00:00No now, I'm mentally invested. Don't tell me to pray. You don't say what's more
00:05He brings the perspective. Yeah, I I think they both have a great point get off me text line
00:13He's truly one of a kind
00:18He's doing a great job, I need you to man up and say what you really want to say
00:24You're doing a great job, holy cannoli right together. They're stymie and guru
00:33All righty, what's going on everybody Matt Steinmetz down?
00:37We're coming to you from Thrive City. That's outside Chase Center
00:41We'll be doing the show from 10 to 2 and then we turn it over to Willard and dibs
00:45And then the Warriors play the Dallas Mavericks tonight
00:49Clay Thompson makes his return to Chase Center, and it should be a
00:54Emotional night a fun night and hopefully a night where we get a little closure on the whole situation
01:01Yeah, no doubt and as the kids say we can't bury the lead Snotty
01:04We outside because we are literally outside and it's beaut I feel like I'm at home play to like Petco Park
01:11This would make a good wiffle ball place, but clay man. What can we say?
01:15We're gonna. We're gonna give him his propers, and it's just do but Stan. He's gonna be some tears tonight, man. I believe yeah
01:23And I think you know he's gonna get obviously a resounding ovation probably a standing ovation
01:29deserves every every
01:31You know every bit of it four-time champion with the Golden State Warriors, and now he's with Dallas
01:36And you know you you look back on on his tenure with the Warriors and the reality of the situation is we've seen it
01:45We've seen him win titles. We've seen him unfortunately lose two seasons the injury
01:50we saw him lose a little bit of his role in the last season, but
01:56When you know I always felt goo when we talked about the Warriors in their heyday
02:02When they when they had Steph Draymond and clay Thompson
02:06I always felt like clay was the most well-loved of all three by by
02:12Outside warrior fans and what I mean by that is I feel like Steph Curry was a little bit of
02:19You know he was the guy that always got you
02:21So he didn't like Steph Curry if you were a fan of another team because he was so great
02:26Draymond of course was the villain, but I always felt like clay Thompson was the player that even non warrior fans
02:33Really loved just because of his attitude how cool. He was how you know a little bit
02:40Flighty he he was but you know he's gonna come back tonight
02:44And and I think everybody's gonna kind of remember the good times
02:47And it should be should be a lot of fun out there no doubt and you tell me if I'm doing a little too much
02:52With this tank, but it's like a great TV show right everybody has a different character a different personality
02:58And you mentioned Draymond and Steph and their beloved but clay too
03:02And his his role to me was just letting people inside of who he was Donnie
03:08He wasn't a fake. He wasn't a phony. He was just natural and people gravitated to him
03:12So it'll be interesting, and I know we got some sound from him to see how this moment
03:18How he takes it all in?
03:19But when I think of clay Thompson
03:21I just think of a real one that always had is he would let you into his world Stony
03:26And it's just amazing that we're outside here before
03:30The storm happens tonight when they take on Dallas in a cup game study the first cup game of the year different floor
03:37I'm not that excited
03:40Bob Myers gonna join us at 1015 former president of basketball operations for the Golden State Warriors, so he's coming up in about 10 minutes
03:48We'll be joined by Kirk Lakob at 1 o'clock out here today
03:52And we're efforting a bunch of a bunch of other guests but tonight clay Thompson
03:56returns to Chase Center and the Dallas Mavericks take on the Golden State Warriors and
04:03You know the one thing. I think we're gonna get into today is
04:07There does seem to be and I don't know what the phrase is if it's bad blood or not, but you know there
04:14There is something that needs to be fixed. I think between clay Thompson and the Warriors organization Wow and
04:22It might not happen tonight, but it'll eventually happen, but I just think if you
04:28Listen to what clay's been saying over the last few days. You know I don't I don't think
04:34He was crazy about the way it ended here, I think he's I think he's good with his teammates
04:40I think he's good with the fans, but I think that I
04:44Just think that he would have preferred it to end a different way and eventually I think they'll come together, but
04:53Right now it's fresh the wound I feel like it is and we've been through
04:58We've been around the block a few times down to you and myself so just like it would friendships and relationships
05:04You know they're breakups and sometimes, but you know either party needs more time than the other and sometimes
05:10You never come together to reconcile and and kind of just talk about what went wrong
05:15And I feel like clay is on that side
05:17But let me you tell me if I'm doing too much because these are my feelings
05:20But I don't know if you caught it last night on Twitter the boss
05:23Sent out the video of clay in the finals against Toronto where we were doing the pre and post and we were in the building
05:30Oracle and clay
05:32Initially got hurt no, and he was on the ground thriving in pain
05:36Stunning nobody at that point knew what the future had in store
05:40But it focused on Steph and Steph went down on the other end of the court. He had the ball
05:46It was almost like he was a prophet Stiney of knowing the severity of what?
05:52This injury as clay light on the ground was going to do and in a crazy world
05:57Clay showed us all the darkness he had to go through to come back, and he never was the same, right?
06:03But what if I told you watching that video Stiney and Steph's reaction?
06:07Steph was kind of right because it never was the same after that I
06:12Mean they they recaptured it in 2022, but you're right. I mean after clay came back from injury
06:19It's one of those things where if you look at
06:21You know you look at his career stats, and there's a two-year break where he didn't play basketball
06:27And then you look at where the stats picked up after that, and he's just not quite the same player
06:33I think I think we know that
06:35He got paid though while he was hurt though Stiney. That's that you know who am I to score anything?
06:40But that's one thing to where I feel like the organization did right by you
06:44Well what I mean, that's my two cents. I think I mean
06:50They had to pay him at that point. I mean because he was you know that was his first
06:55That's the one thing I was thinking about with clay Thompson is
06:59First eight years of his career. He missed 25 total games, so he missed an average of three games a year
07:06He was an Ironman never shot less than 40% from three-point range in any of his first eight seasons
07:12So he was to me. He was the guy who could always be counted on
07:18Those first ten years of the Dynasty, and you know Steph had some injuries early in his career
07:24He missed a lot of games early Draymond green obviously didn't come here as a starter when he was
07:33Selected out of Michigan State, and he's been in and out of the lineup here and there
07:37he's been banged up a little bit, but clay was always the guy who seemed to be in the lineup day in and day out and
07:44He was an Ironman. He was an Ironman goo. Yeah, no doubt and we talked about a ham and cheese peanut butter and jelly
07:51Shaq and Kobe and the Warriors got Steph and clay both homegrown talents and Mark Jackson
07:57I always think of him especially on this day
07:59When he came out and made the shared with us the world that he thought you know he was coaching the best shooting backcourt
08:06Ever and he ended up being right, but I mean we're watching them on the big screen here
08:11You know they got the memes of clay right now the holy cannoli, but Stiney. I'm just
08:15honestly, man, it's just special to be a part of this day and
08:19To be a Bay Area resident
08:22To be able to watch clay and Steph grow and do what they did in regard to capturing four titles. Yeah
08:29clay Thompson
08:31Great career as a Golden State Warrior and
08:35Came to an end at the end of last season and now he's a Dallas Maverick
08:39Guys always you know when they when they play their former teams
08:43It's always a special night for some and I got to believe tonight. It's going to be
08:48A special night it feels like and we're gonna play a lot of this clay Thompson sound from the last couple days
08:53It certainly feels like he's trying to underplay this without I I completely understand and we'll see
09:00we'll see how it all plays out, but
09:03Should be a should be a real interesting night
09:06Tonight at Chase Center with the Dallas Mavericks coming in there five and five and the Warriors off to a great start
09:12They are eight and two eight and two so
09:16If you're out near Chase Center come by say hello
