00:07i was just uh calling uh congratulate you on holding on your end of the bargain i was the
00:13caller that called last monday about the face painting so you held up your end i really
00:19appreciate that hey fred i do not ever run from those situations um in fact absolutely in fact i
00:27think i spent 17 on those materials yeah okay and i did not bad yeah i had to make sure that they
00:35were going to arrive on time they came late sunday night and i was ready to go yesterday fred so thank
00:41you all right yeah and dibs just relax on the jimmy butler slander right now okay the real warrior
00:49fans we were in the dumps about two and a half months ago let's just be happy that we're in a
00:55playoff hunt we're gonna make a run stuff had a like a very disappointing game but i think houston
01:03tip they had a little bit i don't understand why he made he don't could get that but the warriors see
01:10them in the second round or maybe in the western conference finals that will not happen that's a
01:15fact dylan brooks he's a bum he had a amazing game how many times would that happen in a seven game
01:23series think about it thanks for having me on y'all okay fred yeah thank you fred for the uh face
01:28paint peer pressure the fpp is what that was because uh you pressured him and you you took it
01:36i don't even remember it that way was there a lot of pressure no there wasn't but pretty i think i
01:41you know like you brought it up but i think i just like dude if they go three and one i'll do that
01:45yeah i mean and i'll be happy to do that exactly and you were happy to do it thrilled for them to
01:50go three and one this week and i'm not sitting here slandering jimmy butler i'm just looking at
01:54a game where jimmy butler to me to my eye and i watched it now twice was not as impactful as i think
02:02that playoff jimmy has been in miami and when you have a game where ime udoka has taken steph curry
02:08completely out of the game this is where i would look for jimmy butler to be a little bit more
02:13impactful i see what they've been with jimmy i see the record with jimmy and steph i see how much
02:19that he has changed their fortunes they went from a 10 and 11 seed a playing team to being maybe a
02:26four seed maybe crying out loud if things break their way so i get all that i'm not slandering
02:32jimmy butler i look at sunday's game and i do wonder if he could be more impactful at times when they need
02:40that okay i think the bigger question because i don't think you're slandering jimmy butler um
02:45the bigger question is this one that is by the way our engaging dubs poll question which is the idea
02:53of a different jimmy in the playoffs fascinating to me and i mean that now fascinating to me because
02:59even our youtube poll right now do you expect a different jimmy in the postseason i voted no 71
03:07of you on youtube have voted yes now again that's not do you want that's do you expect right do you
03:13expect a different jimmy in the playoffs the only way i would expect a different jimmy in the playoffs
03:18is the same way i expect that i guess out of sort of every player in the nba which is that things do
03:23get ramped up a little bit but i don't equate that to shooting i just don't and i will like i if i was
03:33you know if you're into prayer hit your knees tonight and pray that you don't see a different
03:39jimmy in the playoffs that's how they got here that's why i'm fascinated by it i'm like truly now
03:49i'm truly confused by the idea that a warrior fan has watched what they've done since the trade deadline
03:55watch the impact that he's had not just with his own numbers but with what he's done for everyone
04:01around him completely walked in snapped his fingers and created a completely different
04:06warrior basketball brand this year yet you want him to be something different i want him to be
04:13exactly literally a carbon copy of what he's been because it has led to the warriors being one of the
04:22best teams in the nba do not change jimmy be you that's it well i want jimmy to adapt to the situation
04:30and sunday the situation in my opinion called for him to be different than what he was and i
04:37am not expecting him to be playoff jimmy from miami and i'm looking at his playoff log for his career
04:43and in every game in which he shot more than 25 times his team is 9 and 0 miami 9 and 0 when he shot
04:53it 25 times now you're not looking for jimmy to shoot it 25 times so when we talk about playoff jimmy
05:00and i'm looking at these games 42 32 47 he had 56 in a win over milwaukee just two years ago out of
05:09playoff jimmy out of necessity so i'm not looking for that no i'm looking at a blend between i'm just
05:17going to make the right play and shoot seven times in a loss and a guy who shot 17 of 33 in a win
05:24over milwaukee for me there's a middle ground and i'm not seeing it i didn't see it sunday and i'm
05:31that middle ground is what i'm looking for i'm curious as to why that's literally my point i don't
05:36know why any of you want anything different from jimmy it's been awesome it has literally unlocked the
05:41warriors all of them everybody looks better right not every game well no nobody does anything every
05:48game well fine steph scored three then last week he scored 52 jimmy was one of seven against orlando
05:54and they won right thanks jimmy have scored 56 exactly yes so every that's the whole point every
06:01game every possession is its own living breathing thing i don't want jimmy like it's almost like you
06:07guys want jimmy to play basketball the way i play madden and i haven't played madden in probably five
06:13years and the reason is is because my kids kick my ass every time because i don't know how with 17
06:20different buttons in front of me y'all are able to just like drop back and start deciding right there
06:26am i supposed to hit a x how about the button that's on the back or two whatever like what do you
06:32no i just predetermine what i'm gonna do we're going slant route to the inside receiver if it's
06:38open great if it's not i'm gonna throw pick and lose but that's how i play madden and it seems like
06:43some of you want jimmy butler to play basketball that way no no i want him to like he's going to
06:49make adjustments he's gonna no he does he's he's literally on every possession doing what he thinks
06:55the the play is calling for him to do and it's made the warriors amazing and now we want him to be
07:02something other than that i don't want more shots less unless that's what that play calls for right
07:11if that moment not the game not the playoff series if that possession calls for a shot and shoot it
07:18if it doesn't then don't just keep doing what you're doing he's been incredible he's been great
07:24they've been great and i'm not going to give him all the credit because but the timing's pretty uncanny
07:29don't you think well yeah i mean give me all the credit for orlando when he made one basket and
07:34they won so i don't know why we're focused on that game we're focused on everything mark and
07:38you're trying to like throw a blanket over the jimmy experience i sure am all about jimmy
07:43and it's not all about jimmy so steph didn't play against miami and steph didn't play in the game
07:50against atlanta and they lost them both so right because is that about jimmy no they need them both
07:54dibs and jimmy's the one who just arrived we watched a full half i mean jimmy's a 35 year old
07:58pro so we watched a season and a half of steph without a jimmy with him and they can't even make
08:04the playoff yes and we saw two games of a jimmy without a steph and they can't even make the
08:09playoffs right so they need them both and they need them both to be exactly who they've been when
08:14they're together well when they're not the same because steph curry gets taken out of the game
08:18then jimmy needs to be somebody else well then you're not or you're gonna lose yeah you're gonna
08:23lose and by the way i don't think him being someone else wins you that game either it just doesn't we
08:29don't know because he decided to not be the jimmy that he's been did not decide 33 shots 29 shots and
08:36you look at his miami run and you don't have steph curry doing anything jimmy could have been more
08:41impactful and he wasn't no i i boy just the hardest possible disagree yeah you had three other players
08:48knocking down threes like at a very high level and i promise you and you lose yes and you lost and
08:55that is not all on jimmy butler and it's for a hundred different reasons as we've discussed
08:59but this idea that those players were able to knock down those threes and that jimmy and his presence
09:05have nothing to do with that like literally those guys are open because the defense is focused on steph
09:11and jimmy and so him shooting the ball that's just forcing it which is also known as bad basketball
09:17right right you really think jimmy don't know what he's doing i mean is that the jimmy knows what
09:22he's doing okay then jimmy knows what he's doing but i i don't think that jimmy is doing what the
09:27team needed on sunday and again i'm small sample sizing it because you're right we can look at the
09:32whole jimmy era and they've won a ton of games and i look at a game where he's shooting it 17 times
09:3913 times 16 times and then you have a game where he shoots it seven times when steph curry is
09:44completely neutralized and you only got up seven shots that to me is a problem yeah yeah uh boy boy
09:52i got a lot of faith in this guy that that seemingly um i i guess maybe you don't or maybe a lot of you
09:59don't i don't know i had faith in him from the from the jump i'm looking at one like it today from one
10:04game why why would we do that why would you focus on it's what we're doing we're looking at one game
10:09no we're not we're literally answering the question of what do you need to see in the postseason
10:13the postseason if he goes four for seven in the postseason and steph goes one for ten
10:17you're out you're gone you're gonna lose that game yes you're gonna lose the series it's hysterical
10:22that you point to jimmy when steph scores three points probably look at draymond too
