00:00:00They even get out there to try and get that guy to put the ball on the floor so I'm sure Steve Kerr emphasized those points to me tonight really important get back to basics you know I talked about getting across the floor early for Steph to be able to you know get off screens Jimmy Butler gets the ball in his hand you need time on that shot clock for the plate to develop they're not going to run a lot of set plays unless it's out of timeouts really mean flow you got to play fast.
00:00:24Avia Grant sharp combined for 96 points they go 36 to 60 from the floor shoot over 50 percent so fit to book as we say good evening to you guys communication point of attack defense and the turnovers they've been a bugaboo for the Warriors to start this season.
00:00:40I mean that that really is it you get back to if you don't turn it over the Warriors win and when they do turn it over they don't win but I think that Portland game the open threes particularly in the fourth quarter Phoenix
00:00:54is launching a ton of threes K you can't miss on oh I forgot Royce O'Neal's wide open they have some Gillespie's wide open there's guys you can't leave at different times.
00:01:04We were talking about Mark Williams you're saying open threes Festus I feel like the one main thing the Warriors can focus on you mentioned point of attack Montemonti point of attack defense moving your feet containing the ball the on ball defense at the Warriors and then guarding the second move too.
00:01:21Like you stop the first move at times a lot of times that Minnesota game guarding the second move the third move the counter moves can you keep guys out of the paint because Festus you know it makes your job so much easier if you're a quitting post if you're a big you don't have to help as much now you can stay with Mark Williams a go bear and not give up the dunks now the corner three doesn't have to come in and help and you can stay home and contest the three ball better and guard the three ball better Festus.
00:01:46Yeah for sure Buki you definitely have to guard the ball because that's where all the chaos comes from they get by you the big man is the last line of defense if the big man helps up this is where the Warriors have really been struggling there's nobody there to help the big man help the helper so the big man usually gets lobs and dunks and things at the rim if somebody does help that person there's a guy open on the three point line we just showed a clip right there where there's nobody there to contest that last shot
00:02:16and to be able to do all those two things to cover up on the defensive end Mully what is the teammate mindset when Steph is going crazy but when you see him going for 48 you don't want to be a bystander and enjoy the show but you want to win those type of games so you are normally the guy going crazy being a great shooter but what's the mindset of guys around Steph when he's on one I think Fitz and Buki I think it's to remain aggressive and you know even if it's just driving the ball to the paint
00:02:46obviously always aware of where he is Steph did a lot of his damage on catching shoots the other night so they were obvious balls to get to him but I think it's really important as a teammate you stay aggressive and make sure the defense you make them honor your game because of his gravity the other thing I would say Fitz and Buki I would sacrifice some offensive rebound and crashes to have better transition defense yes you know I love the offensive rebound but crashing the boards too many times
00:03:15I just see too many easy opportunities on the other end I'd rather get back in defense get my transition defense settled maybe a few games from now get back to the offensive rebound and Bonte I think I called you Monty my bad I don't know why Bonte your name is Bonte what's going on Bonte Monty I'm looking forward to seeing some matchup Duke Kamingham I play in this game get his athleticism keeping Jimmy Butler involved his ball screens his ISO Warriors need that downhill attack tonight for sure
00:03:44well I have not said air Congo in a long time I'm ready to see some athleticism I'm ready to see the Warriors you know play that point of attack defense the thing that Jonathan can bring to the floor but most importantly I love his ability to attack the rim
00:03:57you see me yelling all game long the points in the paint differential for every team the Warriors can do a much better job attacking the paint in addition to also shooting from the three-point line
00:04:06Buki he's not Monty he's Bonte let me tell you what he's not as quick as Monte
00:04:11definitely not quick like the Mississippi bullet hey don't worry K my vice principal in elementary school got my name wrong all five years so don't feel too bad
00:04:21you and me both I feel your pain that's why that's why I had to call myself out I called myself out
00:04:27all we talk about is KYP
00:04:29you guys have a great call tonight down in Phoenix all right so it's holiday season we're doing a naughty and nice list naughty is the fourth quarters of the last two games defensively you don't want that but doesn't overshadow the nice because the warrior offense has really started to look good with Steph going crazy that's been encouraging because we have been talking about a lot of the season Warriors offense has been struggling a little bit yeah now you find some traction there
00:04:59defensively there's some things you can clean up stopping penetration or limiting penetration over help here and there being a little loose on the strong side giving up some threes Warriors know what they're capable of and the key is staying together they have the leadership to do that I'm gonna stay with the Christmas theme joy to the world we get to watch Steph Curry because let's not take this for granted the Lexus drive to greatness his brilliance the last two games
00:05:24it's a lot of it's so much fun to watch him and he just are amazed it never gets old he still cares about his preparation he's aging like fine wine he comes out he puts it on display he is a showman and now it's just about finding a way to win in these games he's going off like this because he would give all these points back if it turned into wins but he's going to lead with his energy he's going to set the tone he's going to move without the ball he's going to create so much for your offense just with his movement sometimes without even tugging
00:05:54watching the ball you got to expect him to get double teamed at times and I think the fun factor goes up in a game like this where you have Dylan Brooks or you have a Devin Booker these guys are smash mouth they want to go at you Steph is willing to mix it up a little bit go back and forth and he wants to come out victorious well the Phoenix Suns have been a great story in the Western Conference a winning record they play so hard and they have a tandem that can help win games because Devin Booker is a flat out star and Dylan Brooks is having maybe his best career yet
00:06:24and Devin Booker we're used to seeing him put up numbers like this he's so methodical in his footwork his ISO game you know he's going to be super aggressive expect the Warriors to throw some double teams at him but Dylan Brooks get numbers like this he's worked so hard on his game he's big time on the defensive end when it comes to his mentality the one two but the fact that he's scoring this consistently means he's super aggressive right now and the Suns love what he's doing right now well for the Warriors they beat
00:06:54Phoenix in meeting one and Jimmy Butler only played the first half of that game they're going to see Phoenix tonight and Saturday you're going to need a whole lot of Jimmy Butler to help out Steph Curry to marry the good offense with better fourth quarter defense slow down that good tandem in Phoenix can the Warriors get things rolling in the Valley of the Sun Bonte and the guys are coming up next
00:07:16Warrior Basketball on NBC Sports Bay Area is brought to you by Toyota class leading MPG and more hybrid models than any other brand Toyota let's go places

00:07:59so what you do you root him against him or you root it for him if he's wearing your shoes you saw Anthony Edwards rooting for him
00:08:07win-win situation my key is take care of the ball tonight this is a team that forced the most turnovers in the league
00:08:12they score the second most points off of turnovers you got to take care of the ball
00:08:15get over 500 recapture the Mojo way to go bully get the swag back we got to get bully swag back here we know
00:08:23that man has swag again averaging 34 over this last night we'll see you at the half everybody
00:08:27a one day trip to the Valley of the Suns and the Suns coming to the Dubs on Saturday at Chase Center so
00:08:43back-to-back games Warriors already have win number one against Phoenix but they want to put the Portland and the Minnesota game in the rear view and that the Warrior offense is there okay but the defense in the fourth quarter has been frustrating Warriors need to start stacking some games
00:08:58being able to close teams out and again you said it offensively you're finding little traction defensively on ball defense is so important limiting penetration a lot of teams use those drives to set up those open threes so sure you can get the ball defense on the ball defense is so important
00:09:05three games Warriors already have win number one against Phoenix but they want to put the Portland and the Minnesota game in the rear view and that the Warrior offense is there okay but the defense in the fourth quarter has been frustrating
00:09:19Действительно, он-болт defense
00:09:21is so important.
00:09:22Limiting penetration.
00:09:24А lot of teams
00:09:24use those drives
00:09:26to set up those open threes.
00:09:27So sure, in sum of that up.
00:09:29But you've got to make sure
00:09:30you take care of the ball
00:09:30against this team.
00:09:32Their second opponent turnovers,
00:09:34their first in steals,
00:09:35the Suns are.
00:09:36That's a big part
00:09:37of their identity defensively.
00:09:38Yeah, Steph Curry,
00:09:39Dylan Brooks, round 15.
00:09:42Colin Gillespie, Devin Booker,
00:09:44Dylan Brooks, Royce O'Neal,
00:09:45and Mark Williams
00:09:46start for Phoenix.
00:09:48Jimmy Butler taking on
00:09:50that Booker assignment.
00:09:51How about that matchup?
00:09:53Can't leave Royce O'Neal
00:09:55as a three-point shooter.
00:09:57Booker with a step back.
00:09:58Up front iron,
00:09:59and Draymond the rebound.
00:10:00Steph at least held his own.
00:10:01He switched up.
00:10:03Steph, Moses, Booty, Butler
00:10:04with Draymond Green
00:10:06and Quinton Post.
00:10:06Same five that started in Portland.
00:10:09And Quinton Post for three.
00:10:11Out as QP been shooting the ball
00:10:13in the last four.
00:10:15You're talking about
00:10:16now 13 of 28 on threes.
00:10:18When Steph has the ball,
00:10:20the shift is on.
00:10:21So Quinton Post is going to get
00:10:22his fair share of open
00:10:23once Dylan Brooks
00:10:24answering for the three of his own.
00:10:26He's not shooting
00:10:27a three-ball grade at 32%,
00:10:28but he's just scored it
00:10:29so well that's a lazy pass.
00:10:31And those are the turnovers
00:10:32that have to stop
00:10:33at some point
00:10:34as Mark Williams
00:10:36will draw the foul.
00:10:37But keying live ball turnovers
00:10:41and starting opponents breaks.
00:10:42We talked about this
00:10:43in the Blazers game.
00:10:45Even in a game like that
00:10:46where the turnovers even out
00:10:47and the other teams turn it over too,
00:10:49those are momentum stoppers.
00:10:51And early in a game like this,
00:10:53you don't want a team
00:10:53to find rhythm early
00:10:55with your turnovers.
00:10:56And you've got to expect
00:10:57with a team like this,
00:10:58I just said it,
00:10:59they're first in steals.
00:11:01Right.
00:11:01Like they're going to gamble,
00:11:02they're going to be
00:11:02in the passing lanes.
00:11:04And this is Jordan Nott right here.
00:11:05He wants to establish
00:11:07their presence defensively
00:11:09in most games.
00:11:09And they've improved
00:11:10from last year.
00:11:11They're 16th defensively,
00:11:12so not exactly
00:11:12where they want to be.
00:11:13But force and turnover
00:11:15is a huge part
00:11:16of what they want to do
00:11:16every single night.
00:11:17Their frenetic energy level,
00:11:19I think that's the statistical
00:11:20way to quantify it,
00:11:22is the turnovers forced.
00:11:24Don't feed into that.
00:11:25And both of these teams
00:11:26struggle with turnovers.
00:11:27The Warriors are 20-15 turnovers.
00:11:28They're 26th
00:11:29in turnover percentage.
00:11:30Yeah, they'll give it to you too.
00:11:32Right.
00:11:32So whoever can take care
00:11:33of the ball in this game
00:11:34has a great chance
00:11:35to win it.
00:11:36So Williams knocking down
00:11:37a couple free throws.
00:11:40Again.
00:11:42Turnover number two.
00:11:43We haven't even played
00:11:44two minutes.
00:11:45Royce O'Neal missing
00:11:46and Moody strong rebound.
00:11:48Warriors are throwing it
00:11:49before they know
00:11:49the pass can get there.
00:11:51There's defenders
00:11:52in the passing lanes.
00:11:55Got to make sure
00:11:55that guy is open.
00:11:56The guy that the pass
00:11:57is coming to
00:11:58has to be cut
00:11:59and get open.
00:11:59Make sure you get open.
00:12:00Jimmy Butler on the shot blocker,
00:12:02putting it up
00:12:03and in and drawing the foul.
00:12:05He saw Steph directing traffic.
00:12:07Moses sent it back
00:12:08and he's like,
00:12:08no, no, no.
00:12:09Let's go to Jimmy
00:12:09on the center there.
00:12:10Because Williams is on him
00:12:11and you have some space.
00:12:13You kind of set up
00:12:14the defense.
00:12:14The defense is pretty
00:12:15lifted there.
00:12:17You know,
00:12:17Devin Booker
00:12:17doesn't really want to help.
00:12:19Dylan Brooks stabbed at it,
00:12:20but not really.
00:12:21So get Jimmy Butler
00:12:22involved early.
00:12:23They want him
00:12:24getting downhill,
00:12:25especially if you can
00:12:25get a big on him,
00:12:27have someone switch on him
00:12:28where he can use
00:12:29his advantage,
00:12:29that quickness.
00:12:30Now Jimmy Butler
00:12:31only played
00:12:32the first half
00:12:33against Phoenix
00:12:34in the Warrior victory.
00:12:36And you're going to see
00:12:38a lot of Jimmy Butler
00:12:38against Phoenix
00:12:39in the next two games.
00:12:42Royce O'Neal
00:12:43missing that three.
00:12:44He has a franchise record
00:12:45for the most threes
00:12:46made in the first
00:12:4726 games of the year.
00:12:49This is a franchise
00:12:49that had Steve Nash.
00:12:50Crazy.
00:12:5141% from three-point range.
00:12:56Draymond on the baseline.
00:12:57Quitten post a little
00:12:59show and go.
00:13:02Pump fakes
00:13:02and then had it knocked away.
00:13:04Four to shoot.
00:13:05Steph somehow stuck in there
00:13:06and laid it in.
00:13:08A little pump fake.
00:13:10He was able to go up with it,
00:13:11but that's just
00:13:11moving without the ball.
00:13:13Everybody's just focused
00:13:13on the baseline action there.
00:13:15Steph just moving.
00:13:17Moses Moody
00:13:17fighting over that screen
00:13:19and harassing Gillespie.
00:13:21Moses with the defense.
00:13:23Using that length
00:13:24and that athleticism
00:13:25on Gillespie.
00:13:27Quitten post
00:13:28getting all the way inside.
00:13:30And he was fouled
00:13:31on the second tip.
00:13:32But the Warriors
00:13:32are having that downhill attack.
00:13:34Their mentality is right.
00:13:35The Suns are actually
00:13:3625th in the league
00:13:37in opponent field goal percentage
00:13:39inside the restricted circle.
00:13:40So if you get down there,
00:13:41you can have some success.
00:13:43But you see the action
00:13:44is happening
00:13:44like right around the basket.
00:13:46So defenders are
00:13:46turning their heads.
00:13:48Steph's defender did that.
00:13:49Just go ahead
00:13:49and cut to the basket.
00:13:50Steph could do that too.
00:13:52How about Quitten?
00:13:53He missed the free throw,
00:13:54but a show and go
00:13:55for a guy
00:13:56who's that hot
00:13:57from the three-point line.
00:13:58When you're 13 of 28,
00:14:00but he's like,
00:14:00I got Williams flying at me.
00:14:02Let me go buy him.
00:14:03He's just thinking the game.
00:14:04Take what the defense gives you.
00:14:05You know they're going
00:14:06to be flying at you
00:14:06because you've hit one.
00:14:08He hits that second free throw.
00:14:09And he's got an important job
00:14:10on the defensive end.
00:14:11And the guards
00:14:12will help him out
00:14:14if they can contain
00:14:15on the perimeter
00:14:16and make it to where
00:14:16he doesn't have to help off
00:14:18of Williams as much
00:14:19giving him dunks.
00:14:20And the pick and roll defense
00:14:20is going to be so important
00:14:21with this team too.
00:14:22Williams had 20
00:14:23against the Lakers.
00:14:24And he shoots 67%.
00:14:26Brooks missing there.
00:14:27Snap rebound in motion.
00:14:29And Dylan Brooks
00:14:29took it away from him.
00:14:31Brooks flying inside.
00:14:34And Dylan Brooks
00:14:35already smash mouth,
00:14:37he calls himself.
00:14:38He's never avoiding contact.
00:14:39Straight into the big
00:14:40that time.
00:14:42Snap finding Moody.
00:14:43Open corner three.
00:14:45Ricochet out to Brooks.
00:14:50That's the look you want though.
00:14:51Off of that penetration.
00:14:53Make the defense react.
00:14:54Make him help.
00:14:55Dylan Brooks,
00:14:56Jalen Green came over
00:14:57the Durant trade.
00:14:58And this is the most
00:14:59offensive mind
00:15:00that we've ever seen.
00:15:01Dylan Brooks.
00:15:01He's so aggressive right now.
00:15:03He loves his mid-range too.
00:15:04And he gets good separation
00:15:05for that jumper.
00:15:07Post with a trail three.
00:15:08That's another good look.
00:15:10So the Moody three,
00:15:11the post three.
00:15:12Booker running it back.
00:15:15Dylan Brooks,
00:15:16how hot am I?
00:15:17That's off the heel of the rim.
00:15:19I think the Warriors
00:15:19can benefit from the fast pace
00:15:21maybe a little more
00:15:21than the Suns
00:15:22because in the first game
00:15:23we saw against this team
00:15:24where the Warriors won,
00:15:25they got a lot of
00:15:26fast break points.
00:15:28Dubs have opened
00:15:29three of seven.
00:15:31Another went by Williams once.
00:15:33How about two in a row?
00:15:34Why not?
00:15:35He's not going to settle out there.
00:15:37A little pump fake.
00:15:38Drive to the basket.
00:15:39The lane is wide open for you.
00:15:42So Jimmy Butler
00:15:43getting to the ten twice.
00:15:45And the Warriors up two
00:15:46with 8.03 remaining in the first.
00:15:50Wendy's new chicken tenders
00:15:51save the flavor
00:15:53of Wendy's new chicken tenders.
00:15:55Gotta have tendies.
00:15:56Gotta be Wendy's.
00:15:57Oh, I love our tandem promo.
00:15:59I don't know what I just said.
00:16:00So good.
00:16:01Why?
00:16:01The Warriors are up two
00:16:03with 8.03.
00:16:05Happy holidays to everybody.
00:16:06The Range Rover
00:16:07engineered to win
00:16:08the most 40-point games
00:16:10after turning 35.
00:16:12Who is in the sights
00:16:13of Mr. Curry right now?
00:16:15Yeah, LeBron James.
00:16:16LeBron is in the way.
00:16:18It's so admirable
00:16:19how long these guys
00:16:21have been doing it.
00:16:22The way they prepare,
00:16:24the same way,
00:16:25the way they take care
00:16:26of their bodies.
00:16:27Still performing
00:16:28at this high of a level.
00:16:30Defenses are still
00:16:31focused solely on them.
00:16:32Yeah, Steph had a bloody nose
00:16:34pregame,
00:16:34and so he's got kind of
00:16:35the boxer cotton
00:16:36in the one nostril.
00:16:38Warriors gone to a zone here,
00:16:40trying to switch it up
00:16:41on him early.
00:16:42GP2 has checked in.
00:16:44Dylan Brooks.
00:16:46There's Dylan Brooks
00:16:46against the world right now.
00:16:48He's already got 10.
00:16:50He's had some fast start
00:16:51in some games, too,
00:16:52and if he starts hitting
00:16:53that three ball,
00:16:53he's hot early.
00:16:54Look out.
00:16:56That ball kicked.
00:16:57Still Warrior ball.
00:16:59You think about
00:16:59some of the gut punch losses
00:17:01the Warriors have had,
00:17:02the Suns have had
00:17:03some of those, too.
00:17:04You get a double team
00:17:05in a zone.
00:17:06They move the ball around.
00:17:08You get the zone buster
00:17:09three there,
00:17:10but he's already chirping.
00:17:12This is what he does.
00:17:13He can't help it.
00:17:14Like you said,
00:17:1532%.
00:17:16He's not having
00:17:16a great three-point year,
00:17:17but he's having
00:17:18a great scoring year.
00:17:19Yeah.
00:17:19His antics almost kind of
00:17:21lost their last game
00:17:22for him against the Lakers
00:17:23as Moses Moody
00:17:24misses one.
00:17:25Liam's tipping it
00:17:26to Gillespie.
00:17:27They fought back,
00:17:28all the way back
00:17:29in that game,
00:17:29and he hits the go-ahead three,
00:17:30then crashes into LeBron,
00:17:31gets kicked out.
00:17:32Then they foul LeBron
00:17:33on the three.
00:17:33He knocks down
00:17:35another three.
00:17:36Dylan Brooks,
00:17:37we've got 13
00:17:38of their 15.
00:17:44Gwynn Post
00:17:45trying to answer,
00:17:46missing that three.
00:17:47GP two.
00:17:50The Dubs,
00:17:51another opportunity.
00:17:55And they keep guard
00:17:57Jimmy Butler
00:17:57with Mark Williams.
00:18:00Jimmy will turn
00:18:01and miss that three.
00:18:02Pretty good Phoenix defense.
00:18:03GP two again.
00:18:05And Steph with the three.
00:18:07Williams touched that last.
00:18:08The Warriors are going to get
00:18:09a fourth opportunity here.
00:18:11Warriors are crashing,
00:18:12and there's some long rebounds.
00:18:14The Warriors will take that,
00:18:15and that's one thing
00:18:15they got to watch out for
00:18:16on the other side.
00:18:17The Suns are one of the best
00:18:18offensive rebounding teams
00:18:19in the league.
00:18:20Fourth in the league
00:18:20offensive rebounding percentage.
00:18:21So this is a different wrinkle.
00:18:23Draymond had the quick blow,
00:18:25and now Draymond and Trace Jackson-Davis
00:18:27come in
00:18:28with Steph Moody
00:18:29and GP two.
00:18:31Love TJD's athleticism.
00:18:34This is one,
00:18:35where's the offense
00:18:36going to come from
00:18:37with this group?
00:18:38You like the defense there?
00:18:39It can come from that guy.
00:18:41Steph Curry hits a three.
00:18:43Get a little split action there.
00:18:44Clips Steph's man.
00:18:46Screener's defender
00:18:46isn't close enough.
00:18:47That release is lightning quick.
00:18:50Iguodaro
00:18:51and Jonathan Goodwin
00:18:53coming in.
00:18:54Booker missing there.
00:18:56Also Iguodaro,
00:18:57four-year player out of Mark Cat.
00:18:58He was the 40th pick
00:18:59a year ago,
00:19:01and Moody is fouled.
00:19:02Warriors are driving.
00:19:04Again, they have
00:19:05the right mentality.
00:19:06The Suns do have
00:19:07an interesting front court.
00:19:09Also Iguodaro,
00:19:10Mark Williams.
00:19:12You got Kaman
00:19:14coming off the bench
00:19:15from Duke.
00:19:16Jordan Goodwin
00:19:17four-year player
00:19:18at St. Louis University.
00:19:21This is year five.
00:19:22He was undrafted in 2021.
00:19:24You also have Nick Richards,
00:19:25seven-footer.
00:19:28Shot clock at 11.
00:19:30Cycling around to Steph again.
00:19:32Wing jumper
00:19:32perfectly executed.
00:19:34You'll take Steph
00:19:35taking that all day.
00:19:37Booker in transition.
00:19:39Curry will smartly
00:19:40let that go out of bounds.
00:19:44You've done a pretty good job
00:19:45on Devin Booker so far.
00:19:48He's not going to be scoreless
00:19:49for too long
00:19:50as pods comes in the game.
00:19:52Well, Dylan Brooks
00:19:53has five made field goals.
00:19:54The rest of the Suns
00:19:55are 0 for 7.
00:19:57Or 0 for 5,
00:19:57excuse me.
00:19:58They turn it over
00:19:59on an inbound play.
00:20:01Steve Kerr
00:20:02going to use a timeout.
00:20:04The Warriors can talk about rotations
00:20:08and shooting and all.
00:20:10If they keep throwing the ball
00:20:11to the other team,
00:20:12this is the result you're going to get.
00:20:14Korea is brought to you by
00:20:15CGI technology
00:20:17and professional services.
00:20:19Insights you can act on.
00:20:21Well, the inside for the Warriors
00:20:24is pretty simple.
00:20:25Trailing 17-14.
00:20:27It is turnovers early.
00:20:29But for Phoenix,
00:20:30our Kaiser Permanente
00:20:31teamwork in action.
00:20:33A lot of changes.
00:20:35Okay?
00:20:36And yet,
00:20:37they don't have their own pick
00:20:38until 2032.
00:20:40This is kind of the group
00:20:41you're going to have.
00:20:42And they haven't had Jalen Green
00:20:43except for one game.
00:20:44But he's going to be
00:20:45a big part of that
00:20:46with Dylan Brooks
00:20:46and Devin Booker.
00:20:47It's a different vibe this year.
00:20:50They're kind of
00:20:50just playing free.
00:20:51The expectations
00:20:52aren't as high
00:20:53as they were last year
00:20:54with Kevin Durant.
00:20:55So,
00:20:56they've kind of benefited
00:20:57from that.
00:20:57It's been kind of refreshing
00:20:58for these guys.
00:20:59and the Warriors
00:21:00almost turned over again.
00:21:01They'll live to see
00:21:01another day here.
00:21:02But for the Warriors,
00:21:03it's totally different.
00:21:03The expectations are high.
00:21:05Like,
00:21:06whenever the Warriors
00:21:07are kind of up and down
00:21:08and inconsistent,
00:21:09the sky is falling
00:21:10and you hear the noise
00:21:12and it's much louder
00:21:13when it's happening.
00:21:14So,
00:21:14the Warriors,
00:21:15they're having to deal
00:21:16with that right now.
00:21:17But you're just trying
00:21:18to stack some games now.
00:21:21Knocked away
00:21:22and
00:21:22TJD makes up for it
00:21:24with a blocked shot there.
00:21:26The important thing
00:21:26is always to stay together.
00:21:28Just us.
00:21:29The Japs can't
00:21:30D'Anthony Melton
00:21:31along with Steph.
00:21:32So,
00:21:32three ball handlers now
00:21:33but see the harassment
00:21:34by Phoenix.
00:21:36And Pods taking it
00:21:37to trouble.
00:21:38Draymond on the escape foul
00:21:39and you get a layup
00:21:40and they're going to
00:21:41double guys in the corner
00:21:42and you get it
00:21:43and get it out of your hands.
00:21:45Good things can happen.
00:21:46And the quick decision
00:21:46for Draymond Green
00:21:47made it to where
00:21:48there was no recovery.
00:21:49No chance of that.
00:21:52Got a foul
00:21:53from Pods there.
00:21:54Dylan Brooks.
00:21:55You're mixing it up
00:21:56with Dylan Brooks.
00:21:57He's going at you
00:21:58and you get the miss there
00:22:02and you rebound it
00:22:03and there's Draymond Green
00:22:04after the double team
00:22:05on Pods.
00:22:05The thing with
00:22:06dealing with Dylan Brooks
00:22:08is just making sure
00:22:09you don't get caught up
00:22:10in his antics
00:22:11going back and forth.
00:22:12and if you do
00:22:13make sure you're still
00:22:14focused on the task at hand
00:22:16and what your job is.
00:22:17Know who you are.
00:22:18We've seen Steph
00:22:18have success going back
00:22:20and forth as they turn it
00:22:21over.
00:22:21Warriors get one here.
00:22:22Pajemski great defense there
00:22:24and Steph an open three.
00:22:27Phoenix fortunate right now.
00:22:28Curry's missed a couple
00:22:29that he's normally
00:22:30going to bottom.
00:22:34Yeah.
00:22:34Dylan Brooks
00:22:35if you're an instigator
00:22:35you do it better
00:22:36than they do
00:22:37type of thing.
00:22:38So don't get
00:22:38caught up in that.
00:22:41Easier said than done
00:22:41sometimes
00:22:42because guys get frustrated.
00:22:44But know yourself
00:22:44if you can handle it
00:22:45some guys like to chirp
00:22:46go back and forth
00:22:47and can stay focused
00:22:48on their task.
00:22:49They ran Royce
00:22:50O'Neal off the line.
00:22:51That's great defense
00:22:52by Steph
00:22:53and a better box out
00:22:53by Trace.
00:22:55Even with the turnovers
00:22:57the Dubs are right here
00:22:57because they're doing
00:22:58other good things.
00:22:59Draymond on three
00:23:02lasered on.
00:23:04Other than Dylan Brooks
00:23:05you're defending well.
00:23:06Yeah.
00:23:07And the Warriors
00:23:07have found
00:23:09that in a lot of games
00:23:10this season
00:23:10that's helped them
00:23:11stay afloat.
00:23:15Dylan Brooks on Draymond.
00:23:17We had a little space.
00:23:19Draymond came back
00:23:19to tap it
00:23:20but you get him
00:23:21a foul on the rebound
00:23:22on the Warriors.
00:23:23Goodwin is crashing.
00:23:24I told you
00:23:24all of them are crashing.
00:23:26Fourth in offensive
00:23:26rebounding percentage
00:23:27and that is up
00:23:29from the last time
00:23:29we saw that.
00:23:30This is the defense here.
00:23:32We're just bodying him up.
00:23:34Give him nothing easy here.
00:23:36Get a little
00:23:36double team show
00:23:37on one side.
00:23:38Switch out.
00:23:39A lot of movement.
00:23:40Second efforts.
00:23:41Multiple efforts.
00:23:42You have to be willing
00:23:43to make all those.
00:23:45And you love that
00:23:45the Warriors
00:23:46just knocked down
00:23:46a three.
00:23:47Draymond did.
00:23:47The last time
00:23:48we saw his team
00:23:48they outscored him
00:23:49from 21 points
00:23:50from behind
00:23:50the three-point lines.
00:23:51With Mark Williams
00:23:52sitting Draymond
00:23:52at the speed five now.
00:23:55Jimmy Butler back in.
00:23:56Goodwin missing that three
00:23:57and Draymond coming back
00:23:58for that rebound.
00:23:59A lot of one and done.
00:24:06Anthony Melton
00:24:06gets the big
00:24:08to come out on him
00:24:10and pick up a foul.
00:24:11So that will be
00:24:12the fourth team foul
00:24:13on Phoenix.
00:24:13Again,
00:24:14you get a bigger guy
00:24:15on a guard
00:24:16a much quicker player.
00:24:19The Anthony Melton
00:24:19take advantage.
00:24:20Don't settle.
00:24:22And to finish my point
00:24:22they outscored him
00:24:24by 21 points
00:24:25from behind
00:24:25the three-point line
00:24:26last game.
00:24:26Warriors aren't the
00:24:27kind of team
00:24:28that can say
00:24:28let's just do that again
00:24:29even though they're
00:24:31ninth in three-point
00:24:32shooting percentage.
00:24:33It's always about
00:24:33how you get those
00:24:34threes.
00:24:34But they did take
00:24:35care of the ball
00:24:35last time
00:24:36he was on his team.
00:24:37Around 15.
00:24:38So for the most part
00:24:39they took care of the ball.
00:24:40So that's something
00:24:42you want to go
00:24:42okay we have to be
00:24:43better there.
00:24:45One thing Steve
00:24:45has done
00:24:46is Buddy Heald
00:24:46and Post come back in.
00:24:48A lot of quick
00:24:49substitutions.
00:24:50He's telling guys
00:24:51to go out
00:24:51in two, three,
00:24:52four-minute bursts.
00:24:54Wojewski on the kickout.
00:24:56Post on a sidestep
00:24:57reset three.
00:24:58Ticked off iron.
00:25:00And here comes
00:25:00Phoenix the other way.
00:25:01And then
00:25:02Butler bothered it.
00:25:04The Dubs get
00:25:05another opportunity.
00:25:07Told you
00:25:07they will give it
00:25:08back to you.
00:25:08Anthony Melton
00:25:13looking for
00:25:15something inside
00:25:17rather than just
00:25:18on the perimeter.
00:25:19Buddy has stopped
00:25:20the dribble.
00:25:22Now they get it
00:25:22to Butler.
00:25:23End of the clock
00:25:24threw him a grenade
00:25:24and he draws the foul.
00:25:27Flips it in
00:25:27and bails everyone out.
00:25:30That is poise
00:25:31under pressure.
00:25:32Makes something
00:25:33out of nothing.
00:25:34Your offense was
00:25:35absolute rubbish.
00:25:36Throw it to
00:25:37Jimmy Butler.
00:25:38He's got us.
00:25:40The shot clock
00:25:41is running down.
00:25:42Figure it out.
00:25:43Rise up.
00:25:44Steve Kerr is in
00:25:45front of us
00:25:45in this broadcast
00:25:46position.
00:25:48Get it to Jimmy.
00:25:49Get it to Jimmy.
00:25:50Get it to Jimmy.
00:25:51Finally, with three
00:25:52on the clock,
00:25:52get it to Jimmy.
00:25:53And he still
00:25:54bails everybody out.
00:25:55That's why he was
00:25:55yelling that.
00:25:56And now, if you're
00:25:57the Warriors,
00:25:57you're in the bonus
00:25:58the rest of the
00:25:58court.
00:25:59You don't have
00:25:59much time left.
00:26:00But see if you
00:26:01can get you a cheap
00:26:02one.
00:26:02Stay aggressive.
00:26:03And particularly
00:26:03with Steph out.
00:26:05Booker picks up
00:26:06his second foul.
00:26:07Big.
00:26:07And Butler's got
00:26:08seven.
00:26:11Jamare Bouye
00:26:12checking in.
00:26:13Gillespie.
00:26:14Oh, you don't want
00:26:15to bail him out on
00:26:16that.
00:26:17He is a great
00:26:18shooter.
00:26:19Wonderful three-point
00:26:20shooter.
00:26:20He shoots really well
00:26:21off the dribble.
00:26:23Gillespie does.
00:26:23But he's 43%
00:26:24in three-point range.
00:26:25And he's really the
00:26:27one true point guard
00:26:29that they have.
00:26:30The one guy that can
00:26:31be a real point guard.
00:26:33But other than that,
00:26:34they just fall handle
00:26:35by committee.
00:26:37And Bouye is actually
00:26:38another guy that can
00:26:39handle.
00:26:43So Kelly Chen is coming
00:26:46to Chase Center.
00:26:47That's tomorrow at 8.
00:26:49In the Season 2 Live
00:26:502025 Tour.
00:26:52Bouye is like 60%
00:26:54from three-point range.
00:26:55But he's actually a guy
00:26:56that can be like a
00:26:57microwave scorer off the
00:26:58bench.
00:26:58Yeah, five years at USF.
00:27:00He's undrafted.
00:27:02Fourth year in the league.
00:27:11Cycle it to Melton.
00:27:12Shot clock at five.
00:27:13Pajemski back out to post.
00:27:15That's the three you want.
00:27:17Jimmy keeping it alive.
00:27:18Bouye coming out of the pack.
00:27:20Good one, 100 miles an hour
00:27:23and laying it up and in.
00:27:25That's his transition defense.
00:27:26As soon as he got the ball,
00:27:28he had an angle in the
00:27:29basket.
00:27:29No one was really in front of
00:27:30him to square him up.
00:27:33Shot quality of the first
00:27:34quarter, very good for the
00:27:36Dubs.
00:27:36Shot making not as good
00:27:37as Pajemski all the way to
00:27:39the iron.
00:27:39Forget about the play.
00:27:41Just drive by your man.
00:27:43Lesby.
00:27:44Galena talked about it.
00:27:45That's what he does.
00:27:48Off the dribble.
00:27:49Not a lot of guys have that
00:27:50in the league and make it
00:27:51that great.
00:27:53Remember him at Villanova
00:27:54as Pajemski.
00:27:57Baseline pull.
00:28:03Lesby again.
00:28:05Quentin Post will track down
00:28:07that miss.
00:28:08Yeah, you've got Phoenix at
00:28:10six of 17.
00:28:11Other than Dylan Brooks'
00:28:12hot start, you said it,
00:28:13K.
00:28:13You've got no problem with
00:28:14where the defense has been
00:28:15right now.
00:28:16We'll live with it.
00:28:19Butler caught that in motion.
00:28:20Missed from the baseline.
00:28:22Jim Goodwin pushing.
00:28:23Jimmy Butler is more assertive
00:28:25right now, though.
00:28:25He's super aggressive from
00:28:26the jump.
00:28:29Well, Jordan Goodwin.
00:28:30The average is nine a game,
00:28:32but without Grayson Allen,
00:28:34they're looking for other
00:28:35supplementary scores.
00:28:37Allen out tonight.
00:28:38He's guarding that ball screen
00:28:39to contain a little better.
00:28:41Figure out if you want to fight
00:28:42over or go under that.
00:28:43Make sure you just keep him
00:28:45out of the paint as much as
00:28:46possible.
00:28:47Ryan Dunn, a good defender,
00:28:48made Melton give it up.
00:28:50That's a good pass from Buddy,
00:28:51and then Jimmy Butler will get
00:28:53to the line.
00:28:53That was well done by Buddy
00:28:54Heald.
00:28:55The Buddies working together.
00:28:57Jimmy Butler and Buddy Heald
00:28:59have seen their act,
00:29:01their show off the court,
00:29:03press conferences.
00:29:04They can work together on the
00:29:05court, too.
00:29:05Look at the two defenders stay
00:29:07up with the shooter.
00:29:07Buddy Heald.
00:29:09And he got his Buddy.
00:29:10Well, not an easy one.
00:29:11They're crashing down on him.
00:29:12He's got to go make the
00:29:13free throws.
00:29:13But Jimmy Butler, we know
00:29:14this.
00:29:15He likes going to the free
00:29:16throw line and earning it
00:29:16sometimes.
00:29:19But the fact that they're
00:29:20just getting him involved
00:29:21early.
00:29:21He's gotten himself involved,
00:29:22too.
00:29:22So it's a two-way street.
00:29:24He's more aggressive and
00:29:25assertive, looking to score,
00:29:26but also the Warriors have
00:29:27put him in positions to be
00:29:29successful.
00:29:29Set screens and roll the
00:29:31basket, especially when you
00:29:31got a shooter out there.
00:29:33The Butler, one of two
00:29:34from the line.
00:29:36Jimmy's got eight.
00:29:37Dylan Brooks has 13.
00:29:41Two for one.
00:29:42Yeah, Phoenix could go two for
00:29:43one if they hustle it up
00:29:45here.
00:29:45Goodwin knows that.
00:29:47Missing that three, batted
00:29:48back out.
00:29:51Goodwin thought about pulling
00:29:52again.
00:29:53Ryan Dunn skipped past post and
00:29:55Melton combined in the steal.
00:29:57Good Warrior defense.
00:29:59So shot clock off.
00:30:00You can play for one.
00:30:01Give me it back again.
00:30:09Jimmy on Goodwin.
00:30:11Down to seven.
00:30:13They load up on that side.
00:30:14Butler goes through the lane.
00:30:15He's fouled anyway.
00:30:16Free throws.
00:30:17Warriors have no problem with
00:30:18that.
00:30:18They're in the bonus.
00:30:20They were ready to help.
00:30:21They came over early and just
00:30:23got a little too aggressive when
00:30:24he was stepping through there.
00:30:25What does Jimmy Butler not do?
00:30:28He doesn't turn it over.
00:30:30No.
00:30:30That's why when Steph is sitting,
00:30:32Steve Kerr's like run through
00:30:33Jimmy.
00:30:34Not only his passing, but he's
00:30:36not going to throw it away.
00:30:37Well, how about that last one
00:30:38where he looked like a wide
00:30:39receiver towing the line right
00:30:41there.
00:30:41The ball is about to go out of
00:30:42bounds.
00:30:42He saved one.
00:30:43Then he's like, give it right
00:30:44back.
00:30:45You can take the Warriors on the
00:30:46go this season and stream the
00:30:47games.
00:30:48The NBC Sports app brought to
00:30:50you by Toyota.
00:30:51The Warriors, they will be on the
00:30:53go after Christmas, but Jan 1,
00:30:56K, when we fly home from
00:30:57Charlotte, December 31st, half
00:30:59the road schedule will be done.
00:31:0120 road games in 70 days, the
00:31:03final 21 in 102 days.
00:31:07Wow.
00:31:07That will be stretched out for
00:31:09the Warriors in the second half
00:31:10of their road season.
00:31:12Warriors just know there's no
00:31:13margin for error now.
00:31:14No more turnovers.
00:31:16Final three seconds.
00:31:17Don't give Gillespie a good
00:31:18look.
00:31:19He had to step around, put it
00:31:20up and out, and Butler, he did
00:31:22not let him rise up easily.
00:31:25So win quarter by quarter.
00:31:28Can't do that if you don't win
00:31:29the first quarter, but the
00:31:30Warriors did.
00:31:31Up three at the end of one
00:31:33playing through Jimmy.
00:31:34Steph already has a bloody
00:31:35nose.
00:31:36And when you're playing Dylan
00:31:37Brooks, it might be physical
00:31:38all night long, but after 12
00:31:40minutes, it's the Dubs with a
00:31:42three-point advantage.
00:31:43Winter Olympics return in February.
00:31:55The greatest winter sport of
00:31:56athletes in the world go for gold
00:31:57and Milan Cortina right here on
00:31:59NBC and Peacock.
00:32:01That is on.
00:32:02The Winter Olympics snow promo over
00:32:04a beautiful 75-degree sunset in
00:32:07Phoenix.
00:32:08It's odd.
00:32:10That was interesting.
00:32:10Although the Olympics are amazing.
00:32:12Jonathan Kaminga and Guy Santos
00:32:14checking in.
00:32:16Steve has played every player
00:32:17except for Will Richards,
00:32:19essentially, right at the
00:32:20beginning of the game.
00:32:21But he healed, unable to hit that.
00:32:23Coach Kerr says Jonathan Kaminga
00:32:24has been doing such a great job
00:32:26since he's been out of the
00:32:26lineup.
00:32:27In practice, he has to reward it.
00:32:29As they almost forced a turnover
00:32:30there.
00:32:30Guy Santos, good deflection there.
00:32:32And if I'm Kaminga, I'm saying
00:32:34I'm going to get a rebound ASAP.
00:32:36Defensive, offensive, I'm crashing
00:32:38everything, go snatch one, feel the
00:32:41ball.
00:32:43Gillespie on the inbound and Steph
00:32:45Curry with the rebound.
00:32:47So Steph, Draymond, Guy Santos,
00:32:49Kaminga, and Buddy.
00:32:52Curry went right down the lane and
00:32:54then had it batted away.
00:32:56I'll tell you, Mark Williams, it's
00:32:58all about health.
00:32:59If he's healthy, he's a quality
00:33:00player.
00:33:01Ooye missing that three.
00:33:03One thing the Warriors did so well in
00:33:07that first quarter, crashing the
00:33:08offensive glass, they got five
00:33:09offensive rebounds for six second
00:33:11chance points to zero.
00:33:13Okay, you don't have Devin Booker or
00:33:15Dylan Brooks in the game.
00:33:16This is where you want to add to that
00:33:18advantage.
00:33:19Draymond, off back iron.
00:33:20Kaminga, getting to the
00:33:22offensive glass.
00:33:23There he goes.
00:33:29Draymond again.
00:33:30Phoenix, they're saying, okay, it's
00:33:32not Steph.
00:33:34So we're going to give Draymond all
00:33:36he can eat from deep.
00:33:42Ryan Dunn flying, forgot the ball.
00:33:45Now, Bouye, did he touch that last?
00:33:47It looked like it went off of his
00:33:48foot.
00:33:49And that, well, yeah, Leon Wood tried
00:33:52to point one way, but Steve Kerr
00:33:54saying, didn't Bouye kick that ball?
00:33:56It looked like if they want to
00:33:57challenge it, they'd probably win this
00:33:59one.
00:33:59Is it worth using it right now?
00:34:01Yeah, there's only eight to shoot.
00:34:03With this lineup, though, you've got
00:34:04to expect Gillespie to be super
00:34:06aggressive.
00:34:07And he's going to be the initiator.
00:34:12Gillespie tried to throw it to
00:34:14Williams and went all the way to
00:34:15Dunn.
00:34:16And he misses the three.
00:34:19And Williams gets the freebie.
00:34:20That was just a bad bounce of the
00:34:22ball.
00:34:22Draymond mistimed that jump.
00:34:23He's the biggest guy out there, too.
00:34:25And, again, I said they had zero
00:34:28offensive rebounds.
00:34:30Mark Williams saying, I have to
00:34:31change that.
00:34:32That's the possession the Suns never
00:34:33should have had.
00:34:35Raymond having that denied.
00:34:38So, Jordan Ott's loving this because
00:34:40he's resting.
00:34:42He's Booker and Brooks.
00:34:44Oh, he stepped out.
00:34:45Oh, they ran the out-of-bounds play.
00:34:47That false step.
00:34:47Where you step out of bounds.
00:34:48That false step.
00:34:50The last offensive possession,
00:34:51Warriors ran that Steph ball screen,
00:34:53changed it up, unorthodoxed.
00:34:55But the Suns were ready for it.
00:34:57So, they're getting a little more
00:35:00active in the paint, making it much
00:35:02tougher to score inside for the
00:35:03Warriors.
00:35:03The Dubs don't do this a lot, but
00:35:05this is almost like let Steph go
00:35:07against Gillespie and just take
00:35:08your chances.
00:35:10All moving nicely.
00:35:11Buddy Heald pays it off.
00:35:13That was pretty.
00:35:14From Kaminga to Gee, back out to
00:35:16Buddy Heald for three.
00:35:17Kaminga as a screener and a roller.
00:35:19Let him be the decision maker.
00:35:20Remember how he started the season
00:35:22with wonderful passing and vision.
00:35:25Gillespie getting right to the
00:35:28rim there.
00:35:30That's one thing we touched on in
00:35:32the open, just limiting
00:35:33penetration.
00:35:34Can you keep them out of the
00:35:35pain or at least make it tougher,
00:35:36not give up blow-bys?
00:35:38And that's what happens when the
00:35:39help doesn't come.
00:35:40You give up layups.
00:35:41Curry doubled.
00:35:48DeSantos hitting a three.
00:35:50They're so focused on Steph, and
00:35:52Steph is so unselfish.
00:35:53The two defenders jump at him in
00:35:55the paint there almost.
00:35:57Guys are going to be open.
00:36:00Skip pass to Gillespie.
00:36:02They force him off the line, but
00:36:04now Royce O'Neal has been bobbing
00:36:05away for threes all year.
00:36:08Royce O'Neal at 41%.
00:36:10Only double-team Bouye, and they
00:36:12skip past it, so it's just a super
00:36:14long closeout, and they attack
00:36:17that.
00:36:17Now you're just in scramble mode.
00:36:24Dangerous pass to Kaminga.
00:36:26Shot clock at seven.
00:36:28JK over the shot blocker.
00:36:31And here come the Suns.
00:36:33Gillespie inside.
00:36:38Draymond picked his pocket, and he
00:36:39stared him down after.
00:36:41But he threw it away.
00:36:45The turnover's just become so
00:36:48exasperating.
00:36:52Bouye down the lane, and he will
00:36:54be fouled.
00:36:56It's just being under control, and
00:36:57they're just throwing passes before
00:36:59they know someone is open for sure.
00:37:01They're kind of running through the
00:37:03passes.
00:37:03With Buddy Heald, when he gets it
00:37:05like that, and there's traffic, I've
00:37:07said this so many times, come to a
00:37:09jump stop.
00:37:09If you can play off of two feet, you
00:37:12give yourself more time, you're able
00:37:13to take a beat, you can use ball
00:37:15fakes.
00:37:16In this game, guys aren't always
00:37:18going to be open when you're
00:37:19dribbling the ball, even when you're
00:37:20penetrating, when you get in the
00:37:21paint and you stop.
00:37:22Guys aren't going to be open right
00:37:23off the bat sometimes.
00:37:24You have to be able to take a beat,
00:37:26and if you're playing off of one
00:37:27foot and you're not jump
00:37:28stopping, it's going to be tough to
00:37:30do a couple of free throw.
00:37:32The second one coming your way
00:37:33courtesy of Jack in the box.
00:37:37Make it a much better day with one
00:37:38of my much better deals.
00:37:39That's what I do.
00:37:45And that's the thing, too.
00:37:45Like we talked about it being
00:37:47momentum stoppers.
00:37:49You watch the Warriors body
00:37:50language when they turn it over
00:37:51shoulders get slumped.
00:37:53And as much as you want to stay
00:37:54positive, it's so tough to do.
00:37:56You don't want to get mad at your
00:37:57teammates and start pointing fingers
00:37:58or any of that stuff, but you're
00:38:01just making it tough on yourself
00:38:02turning the ball over like this.
00:38:10Dominguez, good pass to Jimmy Butler.
00:38:12Guy Santos had hit one three.
00:38:13They ran him off the line.
00:38:15Breaking the paint with Pajemski.
00:38:17Shot clock at two.
00:38:19Guy Santos has to launch.
00:38:21Pajemski recognized it and buries
00:38:22another three.
00:38:25Poise under pressure.
00:38:28You get the ball movement.
00:38:29You get the movement.
00:38:31And defense was in scramble mode.
00:38:33Eventually something popped open
00:38:34with a pump fake from Santos.
00:38:35Yeah, you got to know Dylan Brooks
00:38:36as hot as he was is going to look
00:38:38to shoot.
00:38:38They played him appropriately.
00:38:40As soon as he comes back in.
00:38:42Witten Post, skip pass.
00:38:44Unable to hit that three.
00:38:48Bouye will push it back.
00:38:51Bill and Brooks, curling one out.
00:39:05Kaminga, nice pass from Butler.
00:39:07Good flash from JK.
00:39:09And Phoenix will take time.
00:39:11It's such a good idea.
00:39:12Jimmy Butler has the ball
00:39:13and he's attacking.
00:39:14Cut from the other side.
00:39:16Never a bad idea.
00:39:17Warriors still up five.
00:39:18Brought to you by Sprite
00:39:21in Phoenix, Arizona
00:39:24with the Warriors up five.
00:39:26And what do you make of Steve
00:39:28with a lot of the quick substitutions?
00:39:30It's almost like he's telling guys
00:39:31go play as hard as you can
00:39:33for a couple minutes.
00:39:35Yeah.
00:39:35And it will sub you in.
00:39:37It's a feel thing for Coach Bear too.
00:39:39Now, Devin Booker,
00:39:40our Kia player profile.
00:39:42He is the only player on the roster
00:39:45originally drafted by the Suns.
00:39:47That is pretty wild.
00:39:48And he went from being
00:39:49one of the youngest guys
00:39:50on the team for a while
00:39:51to being one of the oldest.
00:39:53And he said it.
00:39:54Like, the young guys on their team,
00:39:56they got a lot of 22 and unders,
00:39:5723 and under guys.
00:39:59They keep their energy up.
00:40:00When he's tied,
00:40:01especially on back-to-backs,
00:40:02those guys are the ones.
00:40:04And that's what the Warriors'
00:40:05young guys are expected to do too.
00:40:06Now, he's got zero points right now.
00:40:08Devin Booker does.
00:40:09So he's going to get aggressive right now.
00:40:10Yeah, he heard your voice
00:40:11and missed that three wide right.
00:40:14Dillon Brooks with the rebound,
00:40:15taking it back up.
00:40:17And how about the Warriors standing tall
00:40:19and it's Quentin Post improved defense.
00:40:21We keep saying it almost every game
00:40:23because it keeps happening.
00:40:24Defending at a high level right now.
00:40:26And it really helps that
00:40:28the Suns are 5 for 17 from three-point range.
00:40:31So the Warriors can kind of clog the paint up,
00:40:33make it tough on them inside.
00:40:34Yeah, the Warriors shooting 40%,
00:40:36but they're limiting Phoenix to 36% shooting.
00:40:40And as you said, Booker's been bottled up.
00:40:42He averages 25 a game.
00:40:44Shot clock at three.
00:40:46Dominguez got to make something out of nothing.
00:40:48He was able to hit iron.
00:40:50Brooks headed the other way.
00:40:51He's gone ISO a good amount.
00:40:53If you want to get back to your ball screen,
00:40:55that's never a bad idea.
00:40:56Get some movement out of that.
00:40:58Moody played Brooks really well.
00:41:00So Dillon Brooks becoming a bit of a volume shooter now.
00:41:03He's gone cold.
00:41:03Butler leading the way for the Dubs with 11.
00:41:06He finds some rhythm while these guys are cold.
00:41:11Givion Goodwin got hung up in the air.
00:41:14He's looking to pass that.
00:41:19Dillon Brooks, twitching post, met him.
00:41:22And nice finish by Dillon Brooks there.
00:41:24It's a little off-arm action.
00:41:26He got a tee.
00:41:27He got a tee on Dillon Brooks after the play.
00:41:30I think he wanted a foul with the contact
00:41:33because he corkscrewed around.
00:41:35He got frustrated there.
00:41:36You know when he gets frustrated,
00:41:39he can get super active in a lot of different ways.
00:41:41That's what happened in their last game against the Lakers
00:41:43where he crashed in and LeBron James got kicked out of the game.
00:41:46Dillon Brooks had 16 tees a year ago.
00:41:49That's his ninth already.
00:41:50Ninth.
00:41:50Right.
00:41:50He's getting them at a fast pace right now, stacking them up.
00:41:55But again, this team wanted to be much better defensively.
00:41:59And that's one of the biggest reasons they brought in Dillon Brooks,
00:42:02his mentality, his toughness.
00:42:05But he wanted the foul.
00:42:07I think it was not a foul because Quinton Post kept his verticality.
00:42:11He falls over again, trips over, I guess, his own feet.
00:42:14And he got mad about that.
00:42:15But it was a great finish by Dillon Brooks.
00:42:17But, you know, Quinton's allowed that verticality.
00:42:20And so you kind of play on.
00:42:22And that's how the officials saw the technical free throw made.
00:42:27And they contest every pass in Goodwin fouling Jimmy Butler.
00:42:30I think Warriors just have to adjust to what the Suns are doing.
00:42:35They want to deny.
00:42:36They want to get in the passing lanes.
00:42:37They want to force turnovers.
00:42:38They want to get deflections.
00:42:40And the Warriors are kind of just, you know,
00:42:43they're not getting into bodies and V-cutting
00:42:45and making sure they get open, set some hard screens.
00:42:47If they slip out of it, like you got to.
00:42:50How much do you ball fake and then cut back door
00:42:52if they're overplaying you that dramatically?
00:42:53That too.
00:42:54Get some cuts.
00:42:56The Anthony Melton corner three.
00:42:57Man, the Warriors are getting every corner three
00:43:01that they would want tonight.
00:43:02It's a matter of bottoming a few of these.
00:43:05The ninth-best three-point shooting team in the NBA.
00:43:07Melton missing that three.
00:43:09And here comes Royce O'Neal out of the pack.
00:43:11The Warriors are six of 19 from deep.
00:43:16Brooks, nice pass inside.
00:43:18And Iguodaro paying it off.
00:43:20That's one where Jimmy Butler can keep his body
00:43:22in between Dillon Brooks and the basket
00:43:24instead of trying to deny there.
00:43:26That let him get into the paint.
00:43:27Quinton Post.
00:43:29I think I said something about open corner threes.
00:43:31Well, there you go.
00:43:32Once you get in the paint, good things happen.
00:43:34You force the defense to react.
00:43:36Help has to come.
00:43:39Yeah, Booker's too good.
00:43:40He's going to get going.
00:43:41I love Moody there.
00:43:43Baseline drive, baseline drift, but I'm ready for it.
00:43:46But you contained on the ball, though.
00:43:48That's what I'm saying.
00:43:49You didn't have to help from the corner.
00:43:52And Quinton Post was there, too.
00:43:53So everybody's able to stay home when you somehow contain the ball.
00:43:57Yeah, you have a five-point lead, and Steph only has five points.
00:44:01That tells you the other guys are digging in defensively.
00:44:03Brooks with that fadeaway.
00:44:04He works on that pregame.
00:44:06He must have taken that shot 20 times before the game.
00:44:09I saw that, too.
00:44:09Against the big, he's basically posting up in there.
00:44:15He knows he's got to shoot the fadeaway, but Dylan Brooks has 17.
00:44:22Butler down the lane.
00:44:24Jimmy.
00:44:24All the way to the rim.
00:44:25He's got 14 in response.
00:44:27He went slow at first and then turned the burners on, almost like a fake handoff.
00:44:33Tell you, how about Moses Moody's defensive activity tonight?
00:44:36Yeah.
00:44:36He batted another one out of bounds.
00:44:37Everybody's doing it.
00:44:39They're all privy to it.
00:44:40You're going to stick out like a sore thumb if you're not bringing it defensively.
00:44:43Steph Curry's going to come back in.
00:44:44But this is, I think, the substitution to Ben, give me three hard minutes.
00:44:49That's it.
00:44:49And we'll tag somebody out.
00:44:50It's a relay race tonight.
00:44:52It seems that way, especially with the recent struggles Warriors have had defensively in the last two games.
00:44:57To close, especially.
00:44:58So the Warriors want to sure everything up, make sure they have fresh bodies, fresh legs out there.
00:45:02Draymond and Steph back in.
00:45:05They double-teamed Hooker.
00:45:06And he knocked it away.
00:45:10Draymond was there to get a piece of that with a blocked shot.
00:45:13Loose on the deck and out of bounds to the dubs.
00:45:15How about Draymond Green?
00:45:16He's everywhere.
00:45:17Meeting Brooks.
00:45:18He's everywhere.
00:45:18He was in that double-teamed on Booker.
00:45:20Made him give it up.
00:45:21Then almost to the other side of the court.
00:45:24He went over there and contested Dylan Brooks.
00:45:26Dylan Brooks wasn't ready for him to come over there.
00:45:28The Warriors get another big-time stop.
00:45:30And the rest of the Suns are 8 of 23.
00:45:34So Brooks has been their offensive lifeline.
00:45:37Here comes your ball screen now.
00:45:42Melton didn't settle for the three, but then knocked away.
00:45:45Credit Dylan Brooks with good defense of his own.
00:45:47Good one missing that three.
00:45:52Draymond batted it out.
00:45:53But right back to Phoenix.
00:45:56And Anthony Melton just took it away.
00:45:58And moving your feet.
00:45:59Limit penetration.
00:46:00Anthony Melton can do that.
00:46:02You've got Moody deflecting balls.
00:46:04You've got Melton stealing balls.
00:46:05You've got Draymond blocking shots.
00:46:07And that's how you hold a team to 41.
00:46:12Backdoor cut.
00:46:13There you go.
00:46:14And Butler laying it in.
00:46:15You want to overplay?
00:46:16I'm going to react to you.
00:46:18Yeah.
00:46:18Might as well.
00:46:19And the rest of the defense was lifted.
00:46:21So no help is going to be able to get there.
00:46:24This is kind of a grind-out game that we saw in Philly and Cleveland.
00:46:29The Warriors holding teams to under 100.
00:46:32Now, New Orleans under 100.
00:46:34And that stretch of 4 out of 5 in the Minnesota and Portland got loose.
00:46:38And speaking to get loose, Mr. Booker's got his first field goal.
00:46:41He got that switch and it's Steph with that mean crossover.
00:46:45He's getting inside.
00:46:46Melton inside.
00:46:47Flipping it up and in with the left.
00:46:49Anthony Melton has been active.
00:46:51Getting downhill.
00:46:53Breaking the paint.
00:46:54How would you evaluate the spirit bar?
00:46:56Up 7 right now.
00:46:57It's up.
00:46:58It's definitely up.
00:46:59Everybody that's coming in the game is going dumb hard.
00:47:01You're driving relentlessly.
00:47:03Giving the Suns all they can handle.
00:47:05They're doubling Booker a lot early.
00:47:08Getting it out of his hands.
00:47:10Sidestep Dylan Brooks 3.
00:47:12He is having a night.
00:47:1320 in the first half.
00:47:15Crazy.
00:47:18Just a long closeout.
00:47:20That pump fake at the sidestep is not as easy as he made it look.
00:47:23They get another deflection.
00:47:24Good one there.
00:47:25Still Warrior ball.
00:47:27Mandatory timeout.
00:47:29Minute 54.
00:47:30Remaining in the first half.
00:47:32Suns and Warriors.
00:47:33Always a good one when they get together.
00:47:35Three.
00:47:38Chalpanel with a 17-8 advantage.
00:47:41That's why they lead by four.
00:47:43With a minute 54 remaining in the first half.
00:47:45Our Volvo for life moments.
00:47:48We are enjoying year two of Quinton Post.
00:47:51Not only the offense is defensive activity.
00:47:54Playing with the starters.
00:47:56The development for QP has been a storyline.
00:47:59For me it's the agility to do everything the Warriors wanted to do.
00:48:02Inside, outside, on both sides of the floor.
00:48:05You're guarding pick and rolls.
00:48:07You're containing on the perimeter.
00:48:09You're helping at the rim.
00:48:10Being a presence there on offense.
00:48:12You're picking and popping.
00:48:13You're picking and rolling.
00:48:14You're making decisions.
00:48:16He's all over the court.
00:48:17So he's really taking care of his body so he can move.
00:48:19And you get 27 games into a season and you're the leader in plus-minus on the team.
00:48:25That's big.
00:48:26I mean, one or two games plus-minus, okay.
00:48:28But that's a Tran K.
00:48:30Yeah.
00:48:31And he's a spirit bar guy, too.
00:48:32The energy he plays with, the spirit he plays with.
00:48:34Always keeping the Warriors spirit bar up.
00:48:37Moody three.
00:48:38What a find from Draymond.
00:48:40That was a cross-court pass out of the corner.
00:48:42That's why you move the ball.
00:48:43Make the defense work.
00:48:45Make it move.
00:48:45You force another turnover here.
00:48:47Dylan Brooks turning it over.
00:48:48Jerry Stackhouse like that.
00:48:50He loves the activity of this defense right now.
00:48:52He forced nine turnovers for 11 points.
00:48:55You started it out throwing the ball away.
00:48:59Now you're taking it away.
00:49:00Moody made one.
00:49:01Moody missing there.
00:49:03Pajemski, great effort.
00:49:04Curry on the reload.
00:49:06Steph's two of seven.
00:49:07And you still have the seven-point lead.
00:49:11And you got an offensive foul.
00:49:13Iguodaro shed Pajemski, but a little too physically.
00:49:18Got those elbows out.
00:49:20Iguodaro will say his face was just in the way.
00:49:24But Pajemski is great at taking these offensive fouls.
00:49:31Interesting.
00:49:32Warriors will take it.
00:49:33They're thinking about challenging.
00:49:35They're going to challenge it.
00:49:35So, Phoenix saw Pajemski go down.
00:49:39And they want to coach his challenge there.
00:49:42So, minute 19 remaining in the first half.
00:49:47From our angle at first, it looked like he got caught with an elbow.
00:49:50But on second look, maybe not.
00:49:53Sprite coach's challenge will come back with the result.
00:49:56With the Doves up seven in Phoenix.
00:50:00Getting crew tonight.
00:50:01Curtis Blair played for Richmond when they beat Syracuse in the tournament.
00:50:07Leon Wood played in the NBA.
00:50:08And Eric Dalen was a college tight end.
00:50:11This is going to be overturned, I think.
00:50:12There's nothing egregious about that.
00:50:14He's just in his space.
00:50:15So, yeah.
00:50:16The elbow went to the ribs.
00:50:18Went to the ribs.
00:50:18It did not go to the face.
00:50:20But there was nothing, like, egregious.
00:50:21Like, he didn't get the chicken wing out.
00:50:23He didn't overdo it.
00:50:25He's just trying to pivot.
00:50:26And Pajemski is just in his space.
00:50:29And it is that, yeah.
00:50:31I mean, you see, it's a clear kind of elbow to the ribs.
00:50:34But that happens a lot.
00:50:35He's in his pivot radius.
00:50:37And it was Sprite coach's challenge.
00:50:40But if we had a crew where you had a college player, a pro player,
00:50:44and a college tight end, it's the trio.
00:50:46After the review, there was no contact on the play.
00:50:49Therefore, it would be a successful challenge.
00:50:51It will be Phoenix ball.
00:50:53119 on the game clock.
00:50:5521 on the shot clock.
00:50:57I mean, it's the right call.
00:50:59There was no illegal contact.
00:51:02No, there was definitely contact.
00:51:03But there was no illegal contact.
00:51:04That play happens 20 times a game.
00:51:07Right.
00:51:07Yeah, you're okay with that.
00:51:08But Eric Dalen, the University of Minnesota tight end, Leon Wood,
00:51:12was the number one draft pick in 1984, a gold medal winner.
00:51:15And Curtis Blair is an NCAA tournament star for the Richmond Spiders.
00:51:19And those are our officials tonight.
00:51:21We got the athletes.
00:51:23This is an important minute.
00:51:24Can you close?
00:51:26We've had a pretty good half overall, all things considered.
00:51:29Hooker down the lane.
00:51:30Steph stayed with him.
00:51:31Tough turn fade.
00:51:32Steph Curry playing some great defense.
00:51:35Goodwin got that rebound.
00:51:36He couldn't finish.
00:51:37Third opportunity.
00:51:38And here come the dubs.
00:51:41You haven't shot the ball great,
00:51:43but your defense has kept you more than a float.
00:51:45Well, the effort level for the guys in white jerseys has been excellent.
00:51:51Keep working hard, and good things will happen.
00:51:53Iso Jimmy.
00:51:55On the kick out, Draymond three.
00:51:58Curled it out.
00:52:00Here comes Gillespie.
00:52:01That's why I think get more movement when Jimmy's attacking.
00:52:04Eight-second game shot clock difference.
00:52:07Gillespie missing there.
00:52:08Now, Bojemski, you could spin out and play for one,
00:52:12but you've got to know all the purple people leaders are around you.
00:52:15And you've got a jump ball.
00:52:20So, Brandon got tied up by multiple players.
00:52:23Well, he was like the first one out,
00:52:25and he was just surrounded with none of his teammates around.
00:52:28The rest of them were kind of late getting down the floor.
00:52:30So, he didn't really have an outlet,
00:52:33and all you see is his purple jerseys around him.
00:52:38This is going to be a tough jump ball to win.
00:52:41Niguidaro.
00:52:42They tie him up, and they'll get to play for the last shot.
00:52:51They're going to Booker.
00:52:53And Booker, he played for the foul that never came.
00:52:57Staff from beyond midcourt.
00:52:59And that will do it.
00:53:02So, Phoenix is going to say,
00:53:04hey, we held Steph Curry to five points.
00:53:07The Warriors go, yeah, we held Devin Booker to two points.
00:53:10And so, the Warriors have the seven-point lead at the break.
00:53:14Well, this is their biggest lead,
00:53:15and largely because of defense and a lot of quick substitutions.
00:53:20And Guy Santos, part of that energy.
00:53:22Hey, Guy, how about the shorter substitutions
00:53:24where guys are going 1,000 miles an hour and being rewarded just,
00:53:28all right, tag in the next guy?
00:53:30Yeah, like I said, that was just a short minute stance,
00:53:34but everybody just trying hard, playing hard,
00:53:37and giving 100% on the court.
00:53:39And that works well.
00:53:41I think we're good right now.
00:53:43We just need to adjust some stuff that we need to take care of the ball a little bit more.
00:53:47But overall, I think we did a good half.
00:53:49And speak to the defense.
00:53:50I mean, it's done more than kept you afloat.
00:53:51It's probably the reason you're ahead right now.
00:53:53It's doing a great job on Devin Booker, limiting penetration.
00:53:57What have you thought about your defense?
00:53:59Oh, just like personnel, me, I think.
00:54:02As a team.
00:54:02You and the team.
00:54:03Yeah, okay.
00:54:04So, like, as a team, like I said, we did a good job on Devin.
00:54:08We, I think Dylan Brooks has a couple threes that we were not expecting.
00:54:13But I think we've got to do a better job now on him
00:54:16and keep doing a great job like we're doing on Devin.
00:54:19Guy, thanks for stopping two made threes.
00:54:21Yes, sir.
00:54:21Tell him to throw you the ball more.
00:54:23You're open.
00:54:24Guy Santos joining us at halftime.
00:54:27Is he ever unhappy?
00:54:29No.
00:54:29You've got to love Guy Santos.
00:54:31Fonte, Molly, Festus, Warrior Halftime Live, presented by Jack in the Box, is on the way.
00:54:37And more hybrid models than any other brand.

00:54:45Get your tickets today at sjsuspartans.com.
00:54:49And by Volvo.
00:54:55Perfect they show the cactus because there was some thorny defense played in that first half.
00:55:01This was a grimy game.
00:55:02There's just no two ways about it.
00:55:04Steve Kerr approached it like, all right, play as hard as you can for three minutes at a time.
00:55:09I'll sub in fresh horses.
00:55:11And we saw it on the defensive end.
00:55:12No one else in double figures other than Dylan Brooks.
00:55:15You've got to figure out what you want to do with him because he's a different type of player.
00:55:19His shooting percentage just makes you go, okay, is he going to come back down to earth?
00:55:22Do we fight over screens?
00:55:23Warriors have to talk about that.
00:55:24I'm sure they did at halftime.
00:55:25Offensively, take care of the ball.
00:55:27Keep your movement up.
00:55:28I feel like the Warriors, sometimes they get a little stagnant.
00:55:31Even when they're going iso.
00:55:32You want to let Jimmy Butler make his move.
00:55:34That's fine.
00:55:35You let him go.
00:55:35Then maybe you cut from the other side.
00:55:37Give him an outlet in case he doesn't like what he has.
00:55:40Yeah.
00:55:40Devin Booker and Steph Curry have been bottled up.
00:55:43But Phoenix has had to deal with Jimmy Butler the whole first half.
00:55:47And that's kind of the key for the Warriors and the reason they have the lead.
00:55:50All part of our Buki's Big Time Bifocals brought to you by your Bay Area Chevy dealers.
00:55:54Jimmy Butler.
00:55:56They want him to be aggressive.
00:55:57Look at this.
00:55:58You've got a big on you.
00:56:00Just fake to the left.
00:56:02Hard to the right.
00:56:03He's got all this space in the middle.
00:56:05Devin Booker doesn't really want to help.
00:56:07Dylan Brooks really doesn't want to help.
00:56:08He knows this.
00:56:09It's just you and the big.
00:56:10Use your quickness.
00:56:12Get there.
00:56:12Backdoor cuts.
00:56:14They're overplaying.
00:56:14Look at this where Devin Booker is.
00:56:17He's on the top side.
00:56:18You've got all this space in the middle again.
00:56:20It's the same thing basically.
00:56:22But you're moving without the ball.
00:56:23You have so much space to work with getting inside.
00:56:26The rest of the defense doesn't want to help.
00:56:28I want to highlight the defense though.
00:56:29Look at Steph Curry.
00:56:30You've been talking about moving your feet.
00:56:32On ball defense.
00:56:34Limit penetration.
00:56:35This is their best player.
00:56:36Their leading scorer.
00:56:38Do you want to make the multiple efforts?
00:56:39Can you get some help from TJD on the backside?
00:56:42Yes, you do.
00:56:43Watch TJD come over there.
00:56:45Okay.
00:56:45He doesn't want to go that way.
00:56:46You're moving your feet back the other way.
00:56:49The spacing for them is rubbish.
00:56:51So that helped out as well.
00:56:53Just make them miss.
00:56:54This is the kind of defense we're seeing in the first half.
00:56:57You want to continue that in the second half.
00:56:58Dylan Brooks took 16 shots in the first half.
00:57:02He had the 20.
00:57:02And I think you said it, Kay.
00:57:04Is he going to replicate that in the second half?
00:57:06Or are they going to go to Devin Booker in the second half?
00:57:08I think you might want to start fighting over some of his screens and staying attached to him.
00:57:13Not giving him the airspace.
00:57:15And he's feeling good right now.
00:57:16He's a little too comfortable.
00:57:17Make him feel you.
00:57:18Get physical.
00:57:19Give him a taste of his own medicine.
00:57:21Yeah, you like those Metro T-Mobile stats because the Warrior bench with the advantage at 17-8.
00:57:27Raymond opens the second half, missing that corner three.
00:57:30And Postman over the back for a foul.
00:57:33You like that he's crashing, though.
00:57:35But again, with Dylan Brooks, his three-point shooting percentage being 32% sometimes helps him when he's having a game.
00:57:41Because there's a little indecision defensively.
00:57:43Like, what do we want to do with this guy?
00:57:46You don't want Booker getting foul on jumpers.
00:57:48They're fortunate there that the Warriors got lucky.
00:57:51The average is 25 a game.
00:57:53He's sitting there at 5.
00:57:55Steps averaging 29 a game.
00:57:56He's sitting there at 5.
00:58:00And Butler to the baseline.
00:58:02That is goaltending.
00:58:03And two more for Jimmy.
00:58:05They've elected to keep Williams on Jimmy Butler.
00:58:08And Jimmy Butler's saying, I've got to make this guy pay.
00:58:11So Butler's got 18.
00:58:12Six of nine.
00:58:13Very efficient.
00:58:14Moody blocked that shot.
00:58:15That is effort.
00:58:17Just keep coming from behind.
00:58:21Oh, got around Dylan Brooks.
00:58:23Dropping off to Butler.
00:58:25Prettiest play of the night.
00:58:26Curry and Butler combining.
00:58:29Listen, Steph Curry loves the challenge with Dylan Brooks.
00:58:32He's saying, bring it, Dylan Brooks.
00:58:34I've got answers for anything you want to throw at me, including my handle.
00:58:42Booker getting Steph on a switch.
00:58:45Curry knocked it away.
00:58:46Steph in transition.
00:58:50Took a beat.
00:58:51Little bounce pass to Moody.
00:58:55Draymond's the trailer.
00:58:56Going to set that screen for Curry.
00:58:58Gillespie fouls him.
00:59:00They do this like breathing between Steph and Draymond.
00:59:04Well, this is how you get Steph Curry out.
00:59:05First of all, no one's guarding Draymond Green.
00:59:07And Draymond is so smart.
00:59:09He's saying, instead of me trying to get my own offense here,
00:59:12let me get our guy going.
00:59:13Let me set his screen hand off for him.
00:59:15Just throw it behind my back.
00:59:17He knows which way to go.
00:59:18Switch up the angle on the screen.
00:59:20And then Gillespie's just fighting over the top as every defender does.
00:59:23And Steph is stopping before Gillespie thought he was going to.
00:59:26He just ran into him.
00:59:27Now, in that replay, you want to know how fast Steph Curry processes?
00:59:31He stayed outside the three-point line to make sure he'd get three free throws.
00:59:35Of course.
00:59:35He didn't take an extra step.
00:59:37This is what Steph Curry does.
00:59:38Man, it's like, how does he do that so fast?
00:59:41Just mentally, this guy's behind me.
00:59:43He's going to foul me.
00:59:44Oh, don't take a step.
00:59:44I'm on three free throws.
00:59:45Well, his mind still works.
00:59:47He's still sharp.
00:59:48His body still works clearly.
00:59:50And I said he cares so much about his preparation.
00:59:53You think about some of his off-season workouts.
00:59:56I'm watching videos of him running up sand dunes, running uphill,
01:00:00which is great.
01:00:00Because...
