00:00Because I'm looking at this team and you know what? I don't think they're a 5c. I just don't I don't think anybody could get
00:06Him to a 5c, but here's what I was thinking last night, and I'm interested to know
00:11what what warrior fans think of it I
00:15Actually do so we've we have half a season left now. The Warriors are 500
00:20they're in a 11th place, but they're two or three there three back of six and
00:25They're a little bit ahead of the Spurs, and they've had a tough stretch, but they're 21 and 22
00:33Half the season's left. You know what?
00:37This is all this is about Steve Kerr
00:40Like what can he do with this team?
00:42Like I think it's completely fair like I you know I think this team should be no worse than a 12
00:49No worse than a 12 and quite frankly. I don't maybe I don't think they're
00:55There are five
00:56Maybe a six so you know what I do think it's fair
01:01to look at Steve Kerr right now, they're in 11 and
01:06Let's measure up with these six other teams that are in our boat whether it's Phoenix
01:13Whether it's San Antonio whether it's us whether it's the Kings I mean
01:18like Steve Kerr
01:21Get him to seven
01:23Like get the Warriors to seven right I think that's fair, and I'm not saying that they finish 11 you fire him
01:30I mean hell he's only got one more year, but the one thing that I'll absolutely meet warrior fans halfway on is
01:39Make this team better than they are make them coach him to more wins than we think you that they deserve
01:47The best out of them no doubt and that's why I had a problem on a personal level
01:51Stani hearing that he's saying his players. He's watching him. He's around him every day and
01:56You know half of being a coach
01:57I believe as a psychologist being a parent, but the bottom line is when I hear you know players
02:02Don't have their confidence, and I'm hearing it more than once
02:05I just thought it was fair game yesterday to think okay, Joe Lacob gave you that two-year deal that new deal
02:11I'm wondering what Lacob is how he would answer your question about Steve Kerr
02:16So like you said where we got a lot of season left, but yeah
02:20I'd like to see more and I do want to know it'll be interesting to see when when the gang gets healthy
02:26How post in Santos are utilized Donnie again? I utilize less hmm
02:31Well, I mean look they're missing four guys right now who are higher in the rotation than then them so but yeah
02:39I mean how does Steve Kerr navigate pods coming back tonight? What if Kyle Anderson comes back?
02:44Does he just jump right in over Santos is Quinton post gonna get 15 minutes a night like I don't know what the answers are
02:51But I do think it's fair to say Steve
02:54We need you to coach. Why we need you to coach us this year. I agree with you
02:58I mean you see what we got we got an aging star and Steph Curry. We got Wiggins
03:03He's having a nice little year. I guess
03:05Cominga shown flashes. He's gonna be back in two weeks
03:08Draymond green is still
03:11You know
03:13Some of the player he wants like put it together Steve Kerr make make it work
03:18Yeah
03:19Get the most out of this team
03:20And if you want to know just about last night about last night shout out Rob low
03:25Stoney the first half the Warriors points off turnovers, which I think is a big deal
03:29They wanted in the first half 13 to 6 and end up losing it for the game
03:3427 to 16 like what happened how what what and I know Schroeder was a part of it
03:41At 5 on the night, but my goodness Donnie just just watching Sacramento be able to impose their will on a night
03:48De'Aaron Fox and I'll give Wiggins credit not just for a scorn
03:51he was making it difficult, but De'Aaron Fox was 2 of 11 and
03:55Still they were able to come back from an 18 17 point deficit
04:018 8 8 9 5 7 9 5 7 0 from the 9 to 5 Stiney
04:05That's like asking her to make filet mignon and Lake of hands you hamburger not necessarily
04:11I mean, I'm not asking him to finish second in the West. I'm asking him to get to seven
04:16Well, I'm asking him to close some games where you're up 18. I mean, I don't think that's asking too much. I just believe that
04:24This team
04:26You know if they finish 11 or 12 that that's underachieving if they finish not if they finish 9 or 10
04:338 9 or 10
04:34Maybe that's where they should be if they finish 6 or 7 then Kerr did a good job
04:39Like that's kind of the way I'm looking at this team are they directionless right now
04:43I don't know. I don't know what less directionless to me after last night's game than after the Boston game
04:50But I'm the reason I don't games they've played in a while
04:53yeah, and one of the bet one of the ingredients that we don't get much as we saw two guys Santos and and
04:59And my guy Quinn post that they were a part of that game. They got the ball
05:04They didn't hesitate they made plays and let's be honest the right on the table brought to you by echo pest control
05:09Stani is our bigs not named post
05:12Looney and TJ D really can't do anything with the ball outside of five or ten feet, you know
05:18And it was just it was a pleasure to see a warrior
05:21What size a seven footer be able to take a shot and Steph Curry said after the game?
05:26He hadn't even really been on the forward Quinton post. So I'm like man moving forward study
05:30I'm not saying 40 minutes
05:32but the bottom line is
05:33When I say directionless is it you're gonna go trade and bring in an OG to try to make one last-ditch effort
05:40Or do you say Stani goo? We're going young and you're gonna see more post
05:44You're gonna see more gee Santos like I'm okay with it
05:48But I think we're at a crossroads shout out bone thugs
05:52Well, if they if if he decides to use those guys, are you okay if they finish 37 and 45?
05:58I mean, that's the question I have but the fear is daddy
06:01They could be not use those guys go as is and still be 37 and 45. That's the reality
06:08Well, and where are you better if you're 37 and 45 knowing your youngsters have gotten some so, you know
06:15I'm just telling you that that if if all of a sudden we're gonna threat we're gonna say not listen
06:19I said I think Santos should stay in the starting lineup, but that's basically to play 15 minutes a night
06:23Well, listen if you're saying let's give post a run let's give post and Santos a longer runway
06:31Do you know where I come back to be?
06:34well
06:35Okay, but then we're not doing everything for staff anymore and I I get it
06:39That's what the team seemed to indicate
06:41But like if you really let's be honest if you want to use post and say I'm telling it
06:48You're gonna finish 12th in the West. I
06:52Mean come on who we kidding. So if Draymond is 24 years old already. Yeah, he's a second-round pick
06:59He's a nice, you know, great. He's a good stretch five
07:03Okay, fine. If you want to play those got like I don't I'm not playing those guys until it's over
07:08My set or or I'm not it's like I'm not gonna play Quinton post and Santos and think we're gonna make a big run at
07:16At six or seven and you know, I got you
07:18I'm better having Dre in there like how Dre's like offensively
07:24I think both of those guys are better than Draymond Green who gives you a better chance to win
07:30All right, and I'm not what if I'm being honest, I'm not being a smart-ass Donnie what I saw yesterday
07:35I know it's the short sample size and it's not fair
07:38But from what I've seen from Draymond this year and what I saw yesterday and the day before the game before with a
07:44D Santos again, it's not they're better but offensively
07:48They're not challenged and this team with Draymond Green is often their offensively challenge
07:54Well, they can I alleviate that if D Santos is out there and Quinton post if he could keep what he did last night up
08:01And I know they'll be growing pains Donnie, but from an offensive standpoint, we can't ignore
08:06This team is it's impotent offensively. They gave up 75 points in the second half that they did
08:1375 so like I 21 from the free-throw line. I I agree that they need scoring
08:20I also don't think they're a great defensive team
08:22but
08:23And they're not good at layups and free throws. I mean you don't get to play Quinton post Moses Moody
08:31Guy Santos Steph Curry and
08:34Brandon Projemski and think you're gonna win 10 of 11 games
08:38So I'm not against
08:40See ya. Yeah, you've been Quinton post playing time
08:42Yeah, but you're gonna give Quinton post playing time at Santos more
08:45You better be ready for some growing pains and like that's the other thing. I think Steve Kerr if this team gets healthy
08:52The goal should be to whatever get to seven get into what play and situate, you know
08:57Evan said it and I think I'm gonna agree with it. We're going to get one home play in game. That's the goal
09:04Not for me home
09:07They're in 11th place right right I got it and there's an extenuating circumstances as to why they are but that's not a goal
09:16Well, what do you what? Okay. Okay. Tell me what your goal in dream world is then
09:21I told you to make a playoff to make the playoffs. Okay, and if we look at the Warriors track record
09:27It doesn't mean anything. We're one in the playing in they lost to Memphis years ago
09:32We saw that didn't stepped in scoring OT you lost the sack last year and then you lost to the Lakers the year you were
09:39in it like I
09:40Guess what? I'm asking Stiney is what would that what goal is that?
09:43What would that what box would that check to give you so playing game?
09:47Bigger, let's think bigger and get to the playoffs. Tell that to Steve Kerr
09:51He's the one talking about getting one swing at it. You're in 11th place. What do you think they can get up to four?
09:57No, I'm not saying. Okay. Well, I'm saying let's get the seven see if we can get a home play in game
10:02And squeak into the tournament like what do you mean?
10:04That's like what team do you think you're watching that there that the goal should be?
10:08Greater than that at this point and if you get a home play on game
10:12That means that if you win exactly the seventh seed and you avoid
10:16OKC like if you just scrape in as a playing team you get the eight
10:21You get the right to get manhandled by the Thunder in the first round
10:24I mean, I know it's as the Elton John would say I know it's not much but like that sounds very
10:30Logical and possibly doable to get a home play in game win a home play in game and you're in well right now
10:37They're three behind the Clippers for the six seed
10:40Yeah, I mean you got to handle your business. I know I'm playing standings, but I brought it up, but
10:46Man and Evan to your point. I hear you. I hear you. I'm not mad at you
10:51But what if they lost that home playing game?
10:53Then you're not in the hall now, right?
10:56That's right, but like but I wonder why your energy is on team
11:03Sell me
11:05Team right now cuz it should be that that's why I got well, I don't know that it is
11:11888 is this a playoff team
11:14888 9 5 7 9 5 7 0 is the number it sounds to me like we got to figure out the
11:21expectations for the Golden State Warriors
11:23Have they changed if they haven't why not
