00:00Now, back to Stiney and Guru on 95.7 The Game.
00:04All right, crossover time.
00:06Let's welcome in Dibs and Willard.
00:08Gentlemen, what's going on?
00:09I need some help today.
00:11So do I.
00:12What do you need help?
00:12My man's worried about some things he saw or thought he saw in a preseason game last night.
00:18Oh, really?
00:19Yeah.
00:20Dude.
00:21Their third string.
00:23Let the third string cook 51 points.
00:27Let the third stringers cook.
00:29Here's how I'll answer that one.
00:30What did the Niners do this year in the preseason?
00:32My whole point.
00:33No, do you even remember?
00:35I don't.
00:37Who won those games?
00:38I don't know.
00:39I don't even know.
00:40Yeah.
00:40Well, there you go.
00:41It's my point.
00:42That's what I'm trying to tell you.
00:43Which preseason is less important, baseball, basketball, or football?
00:48Like, which one is the least important?
00:50Are you talking about outcomes or performances?
00:53No, just the overall experience of what it is.
00:56Baseball is the most important.
00:58I believe that.
00:58I think we all agree.
00:59I think.
01:00Because, I mean, Logan Webb can go out there and throw 48 pitches and give up eight runs,
01:04and who cares?
01:05That's an actual fine-tuning that's going on.
01:09Sure.
01:09And you get to look at youngsters and see what they're going to be.
01:13People are competing for actual spots where they will contribute.
01:17Okay.
01:17You all right?
01:18What's the matter?
01:18Yeah, I just want to lean back, and I forgot I leaned back.
01:21I mean, that's huge.
01:21I'm fat, Joe.
01:22Yeah, I'm fat.
01:24Second most important or second least important?
01:28NFL.
01:29Yeah, no doubt about it.
01:30NFL.
01:30Their practices are really the games.
01:33Yeah.
01:33And the least important would be the association.
01:36NBA.
01:36Or do we think?
01:38Because it's real short.
01:39I'm telling you, I'm not a Dr. Div, but I patted myself on the back.
01:43Nobody knows why these guys are suffering these Achilles injuries.
01:47You think it's because you just have a short camp and preseason and then start it.
01:51I'm just saying.
01:51Oh, no.
01:52I'm just saying.
01:53Was it Doc Pandia that told us that the emergence of, what do they call it?
01:58That little hop step move?
02:00It's a negative step.
02:02Yeah.
02:03Negative step.
02:04I can't do it when I play, but the youngsters do.
02:06I'm getting back.
02:06Well, it's a travel is what it's called.
02:08We used to call it travel.
02:10But not if you're about to put the ball on the ground.
02:13It's a split step.
02:14If I get the travel.
02:15Both feet are leaving the ground, and then they both come down on the ground.
02:18I know that is travel, but yes.
02:20Well, only if you have the two feet land simultaneously.
02:24I don't want to get all too rough on you, but what it is is a negative step where you have
02:28the ball, and you split your feet, and the one foot goes back, and you push off that foot.
02:34It's Tatum and Halliburton.
02:35It was both the exact same move.
02:36Dre Greenlaw.
02:37Doc was saying that, man.
02:39I mean, that's kind of a newer move, and it seems to be snapping Achilles.
02:46Yep.
02:47Kobe Bryant, if you want to go back to his Achilles.
02:49Was that the same move?
02:50I believe he planted his foot backward, and then you throw the ball up, and then that's
02:55going to be about it.
02:57It's not a natural explosive movement for your leg.
03:01Like, most explosive movements are going forward, right?
03:04Or at least going sideways, and these ones are going backward, where you split it, and
03:09you plant it, and you try to push off that.
03:11You're putting your entire body weight essentially on that Achilles.
03:15Hot.
03:16Yeah.
03:16So, anyway.
03:18There you go.
03:18Can I get...
03:19This is stupid, and I would never do this except for it has a niner kind of a tinge to it,
03:25which is why I'll do it on the air.
03:27Plus, I'm 0-5, so who gives a rip?
03:29So, I'll ask you guys.
03:31You're all in the league.
03:31Yeah.
03:32I'm 3-2.
03:33Should I start Jackson Dart tonight, or should I wait and start Mac Jones against the Buccaneers
03:43this weekend?
03:44And I'm being real with you, because I want you to win.
03:46Mac Jones, and we had Sean King on, former NFL quarterback.
03:49You saw what Seattle did, scoring 35 points, I believe, against that Tampa Bay defense.
03:53Tampa Bay's given up a lot of points.
03:54That's just me, and you got Kyle calling the plays.
03:57I'm just saying.
03:58Dibs in the bathroom said Jackson Dart.
04:00What would you say, Stiney?
04:01I think I'd say Mac Jones.
04:03Okay.
04:04Anybody else who's in the league?
04:05None of them are watching.
04:07You know what?
04:08Hi, guys.
04:10Anyway, go ahead.
04:10The Giants may score 40 tonight.
04:12Who knows?
04:13I do think the NFL's the kind of game where narratives, like you can kind of figure out a game by the
04:20narrative.
04:21And I think the Eagles now have heard, oh, this team's in trouble, and nobody likes each other.
04:27We're coming off of a loss.
04:28Yeah, I think they're probably going to win the game tonight.
04:31Obviously, and maybe their defense will make some plays in that game.
04:36So, that's why I would pick Mac Jones.
04:37Okay.
04:38Yeah.
04:39That was my mean also, but not for smart reasons.
04:44Because nothing worse than Thursday, and then he does nothing, and you got to sit with it
04:47three days.
04:48I'm like, why did that wait?
04:49No, but I love having my favorite team's quarterback in fantasy.
04:55There's nothing better.
04:56Because I don't need to work.
04:57You know what I mean?
04:57When we do this, like even if you're a Niner fan, if you got McCaffrey on your team, kind
05:01of hoping he scores the touchdown.
05:03When you have the quarterback, you don't care.
05:05It's like, throw it to that Tonjes guy.
05:10That works too.
05:11So, it's kind of fun.
05:12It's interesting, and I respect the answers, because Tampa Bay is No. 5 in yards per carry
05:18allowed.
05:19As a run defense, they're not as good against the pass, but I'm thinking about Seattle last
05:23week, and Jackson Smith Njigba, 8 for 132.
05:28He's elite.
05:29He is, man.
05:30He's a good player.
05:31He did it against...
05:32He is good.
05:32Cooper Kopp, also elite.
05:34Yep.
05:346 for 59.
05:35Used to be, but yeah, he's good.
05:36Well, I mean, he didn't have to be elite.
05:39I mean, he still is a...
05:40He's not Puken Okua, but he's top 20.
05:43He's probably better than any receiver the Niners will have, going out there.
05:47Cooper Kopp on this week.
05:48Put up 10 for 142.
05:49Fine.
05:50Yes.
05:50And then you've got A.J. Barner, who's probably still better than Jake Tonjes.
05:53As much as you want to love Tonjes, so you could look at Tampa's defense and say, oh
05:58boy, they got gashed against the pass, and they kind of did, but the Niners will roll
06:03out Tonjes and MVS and...
06:07Looks like Jennings might play.
06:08He practiced today.
06:09Oh, okay.
06:10Because I'm one in and one off.
06:11Juwan's a maybe.
06:12Sure.
06:12Yeah.
06:12Juwan for, you know, maybe 28 snaps.
06:15And Ricky hasn't ruled it out.
06:16Is Ricky going to play?
06:17No.
06:18It doesn't sound like it.
06:18No.
06:18It doesn't sound like it.
06:19No.
06:19It doesn't.
06:20But he hasn't given up hope.
06:21But what about McCaffrey?
06:22Yeah, McCaffrey's great.
06:24Great in the pass game.
06:25Not so great in the run game.
06:27Shotsky texted in.
06:28Hi, Joe.
06:28He's listening.
06:29He likes Mac Jones.
06:30Okay, yeah.
06:31Look at Joe.
06:32Yeah, and what's his record in the fantasy league?
06:34Also not good, but he, boy, he put...
06:36I'm sending out trades to everybody.
06:38Everybody's ignoring me.
06:39I need a running back.
06:40You didn't send me a trade?
06:41Maybe you don't have any good plays.
06:42Yeah, yeah.
06:43I didn't want to...
06:44I've got three running backs better than anyone you have.
06:48All right.
06:48Look at Grady.
06:49Get with him.
06:50I'm going to be in the lab.
06:50Grady, would you start Mac Jones or Jackson Dart?
06:55Oh, probably Mac Jones.
06:57Yeah.
06:57All right.
06:57There it is.
06:58Did you guys hit the beginning of the show?
07:01Probably not.
07:01Well, I lost it.
07:02I just saw on our text thread that you lost it.
07:06And I didn't get a chance to go back and hear it.
07:09Apparently, you lost it in...
07:11Not in a unique way, but you lost it on somebody.
07:15Somebody was catching strays.
07:16Because he's a friend of my son's, and I like Pods.
07:19I like everything that he's done here.
07:20And I know he catches strays.
07:21Oh, he ain't this.
07:22He's not that.
07:23But I do know the enigma that is Jonathan Kaminga comes with him saying at a juncture
07:30he wanted to be an all-star.
07:32And I feel like I've lived working at this station, people calling in, holding that against
07:37him.
07:38And then Pods...
07:39Against J.K.?
07:39Yeah, that's how I see it, okay?
07:42He's selfish, you know?
07:43That's what I said.
07:43So Nick Ferdale, our own Nick Ferdale, had a sit-down with Pods, and he said, you know,
07:48at some juncture he wants to gain the trust of Curry and Draymond to where they'd go to
07:53the owner, and maybe...
07:54And I'm paraphrasing...
07:55Should I read it real quick?
07:56Yeah, please do.
07:56No, I saw everybody...
07:57Yeah, let's make sure our listeners have heard what he said.
07:59This is according to Pajemski.
08:01When they leave...
08:01This is Brandon Pajemski.
08:02When they leave this thing, meaning the veterans on the Warriors, they gotta leave it with somebody.
08:07How can I have their trust?
08:09And they can go to owner Joe Lacob and general manager Mike Dunleavy and be like, hey, we
08:14want to leave it with him.
08:16He's going to continue what we're leaving.
08:18So I think about that all the time, and I set myself up in that position to have that.
08:23And there's a lot of other things than just skill that you need to be in that position.
08:27Yeah, I...
08:28And Will, I would just...
08:29And I love the kid, but who's going to tell him?
08:32What do you mean who's going to tell him?
08:32Nobody needs to go tell the owner who's getting the keys.
08:35Goats are not announced.
08:36They just arrive.
08:38Well, he asked, how can I be that guy?
08:39He didn't say, I'm that guy.
08:41But you're lobbying for something that will come natural if you're that dude, and you're
08:45not the face of the franchise, unless you're that talent, that one, and that's all I would
08:50So I would love to, and we probably will explore later today, what it is about Brandon Pajemski
08:57that gets under people's skin.
09:00A lot...
09:01You don't get under mine.
09:02I just...
09:02I love him.
09:03My kids, I want them to think like that, but don't voice it.
09:07Okay, that's one way.
09:07And it might look bad to Dibs.
09:09It might look bad to your teammates.
09:10It looks like you're thinking about...
09:11And the OGs ain't even left yet.
09:13See, but I thought that was a pretty...
09:15I get what you're saying.
09:16I thought it was a pretty respectful way to do it.
09:19Could you argue he shouldn't say it out loud?
09:21That's all my thing is!
09:22You could argue that, but then again, I mean, coming from four people who say everything
09:27out loud for a living, I don't know.
09:30Like, I just...
09:31I feel like there's a double standard, Will.
09:33Kamingo wants to be an all-star, and he's slayed over the rocks.
09:36No.
09:36Oh, he's selfish.
09:38No, no, no.
09:38And then, you know, Potts have thoughts of life without Curry and Dre, who ain't left yet.
09:42Master your craft.
09:44I don't think anybody holds it against anybody for wanting to be an all-star.
09:48I don't see anybody as having a problem with Jonathan about wanting to be or even thinking
09:54he will be an all-star.
09:56BP told us over a year ago he wants to be the face of the Warriors.
10:01Yeah.
10:01That's a way bigger statement than what Stiney just read.
10:05So, what are we accusing all of them of?
10:08Arrogance?
10:09Hello?
10:09They're professional basketball players.
10:11I think more guys in the league think this way than we realize.
10:15It's just a matter of, A, who voices it, and then, B, maybe the bigger thing, how do you
10:20go about doing it?
10:22If you're saying, this is my goal once they leave, and I want to learn how to go about
10:30doing that, okay, that's one thing.
10:32I think, and it's, again, I'll agree with you, if anyone has been bothered by Kaminga, he very
10:40much has not grabbed a microphone and yelled at.
10:42That's what Stiney was pointing out.
10:44But what he has done is, behind the scenes, that thought has very much been thrown out
10:50by his agent on your show and others, and the accusation would be is, instead of saying
10:56it into a microphone, he just goes on the court and does it, seemingly maybe against the
11:01will of what his coach and team are.
11:04That came up today.
11:04Right?
11:05So, look, they're all, I think, this way.
11:10They're all, great, great.
11:11And you should, it's why he's running the team now, Dibs.
11:16I will give him an award.
11:17We got into the smarts of, I said, that's what has Pajemski in the spot that he's in
11:22now.
11:23So I'm not hating on the kid.
11:24But I just think, even with your teammates, the fans, and he was asked a question, but when
11:29you say it, how it comes off to me, I'm like, do you got your priorities in, are
11:35you focused on the right thing?
11:36And then the real right on the table brought to you by Adco, face of the franchises are
11:41the dudes, Willard, Dibs, those are the guys, and you're a sound player, but you ain't that.
11:48Right, and I'm just stuck on what he actually said, which is, I want to be.
11:53I want to earn that.
11:55He wants to be that, and for me, that is incredible.
11:58He's not saying that, oh, I'm going to be that, and I'm two years away from being that.
12:03He's saying, I want to be that, I want to earn that, and so for me, I hear that, and
12:08I think, you know what, great.
12:09That's what I want to hear from everybody.
12:11I want to hear all these players say, when Steph and Draymond and Jimmy are all gone,
12:16I want to be in a spot where I've earned that.
12:19And if you're pods, and you play great for another year, at the end of year three, you
12:23probably get a contract extension, maybe not, like Kaminga did not, and then you get into
12:28that spot where you're going to be a future warrior, and I was doing this earlier, looking
12:32at every other team in the Western Conference, and their, quote, younger core, and Mark doesn't
12:39like this, because Mark likes to stay in the moment, and I get that, but if you go around
12:43the Western Conference, there aren't too many teams that have a worse, younger core than
12:49the Warriors.
12:49So, pods might be that guy, but if pods is that guy, you're going to be 18 and 64.
12:57And that was my, and that's why, and I'll give it to you, Stani, that's why this Kaminga
13:00on this day, if I could just say it hasn't worked out in year four going into five, hurt
13:05so much as a diehard warrior fan, is I think this dude is so talented, I'm not taking onus
13:10off of him, but it hurts that he is not that just, oh my gosh, we got this guy, maybe not
13:17the one, 1A2, but that's what hurts.
13:19You're listening to 95.7 The Game, KGM, ZFM, and HD1 San Francisco, and Odyssey Sports Station,
13:25always live on the free Odyssey app, and now broadcasting from the Laughing Monk studios.
13:30What they have in common, is they both think they're better than they are.
13:36But that's okay, I like that.
13:38Right, and they handle it differently.
13:40Pods goes out and talks, and makes it clear he thinks he's better than he is.
13:46I believe Kaminga does that in a different kind of way, probably, and in closed spaces,
13:56but I don't think one, like, I don't, like, I never once thought Kaminga was an attitude
14:03problem.
14:03Nope.
14:04Or, I don't like.
14:05I don't think BP is either.
14:06No, I don't either.
14:08Yeah.
14:08I mean, but, like, Kaminga's in a bad spot.
14:13Actually, if you look at the four years, he's handled it pretty good.
14:18He has.
14:18All things considered.
14:20He really has.
14:21So, I mean, like, my God, he's really, really handled it well in a way that has, like, not
14:28disrupted a locker room and all of those things.
14:32He's never.
14:33I know there's been passive stuff to Shams and all of that, but there's never been a
14:37moment where Jonathan has done anything where you would consider it disruptive or in the
14:43opposite direction of the team, and I think the same thing about BP.
14:46We just talked about BP.
14:48You asked real quick whether Y gets under everybody's skin.
14:51Some people feel like he's getting a scholarship.
14:53I say he's earned everything he's gotten.
14:55The charges are part of it.
14:57He rebounds.
14:58He out-rebounds Kaminga.
14:59How does that happen?
15:00But Stiney said to me the reason he's on the court as much as he is is they're kind of
15:04like Nagar position to where there's a line with the forward, but that still doesn't
15:09take away pods, taking advantage of an opportunity to be out there with Steph, Dre, and Kerr watching
15:15and not mess it up.
15:17I've got to give you love for that.
15:19Your stat yesterday for the top, the three on-court groups of three, he was in four of
15:26the top six?
15:27Correct.
15:27Four of the top seven of three-man combinations, and that's what Steve Kerr has always said.
15:31If you look at Brandon Pajemski, he can play with Draymond and Jimmy.
15:37He can play with Steph and Draymond.
15:38He can play with TJD.
15:40I've got to give him love for that, man.
15:41Right.
15:42He's a connector.
15:42Now, being a connector, does that mean that you're going to be the face of the franchise?
15:46Of course not.
15:47And he's not saying that he is or he's going to be.
15:50All I heard him say is he wants to be.
15:53He wants to be, in two years or three years, he wants to be that guy.
15:58And when I heard or I read the quote, I'm like, you know what?
16:00Great.
16:01That's what I want to hear him say.
16:03And TJD, you can't say that because you won't be.
16:06And Moses Moody, you're not that kind of guy.
16:09And Jonathan Kaminga, you're probably going to be elsewhere.
16:12And Guy Santos is still trying to figure his way out.
16:15And so, if you look at the other youngsters on this team, there's nobody else who is going
16:21to be here and might be poised to possibly be that guy.
16:24Guys, the Lakers announced that Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James will be re-evaluated
16:37in approximately three to four weeks for Syattica on his right side, which means he will be missing
16:43opening night versus the Warriors.
16:45Wow.
16:46LeBron's out.
16:47Right.
16:47He's 41.
16:48No doubt.
16:49He's catching up to him.
16:50Anybody in here not 41 yet?
16:51Wow.
16:52I'm not 41.
16:53Check in July.
16:54He's on the Cadillac.
16:55Yeah.
16:55Syattica's called Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
17:00He's an old guy.
17:01Wow.
17:02Yes.
17:02Welcome to being over 40.
17:04Syattica's a part of life now.
17:06But yeah.
17:07Bummer for the Lakers.
17:08That stinks for opening night, isn't it?
17:09Yeah.
17:10He actually hasn't turned 41 until December.
17:12I'm more...
17:13I'm in the rounding.
17:15He's a man.
17:16He's 40.
17:16I'm far more interested in Dibs' stat that he gave before the Narcissist News.
17:24Narcissist.
17:24Wow.
17:25So, Dibs.
17:26Pods.
17:26Yes.
17:27Three-man units.
17:28Pods is...
17:30Let me pull it up right here just to be...
17:32Most of all, in the top...
17:33Because all of the top three.
17:34Okay.
17:35And all of the top three.
17:36Well, he's actually...
17:37Smart study.
17:37Here's the way I looked at it.
17:38Imagine what you told me yesterday.
17:39He was number four, number five, and number six.
17:42But...
17:42Wait.
17:43Here's the way...
17:44Hold on.
17:44Stand by.
17:45That's not what you told me yesterday.
17:45No, he was one, two, three, and six.
17:47There you go.
17:48That's what you told me yesterday.
17:48He's plus minus.
17:49Yes.
17:50Four of the top six.
17:51Now, who's going to say...
17:52Three of the top three.
17:52That's unfair.
17:54But that right there is proof they've got to get better.
18:01Because for Brandon Podjemski to be in the top three three-man groups,
18:07that tells me that once you get behind Curry, Draymond, and Steph,
18:14are you telling me Podjemski's the guy you absolutely have to have on the floor?
18:19That's what Steve Kerr's saying.
18:21But I can't fault pots for that, okay?
18:23No, but that's a problem.
18:24But it also is an example of how smart he is, Stiney.
18:27I don't think he's smart.
18:28I don't think he's a smart player.
18:29Why is that a problem when they went to the...
18:32They were one of the last eight teams playing.
18:34And if they didn't lose their star, they might have been one of the last four teams playing.
18:38You don't think he's a smart player?
18:39No, you haven't got into it.
18:41I don't think he's high IQ.
18:43I want to hear what that observation is.
18:47Like, what do you see?
18:48Well, first of all, the thing we've been talking about...
18:52Now, you may look at it differently.
18:53The thing that we're talking about, the bottom line is,
18:57we're looking at a player that thinks he's better than he is.
19:01And that's the first step toward what I'm getting at.
19:06That's why, one of the reasons he's not as smart player is because he tries to do too much.
19:11He just dribbles into...
19:13But obviously not with that stat, though, Stiney.
19:16And I didn't even need the stat, but that's a factoid to where you've got to put some respect on...
19:20First of all, I don't have to do anything.
19:22But you know what I mean.
19:23I've given him plenty of respect.
19:24I just don't know what you're saying.
19:26Like, I don't...
19:28Like, how...
19:29He's not...
19:29They have two Hall of Famers that play forward.
19:32That's why Kaminga's not playing.
19:34They've got Curry in the backcourt.
19:37That's it.
19:38That's a big reason Pods is playing.
19:40But if he wasn't smart enough to not know to mess it up or enhance it...
19:42He might just be the only guy who could be there.
19:45But I think that's unfair to Pods, though.
19:47Well, I think if you're going to play Pods 28 minutes a game, you're not going to win.
19:51He's out there.
19:52And they won last year, Stiney.
19:54They did?
19:54And they're going to win more at a higher clip this year.
19:56Well, it sounds like you're really hot.
19:59I'm not.
20:00I know he's a flawed player, too.
20:02But I'm not going to rob him of what he's done to be out on the floor with the responsibilities
20:06with a Hall of Fame coach, Steph Dre, all the...
20:10Every opportunity to mess it up.
20:12And he has it.
20:13And then Dibs comes with...
20:14Like, we can play with everybody else.
20:16I mean, I just look at the actual numbers.
20:18And, like, the No. 1 three-man combo last year, by plus-minus per 100 possessions, which
20:25is, you know, it's a thing.
20:27Curry, Moody, and Pods.
20:28No. 2, Butler, Curry, and Pods.
20:31No. 3, Butler, Green, and Pods.
20:34So, Pods with Moody and Steph.
20:36Okay, great, Steph.
20:37But, hey, Moody.
20:38And then Pods with Steph and Jimmy.
20:41Pods with Draymond and Jimmy.
20:43So, Pods, to me, just looking at the numbers, and maybe he's not a smart player, those
20:47are not my words, but he does well with Curry and Moody, he does well with Butler, he does
20:51well with Draymond, he does well with a lot of different guys.
20:54I think it's hard to not be a smart player to succeed the way he has, and short on athletic
21:00ability.
21:01That's all.
21:01You know what I mean?
21:02Like, I'm not saying...
21:04I don't think...
21:04Like, I'm not calling him brilliant.
21:06My point is this.
21:07But, like, my point is this.
21:09I think people are sensitive when we talk about Jonathan Kaminga's IQ, basketball IQ,
21:15and I just made a point, I don't make a big differentiation between Kaminga and Pods
21:20in terms of their basketball IQ.
21:21That's fine.
21:22I really don't.
21:23That's fine.
21:23I don't think...
21:24I think either.
21:24I think both of them got a long way to go.
21:26I think...
21:26But one has fit in way more than the other.
21:28Right, because he's had a better opportunity, because they don't have as good of guards as
21:33they do as forwards.
21:34That's probably...
21:34There's probably some validity to that, but there's also validity to one is...
21:39is doing more of what the organization is asking them to do than the other one.
21:43No doubt.
21:44That's all.
21:44I mean, look, I don't even really care if both of them think that they're better than
21:49they are.
21:49I'd like to find...
21:50I think most NBA players probably think they're better than they actually are.
21:55I mean, how many point guards in the league do you think they're the best point guard
21:58in the league?
21:59All of them.
21:59But there's, like, at least half of them.
22:02But, like, and this is interesting.
22:04I think you're right.
22:05And there's three guys on this team that I actually think think they're better than
22:09they are.
22:10Well, more than that, probably.
22:12Pods.
22:13Okay, how does he handle it?
22:14He wants to be the face of the franchise.
22:16I don't know what he's doing.
22:17I think Kaminga thinks he's better than...
22:20And he's tend to be a little more...
22:22You know, he did it his way.
22:23But his actions...
22:25But you know who else thinks he should have been playing more?
22:27Moses Moody.
22:28Yep.
22:28And he handled it the way he handled it for four years.
22:32You know what I mean?
22:32So, like, everybody handles it differently.
22:34Trace Jackson Davis is on our show talking about how difficult it has been to get DNPs.
22:39They all want to play.
22:41Yep.
22:41They all think that they should be playing.
22:44At no other point in their careers have they not been that dude.
22:48They're NBA players.
22:50Like, I mean, the other side of this, and I know nobody really wants to go here, this
22:55is the real unfortunate part of this.
22:57Because these two players have been pitted against one another by a portion of the fan
23:01base.
23:02That's what I think is the absolute tragedy.
23:05And one doesn't have to do with the other and far position.
23:09We end up in this conversation where now we're pointing arrows at them because they feel
23:14they're better than they are.
23:16Ooh, that's terrible.
23:18Like, do you all think Mac Jones and Brock Purdy are actually super-duper rooting for each
23:24other?
23:24I got news for you.
23:26They're not.
23:26Mac, they want to play.
23:28They want to play.
23:30They all want to play.
23:31They all kind of on the down low.
23:33You think Adrian Martinez wasn't hoping that Mac, that cramp really, really hurt?
23:37Yes.
23:38They want to play.
23:39They want that shot.
23:41They all, that's who they are.
23:43And I don't think there's anything nefarious about that at all.
23:47I don't know why the Kaminga story, quite frankly, has taken off the way it has through
23:52the years.
23:52And I don't know why Brandon became the face of the opposition.
23:56But, like, I think this whole fan base has got an exercise and an assignment before
24:01the season starts.
24:02People feel like Brandon's getting a scholarship at Kaminga to me.
24:04Right.
24:05But, like, you know.
24:05And Brandon last year, throughout the totality of the season was a plus 259.
24:10I can't argue that.
24:11And Moses Moody was a plus 132.
24:14And Kaminga was a plus 6.
24:17And this is for the collective.
24:19And I know plus minus is a very small stat.
24:21But when you look at the whole season and you look at that, and yeah, Brandon benefited
24:25by playing with great players.
24:27But Kaminga did too when he was out there.
24:29I think everybody, we'd all do ourselves a favor if we prepared ourselves in a week
24:39and a half to, if you're a Warrior fan, I'm not going to pretend to be.
24:43Where are you going?
24:44Root for people who have jerseys.
24:45Oh, no, right.
24:46And we'll worry about February after the new year.
24:50Just real quick, Stiney, before you leave, which team, a little trivia for you.
24:53I asked our group, and nobody answered, which team in the association has the most players
25:00on their roster born in the 1980s?
25:05That's old, right?
25:07Well, 1989 would mean you are 36.
25:10Yeah, roughly 36.
25:12Most on the roster.
25:14I got it.
25:14I got the answer.
25:15You wouldn't be asking.
25:16No, I got the answer.
25:17That's too easy.
25:18I think it's the Clippers.
25:18But it's the easiest answer to get me out of here fast.
25:20I think it's the Clippers.
25:22I'll go with Charlotte.
25:24Points to Guru.
25:26Man, that's the Clippers.
25:27Hell yeah.
25:28Man, my man.
25:29Lopez, Harden, Chris Paul, still playing basketball.
25:34Damn.
25:34Yeah, see, it's too early in the season to even know that Lopez is on the Clippers.
25:39I haven't, like, I forgot.
25:40I forgot that.
25:42I think they play tonight.
25:44Do they?
25:45Tomorrow morning.
25:45I don't even know what the trade difference is.
25:47Whatever.
25:47Whatever.
25:48And Kawhi, there's one other Clipper.
25:51I don't have it in front of me, but Guru, look at you.
25:53Probably Bradley Beal now.
25:55Maybe.
25:56Is he on the Clippers?
25:58The Clippers are sneaky.
26:00All right, guys.
26:01I'm writing a little differently today.
26:03What's that?
26:03Go Green Wave.
26:05Oh, yeah.
