00:00Warriors right now, they don't know what they're gonna do late in the game. They have no idea and Steiner
00:04You know what?
00:05It is you Spadoni and Evan and I come in and we talk about the game that just happened last night about last night Rob
00:11Lowe, but I would be okay with what you just said about Denver, but I still got Phoenix on my mind
00:17I still got Brooklyn at home where you miss 14
00:21Like you may it's a make or miss league Raymond Ritter, right? Like I don't know if they have them. That's I
00:28I'm still wondering how many I know 30 is that but Wiggins is sometimes and
00:35Kaminga is some tiny but now I feel like you know
00:38What's Donnie if it is the end result of or losing more games because he's getting exposed or he's out there more
00:43But man, what about how do we find out if he's growing or not?
00:46Not having them a part of it and and that's why I say can you tweak the offense to where instead of he's out there?
00:53Thinking in money time we can kind of put him Wiggins incur something to where it's kind of not selfish basketball
01:00but I so let's go away from the
01:03Traditional because we we got to give it to the guys that we know more times than not can create a shot
01:09That's what we're talking about. Not making them as part of it, but it's creating them
01:14How many Chris shot creators does this team have well to me they've curry
01:20Although it's getting tougher for him. They got Wiggins
01:23Who can create his own shot three or seven? I mean anyone may disagree with me
01:27I don't think coming is a great shot creator. Well, I'm not saying great. He can do it
01:32Yeah, I I don't know. I mean the the idea of and
01:37And I heard you're right night and you were gonna bring this up
01:40I think I heard Chris Mullen talking about it on the postgame show, you know
01:44Maybe in the last four or five minutes, they got to go to more sets
01:47Okay
01:48Well, no, that's but but then you're still at a disadvantage because
01:54You you don't have creators really other than Steph Curry. I
01:59Listen, if you think you can put the ball in coming his hands and say go make a play. I'm sorry
02:05I'm sorry, but that's the stage of his evolution
02:09Okay, and if you're in a warrior uniform or not, and I guess Donnie the fact I'm over
02:14I'm passionate because you're losing these games
02:17What the hell do you have to lose then well, you're 12 in a you started 10 and 2 you did
02:23Good start and I know it was a short sample size
02:26But reality kicked in and the Warriors squandered leads
02:30I could I almost would feel better if Denver just knocked him out and said, you know what?
02:35You're not on our level
02:36But when you're up and you're playing so well or good enough to watch it just evaporate leads a bad taste now
02:44Denver they've won a chip, but Brooklyn
02:48Phoenix I know Phoenix is on don't you know what I'm saying? But it's just like they're shooting theirself in the foot
02:54I mean, I just look at that game last night and in the last five or six minutes
02:59They're putting a championship type lineup out there
03:04Especially now they got Aaron Gordon back and the Warriors are putting out one of the greatest players of all time
03:10It's Steph Curry. Yes, and who else Andrew Wiggins didn't take a shot in the fourth quarter. Why where are you?
03:17Who we is?
03:19Like that's who Wiggins is
03:21You don't quite know what you're gonna get and then you have you know
03:25You're gonna play a couple young guys in the fourth quarter like cominga like Moody
03:29Who was real quick starting Moody was I'm just curl. I'm not second-guessing you you made a sub where Moody was somewhat hot
03:37I'll say hot and then you bring buddy in like
03:41Bring buddy in but did it have to be for a guy that was cooking?
03:44So Moody played late into the third late in the third quarter and most of the fourth quarter and with about nine minutes left in
03:51The fourth quarter. I'm like, I don't think he can play Moody the rest of the game because he give it to Denver
03:58And it's altitude and he
04:01He's gotta finish playing like 16 straight minutes
04:05Moody doesn't play a lot
04:06So I think he tried to give Moody arrest which he did and then that's what he'll do is on the floor and he'll miss
04:12That shot that would have been a big bucket that would have put him up 10 and then he ended up coming back to Moody
04:17But again is as you know
04:20Here's where I'm different. Hey, hi, Stiney. How was Moody last night? It's fine. I think he was great
04:26I don't even I didn't even look at the night
04:29Okay, what was he see four four ten two four six, but it's the bit I'm what are we doing glasses on
04:35He showed you he can play
04:37I'm not saying that an all-star level. He can play playing doesn't necessarily translate to winning and
04:44if this team thinks that they can win then I think they've got to go about it a certain way and
04:50If winning becomes let's say less important. Oh, then we don't want that. Well because then you're caught
04:57Then then then who do you play late in the game?
05:00the other thing is this is this is where I do take a little bit of a step back and I say
05:07You actually played great for 44 minutes. You did man. You didn't have Draymond green and oh, by the way
05:13Jokic has 38 and
05:1510 38 points on 14 for 24. That's Wow. Okay, and you're playing without Draymond
05:21So again, I I think they're I think we're being a little unrealistic
05:28Now could they've won that game? Of course, they could have won that game last night
05:31But it's not gonna be easy at Denver against that team
05:36With the players that you have on the floor right now for this team
05:40And you know what the cold part is because all we're worried about really right is the Warriors and I get it
05:45But Denver had lost two in a row at home
05:48And I guess I'm just bringing that up like the a kid they can be had early on and it happened
05:54but the Warriors just
05:56Right. Now the biggest concern is down the stretch money time in the fourth quarter
06:01Stony some there's a disconnect and it is getting worse by the game
06:06And that's why I think Kerr took it out on pods
06:09but I was like damn Kerr you might could have added a few other names on that list if you wanted to and
06:15GP to God bless him study
06:17I the when he hit that three early and I was like is that a good or bad thing because he had a chance at
06:23One and it it was off, you know
06:26So as it left his hands and any and he gave you everything he had but I'm just like this is the danger in playing
06:33musical chairs or a deep rotation
06:36Because when you lose said games five in a row, you're always to me now Stony and help me
06:42I'm always second-guessing like what if this guy would have but when you got five to seven, you know
06:49Who you are and it's not going to change regardless of the outcome
06:52It's got to be condensed, okay, who are their top seven?
06:57Kaminga, okay curry Draymond Wiggins, right? Mine's good. Let's okay
07:05TJD and buddy healed and my and moody
07:12Though there's no guarantee. Okay, so that that leaves off Kyle Anderson and that leaves out Peyton
07:19I mean, I get it like
07:22Gary Peyton
07:24He might have been their best player on the floor last night. I mean, he was a plus 18
07:30But I get it. I'm not crazy about Peyton either
07:35But I said if you're gonna try to play 11 guys or 10 or 11
07:40Then when they start losing we're gonna do this all the time and I'm not but the reality is they don't have players good enough
07:48who you just
07:50Play in crunch time because of what they've done over their careers like
07:56Curry's gonna play in crunch time Wiggins is probably gonna play in crunch time
08:01Why well because they've got a history at least of being in this league for a while and having some success
08:07He can create his own shot
08:09Okay
08:09All right
08:09Now you want to go with Kaminga and pods and moody and trace Jackson that why do you think he goes with Looney?
08:15Down the stretch instead of trace Jackson Dave no because of experience no doubt so I'm I just
08:22So the the playing 11 does forget the Warriors for a second Stiney any basketball team is telling Matt Steinmetz
08:28We're playing 11 or 12 deep. Does that automatically signal to you? You you don't got enough
08:34You're not you're not good enough at the top
08:36It's signal know it signals to me that your third or fourth best player on the team is
08:42Not very much better than the 11th man on the team, that's what it tells me now
08:48you can try to use that to the your advantage, which is what the Warriors have been trying to do by playing a lot of guys and
08:55seeing if
08:57You know if you're gonna play 11 chances are a few guys are gonna be playing well
09:01But yeah, I mean I'm gonna be honest and I'll ask warrior fans this too
09:05You're in a close game with five minutes to go. I don't know who you need
09:08Oh, I don't know who you want on the floor. That's scary. No idea
09:12Not a good thing, and I don't think I think you're starting to get up to catch up to coach Kerr
09:17I love the passion but man Stiney moving forward something's got to give I mean look you you kind of have two choices and
09:26Let's watch just for the sake of it. I'll throw
09:28Drain, but Draymond's gonna be in if it's a close game curry Draymond green Wiggins, okay?
09:35They're gonna be in but now it's crunch time, so do you go with?
09:40Looney who's a veteran type player Peyton who's a veteran type player or?
09:46maybe
09:48Yeah, one of those two guys, or do you go with one of the young guys?
09:53Pudzemski cominga moody or trace Jackson Davis
09:57But I think Steve Kerr looks at it as though
10:01You know we're still competing it's early in the season I got to go with the guys that I've always
10:09believed in and that's either his shortcoming or strength depending on what what you think about him and the topic today and
10:16On Twitter last night social media Stiney was pods because you know the coach
10:20You know he told him how he felt about his play
10:24But the bottom line is pods didn't play the last five minutes of that game
10:28And I believe what I saw from pods that was the reason or he was a part you tell me if I'm doing too much
10:35He was a part of why you had a lead so
10:38Again, I think they got bigger fish to fry than just pods and curse giving it to him like like he feels like he should
10:46But I I'm not looking at you or talking to Evan right now saying
10:50They lost that game last night because of pods
10:53No
10:54They didn't that game because they can't get buckets in
10:56Crunch time and if you want to go from six minutes in the fourth four minutes like I still again
11:02I'm Looney Tunes shout-out Kavon. I can't shake the Brooklyn game. They are breaking in crunch time
11:09Why do you think but Steve Kerr essentially said it last night?
11:13The reason pods didn't play in the last five minutes of the games because he's not smart enough
11:18He doesn't play smart and the idea that pods is a really smart player
11:23I've always been like he's not really a smart player
11:26He's very instinctive and he makes some really good plays in terms of anticipation
11:31But his decision-making is not good and Kerr said, you know
11:36Kerr obviously saw stuff last night where he's like
11:38I'm not gonna play pods in the last five minutes because he's gonna turn the ball over or he's gonna you know
11:44He's gonna make the non
11:47Right decision Kerr kept saying I we need to hit singles and we're trying to hit grand slams
11:51And I was telling pops last night what you said about and I'm being truthful Stoney
11:57What you said about Melton and you were right in regard to how much he had played but Stoney
12:03You got a double back now and say yeah, he's just one guy, but he was the bridge
12:08Everything that is a part of his game is what they needed and and last night was just another example
12:15And I know you're like goo you got to move on but now I think that changes things in regard to Mike Dunleavy
12:21assessing this team and Kerr like
12:24Especially when the guy that takes over that spot is pods and you're saying he's making bad decisions. So I
12:31Say all that to say is I don't know what they have the answer on the roster now
12:35I mean, I just think if we're gonna talk about the Anthony Melton, I just think it's it's I
12:42Don't know what the word not unfair. Yeah, but and you I'm not saying oh, no, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter
12:48It doesn't matter. It's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is here's a guy who's never a warrior
12:53Who's always been injury prone then played six games and now he's gonna miss the entire season. It's like
13:00Are we really? Okay. Yeah, they miss him. But are we really gonna say well Melton's the difference?
13:07between this team
13:09Right. Well exactly
