00:00I guess that's the one they picked this morning.
00:05I don't like it.
00:06Why not?
00:07Between him and Bonte telling me he gave you a 10-8 round yesterday in the one o'clock
00:12hour when you went on about Steph and possible slippage, like what do I do with that?
00:17You got off to a good start, dude, but I'm not going to let it affect me because it's
00:21payday.
00:22You said it was that close?
00:23I had me a 10-5.
00:24Oh boy.
00:25Now that's what the punch counter had.
00:28Stop.
00:29What's up, baby?
00:30Warriors Rockets tonight.
00:31No Steph, no Dre, and Wiggins has an entanglement.
00:37What is it, Evans?
00:38What is it, Evans?
00:39An impingement.
00:40What is that?
00:41You don't know?
00:42I had an impingement once.
00:43It's when my two discs were pressing against the nerve.
00:44Oh, then you're being serious.
00:45Yeah.
00:46I don't know if it works itself out.
00:47I don't know.
00:48I don't know.
00:49I don't know.
00:50I don't know.
00:51I don't know.
00:52I don't know.
00:53I don't know.
00:54I don't know.
00:55I don't know.
00:56I don't know.
00:57I don't know.
00:59I don't know.
01:00I don't know if it works itself out or not.
01:01Yeah.
01:02No Steph and no...
01:03How do you stop the streak without those two?
01:05What streak?
01:06The losing streak.
01:07What do you mean?
01:08They've beaten the Rockets 14 straight games.
01:09I'm talking about the last five games, partner.
01:12Oh.
01:13Oh.
01:14Oh.
01:15Nobody cares about my life.
01:16They beat the Rockets.
01:17Not really.
01:18They beat the Rockets without Steph earlier this season.
01:20They blew a 30-point lead in overtime.
01:22They held on to win in overtime.
01:23See, it's all about...
01:24I mean, he looked at the game like, Houston's younger, faster Steph, and I'll be in tomorrow
01:29when Guru brings his dad to his first game of chase.
01:32If Norm gets to the facility and Steph's not playing...
01:35What about it?
01:36They'll be water.
01:37Well, the most exciting player will still be playing.
01:40Anthony Edwards tomorrow.
01:41Wow.
01:42Like, that's the one your dad probably wants to see.
01:45No, it's Curry.
01:46I'm going to call you Rambo.
01:47Jack Rambo.
01:48Early.
01:49What we got?
01:50Well, you know, the Warriors is one thing we got.
01:55So they're 12-8, they've lost five in a row.
01:59The season is 25% over.
02:01I'm out.
02:03Wow.
02:04Why?
02:05Then that's what I'm going to get on Warrior Fit.
02:08You can't be out yet.
02:10Come on now.
02:11You can't be out yet.
02:13I gotta tell you something.
02:14If you're telling me the next 25 is going to consist in this season, I can make parallels
02:18with the Niners just in regard to the injuries or the constant nags that these athletes are
02:23going through that are serious.
02:25And Stoney, if you're telling me early on this is going to be part of the future, you
02:30know, Steph in and out, and Draymond, I know they're waiting on the MRI results or whatnot.
02:36That's what I don't like, that it's rearing its head this early.
02:39Yeah, I don't like it either, but if you didn't prepare for this, then that's really on you,
02:48isn't it?
02:49Not you, I mean the Warriors.
02:51If you didn't prepare.
02:53If you're going to still have Steph and Draymond on the team and be as integral as they are,
03:02you had to prepare for the fact that they both may miss.
03:07I don't know.
03:08What's the number you put on it?
03:09What would be a healthy year for Steph Curry, and what would be a trouble year for Steph
03:14Curry?
03:15I'm just saying, because you said Goo, so they play 20 games, he's missed four.
03:19If we do that out over 82, he would only miss 12, get what?
03:23Yeah.
03:2416.
03:2516.
03:26I'll take that all day.
03:27That would be about 65 games.
03:28Dude, let's go.
03:29Would you take that right?
03:30See, this is the thing.
03:31I would take it right into Texas second.
03:33I know you would.
03:34And you know why you would take it?
03:35It's because you're worried he's going to play less.
03:38And I get it, and that's, you know, I've been, Evan and I were batting around some stuff
03:45yesterday about, you know, what are the Warriors going to do?
03:47What are the Warriors going to do?
03:49And one of the things that I can't stop thinking about, it's less about what the Warriors are
03:56going to do.
03:58What's Steph thinking right now?
04:00Oh, man.
04:01What is Steph Curry thinking right now?
04:03That's a bar.
04:04Let's just talk about it.
04:05He's got two and a half more years left on his deal.
04:09They're 12-8.
04:11And let's just say they're headed toward another season where they win 42-44, 46-48.
04:20And last year that wasn't enough because you're in the Western Conference.
04:24It feels like that's not good enough.
04:27For example, the Warriors right now are six.
04:30Would you take it right now, right now, that they're the sixth seed at the end of the year?
04:36And that would mean no cockamamie play-in.
04:39I would take it.
04:40Is that enough, though?
04:41Not, not...
04:42Two things.
04:43Is it enough for the fans?
04:45And is it enough for Steph?
04:47Well, it's two-fold to me because now if he is going to be dealing with these issues,
04:52but you said, OK, I'm there 65 games, how mad can he really be about what's going on?
04:58Because I'm trying to...
04:59Like, I feel like he's closer to the summer Steph when he was in Vegas at the Summer League
05:05when he said, you know, basically, I'm paraphrasing.
05:08He's monitoring what's going on with this team.
05:10But if he can't help as much, how much does he take a step back, like, how mad can you
05:16be when your absence is a big part of us being hopefully six?
05:21I'd take six in a second after no playoffs.
05:24Yeah, I would too.
05:26I would too right now, but it's only because I'm starting to get worried about Steph and
05:32Draymond and this team.
05:34And the old, and we've kind of been in it the last couple of years, is how can you be
05:42a top four or five seed if those guys are going to miss a quarter of the season?
05:50You know what I mean?
05:52That's the scary part.
05:53I feel like we're seeing with them, it's going to be a bear.
05:58Now it's a gorilla.
06:00Exactly.
06:02So what do you do?
06:04You just keep playing it out.
06:06And now you've got your two stars, Draymond and Steph, both saying, you know, they're
06:11both banged up and they both use the term, we got to try to stay ahead of this.
06:16To me, when I hear we ought to try to stay ahead of this, it means that they're going
06:21to have to load manage over the course of the year.
06:24That would be the best case scenario without getting a big injury.
06:29But it sounds like that would only mean 60 to 65 games, even if they're relatively healthy
06:35for the whole year.
06:36And I don't feel like they're deep enough to salvage that without those two guys.
06:40I feel like they're deep enough, but they're not good enough without those guys.
06:45Well no, they'll still be able to put nine guys out there who are quality guys.
06:51How effective is that going to be?
06:53And they're 3-0 without Steph.
06:55That was early, right?
06:56I feel like they lost the game with him recently.
06:59I don't know, Stoney.
07:00I'm not trying to be negative, Nancy.
07:02If I'm Mike Dunleavy, I'm on the phone.
07:05Or I'm in the lab trying to concoct not an escape plan.
07:09This is no shaded who's on the roster.
07:11But Stoney, if you're really all in, you got to find some improvement.
07:17And right now, I just don't feel like that's on the squad right now, especially not even
07:22knowing Draymond's, what's going on with him moving forward.
07:26Yesterday, we were talking about Steph, and I said one of the things I wasn't crazy about
07:31was Mike Dunleavy saying, it's about Steph's window.
07:37And the thing I didn't like most about that was it felt like you announced to everybody
07:43kind of what you were doing.
07:46But the more I think about what the Warriors are trying to do, I don't know that it's ever
07:51been done before.
07:53And that is build around a 36-year-old guard.
07:57And I'm just going back over the greatest guards in NBA history.
08:02And whether it's Steve Nash or Isaiah Thomas or Allen Iverson, they just, at 36 years old,
08:14he's embarking on something that they were never asked to do, which was be the best player
08:19on their team at that age.
