00:00Even just talking about the profane.
00:02How about this?
00:02And because our Boxer and Grossman Work Injury Attorney's text line is on overdrive right now.
00:07408, Kerr's more of a diplomat.
00:09He's not an actual coach.
00:11Okay.
00:13Okay, four championships.
00:16Managing egos that you can't even quantify.
00:21Like, does he have great players?
00:23Yeah, so do all of the championship coaches.
00:27All of them.
00:28All of them.
00:30I mean, like, does the Thunder coach not have great players?
00:35Is Nikola Jokic, is he not a great player?
00:39That doesn't exist.
00:41Well, and what is coaching at that level?
00:43So he's got the front row coaches, including Terry Stotts and Jerry Stackhouse and Ron Adams,
00:49and I think Bruce Frazier's a front row guy.
00:52Then you've got your second row coaches, where you've got five or six other guys.
00:56You've got a training staff.
00:57You've got an analytic staff.
00:59You've got a video room.
01:00So Steve Kerr is not like I was in high school as a high school coach, where it was just me.
01:06I had no assistant.
01:07And you're running practice.
01:09You're making the schedule.
01:10You're doing everything.
01:11Steve Kerr is the CEO of the coaching staff.
01:13So to think he's not coaching, I think, is really short-sighted as far as what these people actually do.
01:19It's disrespectful.
01:21Yeah, somewhat.
01:21Yeah.
01:22And I don't, again...
01:23Well, he is a diplomat.
01:24And that's part of his job as a coach.
01:26He is very, very good at a conversation.
01:30He's good at a podium.
01:31He's good on our show.
01:33So, yes, Steve is good at that.
01:36Does that shape the way some feel about him, good or bad?
01:39There's probably no question.
01:41There's no question.
01:42But here's something.
01:43I love this.
01:45This is a great text that just came in.
01:47And I want to respond to it.
01:49Thank you very much to, let's see, to do, what area code?
01:54650.
01:55650 says, I don't know why you guys are surprised.
02:00Fans have acted the same way towards Shanahan for years.
02:04And he hasn't even won any championships.
02:06So maybe that could be a justification.
02:08But Bay Area fans have become so fickle.
02:11Do you agree with that?
02:13Has Kyle Shanahan brought about the same reaction that Steve Kerr currently is?
02:18I will raise my hand and go, no.
02:20I would say absolutely.
02:21I don't think so at all.
02:24Why do you think that this sounds the same?
02:26Because everyone talks about Shanahan's arrogance and his ego
02:30and the fact that he's a great play caller.
02:33He's a glorified offensive coordinator.
02:35He doesn't know the overtime rules.
02:38And, you know, he falls in love with certain plays.
02:41And he can't win the big one.
02:42Yeah, but those are regular-sounding criticisms to me.
02:45The Steve Kerr stuff has, like, it's touched people in an angry place.
02:52The Kyle Shanahan thing is, yeah, like you just said.
02:56I don't even, I don't like the arrogance.
02:58Boy, somehow they called him a genius.
03:00He's not a genius.
03:01And then there's the whole what's he won thing.
03:03Yeah.
03:04Well, Steve's won four.
03:05Right.
03:06And I can't.
03:06Well, Steve's won four.
03:07And he's been just on the bench for four.
03:09Right, right.
03:10And that's, you know, I'm being sarcastic, but I'm representing that fan base.
03:14He's just Santa Claus along for the ride.
03:18Yeah.
03:18And all the reindeer are doing it.
03:20Rolling the ball out.
03:21Exactly.
03:22Like, I mean, there's a piece of that that has some validity to it.
03:28When you have the best team, you don't automatically win the title.
03:31So, like, Mark Dagnall right now in Oklahoma City, they have the best team.
03:36And they won it last year.
03:37So, now, if he doesn't win it again this year, is he all of a sudden not a good coach?
03:41Well, and I would argue that two of the four championships, people did not think they were the best team.
03:46And they did win them.
03:47Well, the first year they went 67-15.
03:50I know, but people were still surprised because they were babies.
03:52Yeah.
03:53They were pups in the whole process.
03:54And three years ago, three and a half years ago, they definitely held they were underdogs in the damn finals.
04:00So, like, I don't know how you can sort of skirt credit for all of that.
04:06But that's not even what I'm getting at.
04:08I'm not telling you you have to love Steve Kerr and all the moves he makes.
04:11I just don't.
04:13I don't know how we got here.
04:15This Kaminga slash Pods thing is at the center of it.
04:18And it has hit so many of you on a personal level that we have moved beyond whether or not you think he's a great coach or the right coach.
04:27And we've gotten to, I hate him.
04:32You can see, it's everywhere.
04:34It's everywhere.
04:36And I do not get that.
04:39And I will firmly say that I have never in my life as a fan seen a multi-championship coach sort of bring about this reaction from his own fan base.
04:52I've never seen anything like this.
04:53I don't know if I have.
04:54And part of it is the sign of the time.
04:56Shout out, Prince.
04:57And I'm looking at the responses to your tweet from 1251 today.
05:02Fire away.
05:03At Mark underscore T underscore Willard.
05:05Unnecessary underscores.
05:06But I don't want to get into that here because we're on a roll.
05:08It was unnecessary.
05:09Your tweet.
05:10The Kerr disrespect on this app is wild.
05:13Talk to you shortly at 957 The Game.
05:15And you have, at this point, 30 replies, including somebody saying, it's not disrespect.
05:23You media people are just catching up to the real convos that fans have been having.
05:29And I don't think that we're just catching up.
05:31But I do think that that comment hit me because the real convos that fans are having.
05:36And I believe that fans are having these convos.
05:40But I don't, personally, I don't see the problems with the Warriors right now as all roads leading
05:48to Steve Kerr.
05:49Are his rotations wonky and off?
05:52Absolutely.
05:53Could he have done a better job of, quote, developing the younger players?
05:58Sure.
05:58I think that that's part of it.
05:59But if you want to go ahead and rank the problems with his team right now, I got Steve
06:06Kerr as a coach at about maybe sixth.
06:10On my list.
06:11I could, I could write off an easy five before that.
06:14Oh, for sure.
06:15And so, yes, these are the convos that fans have been having.
06:20And I get that.
06:21But a lot of that is just, it's an easy target.
06:23Yeah.
06:24Well, and by the way, all of those responses that you're reading, um, well, actually, I
06:30guess probably you can, you can probably still see all of them.
06:33Yep.
06:34Yeah.
06:34At least two or three of them have led to blocks.
06:36Oh, because we're, yeah.
06:38Like, I, I don't mind disagreement.
06:41I welcome it.
06:42It's, it's absolutely what makes our, our business go, but when there's one for you, man, Steve
06:48Kerr plays Bay area media, like a fiddle.
06:51And I don't even mind that you're a fiddle.
06:53But when you start saying that we're all, you know, oh, everybody's bleep writing and
06:58we're like, like when you start, when it gets profane, when it gets to name calling, I don't
07:03know who's got time for this.
07:05I don't need to read this.
07:07Like, what are we doing here?
07:10Honestly.
07:11So that's all.
07:12I, I just think that we've gotten completely out of hand with, with a coach who, you know,
07:19my, my sort of definition in, in the sports world, when somebody achieves at a really,
07:26really high level, even when I don't agree with what they're doing, my first thought is,
07:31huh, I wonder why they're doing that.
07:34Like, I, I give them a little like, boy, I, I'm not going to just fully say they're right,
07:40but I'm going to give them a little space because they've kind of proven that they know what
07:44the hell they're doing.
07:46It's resume.
07:47Has Steve Kerr not proven through how many years now?
07:51We're 12, 11 playoff appearances.
07:53He's not proven winning records rather.
07:55It doesn't make him right every time.
07:57That's not what I'm saying.
07:58But has he proven that he's not a moron, that he's not an absolute moron figurehead?
08:06And the point that I really want to drive home that I said earlier, but which I'll never
08:10get, don't you all understand that Steph Curry has greenlit every single thing that's happened
08:15in this organization and does not want anyone other than Steve Kerr coaching him.
08:20And that's what I really don't get because everyone loves Steph, but right now everyone's
08:25mad at Steve and they're completely joined at the hip.
08:28And I don't know how you can criticize one and not the other.
08:31And when Steph misses nine games, I guess that's Steve's fault.
08:35He doesn't have his best player because he's almost 38 years old and he's unable to be healthy
08:40enough to play all 27.
08:42Here's one for you from at chase C3 HD.
08:47He's a blanking clown.
08:48Don't be an idiot.
08:49Don't be a idiot.
08:51I'm sorry.
08:52I didn't mean to clean up your grammar.
08:54He's a blanking clown.
08:56Don't be a idiot.
08:57Yeah.
08:5812 seasons, four titles, 11 seasons with a winning record.
09:02He's a blanking clown.
09:04Don't be a idiot.
09:06All right.
09:06We have a bunch of people want to talk about it.
09:08I mean, bring along.
09:10Let's go.
09:11Make sure you use your Twitter handle when you join us.
09:14That way I can search up your history.
09:17Robin in the city.
09:18Hi, Robin.
09:19Thank you for calling.
09:20What's up?
09:22I just want to say this might be a little harsh and y'all might disagree with me, but
09:26the Warrior fans are just basically immature little kids.
09:30And the fact of the matter is, if you ever want to measure anything in life, you measure
09:35the results.
09:36And based off the results, Steve Kerr has been excellent.
09:39He's not above criticism, but you have to look at the results.
09:43That's how you measure things because based on the results, they don't lie.
09:46So I don't think that, and then, and then again, we got, we got a trash roster outside
09:52the usual suspects of Dre.
09:54And I'm not going to say buttless trash.
09:58Maybe it doesn't work at times, but all the rest of them are poopy in them in the peanut
10:02gallery.
10:04You need talent to win.
10:06And the once in a lifetime dream of developing a staff and a dream on and Curry, it's still
10:15and far between.
10:17And so I think a lot of our fans need to get their head out in between the butts.
10:22And then also look at the talent around the league and the number of garbage with Curry
10:29doesn't play or Anthony is boring.
10:31And I don't see no great talent coming out of college either.
10:34I mean, you can't work a miracle.
10:37Okay.
10:38That's all I got to say before I really get mad.
10:40Bye guys.
10:41Robin.
10:42Happy holidays.
10:43Yeah, absolutely.
10:44I mean, that sounds like more of a gripe with the entire NBA and the whole process.
10:50Analytics have turned the league into this, that, the other, the process of coming out
10:53of college basketball.
10:55Nobody is refined anymore when they get to the league.
10:57It leads to a style of play that for a lot of fans, I think is hard to watch.
11:02I also think that that's the normal thing.
11:04Like I made this, you and I had this conversation, I think a week or two ago, I've never been to
11:10a Thanksgiving, as long as I can remember, I've never been to a Thanksgiving where I didn't
11:16have some old uncle in the corner of the room telling me that it ain't like it used
11:21to be.
11:23Honestly, since I was 10 years old, and by the way, one of the uncles is still the same
11:28guy.
11:29He's still with us and he's still over there in the corner on a big chair telling me that
11:34all these advertisements and all this stuff, boy, it's just different.
11:38It's different the way they do it.
11:40Yeah.
11:40So like, I don't know.
11:42We had Mark Schlaireth come on last week and say the same thing about the NFL.
11:46Totally.
11:47Like the NFL has changed.
11:48We don't have padded practices anymore.
11:50We don't have double days.
11:52And so the football, it's a lot different than it used to be.
11:55We've got to be aware of ourselves.
11:56Like, you should be aware of this.
11:58Well, what's that?
11:59From at JK Moody team, we know you're part of Kerr's cult and don't want to be on his
12:06bad side if he becomes a politician.
12:08But some of us can see through his words smoke.
12:11The guy placed his nepo kid in every job he had and by pure cynicism, trying to destroy
12:17talented kids careers at JK Moody team.
12:21Yeah.
12:21Guess what?
12:21He likes JK and Moody.
12:23Yeah.
12:23Well, yeah, it's crazy.
12:25It's crazy.
12:26Kerr has always struck me as the kind of guy who really dislikes young basketball players
12:33and at such a level that he would like to actually ruin them.
12:37Like Lance Armstrong style.
12:40Yeah, like Will Richard.
12:41Yeah.
12:41Like Quentin Post.
12:43Bleep that guy.
12:43Like Brandon Pajemski.
12:45He's out to get that young guy.
12:46All he does is play him 30 minutes a night.
12:48That'll teach him.
12:51How is that cult, by the way?
12:53You guys have chants and stuff?
12:55Oh, yeah.
12:55We meet every Thursday night.
12:57So great.
12:57Why do you think I call it the best day of the week?
13:00I don't want to read too many more of these, but.
13:02Oh, can I tell everybody?
13:04Do you all know that your afternoon hosts, Willard and Dibbs, do you know that we're not
13:10in charge of the Steve Kerr weekly interview?
13:15Like when it happens?
13:16No, no, no, no.
13:17Or what we're allowed to ask?
13:18No, no, no.
13:18Like this is out there a lot.
13:20Oh, they got to be buddy-buddy with Kerr or he'll stop coming on the show.
13:26Actually, that's not true.
13:29I mean, this interview was happening in this time slot before you and I were even in this
13:33time slot.
13:33Truth.
13:34Yep.
13:34And if, well, actually, I think right now we're probably pretty big favorites to outlast
13:39what we're doing and what Steve Kerr's doing, but you get my drift.
13:43Isn't it true that you get handed a page of questions that are produced by quote-unquote
13:49management?
13:50And the air quotes were for you, Lucas.
13:55Isn't it true that you're given a script of softballs for the Kerr interview?
14:01That's a stat.
14:02Look it up.
14:03What if we did a whole interview with Kerr next week where every question started with
14:07isn't it true?
14:09We could just do the whole thing as if we were lawyers.
14:12Isn't it true that Pods has pictures of you, some material that's so embarrassing that you
14:20have to play him?
14:21Let me tell you something.
14:22This guy is a ball player.
14:24I mean, the Pods thing is kind of, it can be a little tough sometimes.
14:30It can.
14:30I mean, like, I get it.
14:32I get it.
14:32I do.
14:33It's when you watch him play, I think you said this earlier, like, even in a four minute
14:38span, you can watch him and say, yeah, I get it.
14:41I see why you play him, and then it's, oh, God.
14:44Yeah.
14:44How do you play him?
14:45It's just, like, it's never one emotion for more than three possessions.
14:52Isn't it true that you get paid a bonus for every Draymond Green turnover?
14:59Pods is not scared.
15:00He'll shoot a big three.
15:02Stand on it.
15:03And he'll make it.
15:04He'll make it sometimes.
15:06Yeah.
15:06And then on the very next possession, he'll be like, I'm going to run into the lane.
15:11Against this six foot eight dude.
15:13And we're like, yeah.
15:14That's the sound I make when he does that little running floater, dilly bopper.
15:18And then the hair, and then the, I'm going to be better than Steph.
15:22I get it.
15:24I get it.
15:24He can be annoying.
15:26Do you know what he's shooting for three this year?
15:29It's over 40%.
15:30Right.
15:3140.6.
15:32It's, it's, which is like an absolutely tremendous number.
15:35He's shooting almost 50% in the month of December, but yeah, pods must have pictures.
15:41Why do you play pods?
