get it they’re established they’re making lots and lots of money their legacies are are cemented but I don’t see that from Wiggins could you imagine if Wiggins played with the the fire Alama played with and I don’t expect every single player to play that way every single

Night but my God the season guys is slipping away we’ve got a handful of games here let’s show a little sense of urgency listen and I

The Warriors took care of business against the lowly Memphis Grizzlies last night in a game that had far more at stake that it should.

  1. Klay should be back in the starting lineup because Podz can't shoot. He can't even make free throws. In the play-in and playoffs (if they are that fortunate) they will need scoring from the jump. Teams will double Steph. You will need another scorer, besides Steph and JK starting games to set the tone and not allow the team to fall behind.

  2. Wiggins made the difference in this game as Wiggins was really defending and also shot 9 out of 14 (and stunning 4 of 6 three pointers) with 10 FREAKING rebounds (usually 4 rebounds), 3 assists and 1 steal. THIS IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN PRODUCTION and EFFICIENCY for Wiggins. Why doesn't he do this for every game and no one is talking about how good he was in this game???? Look at the highlight videos for this game where he is chasing everyone down and trying to block shots and boxing out Memphis players for rebounds and all. It is like someone sat him down and said, "Look, this is your last chance to produce and show what you are made of or we''ll go to your agent and cut you by sending you to join your friend Jordan Poole in Washington where YOUTUBERS will constantly make mocking videos about how you failed your career so badly." Either that or someone game him some testosterone shots so he grows some 'tiene huevos.' TJD should be a starter and not PODZ is way too small to do any defense.

  3. Joe you need to watch the game.. he wasnt jarring with him because he had a good game Santi elbowed Green to Draymond's ribs after the play was over and thats why Draymond grabbed him

  4. Draymond does the finger gesture and the bench does it back to him when he does something good. He’s done it all season
