00:00Lakers are going to be pretty good though, huh?
00:02Hold on, because I don't think you guys paid up.
00:07You Willard and Dibbs.
00:08If we want to make a bet that the Lakers make the playoffs and not the play-in, let's do
00:13it right now.
00:14You do not have Anthony Davis, two guys that helped the Olympic team win the gold medal
00:18on your roster, and not make the offs.
00:21The Lakers are a playoff team, okay?
00:23So that's a bet.
00:25Not play-in, play-off.
00:26So, wait, so if you finish 10th, but you win two games.
00:32Oh, no, no.
00:33If you're part of the play-in, you would win the bet.
00:35I'm talking about you're not, you don't like the Warriors.
00:37I don't even want them to play.
00:38I don't care about the Lakers.
00:39Well, you brought them up.
00:40I'm not betting.
00:41That's because they're, because you have such a, you have such a foreign, oh, here we go.
00:46They gave Denver all they could hit on four and a half games.
00:47Yeah, and you know what they did.
00:48Yeah, the Olympics lost.
00:49Oh, yeah.
00:50That was pleased.
00:51Yeah, they were knocking on the championship door.
00:52All right, Mouth, would you rather be the Lakers or the Warriors right now?
00:54The Warriors.
00:55We'll see.
00:57I'm not, I'm not.
00:58Come on, man.
00:59You know it's Warriors on mine all day.
01:00Give me LeBron and Anthony Davis.
01:01They got two.
01:02LeBron.
01:03You got one.
01:04He's got no lift.
01:05He's got no lift.
01:06He's too old.
01:07He drunk.
01:08How many times, how many times, how many times we see this?
01:12Here comes LeBron downhill.
01:13Oh, yeah.
01:14There's two guys back.
01:15Yeah.
01:16And he just lowers his shoulder.
01:17And then, oh, I got nowhere to go.
01:20I'll kick it out.
01:21He can't finish anymore for the most part around the rim.
01:25He's 40.
01:26But he's still.
01:27Still.
01:28Did you watch the Olympics?
01:29No, not really.
01:30Okay.
01:31Dude, he was incredible.
01:32Why would I?
01:33He was incredible.
01:34He bailed him out, too.
01:35Curry bailed him out.
01:36So did LeBron.
01:37So let's make a bet if you think he's old and decrepit like that.
01:39Well, remember last year you had him go on to the Western Conference Finals.
01:42You told me he quit.
01:43Do you still have him?
01:44Hang on to the past.
01:45Okay.
01:46So are they making the Western Conference Finals?
01:47No, I made playoffs.
01:48That's the new bet for 2024.
01:49I'm not taking that.
01:50That's a sucker bet.
01:51All right, let's move on.
01:52And I ain't a sucker.
01:53Let's move on.
01:54What do you think you're working with right now?
01:55What do you think is going to have a better record?
01:56The Warriors.
01:57The Warriors will have a better record.
01:58That should be the bet.
01:59But then, no.
02:00That's my favorite.
02:01He's afraid to make that bet because he's scared that Warrior fans will get mad at him.
02:02See, that's how you feel deep down.
02:03I think the Warriors will win more games.
02:04Why would I want to root against my team?
02:05I don't want to win that.
02:06It's not worth it.
02:07Right.
02:08Think about it.
02:09Exactly.
02:10It's not worth the smoke.
02:11I get it.
02:12But trust me.
02:13What smoke?
02:14As somebody who's taken 15 years of the smoke.
02:15Oh, see.
02:16It's not worth it.
02:17It's not worth it.
02:18It's not worth it.
02:24I can handle it.
02:25Please.
02:26I want the Warriors to do better than the Lakers.
02:29They will.
02:30They will.
02:31By the way, the Lakers are also set at 43 and a half wins.
02:35Oh my gosh.
02:36Dude.
02:37Wow.
02:38What?
02:39The Lakers should be at what?
02:4064?
02:41Let's go to Marvin.
02:42Marvin's in the city.
02:43Hey, Marvin.
02:44Yes, sir.
02:45I got disappointment for you, Steinie.
02:46I went up to Tahoe.
02:48I put 50 bucks on the Warriors to win the whole thing.
02:49And I put also.
02:50I've also put money on them to beat their over under on the win at 43 and a half.
02:51I think they're going to be in the 50s.
02:52And here's why.
02:53Years ago, the Warriors changed basketball by shooting three.
02:54What I've seen in these preseason games, they got five guys around the field.
02:55They got five guys around the field.

05:27They got five guys around the field.
05:28They got five guys around the field.
05:30you're not going to make everyone you take.
05:34Yeah.
05:35Best addition to this year's team is Coach Stotts.
05:39That's from the 785 on the, uh, no love for stack.
05:43I who stack house?
05:46Yeah.
05:47Uh, yeah, I think he meant Western conference finals, Portland.
05:51Yeah.
05:52We're not a championship level team.
05:53Remember we were at the local taverns watching those games.
05:57Which ones?
05:58Sweet port sweat Portland.
05:59And we were like, wake us up.
06:02Yeah.
06:03Damn.
06:04Let me guess.
06:05You don't like what's going on in Milwaukee.
06:06Uh, let's go to Jimmy in Dublin.
06:10What's going on, Jimmy?
06:11How you doing, man?
06:12How you doing?
06:13How are you guys doing?
06:14I'm well.
06:15Yeah.
06:16So, I mean, I'm thinking, uh, I'm thinking, I mean, for one, the core, the core guys
06:23in the Warriors have gotten a year older, you know, uh, Curry, Draymond, who's to say
06:29Draymond isn't going to have another episode and spiral out and miss, you know, I mean,
06:33with that guy, you, that guy, you, you don't know, you might miss 20, 30 games just off
06:37of being suspended.
06:38But right.
06:39Well, secondly, real quick, just be, be a little careful cause, cause that's guru's
06:44guy.
06:45Oh, go ahead, Jimmy.
06:46He's not, he playing.
06:47Go ahead, man.
06:48I'm listening to you.
06:49Go ahead, baby.
06:50Yeah.
06:51He camping.
06:52Right.
06:53So with that being said, uh, I think, I think a lot of NBA teams and, um, you know, uh,
06:58coaching and stuff like that are going to make adjustments to, uh, Pudzinski, you know,
07:02I mean, you know, everybody's rookie year.
07:04Nobody knows a guy.
07:05I mean, you can do film and college and stuff like that, especially, I mean, you know, playing
07:07at a school like Santa Clara, but I think they're going to adjust to him.
07:10I don't think Buddy Hill is a better replacement than Clay.
07:13Me personally, because I mean, Buddy, Buddy Hill and Clay, both are sticky shooters, but
07:18I personally would rather have Clay still, you know, still at this, at, at, at, at, at
07:22Clay's age.
07:23And, uh, I mean, Kyle Anderson, slow mo, man, he's not going to give you much.
07:27Milton.
07:28I'm not, I'm not really big on him either, man.
07:30I mean, they just got a bunch of C-type, you know what I mean?
07:33And I just think, I don't think they're going to, I don't think they're going to be better
07:36than they were last year for sure.
07:37I mean, you know, he lost some leadership, but Chris Paul, you know what I mean?
07:41Uh, I think Wiggins will have a better year than last year, but overall as a team, nah,
07:45I don't, I don't see them.
07:46I don't know.
07:47I don't even see them making the playoffs, man.
07:48Maybe, maybe playing, maybe.
07:49All right, Jimmy.
07:50Appreciate the call.
07:51I saw that.
07:52He was down on what's going on.
07:53I don't, I don't.
07:54And, and slow-mo's going to definitely help, Stoney.
07:59He's savvy.
08:00He's long.
08:01He knows what he can do.
08:02We hit a, hit a three last night.
08:03I'm just, man, I, you feel how you feel, right?
08:06But I agree.
08:08Buddy Hill doesn't replace Clay Thompson, but you know who does?
08:13Podjemski, Milton and Hill.
08:16The three of those guys I think are going to be better than Clay Thompson at that position.
08:20Oh, and I must, no shade at Clay, because I don't want to blame last year for, on Clay
08:27Thompson.
08:28Right.
08:29There's plenty of blame to go around.
08:30And that, that's the other thing.
08:31And that, that, okay.
08:32So if you look at the Warriors last year, you had, let's just go, if you go through
08:36all their players, Curry, he was good, didn't have a great second half.
08:43Uh, Clay Thompson, let's put it, I don't think he was great.
08:49Clay Thompson, Wiggins, oh boy.
08:52I don't think he was great.
08:53Wiggins.
08:54He had a bad year.
08:55Draymond Green.
08:56Had a bad year because you missed 20, a quarter.
08:59Yeah, no doubt.
09:00You got suspended, man.
09:01So I think there's a lot of room for growth in the, in those four spots.
09:08That's just me.
09:09I am excited, man.
09:10You don't sound it.
09:11Quick question before we get back to the calls.
09:13If it does appear that they are better, why is the over-under total lower?
09:21What was it last year?
09:22Like 46-ish, 47?
09:23I don't want to say up there, man.
09:24It's a good question, Evan.
09:26I think part of it...
09:27Because they don't believe yet.
09:28Well, I think part of it might have to do with, you do have to allow for, I think Memphis
09:33is going to be better.
09:34Oh my God, I forgot about them.
09:35I think San Antonio is going to win more games than last year.
09:39Like that's the other thing.
09:41I get it.
09:42Everybody says the West is better and West is great, but that could play out in a way
09:47where 44 wins gets you the sixth seed.
09:51If a lot of those teams are bunched up in the middle.
09:548-8-8, 9-5-7, 9-5-7-0 is the number.
09:58Warriors, over-under win total, 43-and-a-half.
10:03I got the over.
10:04You're listening to 95.7 The Game, KGMZ FM and HD1 San Francisco, always live on the
10:09free Odyssey app, Twitch and YouTube, powered by First NorCal Credit Union.
10:16I get the sense a lot of Warrior fans like the starting lineup that they used last night.
10:23With Curry, Wiggins at two, Kuminga at three, Draymond Green at four, and Trace Jackson
10:31Davis at five.
10:32Well, let me just, I'm going to ask both you and Evan this question.
10:35Because I was about to fart off before I can read your mind.
10:38Do you think this is the lineup that they're going to start the season with?
10:41I don't.
10:42Oh, you don't?
10:43I'm hoping.
10:44I thought you were going to ask me who were the first two coming off the bench, if it
10:47were to.
10:48And that would have been Melton and Podds, would have been my first two coming off the
10:51bench.
10:52Do you think Wiggins is going to start at two?
10:55I want them two, I don't.
10:56Kuminga at three, Green at four.
10:57I want them two, I don't, Stoney.
11:00Something's eating at me to where Pajimski's going to be the one and Curry's going to slide
11:03over to the two.
11:04Evan, I think, has the no on that starting lineup.
11:08No.
11:09And I...
11:10Whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:11Hold on.
11:12I understand the no, but what I didn't like was that...
11:16Well, we were talking about this last night.
11:20I think that Steve Kerr threw them a bone, and I think he was hoping that they would
11:25prove him wrong.
11:27But through ten minutes of them playing alongside each other, Wiggins and Kuminga, I think Steve
11:34Kerr still looks at them like oil and water.
11:37And that just...
11:38Can I offer a rebuttal?
11:42You know, the key, J.K. and Wiggs running the floor, I mean, it puts a lot of pressure
11:46on teams.
11:47And so they set a good tone tonight, the way they just got downhill, you know, with or
11:54without the ball.
11:55They were, they were on.
11:56And so I really liked the way both those guys played and the impact that they can make with
12:01their athleticism and force.
12:04Wow.
12:05Evan.
12:06Yeah, he didn't mention shooting the basketball.
12:12I like that.
12:13That's my dream line.
12:14I'm hoping.
12:15But I just feel like I'm with Evan, like, I don't think that's which way he's going.
12:20Hope I'm wrong.
12:21And let's just say that what if it was the starter, if he did go with it, you know, it's
12:25not etched in stone.
12:27And after eight, five games, he changes it.
12:29How many different starting lineups did he use last year?
12:32And I know guys were hurting.
12:33A lot of things go into it, LeBron, but.
12:37Ask me who I want.
12:38Ask me who I think should start.
12:40Stiney start lineup.
12:41I don't care.
12:42Whoever wins the position.
12:44That's funny because I just saw a Bonte tweet last night.
12:47He was like, he, he pretty much doesn't care again.
12:50And he's probably not by himself.
12:51Who starts, Stiney?
12:52It's about who finishes.
12:53You know, Kaminga, six rebounds in 20 minutes last night.
12:59Why can't you do more than I just thought to myself, but go ahead.
13:04Wiggins no rebounds in 21 minutes.
