00:00He appreciates the NBA field goal attempt more than your partner right now back to Stiney and Guru on
00:0795-7 the game. All righty Warriors
00:11They beat Milwaukee last night
00:13125-111 two in a row Wow, and now we're we're getting into
00:19who this team is and what this team is with Jimmy Butler and
00:24I like I'll tell you what. Why don't we do it this way? All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna name
00:28I'm gonna give you three
00:31national media members
00:32Who have comments on the Warriors? I like this already and you tell me who you want to hear first. All right, Jay Williams
00:40Brian Windhorst or
00:42Monica McNutt
00:44I'm gonna go Jay Williams. All right, Jay Williams
00:47How does Jay and you know what? I haven't he knows the game. I haven't heard a ball all three of them do but yeah
00:52I haven't heard any of these yet. So let's let's take a listen. This is an undersized team, and I love Jimmy
00:58I don't see anything really changing
01:00I know Steve Kerr said that he has the heart of a lion there was a line on the court and I get the thought
01:05Like on paper Jimmy Butler Steph Curry Draymond Green, but Jimmy's older right now
01:10And I still don't see it for this team. I his game is very different
01:15I know it gives him a dog
01:16But I still think they're extremely undersized and that's gonna be a problem for any team in the Western Conference
01:21And also I don't really care about initially I care about once we dig into the season more so for Jimmy Butler
01:28That's how I evaluate Jimmy Butler. He's always great at first. How is he on the back end?
01:32All right, Jay Williams. Not what I was expected. Good God
01:36Well, let's talk about the the size of this team because I started small last night again, and they got smaller with the trade
01:44Now they got a little bit bigger cuz post is playing. Yes, sir, but
01:49Outside of post. Okay, the great Rich Mitchman paying $2 trade coming. He's got money. Thank you. Appreciate it
01:56That's a super chat that we have to read we're contractually obligated
02:00I'm Steph Curry
02:02Don't interrupt me, but
02:04What are the proceeds go? But anyway, yeah, so, you know, they're there
02:09They still do have a size issue and they're gonna always had one right even in their heyday
02:16well, but
02:17Well, I mean
02:19I'm talking about more like the last couple years
02:21I feel like they have paid the price the last couple years for not having a lot of size
02:27Yeah, as far as the glory years, I mean, I think we've kind of been over
02:32You know, we've talked about it. They they weren't huge but they were big they were big in every position
02:38Outside center. Yeah, so they had you know, Draymond Green plays bigger Durant played bigger. So
02:45You know that that was a little different the way they did it there, but one thing go ahead. Yeah. No, that's it
02:51I was just gonna say
02:53You know, how concerned are you about that? But the lawyer Stiney I get Jay Williams
02:59I'm shocked and I get it. He's like man, wake me up when you guys do something, but good God
03:04I don't know what that is. But you know, I do know what it is. It was his opinion
03:09But Stiney last year the Warriors missed the playoffs and oh, they're small, but they led the league in rebounding
03:14So I'm just saying last night another example 48 rebounds to 33 37 for Milwaukee
03:21You got loon whenever you need them. You got post. I I'm not saying it's perfect
03:27But I think they've kind of mastered what they're trying to do. And now I know
03:33Butler is not at the size of Kevin Durant
03:35But if you're gonna tell me we got a fixture in the post that I could throw the ball to and have three defenders
03:41Merging on him at one time like I saw last night
03:44Milwaukee doing so far so good. I would say I haven't watched them get taken advantage of yet
03:51You know, they haven't gone up two games. I got it. They haven't gone up against the big man. Yeah, who?
03:57Likes to do damage on the interior Lopez is not that good God
04:04Don't get me started. I had a great career
04:07eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seven zero is the number
04:14What do you think about the size issue for the Golden State Warriors? Is that still something that you're concerned about?
04:20I you know, I need to see more post
04:23Need to see how he rebounds
04:25need to see how he you know, he's he's he's tougher than you think and
04:30He ain't scared either. I got it. You know, their teams are attacking him
04:34They're gonna go right at post and they have been and I almost think maybe that's one reason
04:40He didn't start post last night is because if you start post, you know
04:45everybody's just gonna kind of go at him at the beginning of the game, but
04:48You know, he's a seven-footer and he can shoot the ball and the last two games, you know
04:53He shoots it like he did the last two games. They got action. Yes, Donny. And what about 16 steals?
04:58I mean, they're forced Milwaukee into 20 turnovers
05:00But just think about that 16 steals and I'm not saying the Warriors weren't nasty when they got off to the 12 and 3 start
05:08But Jimmy Butler, you know, he's talking about he's not in it, you know tip-top shape
05:12I get it. But at the bottom the bottom line is I feel like it starts with him
05:17He's that anchor along with Draymond Barkin and I feel like he's coming from a place of passion
05:23It's Donny that nastiness arguing with the ref, but right now I love what I see in 16 steals
05:29I mean, man, they're active. Did you uh, do you have the YouTube chat up? No
05:36Yeah, I
05:39The great Rich Mitchman again paying money for a super chat, we got to be careful
05:43No, if you pay we got to read it is Dre worth 25 million, maybe I may trade him and Kaminga
05:50Okay, the trading deadlines over. Yeah, so they're not going to be making any any trades anytime soon
05:56The issue is the buyout market if they might pick somebody up or not
06:01But rich Mitchman, you're killing us. Yeah
06:05and your wallet
06:07Well, it's only paying two bucks. Yeah, like a
06:10Minimum minimum threshold
06:13Floor, I like it as a salary floor. Yeah, it should be 50. It should be
06:18Yeah, it should be like $10 and guru and I split it along with you
06:22Yeah, three bucks a piece and give the company a buck. I think that would that would be let me throw this to you
06:28Real quick you and Evan
06:30can you tell that Steph has about pep in the step and I don't want to just make it about Steph, but I do because
06:37The shows the past shows where I've I've told you guys and I've been I was on a bended knee like I'm worried
06:44Can't you tell there's something to this team like they've been re-energized and it's like firing a coach, right?
06:49Yeah, Jay Williams is talking about it like it could subside it could but Stani right now
06:54I feel like I don't even want the break to come
06:58No, I'm serious it's coming regardless
07:02regardless
07:04Now they look they the two games with Jimmy Butler
07:08They couldn't really ask for him to look any better. They couldn't have
07:13Asked to two games into his tenure look like he's been there a while
07:18Here's one thing and I I told Evan I said watch
07:23Guru's not guru's not gonna like this. I'm in a good mood man. No, no, it's that
07:28but I
07:30have I have a theory and
07:32You you tell me if you think it's the case and then warrior fans you can call in and tell me
07:39So versus the the Bulls on
07:42on Saturday
07:44Steve Kerr started curry healed
07:48Butler green post
07:51Against Milwaukee started curry healed
07:54Butler moody green so he had moody in the starting lineup and I'm starting to think
08:02I don't think he's gonna settle on a starting lineup. I
08:06Really don't I think he's gonna I think he's gonna
08:10Maybe switch around and like some nights he might start and I don't I got a I got to try to look harder and see
08:16what he sees but
08:18You know, he started Gary Payton earlier this year at a point and I think I don't know
08:24he sees something going into a game and
08:27I think
08:29we might have a squad that
08:32He kind of tinkers with even from the start of games
08:34And what if I are you gonna be shocked if I tell you normally I told you I like a set lineup on set start
08:39And five right but Stony now that Butler is here if you're telling me it's just about the other two now
08:46But it's green Butler and Steph Curry
08:48What if I told you that's a byproduct of those three holding it down and it's almost a compliment to the rest of the roster
08:55In a sense that he can trust Moses moody on a given night to play 33 minutes
09:00It could be Gary Payton a second. So I don't know if this is going to continue
09:05but I didn't watch that game last night like what's moody doing in there and
09:10Buddy healed. I mean my goodness if you talk about a coach having a players back and not giving up on you
09:16Steve Kerr has done that for you through your trip trials and tribulations, but the bottom line is I know it's about spacing
09:22What if I told you in a crazy way Stony? I'm not mad at that if that were to continue
09:28How many starting lineups do you know
09:31Why do I feel like I know it's like 30 if I knew Evan and read it I would tell you I didn't I'm gonna say
09:3724
09:3932
09:40Last night was number 32 like that's the idea of him not having a set starting lineup is not just a last-night thing
09:46It's been the whole year. Yeah, but what I'm saying is they're gonna have everybody healthy when Kaminga comes
09:53Still think it's he's gonna do it the way he's been doing it all year. You think yeah
09:57I'm what I'm saying. I think he did it. He's done it early
10:00I think a lot of times because of necessity because they have had some guys in and out
10:04They do have to load manage a little bit now pods didn't shoot it
10:08Well for second straight eyes isn't gonna start on this do you think so? No, okay. That's where I was thinking
10:13I need that's the thing they need
10:15He
10:16He likes healed in that starting lineup because at least he gives you another shooter to start the game at 16 last night
10:23I'm 8 8 9 5 7 9 5 7 0 is the number. Let's go out to
10:29Caleb in Livermore. Hey Caleb. How you doing?
10:33What's going on fellas? Hey
10:37Hi, hey dynamite, what do you got?
10:40Ha ha yeah, so I talked about a little bit of the starting lineup because I want to talk about Jimmy Butler
10:45I think the starting lineup should go step
10:49Jimmy Butler coming to Graham on and post. I just think when coming in comes back
10:54Look, Jimmy Butler is great. But at his age
10:57I don't think we can trust him to be on the best defender for 48 minutes like they need coming in his you
11:04His athleticism. I think he's the guy now, especially with Wiggins God
11:08Yeah, he's the guy I believe is capable of guarding the better
11:12Wings in the league, but just to talk a little bit about Jimmy Butler in the fit
11:16yeah, I'm curry quoted saying after the game every possession doesn't feel as hard and
11:22There's no doubt with him here on the team. Now. He's another ball handler. He's a creator and
11:28Even we like these last few games like curry hasn't been triple team from like half-court. So
11:33Like he just gives another scoring option
11:36And he's closed the game down and that's what the Warriors have been missing a guy who could just change the pace of the game
11:42Man, I mean to me. He's a he's a little like Durant, you know, the Warriors used to just throw Durant the ball
11:49when they when they bogged down a little bit offensively and
11:53Particularly late in games if you remember those teams that won titles, you know
11:58If things got tight the last three to five minutes, they went to Durant. That's a luxury
12:02I mean they went to Durant and now you can go to Jimmy Butler
12:06I am I am interested to see a little more him defensively
12:12To see how how long he can guard maybe the best player on another team. Can he do it for a
12:19Whole game. I don't know. Can he do it for 20 minutes?
12:23I don't know, but he was a hell of a defender in his prime. And so that's another thing
12:28I'm gonna be kind of checking out because you know, that's the one thing we liked Wiggins
12:33He was pretty solid defensively. He was game in and game out and I get the sense Butler
12:41You know still still defends but maybe at 35 just not quite as well as as he did
12:48Let's say 10 years ago, right and last night as a whole against Donnie 31 points off of turnovers
12:54Milwaukee had to just think about that and I know you can't go into every game each night thinking you're going to win that battle
13:01by that big but that would they were there they're active small yet, but getting after it and
13:07I like what I see but the Durant reference
13:10I told you yesterday when I came in not he plays Durant type of basketball
13:14But the impact and for Steph Curry to say into the microphone after the game
13:19This one will stick with me for a while Stoney every possession doesn't feel as hard and
13:26Now you're scoring 135
13:29125 127 so again, I know it's Milwaukee and and
13:33Who was it the first game the Bulls?
13:35But man, if you're telling me I'm taking a test and the and it's the easier at testing before I'm feeling good, man
13:43I really am. Yeah, the one thing I'm thinking about here is
13:47So if you go back to last year and maybe this doesn't matter
13:50Well, it actually might not matter because the result is the result
13:54But I do wonder if warrior fans think about this at all
13:57So last year, we know about Paul George and Lowry marketing the Warriors. We're trying to get both those guys
14:04they they didn't get it we heard they were very interested in Levine and
14:10There's stories out there that that might have been the guy Curry preferred
14:14So they went after Levine then they went after Durant they finally got around to Butler and
14:21Hmm, I guess my question is how do you view Jimmy Butler?
14:26Was he just the next guy in line and he's happened to fit this well
14:30I mean, it's hard to imagine any of the other four players
14:34Actually fitting much better than the way Jimmy's look the first two games
14:38So I'm wondering kind of what their thought process
14:43Has been over the course of the of the last year and why they ended up landed on Jimmy Butler
14:49who
14:51You know just just happened to be the next guy up in line
14:54Well, I'll say this to that and I love the question starting
14:58I'm going to give them credit the Warriors brass because they knew they needed something
15:03They knew they needed something to go with what they had
15:07Currently that came off the season that culminated with no playoffs
15:11So although it was Paul George
15:14They went knocking marketing and and didn't Durant and Levine
15:18Life has a crazy way of working out and you end up with Jimmy Butler. I'm not saying that's
15:25You know, his name was number one, but the bottom line is they identified the need they got it
15:32You know things happened things fell in their place and now right right now through eight quarters
15:38It's been a godsend just his style too. So I want to give them credit for knowing
15:44Hey
15:44we need to do something here a lot of people might not agree the
15:48PG and marketing don't fit and now you end up with Jimmy Butler and Chris a on the YouTube chat keep saying
15:54Goo, and you had just did it before why you keep bringing up KD. They're two different players
15:59Yes, I'm not bringing up the compare contrast
16:02I'm bringing up that Steph needed a breather that offense needed another outlet of a guy
16:08That kind of master what he's going to do on the court and that's Butler
16:14Offensively, and that's why Chris a Steph said, you know, it just seems a bit easier now every possession on offense
16:21I hope that ain't a cop-out study. I really believe they knew they needed something like this, but the player
16:27Yeah, some things changed but they knew they needed something and now they got it, I mean I get it's just two games but
16:35How would Kevin Durant look better?
16:38than Jimmy Butler's looked
16:41And I know they're different players and I think most people think Durant's a better player than Jimmy Butler
16:46but there's something about Jimmy Butler man, and I feel like his I
16:53Feel like if Durant came back here, he would just kind of be a player
16:59You know, he wouldn't he wouldn't be that
17:02He wouldn't be doing what Butler's doing. Mm-hmm, and you know, that's just that's just me
17:08But I think I think you know
17:09If you look at the first two games and they're probably gonna have some issues down the line
17:13I don't know what they're gonna be but you know the first two games I don't
17:17You know, I'm thinking God
17:20How lucky can you be?
17:22they dodged four bullets as far as I'm concerned and
17:26I guess Durant's not really dodging a bullet, but I
17:30mean
17:31Jimmy Butler at his best or Paul George at his best. Yeah, I'm taking Jimmy Butler
17:36So it looks like the Warriors may have you know
17:40stumbled on to something
17:42Would that be fair to say or is that is that now is that an insult and I wonder if qp3
17:47Quentin Post was right here Stani again
17:49I don't want to just be some time because he had a good game last night and hit some shots and has shown us
17:54He's not scared to exhibit
17:56Emotion. I loved all that. I I do wonder and they kind of talked about it on the telecast Donny
18:02I believe it was Kareth and Dalton Johnson. I was watching the
18:05Dubs talk and they were just talking about how Jimmy lights a candle it is at his locker the music
18:11He'll play to kind of the Zen I guess to get ready for a game
18:15And I'm just wondering if that's what's energized Draymond and I don't say no just how he how he goes about his business
18:23But I'm wondering if what you see from Draymond is his way of in a crazy ways down there
18:29I know I'm going down the ranch here doing here of euphoria of having Butler, but it looks like anger
18:35You know here towards the refs the stuff you said, you know, it seems like he might be angry
18:40I'm thinking he's basketball happy Draymond is and he just kind of he's happy funnel
18:46It looks like he wants to punch a referee, but he always but he's happy. He's always looked that way
18:51So I'm just wondering the Jimmy Butler effect
18:54That's all and I'm not saying that's why Quinn post is answering the bill, but Stiney boy. Oh boy, man
19:00You keep that he had 15 minutes last night. You think if that thing were to grow he knows what he wants to do
19:06He can pass and and I like and he can shoot
19:11415 I know you guys have a show to do
19:13Oh, but they beat the hapless Bulls and Milwaukee without arguably the best player in the league slow your roll. I
19:21Think we are I didn't say the final tickets. I'm still nervous about like Stiney. This is par for the course
19:29You got to be 2-0
19:31You got to go you're 21 and 10 the other day that you're brought up
19:35Yeah, you're out so you were outside the box this is nobody's overlooking the beast that it's going to take to get in
19:43That's my fear is once I once we get in if we qualified for the seven game series
19:49I text Bonte last night. He sounded like you slow your roll
19:53I'm paraphrasing on you you might not want to see this team in a month
19:57But they got to earn that and I know it's two teams
20:01You know one without their best player, but I love the Houston game, and I don't think Dallas is gonna be easy. Yeah
20:09even without the other thing that
20:12When you watch this team play, I mean they got us to healthy
20:16I mean they they're older guys. They have to figure out a way to keep them on the floor
20:2434 minutes for your boy last night the chef and you know 38 said the game before Steph's minutes are
20:30Probably as a season high right now
20:34He has been playing more in the last few weeks
20:37That's for sure so
20:40We'll see we'll see about
20:42the big three
20:44Draymond green Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry those guys got to stay healthy. There's no doubt about here's the other thing
20:49Where's your turn in the ball over less since Jimmy Butler arrived, and that's like he doesn't really
20:56Turn it over you know the teams that don't turn it over tend to be teams
21:01With a cut with kind of a ball dominant player now
21:04I'm not saying Butler's ball dominant, but but he does have the ball in his hands a fair amount
21:08But he doesn't turn it over a lot and so
21:12The you know if you can take the ball out of Curry's hands a little more and put it into Butler's hands
21:18It's gonna be a little bit safer with with Jimmy Butler
