00:00no one wants moral victories in pro sports that's stupid but i'm much more into like the emotional
00:07side of pat spencer i swear to god i would have bet everything i've ever had in my life that this
00:15guy never would have been this kind of a subject on our show yep he has been the number one name
00:21of the week the niners are on by so are all the warrior stars and the best athlete in the bay
00:27is pat spencer what on earth are we doing this is ridiculous but here's here's my thought and i want
00:34to know and i know uh dibs you want to know too i would love to hear like what it is about pat spencer
00:41maybe outside the obvious that sort of caught your attention this week and for me it's the fact that
00:48he's not brandon pajemski and he's not jonathan kaminga and i mean that both literally and
00:52figuratively like i that's that's what this is like this is not just an i i i wonder do you agree
01:01with that i don't think this is just a narrative on how pat is playing and performing i think it is
01:08all it's also a narrative on what the other guys are not doing i guess i think it's a narrative on
01:15three different things and we talked before the show about the big three the middle three and the
01:20little three and so i think that there are three different narratives the big three steph jimmy
01:25and draymond uh hurt and sick hurt and now hurt again and so the big three if they all can play
01:33darn it this team is really good the middle three we'll put aside for a moment and the middle three to
01:38me is moody jk and pods and then the little three is more than three but it's really it's gee
01:45it's quentin it's pat spencer it is anybody else who you don't expect to be anything special so for
01:52me i want to start last night with the little three because the little three which was the
01:57little five that closing lineup was three second round picks and undrafted and buddy healed who was
02:04the number six overall pick about a decade ago that was your closing five and boy they closed they
02:11almost closed the whole thing they were fun they were vibrant they cared they tried they were good
02:17so for me before we get too down the road of like all the middle three which is a problem i do want
02:23to take a moment and just bask in no three because that was fun it was very fun like what an unfortunate
02:30putback for god's sakes oh the chase down block was even worse yeah but i mean like you never should
02:37have been there yeah you never should have been there for a chase down block i hate chase down
02:42blocks lebron had one of those once upon a time yeah like it just that never should have been there
02:47you never should have been trailing you had the game by the you know what's and and okay right it
02:54slipped away by man it it sort of for me it ruined at least a little bit of what you're talking about
03:00i think what you just said that's the whole show today if they just scored one more point than
03:07philly did get the ball inbound just just inbound the ball yep um but they didn't and so it brings up
03:16all of those other juices because i get it like we're watching professional billion dollar industry
03:24sports nobody wants to hear about the plucky little guys who almost won a game
03:30like it's almost nauseating to be honest with you it is well especially considering what this
03:37franchise has been exactly you can be like what's it cost to go to chase center for a game
03:42for family buck 50 just to get in the door okay i'm gonna bring i'm gonna bring three kids or i'm
03:47gonna bring my wife and one of the kids or three whatever what's this gonna cost me a g yep
03:53and g and and we're out here like but but we almost won like it's it's gonna cost you a g
04:00it's a friday it's friday so it's a three thank you just so nobody wants to do that i don't want
04:07to do that if they had won i would do that because you won but you lost you lost so yes what happened
04:16happened it takes nothing away from those five they get all of that credit but i still believe
04:22even in the framework of what you're saying the reason that they were intoxicating last night
04:28is because not just who they are but who they aren't that that's why that was intoxicating
04:35like and by the way real quick i know you want to avoid the middle three for a second yep yep moody's
04:41catching strays today agreed he does not deserve to be in the same sentence with the other two
04:46i agree yeah i mean moses moody wasn't great he wasn't in that closing he went five for ten scored
04:5314 points he started he like and when moody doesn't play well i largely think it's just because
04:58moody didn't play that well today right not because his head is in kalamazoo which is where the other two
05:05are well i mean that's where they are if kalamazoo is where uh coming his agent lives or if they have a
05:11pro team then yeah kalamazoo coming his mind in my opinion is in 41 days from now jk day jan 15
05:20because the way the way i see him playing the way i see him carrying himself he can't wait to again
05:27be out of here and it's i believe six weeks from yesterday is the date so the pods one's a little
05:33bit different for me because i think that he's just i think he's a little bit locked up on like
05:38who am i supposed to be and when he doesn't play the way he should and he doesn't play well
05:43he sat the whole fourth quarter and so i don't know if he's like going in the tank because he's
05:49not playing well and he's not getting minutes and here comes melton and here comes seth and so
05:54he might be going down the rung and you know he got his option picked up for next year but
06:00he's looking at the same situation as kaminga really like if he wants his bag he's got to go out
06:05there and do things yeah but see nobody like that's the problem and i know that that's what
06:10you just said that's a real thing but nobody with the warriors wants like that's not what we're we
06:15want everybody thinking about bag searching yeah what we're doing we tsa but like he's searching
06:20for bags thank you again it's friday so it's the three appreciate it i probably tried too hard
06:25we got a long show but honestly i get that every individual just like draymond said a couple of
06:33weeks ago like everybody wakes up and has an agenda everybody you do i do everybody listening you do too
06:42you've all got goals for the day and things that you want to achieve and there's nothing wrong with
06:48that but the problem is when that agenda then is at odds with what the larger picture is trying to
06:56achieve and right now both of them are doing it and what their reasons are for doing it let me just
07:03sign up for i don't care vill i don't care yeah i don't care what your reasons are i don't care if you
07:09want money i don't care if you want out i don't care if because the big three are out you're the next
07:15two who sort of feel like well that means that we run the show at least temporarily you don't you
07:22don't and and it is just it is a parade of poor decisions and and and both by the way you want the
07:30fun stat for the day in limited minutes for both of them they still both tied to lead the team in
07:37turnovers last night wow how about that i mean it is a parade of poor decision making right now
07:46from both of them and yes probably different scenarios have led each of them to that moment
07:52um is one more forgivable than the other i don't know and again sign me up for i don't care vill on
07:58that it just it can't look like this and if melton and seth curry and will richard and other people
08:06want to come in and play the wings for this team when the top guys are out so be it let let's ride
08:12and yes pat spencer can be your new backup point guard instead of being your third string i guess and
08:18i mean you look at yesterday and i'm not going to excuse steve kerr and you can say what you want
08:23about his rotations and the development of young players or whatever yesterday he played 14 people
08:28in that basketball game and there was no garbage time in that game and i know part of it was that
08:34draymond got hurt he played nine minutes gp2 only played three minutes i don't know if it was just
08:39like it's not your night and you know his little brief three minute stint was all right gary it's
08:44not going to be your night so we're not going to play you but if you take those two out he still
08:49played 12 other people like real legit minutes trace got a little taste but yeah you got to the
08:55fourth quarter and he looked at it it's like all right we're going with this group and the group did
09:00well and he stayed with the group and so that's where i look at the previous game where everyone
09:04was so mad that he pulled out pat this time he didn't he rode that group all the way to the end
