00:0095.7 The Game, Breaking News.

00:05Well, guys, we're awaiting the Warriors announcing Steph Curry's update tomorrow.

00:11That's what I imagine Steve Curry's going to tell you guys coming up in a couple of hours.

00:14We do have a look ahead to tomorrow's injury report for game number five.

00:17Steph Curry is officially listed as out for tomorrow's game.

00:20Okay, there you have it.

00:21So now it's in ink.

00:23What many have already sort of been thrown around out there

00:26based on what's been not only said in the media,

00:30what I think is also evident just by watching him walk around in life,

00:35but now the official injury report is there.

00:37Steph Curry is out and will not play in game five.

00:40Okay, and now it's official, and I'm not surprised at all.

00:45We just had this conversation where if you reevaluate somebody on game day

00:49and they've been out for more than a week, they're not going to play that night.

00:53That doesn't happen, and you're not going to risk his hamstring.

00:57If he plays with it, maybe iffy 50-50, and something really bad happens to it,

01:02and now he's out three to six months and he has surgery, what are we even doing?

01:06I mean, 50-50 to me also, you're talking about a hamstring.

01:09So, like, if you send Steph Curry out there tomorrow night,

01:13he's not going to be Steph Curry.

01:15Right.

01:15He's not going to be Steph Curry.

01:16Here, let's jump this to the front of the line

01:19because I think we have a caller that wants to specifically talk about this.

01:22Nick in Berkeley.

01:23Hi, Nick.

01:24What's up?

01:24What you got?

01:26I just refuse.

01:27I mean, I'm in the state of denial, man, but I'm just like, dude,

01:30there's no way he's not playing.

01:32Like, give him a limited – give him a limited –

01:34dude, like the NFL, they give him a limited, like, you know,

01:37runs or carries or passes or whatever.

01:39Man, he's going to play.

01:40I just refuse to believe the competitor in Curry is going to sit there

01:46and watch his team move.

01:47He's going to – man, tape your leg up, homie.

01:49I don't know what to tell you.

01:51It's do or die.

01:52You ain't got to play the whole game.

01:53At least 25 minutes, you can't give it a go for at least a quarter.

01:57It's a wrap.

01:57I respect that.

01:58There's no way he's not going to touch that floor tomorrow, man.

02:01I just don't see it.

02:02He's going to touch that floor right underneath those chairs

02:05that they sit on over there on the bench.

02:08Nick, I want to give you my phone number so that you can text me

02:11at tip-off tomorrow night, and we'll see if you believe it then.

02:16Like, I mean, not only is he already listed as out, I mean,

02:20you've got to acknowledge that just because he is Steph Curry doesn't mean

02:25he's got the ability to go out there tomorrow night and look like Steph Curry.

02:29You don't want half of Steph Curry to play, do you?

02:31Well, I'm saying he can go for five minutes.

02:39This call will be recorded.

02:40Oh, my God.

02:41All right.

02:42There goes Nick.

02:43What the hell just happened?

02:44We may have to save that whole piece right there.

02:47This call will be recorded.

02:48Oh, my God.

02:49Even the lady on there thought five minutes was just a ridiculous idea.

02:54Well, and series like, you are wrong.

02:58Thank you for calling.

02:59And for those who are not old enough to remember,

03:01and I remember because I was almost two,

03:03but the Willis-Reed game, 1970 NBA Finals,

03:07where he trudged out on the floor,

03:09and we all rhapsodize about the Willis-Reed game.

03:13He played 27 minutes, but he scored four points.

03:15So he was out there, kind of, but if it wasn't for, yes,

03:20Walt Frazier leading the Knicks over the Lakers,

03:23the Willis-Reed game is a little bit of a misnomer.

03:26What was the final score?

03:27How much did they win by?

03:27113 to 99.

03:29Oh, so they didn't even need his four points.

03:31No.

03:31Man, what a gravy trainer.

03:33The logo with 28 and a loss.

03:35Yeah.

03:36Will 21 and 24 and a loss.

03:38Kind of the logos thing to be an all-time great

03:41and barely ever, ever, ever win it.

03:43One ring.

03:44Yep, exactly.

03:45One out of 11.

03:46He's like your boy Aaron Rodgers.

03:49R-E-L-A-X.

03:53Relax.

03:53All right.

03:53Let's go to Trevor in R-O-H-N-E.

03:58Never mind.

03:58Boner Park.

03:59Hi, Trevor.

04:00What's up, Trevor?

04:01What are you doing?

04:02I spelled it all the way out, man.

04:04Come on.

04:05I know I could have, but I was like,

04:06I'm going to take all of Trevor's time

04:08if I keep up with all these letters.

04:10Well, let's not do that.

04:11Let's not do that.

04:12All right.

04:12So, guys, I just, I want to just kind of emphasize

04:16what that game looked like compared to game three.

04:21And the reason why I feel like, yeah, this is definitely a wrap.

04:25I don't think Trevor's going to get a chance to come back.

04:26It's just the defensive level and the effort level out there

04:31that I saw, whether it be Draymond Green getting older.

04:35And you guys are right.

04:35The legs, I mean, if the hair doesn't give it away,

04:37the legs definitely do.

04:39The defense wasn't there at the end as well as the first half of the quarter.

04:43And it's a collective effort, right?

04:45There is no guy.

04:46Everybody knows that.

04:47You guys know that.

04:48We all know that the Warriors don't win games this year

04:51before Jimmy Butler for sure, unless it's a collective effort.

04:54There is no one guy that's going to go out there and get this done.

04:58There just isn't outside Jimmy Butler,

05:00and Jimmy Butler is not really doing it.

05:03So, I mean, you know, Curry, you've got three games you've got to win in a row.

05:07It's not going to happen.

05:08If they win next game, great.

05:09I really kind of feel like it pretty much is done next game.

05:13But I think really what it comes down to is when I called in before

05:17and I was talking about defense will keep you in the game.

05:19But the defense, in my mind, at least in the second half,

05:22the defense really tapered off.

05:23The first half is okay.

05:24They were in it.

05:25They were in it.

05:26But as the second half came through, it's like everything just kind of collapsed.

05:32The scoring stopped, and then instantaneously right after that,

05:35the defense stopped.

05:36And I don't know.

05:37It was just a perfect storm.

05:39But, guys, it's a collective effort,

05:41and it's just the collective effort isn't there right now.

05:44And unfortunately to me, that makes it feel a lot like it's over.

05:49I said I wasn't going to doubt the Warriors again after the Rockets,

05:51but this is a little different.

05:52This is different.

05:54This Timberlake seems too good now.

05:55Well, and Steph Curry's out.

05:57So, yeah, Trevor, I get it.

05:58I will say one thing.

06:00I'll push back a little bit on, quote, unquote,

06:02the collective effort is not there.

06:04I do think the effort is there.

06:06And here's one thing I've always thought about NBA stars.

06:09When offensive stars in the NBA get going, there's no stopping them.

06:15You can't stop them.

06:16The Warriors were great defensively against Anthony Edwards out at the three-point line.

06:21They were right there.

06:22He was too good.

06:24How about that Julius Randle turnaround at the end of the shot clock?

06:29Brilliant defense.

06:31Just a chuck.

06:32Eyes closed, chuck up, and hit nothing but the net.

06:36Randle was on.

06:37Yep.

06:37Edwards was on.

06:38They both went 30-plus.

06:41Ain't nothing you could do.

06:42Yeah, I do think, to his point, you got late in that third, early fourth,

06:47and I could kind of see the Dauber was down.

06:49Yeah, they gave up.

06:49Yes, that I agree.

06:51And, you know, Draymond had a couple of chances where the Draymond that I know

06:54would have at least tried to inflict a little something on Rudy Gobert near the rim.

07:00And there was two hoops that Rudy scored in the second half.

07:02One was an alley-oop right over Draymond's head.

07:05The other one, Gobert catches it low block.

07:07And Draymond kind of sidles over to him,

07:10puts an arm into him and one hand up.

07:12The Draymond I know down 15 or 17,

07:15you're going to challenge that a little bit more aggressively.

07:17Yeah, but at the same time,

07:18and I know kind of where you're coming from, don't you think?

07:20I mean, people would have been mad at Draymond in his situation

07:23if he goes out there and does something flagrant or a technical.

07:27I get it.

07:27Like, why?

07:28At that point.

07:29Well, if he thought that the game was still winnable, he would have.

07:32Maybe.

07:33Yeah, maybe.

07:34What I'm perceiving is like, we're down 17.

07:36Let's just get out of here.
