00:00And how do we feel about Kuminga?
00:01Those first five minutes looked rough. He stinks.
00:04No, it
00:05He's fine. Yeah, but you saw why they didn't exercise that 200 milli or whatever. It's going to that ticket yet
00:12Call it like you see it dude as Shannon. I am. I'm just standing there something about
00:18His game what word am I looking for? I said on
00:21Like it's it's clunky right now if you know what I mean, it's it's it's not smooth
00:27So he's not smooth, but he's been in the lab and the lab
00:31All the season he's putting in work ig videos. He is clunky
00:37In the open court. He can't change direction very quickly. And i'm not this is not about him last night
00:43that
00:44But stony at some point you got so much athleticism. You got to be able to
00:49To turn into grace. You got to be able to turn that into non-clunkiness
00:53I don't know that you can learn that and that's no seriously, man
00:56I don't know if you can learn how to change direction more quickly under control and still
01:02Uh be strong with the form like hell man. I mean you can't
01:06I got you. I saw it. It's just in decision making he had four turnovers
01:11I was just like, uh, he wasn't only one but i'm how about this i'm rooting for him more so than any other dub
01:18I'm, they're all the same stubs. Now you're rooting for more than any other dub
01:22I thought you were wiggins. I'm rooting for wiggins. He showed up man. I'm all i'm rooting for kaminga all of them
01:29But kaminga is playing for the bag bag, and you know what?
01:33Don't take this the wrong way. So what?
01:36Who cares if he's playing for the bag? Well, he's playing for the golden state warriors and then the bag will take care of itself
01:43Let's care about a bag. Oh, he's playing for the bag
01:48How about playing for the love of the game?
01:50Win he's doing that
01:53And i'm not saying he's not but I don't care
01:56About how much money kaminga is going to make I don't care
01:59How much brock purdy is going to make win the damn game see that's where you don't get the license to become a dr
02:06Daryl or dr
02:07Feel because I do wonder being so young and kaminga knowing what time it is
02:12All the guys in his draft class got that check
02:15I just wonder stoddy if that's on his mind now, that's a cop-out. It's one i'm not
02:19And sure it is on his mind get over it. Yeah. Wow. It's what being a pro is all about
02:24Uh, eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seven zero is the number warriors. They're one and oh
02:31139 104 over portland up at the moda center and uh, it was
02:37Nice solid win to start the season. Nothing more. Nothing less
02:41doesn't mean they're going to go to the playoffs and
02:43Challenge for a title
02:45doesn't mean they're going to be
02:4830 and 52 they beat the portland trailblazers. They got utah tomorrow. Let's see how this season plays out. I love the uncertainty
02:55um, and the uh, and the
02:58And the ability that this team has to be better than a lot of people think
03:04You're listening to 95 7 the game kgmz fm and hd1 san francisco
03:09Always live on the free odyssey app twitch and youtube powered by first norcal credit union
03:14How about our guy slow most donnie just a pro
03:17Didn't light it up on the scoreboard play what uh, 15 minutes, but I he just knew what he was trying to do, man
03:23And I just i'm watching the game, but i'm picturing them playing better competition
03:28And i'm like man, I can see him closing out some games
03:31I can see him making contributions and you can look all down the roster and what you just described to me was the basketball version
03:38Of rubik's cube in regard to the mainstays are going to be draymond and stef and and wiggins
03:45But stonnie each and every night. I mean you got a chance to to see dudes in a warrior uniform that are different
03:52That are the difference in them getting a dub
03:54All right, he's been the subject of a lot of talk in the last two years
03:59andrew wiggins
04:01Uh played well last night scored some points
04:04He was asked after the game if he thinks
04:07Actually using a 12-man rotation can work man. I feel like this is a very deep team
04:13So it might work for real, you know
04:15I feel like we have a lot of a lot of good players that can come out and you know
04:19our point emphasis is to run, you know play fast and you play fast guys are gonna get tired and
04:25I feel like when the bench comes in, you know, we're not gonna miss a beat
04:28That's andrew wiggins. That's what happened last night. That was a 16 second sound bite of andrew wiggins
04:34Which i've done some research. That's the longest of his career
04:38That's the longest answer he's ever given. So he's obviously feeling pretty frisky. Uh, let's go to leroy. Leroy's in oakland
04:47What's up, leroy? How you doing, man?
04:50Hey, what's up stonnie? What's up goo? Hey, happy thursday, man
04:54Uh, you know big big big warrior fan as you guys know always say
04:59Uh me you stonnie and goo we got history man and i'll be
05:03Saying certain things and um at the beginning of the season. I was just like man with the moves that we're making
05:09Um, I like our bench. I think we're gonna have you know, one of the better benches in the league and um,
05:15You know, I was a little worried about our starting unit unit because I was like man
05:20we need to bring in somebody we need to bring in some help on that starting unit, but
05:25They looked well because of the bench and they looked well
05:29um because steve kerr
05:32Uh is looking like a genius when he said hey, basically I got 13 ballers, man
05:37I got guys that can ball so I can do what I could do last night
05:42And then last night it was proven. Is it going to be proven all the way throughout the season?
05:47Uh, we'll see and you know talking about kaminga when we came into the season
05:53I thought he was going to play the two
05:55I really did. I think he's better at the two alongside curry, but last night pop up and
06:02You know, he's playing the three so I actually think he's out of position
06:06But how can you uh argue with steve kerr with what he did? Uh, it worked last night and um,
06:14That bench is nice. And also you look at the fast break points man. Um, are we going to be a fast break team?
06:21I mean the athleticism was definitely there and uh, we actually ran them out the building with fast break points. So
06:29Um, I love that curry had the ball in his hand more
06:33I think he needs to play the point guard more than draymond now
06:38And I think his numbers are nice if curry can just you know some nights you're gonna need
06:4430 40 from curry, but he if he can be there
06:48And almost get a triple double because of the help that he has now
06:52Man, that helps an aging curry. You don't have to wear them down and that bodes
06:58Well, and one more thing guys in vegas
07:00They got a slated eighth the eighth seed to make the eighth seed and the way it's looking
07:05I think we'll be a little better than that. Yeah, because we want out the plan. Yeah
07:10Uh, thanks. Leroy. Appreciate the 31 to 5 fast break points warriors out. Uh got portland
07:15I want to get back to cominga for a second. Yeah, because
07:20Here's the way I look at it
07:21Okay, cominga is the one guy on the team that's playing for money
07:25This year he's in a contract year. I I feel like
07:29There's two different kinds of pressure. You can feel one is
07:34If he presses is he pressing?
07:37to me, that's one thing and that's
07:40How do you determine that though? Well, I think there's a difference between
07:43Pressing and
07:45being selfish and I don't see him being selfish if he presses because
07:52Uh, you know, he knows this is an important year for the contract. That's that's fine
07:57I mean you want a player that's gonna that's gonna stress out about that or it's gonna
08:02Or that knows what the stakes are and how important it is for him to have a good year. That's fine
08:07And and there may be some bumps in the road because he's feeling that but what you don't want to start seeing
08:13Is jonathan cominga being a little bit greedy and I have not seen that by the way
08:19And that will you know that to me is the difference but like this is this is the one thing
08:26that
08:27I I have no interest in getting bogged down in this year is
08:31Well is cominga making money or is he losing money or and is he worth 30 or is he worth 50?
08:36I'm, sorry. That's not that is so low on the priority list right now for the team
08:42It's about the team
08:44and
08:46You know cominga's gonna have a year and he's gonna get money or he's gonna get more money or he's gonna like get less money
08:51yeah, but he is
08:53that aspect of the warriors is
08:57Just not important not important and if it and if it could be pushed to the side
09:02I think the warriors will be better for it. Yeah, but
09:06It's not they're playing for wins
09:08That's all that matters. No doubt about it
09:10But the fallout and the reality situation is his contract situation and how important he's going to be
09:17I'm watching that game last night and it's one game and you tell me what you think
09:21I'm, just trying to put myself in his shoes
09:24With his skill set because something jarred when uh, leroy said he thought he'd play it, too
09:29I've never thought that but stony even when he gets the rebound
09:34I feel like he's being so unselfish
09:37But he's thinking like damn if I give this ball up and get it back when I get it back
09:42I might not be in my sweet zone. I need to be coming downhill. So if I could be selfish and keep this
09:49the you know the the chances of me making the bucket and going downhill and being
09:54What I know I can do is way greater than me using my my iq that ain't at a you know
10:01That's why I feel like coming downhill with a defender back
10:06Or is he coming downhill and has an angle where the defender can't get back?
10:11Well when he's coming down
10:14And a defender is back
10:16He's not good. Oh, man. He's not good. He'd be better off developing a pull-up 15 footer
10:23Rather than he cannot go to one yesterday doesn't change direction
10:27Well at all in the open and I don't get why again i'm not a pro because he doesn't have
10:33the ball handling skill
10:36What do you mean? Oh, no, i'm just like been watching it for four years the basketball walmart and get that
10:42You know what? I'm saying
10:44That that's that's why what did he say? I got the projectory to be a kawhi leonard
10:48He said that or or kobe they had that and i'm not saying you can't but study
10:54Okay, I can't be eight feet tall. That's what i'm not doing what?
10:57It's a new year. I'm not comparing kaminga to kobe bryant or kawhi leonard. He said he's not yeah
11:04He'll never be well
11:06I was just talking about that attribute that you talked about
11:09Which is what would being able to change directions because you can handle the ball. It's smooth right now
11:13It's do you know how long kobe worked on his game before he got to the league?
11:18Like coming is just not not as developed
11:22He's just not but it doesn't mean he's useless. Yeah
11:25Um eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seven zero is the number the golden state warriors
11:32They want to know uh, kobe. Let's get vince in here real quick from san bruno. Hey vince. What's going on, man?
11:41Hey, how are you doing? Good morning. Hey
11:45A couple a couple of questions for you gentlemen. Uh, the first one is
11:50What do you think the warriors can
11:52Rely and depend on kaminga for and the second question would be for each of you
11:58What matchup are you looking forward to this season? Have a great morning fellas. I appreciate you both
12:04I mean, I look I view kaminga as like a wild card on this team
12:08I I i'm not sure that you can go to him over the course of an 82 game season
12:13But I think he's a player who on certain nights. He's going to help you win games
12:18um, but
12:21If you look at
12:22Kaminga and wanting to get him 20 point. Let's say what he averaged last year 17 something like that
12:27Yeah, I mean I see him as a player
12:30That should get 15 to 18 points without even calling a play for him
12:35That's one of his strengths as far as i'm concerned and then get him that mid-range
12:40Get him into that little mid-range sweet spot in the at the foul line area
12:44Get him a couple dunks on fast breaks get him to the line five
12:48Six times a game and you look at the box score and it says jonathan kaminga 7 for 12
12:541 for 2 from 3 5 for 6 from the line 18 points 7 rebounds. That's what i'd want from jonathan kaminga
