00:00I guess Roy put it. Well, that was just a workman like victory. Was it pretty it was a bit clunky at times shooting was
00:08On both sides of the floor
00:10But a win is it win and you move on to take on the Boston Celtics Bonte?
00:14Are you familiar with the debut album of three times crazy?
00:18Stacking chips. That's what that was. That was a stack and chips kind of a game
00:22All right
00:22You just gotta beat the opponent and move on because you're facing
00:26Three teams in a row here that are 22 and 1 combined, right?
00:30So you're looking at two of the undefeated teams in the league and then you're looking at Boston and only has one loss and oh
00:36Yeah, they're the defending champion. So are the real tests coming?
00:39Of course, they're coming but to get Steph Curry back and to integrate him and to continue to just play good connected basketball
00:47It's not gonna be perfect every single night, but like stack chips, right?
00:52Victories stack chips and
00:54dare I say
00:56We're halfway there
00:58We're halfway to the point of what I would say that I'm allowing myself to believe and what?
01:06That the Warriors can make a deep run
01:10Can I calm down that we both believe the team can make a deep run in the playoffs
01:15Absolutely. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down
01:17We're five games over 500 currently and if we can get to 10, I'll start believing. Let's let's let's relax
01:24Just a little bit. I love the way to play I do
01:28But it's not lost on me that they beat the Wizards. They beat the Jazz. They beat the Blazers
01:33They beat the Pelicans who lost to the Blazers last night, but but I will say for a matter
01:38It's just one second to the Bella. Are they just awful dude?
01:41I they may be trying to get Willie grief I or something. I have no idea
01:45They lost to the Blazers last night Zion didn't play they got lost by 18 points last night Zion didn't play
01:53Portland I mean
01:56CJ McCollum didn't play Trey Murphy's out homestead. Yeah, I I don't know
02:00I mean the Blazers man, don't break them up to three or five right now. They beat the Pelicans twice this year
02:07Don't break them up
02:09That might not be uttered
02:11Don't break them up. Maybe or break up the Blazers. You may want to do something the Chauncey's found something
02:16No, you're playing hard for Johnson a season
02:18There's only like a handful like even when the Warriors were at their their height, right?
02:22We all agree like we can look at the schedule and it'd be like like I'm going 2018 worse
02:27Like there's also the pistons like seven games in like a 60 game stretch that I like would matter
02:32You know, I mean for the most part
02:35There are a lot of bad teams in the league and I know that some of the good ones do reside in the West
02:40I would say the majority of the good ones just because it feels a little jumbled, right?
02:44The best team I believe is Boston, but neither here nor there
02:48Point being is that you're gonna have these games against the good teams
02:51But to me they're playing a good brand of basketball and you said in the green room and I'm just gonna bring it up now
02:56Not to steal your thunder
02:58But if Draymond green is gonna hit corner threes and hit a couple of layups and throw those alleys to cominga
03:04Because you have to honor the jump shot of Draymond, which is something I didn't think we would have happened at this age
03:11It does change the dynamic in the half-court for this team
03:14You can play combinations of other players like GP to with trace Jackson Davis and get away with it
03:20Well Steph, he said it on our postgame show. We had Steph on we're looking to get Steph on and you know
03:25He feels good with the left ankle as he made his return after three game absence
03:28But I had I asked him I threw the little useless stats in there. He kind of chuckled
03:32And I was just like, you know, what does it mean? Can you discuss Draymond being aggressive off? He goes look man
03:37I don't care if he goes over 20 if he's aggressive
03:41Offensively, it gives them another dimension and you look at them
03:45Look 18 points is great for Draymond, but the five of seven and three four four from the three-point line. He's grabbing rebounds
03:52He's dropping dives five dives eight rebounds
03:54He's playing very and I do believe that this is sustainable for Draymond Green as he ages into the league
04:01Look, there's no doubt. He's a smart basketball player. His IQ is off the charts defensively
04:06We know what he does is an all-world defender
04:08There's no doubt one of the best defensive players we've ever seen in this league
04:11But if he's aggressive offensively and he works on that shot and he bees and he stays aggressive with that shot
04:18His career could age gracefully. It really can when you get double digits from number 23
04:24That's a whole new dimension now now we can skin half it off and off night shooting all of a sudden
04:29Yeah, can we get you can shift them to the pitch?
04:31He's giving you instant productivity, but he healed if he's allowed an off night
04:35You can survive that because Draymond Green is adding something offensively right now
04:40He's playing some very very good basketball and I love where his game is at and the fact is the staff
04:46No setbacks
04:4824 points in 24 minutes
04:50He got cooking in the third quarter with 15 points the two leaders in his team the two pillars that are left on the court
04:57alongside Cavalloni
04:59This is a great development that we're seeing from Draymond Green offensively. This is an awesome. Also, it is something that
05:05You know, we go back and forth with this and I said, hey Draymond just needs to let it fly. Let it fly
05:11But thinking about this for three years just let it fly and now he's as confident as ever is shooting that shot
05:17I can't wait to talk to him like that you
05:19How much did you work it at the offseason because it looks good right now?
05:23He's played it and by the way, he did shoot thirty nine to have percent for three last year
05:27So I do think he has it in there to shoot thirty five to forty percent from three
05:31The shot just doesn't look as flat as it has in years past
05:35This is gonna go down down the rabbit hole here. I always thought that Draymond when he hurt his shoulder
05:40I don't know if it was 18 or 17
05:42He never got the proper shoulder surgery and I believe he played in the olympics or feba or something that summer
05:49He wanted to play which I'm not knocking him for that
05:51Like he wanted to play and he never got that shoulder right right remember when he hurt it?
05:55Yeah, I do remember like his shooting form kind of changed
05:58Was that that was that 18 was that with katie or without katie? I think it was with katie
06:04Maybe an 18
06:05Maybe an 18. I gotta look that up. I free. I remember the shoulder, you know, you're right about that
06:10This is just joe's wild conspiracy theories, but like if you've ever hurt your shoulder it compromises being able to lift right and um
06:18There's two things number one. You need rest and sometimes it can scar over whatever
06:22I know the real doctors are gonna call in and tell me i'm a moron
06:24But like when I didn't have health care, I remember I separated my shoulder and it took a long
06:29time for my shoulder to be right right like a long long long time and
06:34I think about draymond green like okay
06:36Physically, it changes how you shoot and then it takes time and then now there's the psychological part of it because shooting is psychological
06:42I believe to a degree especially for the guys like draymond not not the steph curries and whatnot
06:47Those guys are just amazing and they have so much confidence, but confidence is a big part of it
06:51And I think it was like a twofold
06:52I think he was reluctant to shoot because of the shoulder his shot got changed
06:56And then I think he lost confidence in it and when you play alongside a lot of great passer
07:01I mean a lot of great shooters. You're more liable to pass the ball and you take a backseat
07:05Well now they need him and I think him hitting some buckets
07:09Has enabled the team to be able to play defensive personnel alongside of them and kind of get away with it
07:15But i'm looking at their defensive rating right now
07:17Clearly oklahoma city number one in the league in defensive rating number two
07:22It's the gold state warriors. No, it's look it's it's a tenth of the way through the season
07:27You played bad teams, but we know when the warriors are the warriors. Yeah, they're bombing threes. They're playing great defense
07:34So this is a huge development, um, he had ron adams back in 2016-17
07:40It's katie's first year. I remember there in salt lake city
07:44And ron had joined. This is my first year at k uh here at 95-70 game
07:49And ron adams, he had noticed that germans and this is I think before the shoulder
07:55But he had kind of subtly said because remember the whole backpack hoodies were coming out by warriors world
07:59They had the backpack goodies. Oh, he shoots with the backpack on well ron
08:02Adams had told him but he had gave him a subtle adjustment say hey
08:05Just keep your back like move your back a little bit this way. It was a little subtle adjustment
08:10I wanted to ask right about it yesterday, but we only had 10 minutes about it and from that point
08:15Draymond shot was really rolling
08:17Then kevin durant as he gets acclimated to the bay area and draymond and I get it
08:22There's katie. There's clay in his prime. There's steph in his prime and it's like
08:27Oh, I don't really need to shoot i've got kd clay and steph and curry
08:32So you don't work on it?
08:34And so that's what that was that's what made 2019 a little disappointing when they opened up chase center
08:39Whereas yeah, it was drained a bunch of rooks right jordan pool and paschal and you know
08:43You're not winning many games. I thought that was the year draymond admitted that hey, man
08:48I kind of nailed it in that season
08:50I wanted him that year to just work on this game knowing that steph is going to be back clay is going to be back
08:56They ended up trading for andrew wiggins midway through the year and just work on the threes
09:01Just shoot them forget the percentages just shoot them get your game, right?
09:04Well that didn't happen
09:05But now as we fast forward to 2024 and there's no clay
09:09There's no cp3 and you're acclimating buddy hild and jonathan kamiga and brandon patisky. You got this new crop of warriors right now
09:17His shot does look really really good. He's being aggressive offensively. He's taking big shots, too
09:23It's not just first quarter threes. He's hitting big fourth quarter threes, which is a very very welcome sight for jerry macri
09:29So we got to give him some love because he's playing very very well. Let's go down to south beach
09:33We got some calls south beach south beach, miami
09:37Before you go they're like a top five offensive rated team and they're a top five defensive rated team now
09:43I know they're playing weaker opponents
09:46But that's to me. That's the recipe if they want to go somewhere this year like that is the recipe. Let's do this
09:51Let's go
