00:00Did you guys see yesterday?
00:02Did you guys happen to see on social media?
00:07Cause it was interesting enough.
00:08We were talking about these two when I referred to Leroy's blissfully ignorant
00:12Goran Dragic is up to something and it appears that he is, I guess, I guess
00:20he's also getting into podcasting.
00:22I don't know, but there's a photo that he posted on his Instagram.
00:28Of him sitting down at a microphone with Nicola.
00:35Yo, wow.
00:38I don't know what to make of it.
00:39I don't know what to make of it.
00:41I don't know if this is his thing or what, but young, but
00:49I'd say sits down with OG.
00:50Brought that something's happening there.
00:54Very interesting.
00:56But those are from opposing clans.
01:00Aren't they?
01:00Isn't this Slovenia works like that?
01:02I don't think that's how that works.
01:03I mean, they, they play each other in basketball, but there's a lot of
01:06similarities, Ken, Ken, these are two different, this is not street fighter.
01:20But speaking of street fighter, you don't, it's Haslam.
01:23Oh, you guys has it was on NBA today.
01:27Yesterday.
01:29He had something to say about the Jimmy Butler, a honeymoon phase in gold.
01:34Say that mind you, this was before gold.
01:35They did win last night over the boxes.
01:37It was fresh off their loss to the, uh, Joker list Murray lists nuggets, even
01:43though Jimmy did have a good game there too, but that's just not as good
01:45as Aaron Gordon always gives us.
01:47Um, but here was you, Donna's has them.
01:51Who's skeptical that the warriors are going to be able to keep this up, but
01:57I'm going to go with golden state here.
01:59Obviously playoff.
02:00Jimmy is a thing because we've seen him before, but more than anything else,
02:04Steph Curry last night, Steve Kerr talked about how tired he is.
02:08They've got to get him some rest, got to get his battery recharged, but he's
02:11still playing at the peak of his powers.
02:14Him and Draymond green four time champions.
02:16I just think they have the talent and the pedigree to be the
02:20biggest threat to Oklahoma.
02:22I got to argue with you on that one.
02:23And this is no Jimmy hate, but I will say that the record has been a little
02:28bit favorable to go to the state.
02:29Right now.
02:29I'm looking at the record of teams that they played in.
02:31We're talking about 312 wins to 364 losses.
02:35I would argue that some of these teams, they probably
02:37could have beat without Jimmy.
02:38Now, Jimmy has given them a boost.
02:40It's like a shot of whiskey right now, but we'll see if
02:42it lasts throughout the playoffs.
02:44All right, there you go.
02:45You Donna's has, I mean, I mentioned that yesterday.
02:49He's right.
02:50He's right.
02:50They only, I mean, here's what I would say that Jimmy fits with golden state
03:04because anything that he does is a bonus.
03:10They haven't yet gotten into the position where anybody has made a
03:14demand on Jimmy to be the guy except last night.
03:20I mean, yeah.
03:21I mean, to some extent, where do you end up with?
03:24Uh, he nearly had a triple double.
03:25I think he had like 24, eight and 10.
03:30What's I mean, okay.
03:34But again, see the difference between Jimmy and Steph is that Steph has to
03:45do numbers like that every night because Jimmy plays with Steph.
03:50He doesn't have to, when he was with the heat, they needed him to do that every
03:55night.
03:56No, but I think the question is, okay, we, we understand that.
04:00I mean, that's not going to change.
04:01He obviously is going to have Steph Curry.
04:03And the whole point of like Steph Curry being exhausted that Steve
04:05Kerr put out there didn't play him.
04:08Is, is this magical Jimmy Butler run legitimate?
04:14Is it legitimate?
04:15How legitimate is it?
04:16If Steph Curry is exhausted, how much of the, how much of the burden is he
04:21actually, you know, relieving Steph from if Steph is still exhausted?
04:29I don't know.
04:30I would figure, I would figure this, that if you bring another star, then you don't
04:34have to play, you don't have to play Curry 35 minutes.
04:38You can give him some more breaks.
04:40Cause you got somebody to hold it down.
04:43Which he did.
04:44But, and I think that's the thing though, is like, he did have kind of his moment
04:47last night to show them that he could, and he did, and you know, it's against
04:52the team that he's familiar with.
04:53It's a good, it's a good team.
04:54I mean, like Milwaukee is not okay.
04:57See, but they're, they're no slouch either.
04:59I mean, they're, they're a healthy amount over 500.
05:03Yeah.
05:03I mean, I guess my record there, you know, golden States better.
05:06Now they haven't been right.
05:09I'm just, you know, I don't know if there's going to be a time when it gets
05:17down to crunch time that you're ever going to be able to take some of that
05:23burden off of Steph, their test is like, if you're going to believe in them, it's
05:27still not going to come until probably the beginning of April, then who even
05:29knows, cause there are a lot of guys starting to maintenance program, their
05:32stars, but their next four are, or the next five Toronto, Atlanta, Miami,
05:38new Orleans, San Antonio, which, right.
05:41I mean, that can be like a Swiss, uh, you know, a knife through butter with
05:45that, with that run of teams that the way they're especially the way Miami's
05:48playing, but that's, that's what their schedule has been for the last month.
05:52It has been, it has been, which is why UD is skeptical.
05:55But I would say that if you were skeptical, like last night was a
05:58pretty, a pretty strong response by Jimmy.
06:03What?
06:04Well, because yeah, you can do it every now and then.
06:08The, which is always going to have to do with, uh, with Steph being
06:11that, and see, that's, that's the question I have is that if Steph is
06:18tired now, are you going to need more of that from Jimmy to spell Steph
06:26during stretches of, of the game?
06:29And if you do, is he going to be able to do that on, you know, a lot, you
06:37know, in order to keep Steph fresh for when it's crunch time that that's, I
06:43think that's the question that UD has is that they play one good, they
06:48played a couple of good teams.
06:51Um, Jimmy balled out last night because Steph wasn't there, but if the whole
06:57point of having another star was to spell or give your number one a break.
07:05And Steph is exhausted anyway.
07:08Yeah.
07:08But like is the exhaustive thing, a convenient thing that they just threw
07:12out there because they lost and then they had a back-to-back like, is he
07:15really exhausted?
07:16Cause his numbers have gone up with Jimmy Butler there.
07:19Yes.
07:19Damn.
07:20You know, like is that to me is like almost one of these things where like
07:23everybody, like they got a little credibility because they had a 15 game
07:26run where they lost two games.
07:28And so they lose a game and Stephen goes, Oh, but adorable.
07:32Steph is tired.
07:33I'm like, Oh, now he's tired.
07:36Really?
07:36Was he tired when he was shimmying all over the New York Knicks a day ago?
07:40He didn't look too tired then.
07:43I saw him drop it like it was hot before the, before the ball even hit the net.
07:48So if you're not tired last night, you can't be tired tonight.
07:53I'm just saying it's like, do you know how tired works?
07:58Hey, cause he had a lot of turnovers.
08:00Why can't we ever just have a bad game?
08:01Maybe Steph just threw up a stinker.
08:04Oh, now.
08:05Ooh.
08:06Oh my goodness.
08:07Coming from you.
08:08That's amazing.
08:09Oh, I just think it's funny.
08:10Usually, usually, usually you, you, you might, you've been known after one
08:16bad game to bring out the bum guns.
08:20You have this.
08:22He had seven turnovers.
08:23Oh, sorry.
08:23He didn't get his nap.
08:26You think a nap is going to help him?
08:28I don't know.
08:29I just think it's, have you seen all the running he does at what?
08:3235, 36.
08:37Maybe you should make one of those, uh, those convenient
08:39injuries that LeBron has to go away for two weeks in the main lab.
08:42Oh, and here we go.
08:45Wow.
08:47Every March, you see every March, this guy goes, what is he doing?
08:53No, no, no.
08:54I growing didn't look too bad when he was cheering.
08:57Oh, no.
09:00And also, I don't know.
