00:00Now back to Stiney and Guru on 95 7 the game
00:05Alright, it's the crossover and the crossovers brought to you by abundant life weight loss
00:09They know the secret to losing up to one pound of fat every day go to abundant life weight loss calm
00:16Dan Dibley Mark Willard
00:19Welcome. Yeah, how are you guys? Oh, yeah. Hello. I need alone. You need alone. Yeah
00:26Yeah, it's not payday week is yeah
00:28What happens gave me a tip last night on San Diego State
00:39No, I bet I bid it also, but he's being real good to me this
00:44Win them all I would
00:47But but it does suck when you don't even get to read like you you turn it on and you're like, well 84 to 4
00:54Go to Netflix
01:01What's funny is you actually bet North Carolina because you said on the air like Oh, North Carolina, I told you
01:08That's what you said on Twitter. Yeah
01:10right
01:12So I took your advice and made the play on
01:15Predicated on what you so I talked myself out the bread. Sure. So the laughing was I think I'd I
01:21Paid for this
01:23Yeah, it was an L for your boy it was an L for me and for Mark for everyone else and I parlayed it with the
01:30Warriors, I would I would the Warriors did their part?
01:39And when you watch that game like what they did, North Carolina, they've never done that before all year
01:45They made every three and they okay if you're gonna do that then fine all the handicapping
01:52It's out the window because they did not miss a three
01:56Ever they shot 58 percent from three. So yeah, well night-night you lose move on
02:02Yeah, it's just like you can handicap all this stuff and like, you know the last two warrior games
02:08Okay, no Jokic and no Murray. Yeah Warriors minus eight easy money
02:14Yeah, you lose and then last night. Oh my god. No Steph. You can't beat Milwaukee and then they win so
02:21It's basketball I was all set to watch college basketball and then I saw something happened and realized I
02:28Don't watch college basketball ever. They continue to use an outdoor ball. What I
02:35Saw a guy take a free throw
02:38You know how it hits the front then hits the backboard then comes off to the side
02:44It hit the front it hit the backboard and it got wedged
02:49Mm-hmm. How does a ball get wedged on a foul shot right unless it's too
02:55Rubbery Wow, well and the big complaint has been that it's over
02:59Inflated like, you know
03:01Most of the broadcasters are saying that the ball that they're using now is not the ball they use during the regular year
03:06I believe it. I don't hate hearing these stories. I don't know why like it's probably corporate
03:12You know sure remember when the NBA changed the ball
03:14Oh
03:17And that was kind of the same ball they use now in college it's like new coke. Oh, man
03:22Like whoops, that was wrong move. Have you ever you guys have all knew what held an NBA ball, right? Oh, yeah
03:29There's nothing better than an NBA ball. And that's why I didn't have a knockout
03:33That's yeah, that's Randy gave me some prison ball
03:38Had the soft NBA
03:40Tiny seriously, it makes you feel like you can't miss now. We moved on to the ball. Come on goo
03:49Yeah, and I made fun of Grandy real quick
03:52I got to do this as we got here
03:53And I was heard about knockout and I gotten over it until I walked in today
03:58And if the youtubers can see in my hand, yeah, this is the greatest photo
04:04since Penn State and Notre Dame in the snow at the goal line
04:08And Grandy's at chase on the floor and he's the winner. This is better than any trophy
04:15So will it I told studies great. No, it brings back the pain of lose
04:27Second place and I gave it to him
04:30To him. No, I didn't get it. They gave it to me to give to granny looks not even studies like that could go into man
04:38Okay
04:41Four out of five and the reason why oh if you look at it again
04:47He's got his name tag on
04:49Dude, take off your name tag
04:51I
04:56Need your name tag, you're the chair Z key act like a champ the steph Curry walking to chase. Hi. I'm Steph Curry
05:04No, dude, the champ take off your name
05:08That rackets in commercial that runs on our air is Steph like says to Tim Roy. I think they know who I am, right?
05:14Yeah, yeah first name
05:18Oh my god
05:22Observation I didn't even know we did our name tags. No first name tag. We all had them
05:28We did it to me when I walked in the media
05:40Let me just
05:42I'm gonna say this and Alex Simon. I hope you're listening and maybe you can aggregate me and it would be an aggregation
05:50Sensation you don't write for the newspaper
05:54You write for a website SF gate is not the newspaper
05:58It's a knockoff of the newspaper, which was a once great institution
06:04And you know what if that institution was still great as it was you wouldn't be writing for it
06:10Because you are nobody my brother
06:13You're writing for a website that no one looks at and you want to talk about Yelp and you guys all made fun of me
06:19yesterday for my
06:22SFGate is the Yelp of news sites. Nobody gives a crap about you Alex Simon or
06:29your SF gate
06:32Post that Lucas. I'm trying to take heat off my partner. Yeah
06:40Wow SF gate the only time it's a
06:43Newspaper is when you print out the article and no one does well
06:46When did you get wind of your name was being used before show is even over before the show is even over
06:53So yeah, Alec, by the way, like I'll just be straight up front with with with everything about this and everyone about this
07:01Look
07:03If you listen to show yesterday
07:05You don't think I blasted the Warriors. That's stupid. That's a dumb word to use. That's an inaccurate word and
07:12So that that in and of itself is is the unfair part of it beyond that like big deal, dude
07:21Like write whatever you want. We were over at the Giants open house literally two hours ago and Alex came up
07:27Oh, yeah, he came up to introduce himself said do you want to talk about it? I said not right now
07:33Not right now cuz I got chicken sandwich in my mouth and I don't need to talk to you about this right now
07:40Like, you know, if you want to write a story
07:42This is the only thing I would say because all Mark Willard loves chicken sandwich all is fair in our game
07:48We have microphones and we get to talk about other people. So it would be hypocritical
07:53I didn't like it if someone's gonna talk about us, but if you want to write a story about somebody
07:59Call them and talk to them or talk to people close to them
08:02I will give Alex credit that he came up to me
08:06He came up to me and said do you want to talk about this?
08:09I mean maybe next time talk about it before you go in there and start using that kind of verbiage with our partners
08:17I think that that's a little bit crazy. But now I'll do exactly as Draymond asks us to do
08:23I must stand on what I say
08:25Well, I'm gonna stand on what I do and I had a lot of things today and I said them so
08:32Yeah
08:33All like onward
08:36Life onward. Yeah, you're onward and and and what an incredibly upward and what an incredibly important win
08:44Well, they went out there and got it without him. No doubt. So kudos to the Warriors. That was absolutely a necessity
08:50Last night and they did it. Yeah, we came we came out today talking about Draymond Green and
08:57And
08:59Giannis didn't score a point off him. Not one point off him when they were guarding each other. Draymond was guarding Antetokounmpo
09:06It's just you know, I don't
09:09Not crazy that we go from that game to now. I'm a defensive player of the year
09:13Where he's not but he was
09:15Unbelievable last night. Why isn't he? Because your defense is not elite and you know
09:23Has been well of late last two months. Yeah, right
09:27I mean if you want to talk about like DPO why you look at somebody who is
09:32Defensively good all the time. Not just when Giannis comes to town. What would you vote for?
09:36It's Mobley and I'm not just saying that because the markets say that there's minus
09:41350 and they're the best team in basketball and when you're the best team and you are one of the
09:46four or five best defensive teams and
09:49You're the best defensive player on that team you get it and you know, just cuz Draymond had a good night to stop Giannis
09:55Good, that's awesome. And he was a big part of the win. It doesn't mean you're DPO. Why in my opinion?
10:02Well now he'll be first team all defense for sure. That's a hell of a feat too. I
10:07Whatever, it's like any award MVP defensive player of the year
10:12Coach of the year
10:13What I always do is give me the standings
10:16First thing I need is the standings. Okay MVP. Who's the best team in the league?
10:21Cleveland, okay. Okay. See, yeah, does Cleveland have somebody? Yeah, they have Mitchell. Okay. He's a candidate
10:28Who's the second best team? Okay. See, okay. They got Gildas Alexander. He's a candidate
10:33You know what Gildas Alexander's numbers are so good that maybe he leapfrogs
10:40Donovan Mitchell cuz Donovan Mitchell may have a better team around him
10:43But I always start at the top of the standings and say do they have a defensive player of the year?
10:49Candidate and if they do that's it. I don't disagree with you, but I wonder why we sort of
10:56reserve that for basketball
10:58Two years ago Shohei Ohtani won the American League MVP award played for the Angels
11:05They didn't even go to the playoffs let alone sniff being one of the best team
11:09Do he did something that we've never seen much like Russell Westbrook, so so yeah, but Russell also did that for a team
11:16I succeed. Yeah, well, but they're relevant. They're relevant
11:20It might have something to do with that one guy probably can make it more of a difference in basketball than baseball
11:25There's a lot of people have this like thing about MVP though where they go
11:29They start looking at what's around them. Hmm, and they're like, oh, well, he did more with less
11:34Who's your MVP in the NBA right now? Um, I
11:39Guess I guess Shea and I hate that you're saying it that way I guess but I get it. Yo kits to me does deserve
11:47Consideration sure. He absolutely deserves consideration and we're asking it in a moment. We're like 48 hours ago
11:54Tapped out of a basketball game. And so and they won. Yeah, and they won
11:59So, I don't know if that's kind of shading my opinion in this moment. It's one of those two guys
12:04No, I I wouldn't I think it's Jake Yildiz Alexander, oh, yeah, if yo kids got it I
12:11Wouldn't say he stinks but it's one of those things to me and this is right or wrong
12:15It's divs it's time to get it. Yo kid just got it three
12:18You know what?
12:18I mean
12:19like if we're gonna act like that doesn't exist or it's better for the lead to kind of spread it out and the old adage back
12:25In the day, Willard Jordan could have got it every year, but he didn't and I would like to see SGA get it this year
12:32He's just serving of it. But to Draymond's point
12:35He's that was incredible
12:37But I just feel like your boy just got on a 747 back to New York Saturday night
12:43Towns not that it was all on Draymond and he almost had 40 and we did your boy Gordon just left back to Denver the
12:51Mile high there was like the Warriors had no answer for him
12:54So I just felt like as bad as you were last night Dre and I feel you you saying you wanted it
13:00I think deep down knew you probably weren't gonna get it cuz Mobley is a problem
13:05But how many times have we you just talking basketball with your kids or anybody that Evan Mobley's gonna get DP
13:10Oh why it was windy until we got her
13:13Yeah
13:13A lot of people listening to us couldn't pick Evan Mobley out of a lineup and and so, you know
13:18If you're gonna see here's something that that I would use as a rebuttal if you're gonna say hey in your mind
13:24It should get spread around a little bit. Well, then then why can't I go?
13:28Well, then let's take more than just this year into account
13:32And now I'm gonna remove Evan Mobley because Draymond Green should get like a Lifetime Achievement Award
13:38Wow, he's better more effective defender should have more than his career. Yeah, absolutely. So
13:44my problem with MVP Awards always has been that there is not a
13:49More expressed letter of the law because everybody's voting with different rules in their minds. Oh, Tony on that
13:56Absolutely, that's everybody's got different priorities and things that they think valuable means and so therefore, you know
14:03And maybe that's good for for people like us, you know
14:06Brings a lot of different opinions to the yard
14:07You're listening to 95 7 the game kgmz FM and HD 1 San Francisco
14:12Always live on the free Odyssey app and now broadcasting from the Laughing Monk Studios in downtown, San Francisco
14:19We were talking about Minga
14:21We just have my problem with the defensive player of the year award is they tend to favor centers?
14:27and I actually don't think that many centers are the best defensive player in the league like I
14:33You know, I have the easiest like Simon every night like go bear. Yeah, it's it's a block shot award a lot of time
14:40Yeah, Jackson jr. A couple years ago. Yeah, like
14:43What I think of a guy like Ron Artest or meta world peace like he was a defender and that like I think that's where
14:50Draymond's a
14:52Level above man centers. What do they do? They protect the rim pretty much when they get out on the perimeter
14:59They're useless. Even if you're the defensive player of the year
15:03Draymond can impact defense at any position
15:06So that's why he's the best defensive player like I've seen in the last 15 years when he's at his best
15:13We have money pool on he's like, how the hell does go bear or I'm paraphrasing have all those DPO wise
15:18Then you go on to playoffs and he's unplayable
15:20You know what? I mean?
15:21Just he has DPR wise because of what Stiney just said he can register defensive stop and it's a it's it
15:26But it's a regular season award to dream on like what what stat did dream on register last night?
15:33Wow blocks, right? Yeah, but
15:36Those every night, you know what I mean?
15:38Like the stat that he registered was duty locked up the biggest physical play in the world from playing on but there's no stat
15:46So I'm with you Stiney. You cannot
15:50score consistently against Draymond green unless you have skill
15:56You have to have skill and as great as Giannis is
16:01He's not the most skilled player and Draymond
16:05Usually eats those guys up Carl Anthony town say what you want has skill. Yeah, he does I
16:12Wish I wanted to talk about Draymond and guru tears
16:16What about coming? Yeah, what about coming? Yeah
16:19Your thoughts I've been here defending them all morning and I feel like oh
16:23You're a hater when you talk about him and last night wasn't the greatest night just from a shooting standpoint to
16:28Just say there he's working his way back and they know they're going to need him in the playoffs. That's it
16:34I'm a he didn't play. Well, no
16:37Hello, you know six to six from the free-throw line like yesterday
16:40We came in here and Steph had played really bad. So like right I don't you know what I mean?
16:45I don't I try at least to stay off of the that that yo-yo of
16:51Of like if you played poorly one time now, we've got to come down your road and do something about it. No
16:58No, here's your uniform next games tomorrow
17:00Yeah, go go, you know go go fix this that and the other but but Jonathan let everything get it got to him last night
17:07So you thought that's what you can't do people said he was pressing
17:10I don't but how do we know that well cuz he threw somebody to the ground and got a flagrant foul
17:14We just talked about it like he let the physicality of what they were trying to do to him get to him
17:18that's that's what I saw and I
17:21Dibs, I don't know how you look at cominga, but they have a starting five and then you know
17:27Depending on who comes off the bench pods a Moody's been starting Peyton might come off the bet. So they got a eight guys
17:34He's one of eight guys, right? That's what he is right now and
17:40Too often the subject went like I'm kind of like will it's like they won last night comingus wasn't very good
17:47We don't have to really talk about him that much right, but I can't also hear well, he's got a play every night
17:54No, he doesn't I don't think well three guys have to play every night right and it's Steph Jimmy and drag on and like down
18:01the stretch it'll be
18:03cominga or post or GP to or loony or pods or whoever else I mean you want to throw in there and he's not
18:11one of those guys who
18:12Absolutely has to play down the stretch
18:14He won't start and I do think that you were making good points earlier about you know
18:19The cominga Jimmy Butler thing it might have been Evan this morning about like something to watch like, you know
18:25cominga and Jimmy Butler can they really play well together, but right now cominga is
18:30Three games in or four games. They're trying to figure out the Jimmy Butler era
18:35And yeah last night was not a good game and it kind of got to him a little bit and that's fine
18:41and you still won the game like I when I think of uh, like Pajewski and
18:45And 330
18:47You got Brandon Pajewski at 330 and Mark and Steve Kerr at 430. Okay. Yeah. Anyway, sorry, go ahead
18:54no, it's just like he almost doesn't matter what I think or you think about Pajewski, but
19:01Kerr likes him and
19:03Pajewski is gonna have the first crack at being in the like seven rebounds
19:07Steve Kerr said before Pajewski came back that when he envision is
19:12Envisions his closing lineup. Yeah, he thinks Pajewski is probably gonna be in there
19:16We'll see how it plays out. But like Pajewski, he loves Pajewski and
19:22On a night like last night, you might not win without Pajewski. So big big
19:27It's just huge shots Steve. Steve likes Pajewski. Yeah, and I think we get why because earlier in the year
19:33He was not relaxed and he was trying to prove something to everybody and he stopped doing that and now he's just playing within the
19:39framework of what they're doing and
19:41He's a winning basketball player, but like I don't want this observation to go away
19:46I want to get back to something Jonathan coming or related and say this I loved something that he did last night
19:52Yeah
19:53And I do not think that we should let this go because I've literally pounded on the table for a year
19:57Saying this is the key to his future. He went six for six from the free throw line
20:02Dude, you're not your shots not gonna be falling every night and you don't need to start throwing people to the floor
20:09When you get frustrated those things are fair
20:12But I also want to compliment him because I appreciate the key to his scoring future is
20:17Making more of his free throws and if he goes six for six from the line
20:21I'm gonna applaud that every time Donnie Dawes show that was a positive and I'm excited
20:25No doubt and it'd been a weakness moving forward, but Dibbs real quick to your point about
20:30It's kind of a close in the other two spots by committee
20:34Is that a good is that a positive or can it be a negative all dependent on when you get into a series
20:39What depends on how you feel about Steve Kerr because it's gonna be up to Steve to say, you know
20:44Who's playing well, and what's the matchup? What do we need if we're up for maybe it's GP2 if we're down for maybe it's
20:52Quinton post and buddy healed. I think it depends on the situation the matchup and who also is playing well
20:58But to Stiney's point, I do think that pods has a great chance to be one of those guys
21:04Who is gonna play because he rebounds and he come on doesn't make really bad decisions and he's generally pretty solid
21:11yeah, I feel like pods will make one bad decision and
21:15Maybe a year ago. He'd make two or three. Yeah now he makes one and then he gets back to
21:21Trying to be a little bit more under control, but I do think
21:24Yeah, I think put Jemski's got the inside track on being in that closing lineup, let's just put it that way
21:32What'd you go? Go ahead?
21:34Goodbye. No, I was gonna say
21:36I don't think that's real good was gonna do
21:39What day what do you mean I don't cut it too short remember somebody gave you a compliment yesterday
21:44Leave it a little longer on the top. Okay, but uh, what'd you make of his game?
21:48I know he didn't have the best game when he's back home, but I wasn't a dame. I know
21:52Yeah, exactly fourth quarter he started to
21:57Get scared for a second
21:59Like like actually, can we go there for a sec? Cuz yeah Dame didn't shoot the ball
22:04Well, I you know Dame Dame is a great player, but you know, he's not an NBA one on a great team
22:10He's never he's never been that before
22:12But the fear that that that was struck when the Warriors went down by six
22:17I think it was that was there 70 70, right? Was that was that was that the number?
22:22Man, I want to point to what the core of my point was yesterday and it's baked into the Clippers beating the Cavs
22:29You can't be in the play in
22:33Tournament and that's why I know they won the game yesterday. Yeah, but that's why I'm so
22:39Get away from it. That's why I'm so hard on the urgency of every night
22:43And if you're tired, then I'm not sure how I'm supposed to believe that this is gonna go somewhere great like imagine it now
22:50You okay. It's all good. We got the seven. All right, the Clippers are coming
22:54How do you feel they got us already and they've won seven of their last eight and they just whipped the Cavs last night
23:01Whipped them and then if you lose that game now, you're in a season over game
23:08With either Phoenix or Sacramento and I'm sorry, that's just
23:14Incredibly uncomfortable and if you win that game you get okay. See
23:18They have a lot
23:20Yeah, they may need to win 50 still. I I kind of gave up on the idea of 50
23:24They got to go 10 and 3 the rest of the way and they might be doable. Yeah, it is. It absolutely is
23:28All right. Well, Brandon Pudzemski 330 Steve Kerr 430 don't go anywhere. Keep it locked on 95 7 the game
