00:00I think the Warriors are championship caliber and so last night last night was more of a measuring stick game than I expected

00:06I didn't believe in the Warriors going into that game. I know the Celtics didn't have Jalen Brown

00:10So I'm not saying it was like a perfect test

00:12They don't have poor Zingas, but who knows if the hub poor Zingas by the NBA Finals Brown. I'll give you poor Zingas

00:18You look at the Warriors last night. That's a team that will defend which surprised me

00:22Yep

00:23That's a team that I think they're shooting got better and they still have a killer out there and Steph Curry at the end of

00:28I'm not saying this will be the NBA Finals could be Oklahoma City could be Minnesota. There's a lot of good teams out west

00:35Golden State is on

00:36The Celtics level in terms of NBA contenders. The Celtics are a better team. Yeah. No, they're good

00:41I'm in a seven game. Oh, you're so better. I wouldn't be shocked if that's a rematch in June. Yeah, I

00:46Guess I'd still be surprised but they're way better than I thought

00:49So I'll give them that but I didn't consider them a contender

00:51I thought oh

00:52There's maybe five contenders in the West so the one thing they have going against them versus what the Celtics will have is

00:57If the Warriors make the finals, that's three really tough series, you know

01:02Like that means they have to beat Denver, Minnesota, Oklahoma City or something like that

01:04I don't think the Celtics have to go through that kind of murderers row

01:08But yes swapping out the corpse of Klay Thompson for buddy healed. That's a huge swing

01:13It's a big a big swing and Steph Curry still nails. So regardless of his age

01:18he's still one of the five or ten best players in the league the best closer in the league and

01:25They don't have that obvious second best player

01:28But they kind of make up for it by playing 10 11 guys and like every guy that goes out there plays defense

01:34They don't shoot as many threes as the Celtics do but they make a pretty good percentage. So yeah, they're there

01:39They're a tough team. I don't think they're going to the finals, but they're way better than I thought
