00:00Last night's game was the first game in a while where you could just kind of and I know the game before
00:04Orleans was an easy one, but last night was just like almost hilariously fun
00:09How good they were actually thought the New Orleans game was quite annoying. Yeah, I know
00:13I'm not gonna call it frustrating because at no point did I watch that game and and legitimately give thought to a loss
00:20But it was it was very annoying. It's like why why are you they looked flat?
00:25You know, why are you taking so long to shake them and then they do shake them
00:29But then still like put it this way. I didn't think the Warriors looked good
00:33I did not think the Warriors looked good against nor New Orleans. They shot
00:3855-3. Yeah in that game. I mean looks they looked
00:42I
00:44Don't know tired. They looked like they were running around in quicksand
00:47Yeah, you know and and what was the lead? Granny? Maybe you'll know like New Orleans. Was it 14 to 2?
00:53Yep, 14 to what are we doing?
00:56What are we doing? Right? I mean and I hadn't heard of any of them dudes running around out there
01:02There was a Bobby there was a Ronnie like it was like new edition against the Warriors. I'm like, what are we doing?
01:10So whatever they get that yesterday. They look good. They look like a really good basketball team
01:15The Spurs look like a really young bad one. They don't have any of their players either but fine
01:20You know you get you get these two wins, but here we go, man. This is a real gauntlet
01:25I don't want to you know, we keep saying it's a big week and we shouldn't assume that everybody cruising around this afternoon
01:31How's the schedule memorized the way we do?
01:34So let us let you know what we're talking about tomorrow night
01:38The Warriors will be in Memphis on Thursday night. They will be in Los Angeles to take on LeBron and the Lakers
01:44They will then hop a flight straight home to get ready for a home game the very next night against Nikola
01:50Jokic in the Denver Nuggets and then on Sunday, they will host the Houston Rockets. So here come four of the top five seeds
01:58Everybody but Oklahoma City in the West all on the schedule this week and that's what I'm trying to figure out
02:06I'm not really asking anybody to get inside my brain as
02:09Much as I'm asking if people maybe feel the same way or if you feel differently, but honestly like why?
02:17Why?
02:19What is it 18 and 5 since Jimmy?
02:22Something like that. Whatever doesn't matter. You get the point good basketball team since Jimmy got here
02:28Why when I look at this do I go?
02:32All right, I don't I don't feel terribly confident right now against those teams probably for a couple reasons
02:38I think one you still have fresh in your mind the Atlanta Miami uno dos
02:44Which was bad followed by bad and then you you mentioned it
02:48You go to New Orleans and you fall down 14 to 2
02:50That did not engender a lot of confidence in what you got going on
02:55Then you played the Spurs triple-a team baseball analogy. Welcome back baseball and you both raced him and it was great
03:01But after those four games you went to and to and the two teams you lost you aren't great anyway
03:07And so yeah, it feels still a little bit like they're trying to find their identity
03:12we can get to the coming a piece a little bit later something that you and I were thrown out on the text thread about
03:17The coming of fit and whether or not that's a real thing. Is it a real problem?
03:22Is it a temporary thing?
03:23But as far as confidence goes, I'm looking at these four games as a real measuring stick
03:29You don't have to go for no three and one would be cool. And one would be
03:33Amazing right
03:35Amazing two and two would be would be adequate passable anything worse than that
03:39And now we can start talking about playing tournament
03:42Sure, and I do still believe that if you don't get the six, you're not going anywhere
03:47Cuz you're an older team and you need that rest. Well, I agree with you except for
03:52I'm gonna leave a sliver open for the idea of the seven seed and you win that first game
03:58That that'd be a week where you play once okay and and and it'd be a home game
04:03In theory if you go in as the seven obviously, it could be a road game if you go in as the eight
04:09But if you play one game and you win it you grab that seven and you play Houston and you would probably get I don't
04:16Know three four nights off before starting that series in Houston. I don't necessarily think that's a problem
04:22however, I
04:24Buy what you're saying? I buy what you're saying? The Warriors need that break
04:29They need to get the six and as we sit here today, I'm sorry, dude
04:33I'm still gonna I still think they're an underdog to get it. I really do. I know they're in it right now
04:39Yeah, they're in the six seed right now
04:41But that's kind of what I'm saying like as the Clippers get the the Pelicans to come to town not once but twice
04:49The Pelicans are going to LA and getting a hotel room
04:52Okay, they're gonna stay there and play them again
04:55Wow
04:55like while they're doing that the Warriors have to finish a six-game road trip against LeBron and then
05:00Fly home to play Nicola the next night next night. Yeah, it's tough and I and worse like I don't know dude
05:06I'm like, how am I?
05:08I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about that Bob Fitzgerald came on
05:11With us recently and called this the stupidest road trip in the history of the NBA
05:17And and you know whether that's working their way back across I just it is an odd
05:24Sort of a deal like listening to Bob and Kalina last night. It was interesting that they were like joking around
05:32They're like, oh just a lot of our families want to let you know, we're still alive
05:36So like while we sit here and go they've played four basketball games. No big deal. They've been gone forever
05:43And so how is that wearing on them, how are they feeling mentally physically as
05:50They encounter let's be real the hardest biggest most important regular season week of the year
05:58Here we go
05:58And you've got Memphis who?
06:00likely will be getting some sort of a bounce from having a new coach and the weirdest firing ever if
06:05There are players on that team that didn't love the coach and now the coach is gone
06:10You might get a little bit of a bounce from Memphis and you got to end a six-city road trip in LA on
06:16National TV against Luka and LeBron and a get-up game for everyone
06:21That's gonna take a lot of energy out of you and you mentioned it mark you turn around the next night
06:25Back here against the Denver Nuggets
06:28So not only do you end up off a six-game road trip
06:32But the very next day you got to come home and take on a team
06:35That stuck it to you last time you faced correct me if I'm wrong the the firing with Taylor Jenkins in Memphis that happened on
06:42Friday right happened on Friday. Okay, so I don't know about a bounce
06:46They went out and then the next night at home and gave up a hundred and thirty four points to the Lakers and lost
06:51Yep, so well the Lakers in the bounce-back spot of their own. I guess they got
06:56Embarrassed in Chicago. That was the craziest finish ever wild
07:00For especially for someone who had the Bulls plus two and a half. I don't know who did look at you and somebody did anyway
07:07Yeah, they went out already and played without Taylor Jenkins. They lost and they've got Boston tonight
07:12So tomorrow's game against the Warriors is on a back-to-back for them
07:16so I hear what a lot of people are saying and I don't like to do this because
07:21Dude, there's just so many things going on that
07:25We either don't know about or there's matchup stuff here there or otherwise
07:30but it does feel like the goals that the fan base has for this team this week if
07:37If you kind of like, oh, we got to get at least two
07:40It feels like tomorrow got to be one of them
07:43It kind of feels like tomorrow's got to be one of off you stack them up in terms of difficulty
07:48Tomorrow would be maybe the the easiest quote
07:51It's the easiest or the second easiest only be though Houston one is at home and so
07:57Those are the two the bookends to me are the the two most winnable
08:01Well always the last game of a road trip is tough and you're at LA on
08:06National TV in primetime, so that's gonna be a late game just by nature of it being a national TV game
08:12So then you turn around the next day and you face Denver
08:15So by the time you play the Lakers and you get done and you get on the plane and you get home and you get
08:20Your bed. It's probably 1 a.m. Maybe 130 and you know, you get up at 9 9 30 and right to the arena and get ready for
08:28Denver and you know, Aaron Gordon be licking his chops knowing that he
08:32Absolutely gave it to you last time and the Joker likely to play this time and so yeah, he's been back
08:38So the it that becomes to me
08:41It's not maybe not the toughest game, but that of the Lakers those games are both very tough
08:45I guess what I'm getting at here and we would really love
08:49To sort of like take your temperature on this to eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seventy
08:56I'm an optimistic guy. I
08:59Show as much belief as I can to everybody because why not belief is free
09:05so
09:06With all of that being said and an 18 and 5 record with Jimmy Butler
09:11I would have thought that when I woke up this morning and got ready for this week
09:17I would have thought that I would have felt better about what was about to happen next
09:23So it's almost like I'm questioning my own thoughts about what we've watched with warrior basketball
09:30over the last month
09:32Month plus I guess if you will I'm trying to figure out and and so where are you on that?
09:38Where are you on that? Like what are you expecting to happen this week?
09:43What are you expecting to happen this week, I'm expecting him to go out and split the four
09:48I'm expecting you two and two you beat Memphis LA is kind of a swing game
09:53LeBron's been really giving you trouble and then the Denver one for me is just a terrible spot
09:58Then then you get a little bit of a break and Houston comes in
10:01You've been a much better team with the roll guys at home. So for me, this feels like a two and two
10:07Five games in a row on national TV Wow five in a row
