WEBVTT - Have the Warriors Broken Trysta?

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I said they wouldn't do it. I said they couldn't

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:11.319
<v Speaker 1>do it. I said they'd never do it again. And

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 1>they did it. They did it. The Warriors did go

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>nine to one in the first ten games. The Warriors

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:19.279
<v Speaker 1>did go back to the finals with the same crew

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>including Wiggins and Pool, which I thought they needed another star.

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Apparently they don't. And now I have had a couple

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>of thoughts and a couple of revelations. One, you're welcome.

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the mush continues, so if that's what it takes,

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>like maybe I'm technically the biggest Warrior fan out there.

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 1>And Two I'm ready to lay down. I'm ready. I'm

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>ready to change. I'm tired, dead tired. I didn't sleep

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>a wink last night. All I could think about was

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>how do I prevent taking so many damn ls on

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>these Warriors. So I figured out a plan at around

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>three fifteen in the morning last night, when I was

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>scrolling TikTok and looking at Summer League outfits on Pinterest,

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Dark Deep Hole, and then I thought to myself, I

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>have an idea. I'm gonna bet the Warriors to win

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>every single fucking game until Steph Curry retires dead serious,

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>dead I'm not joking. This is not a bit. This

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>is not a bit. I am dead serious without exception.

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm preseason. I'm betting them in the preseason games, Summer

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>league games. I'm gonna bet them every game in the

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>regular season. Steph Curry preseason, MVP Future, Finals, MVP Future,

0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Klay Thompson Finals MVP Future. I'm going to bet them

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>every series in the playoffs because we know they're gonna

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>get there again. I'm gonna bet them, uh and they're

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>over on their win total in the futures market. I'm

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna bet them to win the West. I'm gonna bet

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>them to win it all all by September, every single

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>year until Steph Curry is no longer a Warrior. If

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the Warriors lose, do you think I care about that?

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you think I care if the Warriors lose and

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I lose money because of it? Do you think I've changed? No,

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I've not changed. I'm just finding a new strategy. I'm

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>just finding a new way in and it's I'm gonna

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>be rooting for them. You're gonna it's gonna sound like

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm rooting for them, but you know, in my heart,

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm rooting against them. You know what I mean, Chess

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 1>not checkers. You know what I'm saying. Like I'm gonna

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>say that there's still a dynasty. I've already started it.

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I've already started on every hit, best franchise I've ever seen?

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Who cares that the first ring that they won without

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>KD wasn't with Kyrie because he was injured in Game

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.800
<v Speaker 1>one and was missing Kevin Love? Who cares about that?

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Who cares about that? Who cares that they gave up

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a three one lead to the Calves without Kevin Durant?

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Who cares? They're still the best team. They're light years

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 1>ahead of everyone else. If I lose the money, I

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>don't care. I've started to make my own heisty at home.

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.239
<v Speaker 1>The money that I spend on all the is now

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>just going to mushing the Warriors. It's called the Warriors

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 1>mush Fund. And I'm either going to be extremely rich

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>or extremely happy, and either a way it's a win

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>for me. Chi ching, chi ching. It's either a I'm

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>like eating off of Warriors tears or I'm eating steak

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>dinners off of Warriors dubs. Who cares? Dub nation. I'm ready,

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready, dub nation and we talk about the Warriors

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>moving forward a lot, but it's fascinating to hear Steve

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Kerr reflect on how they got back to the finals

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>after missing playoffs two straight years. What was the reason?

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>What was the answer of the Steve Kurr said, you

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>might wonder Steph Curry because why wouldn't it be. Why

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't it be? It's always Steph. It was always Steph Curry,

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Steph Wardell, Stephan Curry. Everything good about the Warriors revolved

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>around Steph. Take out Steph. No more light years. So

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 1>Kurr said that the genesis of this team, I guess

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 1>shedding their skin or becoming a butterfly again out of

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.720
<v Speaker 1>being a caterpillar was when he signed his four year,

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and fifteen million dollar extension. Unlike a lot

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>of stars, Lebron James Lebron, Curry put almost no pressure

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>on the Warriors to quote unquote win now and get

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>another star. Curse said, a lot of stars would have said, no,

0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you have to trade all these young assets for a star.

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I need a star. Organizationally, the decision was, let's grow

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 1>these young guys so we can have a bright future.

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Very few people and Steph Shoes would have said, all right,

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll embrace it. Let's go to work instead of making

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>a big, splashy trade like they were saying, maybe they

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 1>would go out and get Beel. Remember that that was

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>big news Ben Simmons. Thank god they didn't do that.

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>They use their two first rounders on young players Kaminga

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and Moses Moody, very young, probably never gonna truly truly

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 1>contribute in a meaningful way while Steph is in his prime.

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>But they don't care. He's gonna be changing diapers. He

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.840
<v Speaker 1>doesn't care. Don't even get me started on James Wiseman.

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about that a million bajillion times. But Steph

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:46.840
<v Speaker 1>just listened to Bob Myers and the plan was, we're

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna win now. We're gonna keep this team together, the

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Corps is staying together, and we're gonna draft a bunch

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>of youngsters so that this team never falls off a cliff.

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.799
<v Speaker 1>We have a big mortgage on this Chase Center. We're

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.279
<v Speaker 1>not about to go back into meeting when your little

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>lass retires. And they asked Steph. Hey. Also, by the way,

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Draymond fell in line. He even voiced his support for

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Kaminga on draft night all the way from Japan during

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the Olympics, if you remember, and so they asked Steph

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>why he didn't use his leverage and Steph said, that's

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.239
<v Speaker 1>not how I operate. There were conversations in different paths

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to take, and we all had conversations about going different ways,

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>meaning they probably didn't initially agree. But at the end

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 1>of the day, I have a lot of trust in

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Bob Myers, a lot of confidence and what we're about.

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>There was no panic. Obviously a help that we won

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 1>a couple of championships that affords some patients, but there

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.359
<v Speaker 1>was no panic in terms of getting me, Clay and

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Draymond another run at it, figuring out how he could

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>get pieces around us to make it work. Just patients

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, and now are back

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:55.919
<v Speaker 1>to the finals. They have Jonathan Kaminga, who's bouncy only nineteen.

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.359
<v Speaker 1>He came off the bench three times. This playoff series

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>gave the Warriors eighteen, seventeen, and seventeen three separate playoff games.

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>What and then Moses Moody, who nobody expected to do

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 1>anything right away. He spent most of the season in

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the G League, then out of nowhere gave the Warriors

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes and seven points in a close out game.

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Ridiculous, Not to mention, they found Gary Payton second, literally

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 2>inside of a couch cushion. Literally they cut him and

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 2>he was like, can I just still stay around? Like

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 2>do you mind if I just like still come to practice?

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 1>You on to pay me? It's gonna hang around, And

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>then they signed him. Only the Warriors dub nation. We

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>in here discarded, nobody wanted him. Has me sick to

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:46.840
<v Speaker 1>my stomach. It tastes bitter sour like a bad diet.

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>The Warriors are back to the Finals with just their

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>core three by not panicking taking on a contract they

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>might live to regret like La did with Russell Westbrook.

0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>But instead they just put their faith in Andrew Wiggins

0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>and Jordan Poole who's only twenty two by the way,

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.760
<v Speaker 1>and a guy named Gary Payton the second and they

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 1>got to the verge of the Promised Land because Steph

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>put his faith in this Silicon Valley crazy mindset of

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>winning now and winning later simultaneously. This seemed crazy and

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>still probably does seem crazy to most folks on the outside,

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>even me. While still simultaneously building for tomorrow in a

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>sustainable way. Golden State fans don't deserve this. They don't.

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.079
<v Speaker 1>They didn't do anything to deserve it. They never did

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 1>a thing. They just continue to be entitled. But it's okay.

0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna profit from it and we are fully of board.

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>No negative commentary anymore about the Warriors. You're not gonna

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>get me, You're not gonna trick me. It's all Warriors.

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>It's gold, gold blooded. That's what they call it. Absolutely gross,

0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 1>absolutely gross. All right, really quickly before we run, because

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I gotta go. We got another show to do. Is over.

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>It's a round Boston about to kill the heat, thank god,

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 1>the heater or a hospital wing. They have no half

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 1>court offense. Jimmy Butler's on one knee, Kyle Lowry's thirty

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>pounds overweight with one hamstring. Victor Oladipo is the only

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.480
<v Speaker 1>serviceable guy they have right now. Tyler hero off of

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>bad groin. I mean it's bad. Miami had a hard

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>time scoring in the half court when everyone was healthy,

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>let alone where they're at now. The only shot that

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>we have we I don't even know what we call

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>non Warriors fans have. I promise I will not say

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>this anymore. Is it Boston wins this series? Because Boston's

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.960
<v Speaker 1>obviously a much better team than the Heat. Miami needs

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 1>to go now after another scorer to open up the

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 1>half court offense. I'm thinking hearing a lot of conversations

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 1>around Bradley Beal. How they get them? I don't know.

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Are they gonna trade Jimmy doesn't feel like that. That

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 1>certainly doesn't help them. They need Jimmy and somebody like Beal.

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.839
<v Speaker 1>Do they trade Bam? I'm not sure, but it does

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like for them to be the number one team

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 1>in the East and consistently being slept on because we

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't trust Jimmy and we didn't trust Bam and all

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 1>these other randoms, they are randoms. Max Struce, of course,

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 1>he went one for eleven in a big game. Like

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:21.079
<v Speaker 1>he's Max Stroops. He's undrafted, Like Omer, you're Steven, Like, yeah,

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>he's Irmar, Omar, you're seven, you'erked seven? That's his name,

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>that's his name. Of course, Duncan Robinson's overpaid. He he

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.200
<v Speaker 1>went to like Wellesley and then transferred to Michigan. These

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.079
<v Speaker 1>are not good blue chip players. Like Victor Oladipo was

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>the biggest blue chip player that you have, and he

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>has to have a funeral for a knee, so they

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 1>need to figure it out. They got to the Eastern

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Conference finals, and I think that's about it. Like, yes,

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.079
<v Speaker 1>they went to the finals. Yes they went to the

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Eastern Conference finals. But somehow in your heart and your soul,

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 1>when you say to yourself, is this Heat team prepared

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.319
<v Speaker 1>for the future, what do you say, is it yes?

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Not to me? That half court offense. I am so

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.560
<v Speaker 1>glad I don't have to watch another Heat game for

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 1>a while after this. And I had twenty five to

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 1>one odds on them to win it all. I could

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 1>have won a lot of money. And you know what,

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. I don't care. I don't want to

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>watch another second of that terrible, terrible team play ugly

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 1>LA Lakers style basketball. Get it out of here, get

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>it out. What happens next, I don't know. I think

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 1>pat Riley's gonna be active, just like Dallas will. They

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 1>need to figure out what to do with Kyle Lowry though.

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Lowry because he's making forty million dollars and he's

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven million, thirty seven dollars seven twenty million dollars

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>a year for two more years. And he's thirty seven

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>years old with an injury history. So what do you do.

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Figure out a way to get him to retire. That's

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 1>what you do. Buy him out. Maybe he'll be healthy

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 1>next year and help him and turn him into unas

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 1>has them there it is, I fixed it. That's all

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the time that we have for the heat Check. We'll
