That Rockets player should have never broken the one rule you don’t do to the Warriors: Give them motivation!!! 😂😂😂😂
They both missed the playoffs 😂
"The dynasty is over!" (The Warriors beat the Mavs). "You cannot ignore the Golden State Warriors!!!!" - Stephen A. 😂
2 faced man
The question was make a deep playoff run and he said they could but not win a title this year because they’re still not formidable enough to beat Denver
@@andrelesueur717they aren’t making a deep run either lucky to get out of the play in. They have to win 2 games, we’ll see if they get it done.
@@OwskiiiGamingToo many casuals like you I swear.. But I don't wanna jinx it so I'll keep my mouth shut until the result that plays out in my mind happens 😂 *We will see* is all I gotta say 👌
They know how to get veiws. This is why JJ Reddick and lebron have a podcast. No BS just basketball talk.
Guys guys guys I have a theory.... If Wiggins plays well, I think the Warriors win more games. What do y'all think?
Bingo!!
100%, when he's aggressive, everything opens up
@@foreverbMTaggressive, looks in rythm with his shots, and that all-nba defensive team calibre Wiggs shows up. That's when we look like a really good team 😂
He was the reason the warriors won that chip in 2022. If he doesn’t play super well they can’t win.
Kuminga didn’t play last night and Steph and Klay played awful too…… GS problems are consistency and turnovers. Moody was balling last night though! Moody has to get more minutes. He’s always good whenever his # is called. He has a 7’1/7’2 wingspan so he can guard the 1-3 very well and he is good at shooting the 3. He brings a lot of energy off the bench but Kerr doesn’t play the dude.
Mad dog will never admit curry is the best shooter ever 😂
which is just crazy, like nobody else is close just give that man his props
@@MrJayKay11 exactly
lol bruh curry been bricking 3s for the last 5 years now... but he supposed to be the greatest shooter@@MrJayKay11
He isn't
You never heard of Bill Sharman though 😂
To be fair , warriors on a 5 game winning streak without their 2nd leading scorer
Exactly right? No one seems to be mentioning this 😂🙄
Idk if we’re better without kuminga or what
@@jaylinthegingerbread8249 we’re not
@@jaylinthegingerbread8249we are most DEFINITELY not.
relax --- Homeless State has mostly played weak, injured &/or young, inexperienced teams during the cute little win streak they're on.
Chiney on I tune in 😍
ayo mad dog is crazy fr 🤣 at 2:11 he talm bout some guy named Bill being a better shooter than steph
Aye Bill got a clip on 2k fr tho 😂
Still have no idea how 6'5 Draymond Green consistently defends 7 footers. If I'm being guarded by someone 5 inches shorter than me I'm attacking him on EVERY play
I think the same way but too He’s just as strong as the 7 footer if not stronger. And he’s smarter
He has an incredible wingspan
6’6 and he’s big in size , not just height, and fast enough as well. He also has high basketball IQ to literally know what the player he’s guarding is going to do
Easier to said than Done 😁😅
He’s a great defender , smart, long wingspan, and the refs let him foul
Let's not act like the Warriors are so inferior to most of the teams ahead of them. They are only 4 games back of the 5 seed, not to mention them and the Celtics have the best record in the NBA over the last 2 months. It's not just these last 5 games.
Yea GS is 20-10 in the last 30 games.
ESPN, This made me laugh so much! Thanks for sharing!
I find it interesting that Mad Dog belittles the Warriors’ winning streak, but would happily glow about Boston’s winning streak when beating similar teams. 😅
There goes SAS with the delusion talk!! Lol smh
I feel like any team let that be Lakers, Golden State, Clippers, Suns, etc. whoever wants to make it out the West is going to have to go through Denver at the end
Denver ain’t nobody
with the exception of the Swimmers & Homeless State, anyone can come out of the West, the Toilet Bowl Nuggets notwithstanding; the Toilet Bowl Nuggets also come across as a one fake chip wonder, the current version of the Ontario Barneys
@thebestever160 ill come back to this comment when denver repeats
@@aye5211 you don’t have to come back to it at all - the Toilet Bowl Nuggets are a one fake chip franchise, plain & simple
@@thebestever160😂😂
Stephen A. Is prisoner of the moment.
Since Draymond got the ankle monitor off, Dubs have the 2nd best record in basketball behind Boston. That’s over a 2 month sample size…
She doesn’t really know ball besides whatever script she gets
@@philliptaborn6675respectfully disagree, my dude. Chiney Ogwumike knows ball.
@@brianmauldin7478 nah lemme stop she does, I’m being a bias fan. But still she did live out that important piece. Also, with everything that went on this season; Kerr coaching struggles, Klays struggles, Draymond suspension, and not too mention the team witnessing their assistant coach’s death at dinner, Wiggins being MIA. For them to be 41-34 it’s not terrible
The Warriors definitely don’t have the second best record the last two months. They wouldn’t be the 10th seed still if that was the case 😂
@@datsapaddlin Celtics are the only team with more wins than the warriors since 1/29.
Stephen A made a video 5 days ago saying the warriors season and the dynasty was OVER. 😂 you can find it in espns recent videos
I’m not gonna lie after what I’ve seen with this win streak I can seriously see the Warriors go on a run to the airport and head for Cancun when the playoffs start.
Bron beats steph again nothig new
4
aint steph like 3-1 in finals nothing new curry winning man u dont know ball
4
@@brycecraig3823 no kd, or ky n love out..this guy lol
I'm A Warrior's fan but the Mavericks is the first Contender we beat in a good while... we just have to figure out how to get moody more minutes when Kaminga is back in the lineup.
So nobody actually believes GSW can beat Denver? After what they did to the Bucks... idk im just saying dont count them out.
Chiney is right. Warriors have had a nice week or two of basketball but this not their year
Mad Dog looking like Judge Judy’s brother. 😂😂😂😂
Stephen A, that jacket tho!
The media’s focus on a 9th & 10th seed on a daily basis is insane.
They ask this question every day lol
The Warriors run to banner number 8 is going to be amazing.
No banner 8 this year.
@@der6519 Never count out The Goat, Chef Curry. Anything is possible with him
@@jagr06 he's washed
😂😂😂 prepare for free agency
And you're delusional 🤡@@siba2379
The Heat didn't have Butler or Herro
The best argument to SA's point is that GSW recently hasn't been performing well in the post-season.
Even Steph has been quite inconsistent this season especially after the all-star break
Anything is possible. They thrive off of people discounting them and saying they're through.
Not gonna lie if the warriors get into the playoff ain’t nobody safe, I’m not even a warriors fans but u know in the playoff they can beat a team like okc
pretty much everyone is safe. i dont think the 8th seed has beat teh 1 seed in over a decade
@@varunaXheat literally beat the bucks last year 🤨
@@davyjoneslocker4859 why did google not tell me that
beating a young, inexperienced team like the Blunder wouldn't be the flex you think it is
They always have a chance their problem is that the choke double digit leads every other game
The Warriors might not get out the play in. What run are they talking about?
"this is an 82 game season" THANK YOU. It's like everyone only cares about the past 10-15 games. They're 10th for a reason.
they have only beeen playing with their current team for half a season. they would be a 5 seed if they had be constructed this way since the beginning
@@MyKeeP81 bro cut the crap. EVERY team has injuries and lineup issues. The media just doesn't report on them because they're too busy worrying about the Lakers and warriors problem's.
when sports teams win fake chips & have fake dynasties, casuals & bandwagoners will delusionally believe in them, no matter what the current reality is screaming at them
Basketball is about runs and streaks. The season only determines the matchups. If the season was an end all there would be no such thing as an upset. The team that goes into the playoffs hot is usually the most dangerous team. Also in a series when you can adjust each game, so if you can’t adjust you are done. This is why they say there is a difference between playoffs and the regular season. The last title the Warrior won they weren’t a top seed, but got hot in the playoffs.
WHAT no calls from the refs? Stfu 🤡
The way the warriors are rolling right now you just wonder what would happen if Draymond could just control himself early on in the season
😂 or if they won a good percentage of those clutch games
@@Jayzfocus26 part of that is because of drraymond missing 19 games
50 win team 😂
Homeless State is winning games, not necessarily "rolling" --- they've also had a relatively weak schedule during this cute little win streak they've been on
@@thebestever160 💀homeless state warriors is actually insane
Talk more baseball Maddog & SAS
Warriors have done all this without the kumbucket
THANKYOU
When he kums back! 💪🏾
@@1zzyduzit I’m so excited to watch him come back I’m about to burst
We’re 22-10 since January 30 that’s wen we got healthy and we’ve been playing great
Steph and Clay have shooting slumps every year they just had better cast behind them in years past smh
Hey who are some of the best NBA shooters you ever got to watch with your own eyes outside of Steph Curry? For me in my younger days was Reggie Miller (crushing my Knicks), Drazen Petrovic, Mark Price, Ray Allen. I know I miss more just off top of head.
So ppl cant stand the Lakers but ya praise a worse seed than them in the Warriors??? Sad
Crazy right?
Two weeks ago these people were dismissing the warriors and now suddenly the team could go on a run in the playoffs again. Just cuz of a 5game win streak. SMH
That’s how dumb they are
Media always flip flops lol
Any team can go on a run, let alone them
Let's not forget, the warriors put themselves in their current standing. Half those losses were tight, tight games. They could easily be a top-4 seed, but defensive lapses and offensive struggles when curry is out puts them battling in the play-in.
Dubs aren't a bad team, they just mad bad mistakes that let teams run back. They have improved that over the last few games. And with 30 on the court, don't ever count out the dubs in a 7-game series
Lakers doing the same thing but they get discredited but warriors get praise lol
It's only cause Stephen A. hates LeBron and has constantly diminished every team he's been on for over a decade, especially since he went back to Cleveland. Meanwhile he rides Steph's nuts more than any other active player.
This girl needs her own show
She’s regularly featured on NBA Today
Mad dog who'd you have in '22
We are going to have a play in tournament with Steph lebron and KD
If the Warriors stay focused, no team want to face them in the playoffs
they are trash , get your head out of your ss
Denver
Lebron
Denver will sweep them anyway. They can run all they want, but they can't hide from Denver.
Lmao. How do you know they are making the playoffs? They’re 10th seed bruh. Wake up!
Please change the live introductory picture. Shannon Sharpe do not host on Wednesdays.
Warriors are 23-10 in the second half of the season. That's #2 in the league!
That’s called coaching by Steve Kerr, challenging your team publicly
This is hilarious. Golden state not beating the Lakers or whoever in the first play in game so why is this even a discussion?
5 games 🤣🤣🤣🤣he’s reallly pushing it
82 game season!!! What would you know about that with a period and PMS once a month 😂
Warriors still a threat from 10th position. If the three musketeers are clicking, they're unstoppable.
Everytime wiggins play well, GS is scary !! H s the X factor for them
Small market teams been tearing it up at the top 3-4 spots for months ESPN like 😒
Scrub Lakers and Warriors won a couple of games ESPN like 😍🙌🙏 "THIS IS IT! They're Coming!"
Consistency will be key. The talent is there I’m a dubs fan but even lastnight all the mental errors and turnovers is the issue. Steph and Draymond will be consistent enough but between Klay, Kuminga and Wiggins..2 of them have to be more consistent, and cull down the mental errors if not they won’t make the playoffs or get out the 1st round. Chris Paul helps!
i love how when the bucks lose to the wizards there’s not a single mention about it but if it were the Celtics, they’d be talking about them all day.
Gsw ain’t going on no run 🤣
Why are we talking about the Warriors this team is gone, Perk would’ve got an aneurism
Warriors beat themselves. They're capable of beating all these western teams in a series.
Could of swore last week on his podcast he trashed them
Embid snuck up on my Thunder squad with that last second roster manipulation
I think Wiggins is the key
Gonna be a magical run for the Warriors this postseason. Never count them out.
Warriors been leading the league in rebounds and they the smallest team lol. I still got lakers over them for play in. Cause Wiggins been mia
Who’s the best shooter
Dubs put me in. I’m not good but oh baby can I warm a bench and draw a foul
Does espn realize they are one loss away from not making the playoffs😂
I love the Warriors.. but I think they are done after the play-in... I hope they prove me wrong... but I am thinking with my head not my heart.
Warriors have to keep themselves ready, no time to rev down when you had a lop-sided season.
They still has the gas to play great basketball and make a run, it's just about how long that gas could last coz we're seeing some inconsistencies on Steph
of course stephen a thinks he warriors can but not the lakers. i think he thinks steph is better than lebron bc he aways thinks steph and the warriors can do anything but not lebron and the lakers.
how is embiid already back. this feels dangerous for a team that isnt a contender with him not 100%
"The dynasty is over!" (The Warriors beat the Mavs). "You cannot ignore the Golden State Warriors!!!!" - Stephen A.
Maybe
Don’t let us in the playoffs, the storyline will change.
No….not bcoz warriors bad …..bcoz rest of the league has caught up them and few had already surpassed them…..the talent influx in last 6-7 years to NBA is insane ….
Matching outfits i see
SA such a GS D rider😂
This is how you know SAS doesn't know true basketball... Mentions star power, deffensive efficiency in a 5 game sample against some of the worst offensive teams in the league and shooting, although this year GS is a middle of the pack team. Pathetic...
It's not like you will come here targeting to be a top comment confessing about how wrong you were if they happen to have a solid run to end this reg season. Meanwhile Stephen A simply said that let's not close that possibility that they might be on a run here. Very different tone than you that pretends like you're a fortune teller and that your scenario will absolutely happen 😳
@@judyclarkson5887 Just chill a little bit and read my comment again... Where have I drawn a scenario?! Your response is just laughable.
Every team can go on a run. But at the same time there's no reason to believe the Warriors.
I’m a dubs fan but Chiney spitting facts, can’t deny. They’re 10th for a reason.
I'm sorry, but I just don't see warriors beating the nuggets in a series.
They’ve done it before granted they were missing Murray but even tho they didn’t win the season series this year it’s always been a close battle so I can see it
Can’t see anyone beating the nuggets lol
Let's be honest warriors aint no threat their time is over they have no chance coming out of the West i don't believe it and i don't see it their dynasty is definitely over.
I hope GSW goes far but in reality they are too small to go further.
They'll run into Denver in the first round and get swept.
Denver is not that good lol stats don’t tell the whole story
@@1zzyduzitthe Nuggets will crush Golden State because the Warriors have no size. That’s the issue
Folks seem to lack realization of warriors 2nd leading scorer being out the past 4 of this 5 games win streak the Kuminga high riser 🔥
It’s because he’s injured that they’re winning. Kuminga is trash in defense and can’t shoot at all. Wiggins and Klay fit Draymond and Curry’s skill set better
@@lwshamilton44 Is that right? And how do you expalin their post allstar 18-3 win streak with him smarty pants?
10th in the West
all year they only talk about lakers and gsw who are ninth and tenth all season
Proven records with two of the most exciting superstars. Until the other teams prove they can go all the way and win it, they are going to be talked about but not as much.
Shamay Ogoomoay wig is off center
Denver still the team to beat in the west 🥱🥱🥱
ESPN the Warriors and Lakers network, gets old everyday they find an away to talk about these 2 teams focus on the new young stars Lebron and Curry can’t play forever.
I like Kaminga but they are doing all this without JK.
Bill Sharman??? I’m already assuming he’s… come on man
She so fine 😍
Man imagine is Kerr didn't absolutely SELL sooo many games with his clearly stupid rotations and unwillingness to play certain players for some bizarre reason. SMH. Only if Klay and Wiggins didn't sell SO MUCH.
I’d rather watch paint dry than Christine Williamson be the most boring person on this show
@@JayCity10 ?
Y’all asking can warriors go on a run ? We are already going on a run right now 5-0 last 5 games and we are best defense in the last 5 games best rebounding team in last 5 games y’all will see the warriors will be the team to beat denver nuggets this year and warriors will come out the west when nobody wanted warriors to go off hate but warriors is coming to show the world they are here
The warriors will be the team to beat denver watch y’all forgetting we beat denver in 2021-2022 playoffs first round it will be the same cause warriors this year is gone win the 2024 championship they coming for it all this year when nobody picked warriors to win the championship steph remembers and hear all the hate and he will show you on the floor #Warriors2024Championship🏆
They beat the mavs now they're title contenders
