00:00I thought everybody would be in a little better mood today.
00:02What you mean?
00:04That's the norm.
00:05That's all that matters.
00:06Well, he was hoping they won Friday from his bed, but they didn't.
00:13Well, I could pose.
00:16Go ahead.
00:17Okay, so would you rather the Warriors have won?
00:20Oh, stop coming right.
00:21No, come on.
00:22That's a no contest.
00:24But, I mean, man, what do you do, man?
00:26What do you do?
00:28And you're not going to like this.
00:30Rehab time.
00:31We're talking about norm, right?
00:32I'm still holding on to Wednesday night, man.
00:34Good for you.
00:35That'll last all summer if you want.
00:36It can.
00:37I can prorate it.
00:39Oh, yeah.
00:40Where do you go from here?
00:41And it starts with the head coach?
00:43I mean, like, do you understand just the gravity of Draymond,
00:46what you just played before the break?
00:48Sports gravity.
00:50Yeah, him now saying, I don't think he's coming back.
00:53Something's going on.
00:54And it could all be love, but at the end of the day, it's just, you know what?
00:57The owner wants to go in a different direction.
00:59But it feels that way now.
01:01And I told you when we sat down with him a couple weeks ago,
01:04I felt there was a finality, the tone in his voice, the look in his eye.
01:10But it was before this.
01:12And to sit there and grab two players and say,
01:14I don't know what's going to happen,
01:16leads me and the nation to believe, well, you're not in control of it.
01:21Yeah, I'll tell you what's on my mind.
01:24Let's say, like, Friday night, what time did it tip off on Friday?
01:27About 7.
01:28Well, I was upset.
01:30It got to us on Prime.
01:31It was 10 to 2.
01:32We missed buckets.
01:34So if, let's say tip-off was about 7.
01:37Yeah.
01:38Like, do you think Steph had his Coachella tickets before that game started last Friday?
01:43Well, we're talking about millionaires.
01:45No, I know, I know.
01:45With the world at their disposal.
01:47I'm just wondering.
01:48Do you think he had Coachella hanging over his head?
01:50I'm uncomfortable with the conversation.
01:52Who cares what you do after?
01:55Because I thought that, well, you were the guy.
01:57Tell me.
01:58Okay, so let's get this straight.
02:00Let's cry during the national anthem.
02:01Let's get this straight.
02:02That I didn't like, yeah.
02:02Who were the 49ers when they lost that Super Bowl,
02:06they went to a party and you hated it.
02:09I don't know.
02:09Steph Curry's been eliminated.
02:11And the next day, he's partying at Coachella.
02:15I'm just saying.
02:16I thought you might have a problem with it.
02:18I didn't.
02:18But I guess not.
02:19And I found out that Niner party later was scheduled.
02:23So, I get it.
02:24You don't just got to go in your room and, you know, cry.
02:30What if he would have gone to Coachella if they had won?
02:33He was the reason they were playing in that game Friday anyway.
02:37What do you mean?
02:38What he did wins.
02:40Oh, you're dismissing the 40 games he missed during the regular season.
02:43That hurt.
02:44I got you.
02:45Veggie says they can get a ticket anytime.
02:47I'll bet you they can, too.
02:50I mean, who was that?
02:51Do you know what?
02:51Did your daughters go?
02:52Any of your daughters participate?
02:54Coachella?
02:54Yeah.
02:54No.
02:55That's for old people.
02:57I don't even know an act.
02:57That's for guys your age and mine.
02:59I don't even know an act that was performing.
03:01Justin Bieber.
03:03I think that's who Curry was seeing.
03:05Seriously.
03:06I'm being serious.
03:07Right, Evan?
03:08Evan, is that Justin's old material from way back?
03:12Curry saw Justin Bieber on Saturday, right?
03:14He did.
03:14Yeah, he was headlining at Coachella on Saturday.
03:16Evan, I guess I'm asking.
03:18I was a Beaver fan.
03:20This is old stuff?
03:22Or does Justin have something the last couple of years?
03:24Bangers that I don't know about?
03:26Well, he came out with a new album recently.
03:28Hello?
03:28But I'm sure he did play a lot of his older stuff.
03:31All right.
03:31All right.
03:33I've seen him.
03:35How was he?
03:36He's incredible.
03:37Quite frankly.
03:38Name a Justin Bieber song.
03:40I can't.
03:40He was just really good in concert.
03:42Where'd you see him?
03:45He was that good, huh?
03:47I think it was the arena.
03:48It was either Chase or the old place.
03:51Sounds memorable.
03:52I believe you.
03:54I might be getting him mixed up with somebody else.
03:57No, I saw Justin Bieber.
03:58Did you know when you saw him?
04:00Oh, it must have been 10 years ago.
04:03Oh, stop, man.
04:04So he was like barely an adult?
04:07Yeah, I took my kid.
04:08You went to go see the Biebs?
04:09With my daughters, yeah.
04:10Oh, now I'm believing you.
04:10With two of my daughters.
04:11All right, now I'm believing you.
04:12Yeah, it was great.
04:13You just, what you do is, you just keep the daughters in the arena, then you go up to
04:18the, you know, to the concession stand, and that's where you see all the parents.
04:25Oh, boy.
04:26All right.
04:28Let's see.
04:28Who's been hanging in there?
04:29Oh, boy.
04:30Coach in Vallejo.
04:31Our man.
04:32Our man.
04:33I know.
04:33We got to get Kaminga back.
04:35And then we got to get this thing rolling again.
04:38Kaminga's in the playoffs, Nitey, so we could, yeah, he's busy.
04:42What's up, coach?
04:43Hey, guys.
04:44Hey, Stine, you got to be cracking up here.
04:46That was funny.
04:47That was funny.
04:49But, you know, here's what I want to say about the Warriors, and hopefully the last, this
04:54is all over with, mercifully.
04:56Number one, not only do they not have very talented players, these players have no charisma.
05:03They don't even connect with the fans.
05:06But, and, and, and, and, and, Andu, you know what?
05:08Despite Sayyam if you like for Jim Sears' game.
05:12Okay.
05:12Sayyam if you like what he's doing.
05:13His personality is what people don't like.
05:16Now, I figured that out.
05:18No, I figured that out.
05:19Yeah.
05:19You know, they don't like his cockiness.
05:22They don't like his hair flopping around like Reggie Bullock or somebody.
05:26They don't like that type of stuff.
05:28So, they like the clean-cut, conservative Steph Curry type of guy.
05:32Okay, that's the Bay Area type of athlete.
05:36You know, Deshaun Livingston, Andre Iguodala type, Harrison Barnes.
05:40So not only are they not good enough, they don't have the personality.
05:45He's good, but he's not a starter and he's quiet.
05:49Okay, Kamingo brought flair, even if he didn't like his game.
05:52He brought flair and excitement.
05:54That's what the fans need, excitement and talent.
05:58They're devoid of both.
06:00And you know what, Mike Dunleavy is the, I mean, you're talking about a dull guy.
06:06Mike Dunleavy is super dull.
06:08Her, super dull.
06:10We need some excitement back in the Bay Area.
06:12That's why I'm more of an athletics fan than I am a Giants fan.
06:15The athletics are fun.
06:16They're Sacramento.
06:18That's no Bay Area.
06:19I hear you, Coach, on that, though.
06:21That's not the Bay Area.
06:21I hear you on that.
06:23You know, I mean, you're watching Kurtz and Butler and Denzel Park
06:27making those plays out there.
06:29Who do the Giants have?
06:31I mean, come on.
06:32You got Devers.
06:33Who's 108 years old.
06:34You know, you got Fat Devers.
06:36You know, that's who you got.
06:38So, anyway, I think the Warriors need to get them some more flair
06:41and some more talent.
06:42You know what?
06:43They need to get the most exciting flair in the draft.
06:45They really do.
06:46You know what, Coach?
06:47You just, I just got an idea.
06:49What'd he do?
06:50So, he said Kaminga's got flair.
06:52I think, what do you think about this nickname for Kaminga?
06:57Tchotchke.
07:01What does that mean?
07:02I don't know.
07:04Tchotchkes.
07:04They're little pins.
07:06They're called flair, like, that you wear on your lapels.
07:10You know, like when you have 18 buttons, they say you have flair,
07:13and they're called tchotchkes.
07:15They're these little, tchotchkes are little things that really don't mean anything,
07:21but they're there.
07:22Not your best work.
07:24You've never seen one of the greatest movies of all time, Office Space?
07:29Who's in it?
07:32Jennifer Aniston.
07:33Oh, my girl.
07:34But she doesn't have a big part.
07:35Wow.
07:35But she works at, like, a TGI Fridays place, and they all wear tchotchkes,
07:43which sparkles up their uniform, but yet it's really just still a fast food chain.
07:48You know what I mean?
07:49But the tchotchkes, they give it flair.
07:52I'll tell you.
07:53Charisma, if you will.
07:53Well, flair in my book was a move when we breakdance,
07:56and that's when you open your legs up and spin on your back, Stoney,
07:59and you keep going.
08:00But I'll say this to Coach Invaleo.
08:03He got it wrong from this standpoint.
08:06My flair is I want the dudes on the court in the starting five to have the flair.
08:12My coach and GM can be bumps on a pickle, and sometimes it's better that way.
08:17And I'm just saying, Coach Invaleo wasn't calling and saying that about Kerr
08:21and the GM when we had Durant, when we had Sizzle, and we had all that steak,
08:26and we were cooking with grease.
08:29So it's about the players, and I'm just wondering how they're going to navigate
08:33getting some better talent in here.
08:36But what truly has me excited, until the day does come and go, the night of the lottery,
08:43I just feel like something's going to go the Warriors' way,
08:46and we're going to come in here, and it's going to be a game changer.
08:53You know, as good as it would be to move up,
08:57I don't know that it would be necessarily a huge game changer.
09:00Like, so do you anticipate if the Warriors were to move up into the top four
09:04and they take somebody, you envision that player?
09:08Top seven rotation, like top seven or eight.
09:11He would get Will Richard on steroids.
09:13Okay, and then, all right, so you don't expect that guy to bring you a championship
09:22in the Curry, either.
09:23No, no.
09:24Well, hey, I'm watching, but again, you know me, and I'm like, Coach,
09:29we want something to look forward to, and that's why, say what you want,
09:34the Kaminga thing debacle was just another reality check of if you were pro
09:39or anti-Kaminga, he was something for the future that is now gone
09:44and, to be honest, has not been replaced in a hope standpoint.
09:50This new draft person is, hopefully, it's a, you know, top five pick
09:54or top three, whatever, Sonny, top one, but you know what I mean.
09:57Yeah, and I remember talking, maybe you weren't here when it was Thursday or Friday.
10:03I wasn't.
10:04No, I think, I don't know.
10:05It was a, I can't think of the name.
10:11I can't think of the name.
10:12I turned it on when you snitched on me.
10:14No, it's the crossover.
10:15I couldn't even remember the crossover.
10:17Our guys.
10:17And I'm with, if the Warriors were sitting with Jordan Poole
10:20and Kaminga right now, you wouldn't feel better about the future.
10:26Well, that's kind of unfair, and I think I was here when Willard said that,
10:30or they were on remote.
10:31So, the bottom line is, there were junctures where I felt hella good about both players.
10:36Right.
10:37But now it's easy for you to say, once the dust has settled.
10:39Well, that's right.
10:40And one new guy hit in the face and career ruined.
10:42Right.
10:42And the other guy traded, still playing in the office.
10:45You know, it's kind of easy to say that, but the best part about those two players was,
10:50well, not Poole, because Poole looked like he was about to take the mantle
10:53as far as he could take it to where we could be excited about him.
10:57But those are both, both those guys are gone.
10:59Yeah, I mean, now looking back, I don't, like if, yeah, Poole was great in 2022.
11:09Oh, Stiney, man.
11:10Kaminga had his ups and downs here.
11:12Yes, he did.
11:12The bottom line is, if we would, if they would both still be here,
11:16and we were saying, well, they're going to be here after Steph, I'm sorry.
11:21I don't think we'd be saying, boy, they got a nice one-two punch after Curry leaves.
11:27I just, I don't see it.
11:29Right now, they're two, Poole's a marginal player, and Kaminga's not where he needs to be yet.
11:36And Pods is playing too much.
11:38Exactly.
11:40888-957-9570.
11:42You're listening to 95.7 The Game, KGMZ-FM and HD1 San Francisco and Odyssey Sports Station.
11:48Always live on the free Odyssey app and now broadcasting from the Laughing Monk Studios.
11:52Let's go to Big Smoothie in Oakland.
11:56Our man.
11:56Hey, Smoothie.
11:59Hey, Goop.
12:00What's up, baby?
12:02He was pretty good.
12:03Hey, that didn't age well on Wednesday.
12:05No, he didn't.
12:06He was hidden.
12:07Yes, he did.
12:08Hey, but you can see where he got hurt on Wednesday.
12:11I saw it, and I was like, oh, man.
12:13And you can see Steph a little hobbled.
12:16But anyway, I'm thankful for Wednesday.
12:18Wednesday made Friday a lot easier to digest.
12:21It's okay.
12:22I'm hearing Willie Green.
12:25I wouldn't mind Terry Shots.
12:27I mean, you know, they're going to get somebody who knows how to use Steph.
12:30They're not going to bring in a whole new system.
12:33So, it's going to be a guy who's familiar with Steph.
12:35And that's fine.
12:36At this point, man, I personally, in a perfect world,
12:40would love to see Porzingis, Jimmy Butler, Steph Draymond, and Big Al.
12:48I would love to see that.
12:50I don't know if it's possible.
12:51I think it's happening.
12:51But I would love to see that.
12:52Yep.
12:53I would love to see it.
12:55Now, and they're going to get a good pick, man.
12:56This draft is loaded.
12:5811, 12, 13.
12:59You're going to get a good pick.
13:00Now, again, I don't know about you guys,
13:03but I'm not super confident in our talent evaluation.
13:07I mean, you know, Will Richard was a good pick.
13:09I'm good with that.
13:10Will Richard was a good pick.
13:12But I agree with you, Stiney, man.
13:14We're looking at, first of all, let me say this.
13:18Jalen Green, man, hats off, brother.
13:20If you go back and look at some of them shots, you wouldn't hear me?
13:24He balled out.
13:25Now, let me ask you this.
13:27Is that what was Poole supposed to be Jalen Green?
13:33Is that what people were thinking, that Poole would be Jalen Green?
13:38Jalen Green, hey, hats off, man.
13:40We humiliated him last year.
13:42He comes back.
13:43He's not over-anxious.
13:45He's balled out.
13:46Hey, he's single-analy, in my opinion.
13:48He won that game.
13:49It's incredible.
13:51Yes, movie.
13:51It's incredible.
13:52But the Warriors arguably got him traded off his last team with how bad he was in this
13:58personally, in the series last year against the Rockets, but never in it when he was on
14:04the Rockets, but never in a million years, Stiney, would I have thought he would throw
14:07up the 3-8 magnum on us.
14:10Never.
14:11What?
14:12Like, why?
14:13Do you think he was garbage?
14:14No, you know I'm a fan, 36.
14:16You know I'm a fan, but I just, I thought he had warrior-itis.
14:21I just thought the side of the Warriors jersey, and, you know, that series just being last
14:25year, and he hadn't played a full season.
14:28He was dealing with some stuff, but he definitely went out there and reminded everybody, and
14:33mainly the Warriors, just how good he is.
14:35Like, man, who could guard him?
14:38I'm being honest, nobody.
14:40Who can guard him next year?
14:41But not the Moses Moody before he got hurt.
14:43There's no, just to make it more difficult.
14:45So, I did think about Moody when I was watching my man go for 36.
14:49And maybe Moody couldn't have stopped him, he would have gave him the business, but he
14:53looked like he was at Open Gym in Fresno.
14:55Like, I got this.
14:56I'm getting to where I want to go.
14:58I might miss it, and then I'm hitting from deep.
15:01Stiney, 8 of 14 from 3.
15:02He was comfortable.
15:05Don Dada, Stiney, you called him garbage.
15:07Oh, no, I didn't.
15:09I had him in my draft.
15:11What draft?
15:12With Evan.
15:12Evan and I drafted.
15:13I had to take him.
15:14And the reason I took Jalen Green is because Jalen Green, if he didn't play great, the
15:23Suns still could have won that game on another night.
15:26Here's the thing, when I look at a guy like Jalen Green, and I know that he can be good
15:30and bad.
15:31Right.
15:32The Warriors don't have a player who can score 36 like he just did.
15:36They're like, Pods can't do it.
15:38Moody can't do it.
15:40None of their younger.
15:41At one point could do it.
15:43Okay, well.
15:44Yeah, I got you.
15:45I mean, this guy went 8 for 14 from 3-point range.
15:48Man.
15:48He was 14 for 20 from the floor.
15:51And, like, the beauty is, like, the beauty is, like, they don't, he only played 30 games
15:58this year for him.
15:59Yeah.
15:59And so, like, Houston last year had to rely on him more than the Phoenix Suns do this
16:06year.
16:06Man.
16:06And so, when he has a game like that, they're going to be tough to beat.
16:11Now, what about the sentiment from some Warrior fans?
16:14I don't agree with, because we don't know if it would have played out.
16:17But yesterday, we saw, it was blowout outside of Orlando upsetting Detroit.
16:23Detroit, do you feel any better or relieved that the Warriors weren't handed an L in game
16:30one of the game that they wouldn't have been prepared for because it was on short notice?
16:35Did that make you feel any better?
16:37Because I didn't, I would have rather saw the Warriors just play a playoff game and get
16:40ready for game two, even if they would have lost by 20.
16:44And that's why Friday kind of hurt.
16:46I don't think they would have played anybody on Sunday, yesterday, against the Oklahoma
16:50City Thunder if, had they won that game.
16:53Let's go to Binker Bryant in Foster City.
17:00Hey, what's going on, man?
17:02Hey, what's up, y'all?
17:04Hey, hey.
17:04Happy Monday.
17:06Hey, hey.
17:06Yep.
17:07Hey, so, quick question.
17:09If you guys are talking about Steve Kerr maybe potentially leaving, if he does end up
17:14stepping away, who out there is worthy enough to coach Stephen Curry's potential final season
17:22and still keep the Warriors at a championship level?
17:25Like, I mean, there's like Michael Malone.
17:28I mean, I don't know, Chris Quinn or hell, maybe even Mark Jackson.
17:32I don't know, full circle moment.
17:33But just, you know, who do you think is worthy end up to fulfill those two?
17:42Basically, that's what we're looking for, right?
17:43If Steve Kerr wasn't stepped down, that would be my biggest concern.
17:46All right.
17:47Who can help, you know, Curry really, you know, still be good and still take it to the
17:51championship?
17:51At least have a chance.
17:55Well, and I think that's the problem.
17:56Yeah, and Malone's in North Carolina.
17:59You know, I mean, and he may have said it by accident, but he said, who do we get to
18:03keep the Warriors at a championship level?
18:05I was going to jump in.
18:07Send that ship to sail.
18:09Well, I mean, to me, a Stackhouse or a Stott's makes some sense.
18:14But then you're looking at it through the two-year prism.
18:16I don't like that.
18:17I want to get my new Curry.
18:18It's going to be here, you know, Doran Curry, what's left, and then after.
18:26I don't know who that guy is.
18:27Sam Cassell.
18:29I was watching him like, man, is he going to get an interview?
18:31Do you?
18:35Maybe.
18:36I don't know.
18:37I was just, I was ready for you, but you eased up.
18:39I mean, you got to get Sam.
18:41I'm just saying.
18:43Sam Cassell.
18:44His name's been brought up a couple times here and there.
18:49But no, I, like, if Steph's going to be around for another two years, I don't know that there's
18:55a coach you can hire, who you can say, well, let's get somebody for the last couple years
19:00at Curry, and then that same guy will be perfect for after Curry.
19:04I feel you on that.
19:06But it might be what you have to do.
19:10I want to play this from Draymond Green because I got a theory here that I want to run by
19:15some
19:16Warrior fans.
19:17This is Draymond Green.
19:18He's got a player option.
19:21He can either become a free agent or he can just play under next year's 27.
19:27We got pods.
19:28Okay.
