Yes if Steve Kerr wakes up. Jackson-Davis needs to play WAY more. Look at how the Dubs opened up a good lead to start the 3rd then he never played again. This should have been an EASY victory. Goes too small with zero rim protector too much. Steph bails Kerr out all the time.
This is not a fluke by any means. But ultimately, I think their lack of size will hurt them come playoff time. Against the Clippers we saw Zubac have a tremendous game, the Cavs dominated them and I think Mazzula just didn't take advantage of it just because of their own style of play. So I wouldn't put them as true contenders yet.
There are levels to this. There is a difference between Luka and the truly transcendent super stars like Steph and Lebron. The thing we never have to discuss with those guys is, if they are in shape. They never cheat the game.
Im in complete agreement, but those 30 games is alot of revenue for the teams and league. I like keeping the in season tournament, expanding it, and eliminating preseason to make it less regular season games, a few tournament games, and an elite post season. *no one asked my opinion lol
West games are too late. Main reason my kids don’t watch is they can’t finish a game. If the games started at 5:30, or 6pm, my kids could watch the whole game and then go have dinner before bed.
as a 25+ years warriors fan i dont mind Legs pumping the breaks AT ALL. We literally just got BLOWN. OUT. by the Cavs. We are gonna struggle against teams with above average bigs all season.
I mean to be fair, they got blown OUT by bigs a lot in 2022 as well, that’s why the Celtics were the favorites in the Finals as well because Warriors didn’t have a big other than Looney
And they managed to win . It's not all about big's all time😊😊😊. Come and play basketball. They managed again to beat the twin towers of Dallas the last last night 😊😊😊@@Caligrown92511
Legs, McCain’s development is a reason to watch this team. If he can defend and consistently hit shots. This team turns into THE clear number one contender barring heath to Boston.
We may not understand it in real time, but some players end their careers with 0 rings, some with 1, some with 2, some with 3, 4, 5, 6. We have to understand that the future has already happened, and so everything that unfolds is already determined. As great as he was, did you really need Barkley’s whole career to play out before determining he’s a 0 rings kinda guy? That Jordan was a 6 rings kinda guy? Shaq was always destined for 4, and kobe always destined to 1up shaq? Idk, if Curry ends this season with a 5th ring, did we really need the season to play out to determine that? idts. I think you can make the call right now. Curry’s intangibles, for some reason, heavily outweigh every other player’s intangibles+tangibles (and I’m talking about shit like him being divinely favored as intangibles, the predestined aura surrounding him). Like this 6’2 dude’s intangibles HEAVILY outweigh KD’s tangibles, right-7 foot, shoot over everyone, long af, etc etc-and yet, how many people still claim KD as the better/more gifted player? And it’s all because of how they rate players’ tangibles vs curry’s intangibles. why does curry keep winning? Despite how pundits claim the warriors always lack size? Despite how pundits claim steph is a terrible defender? Steph gets thrown into every action, Lebron even posted him up how many times, and yet he still currently has the most rings in the league along with lebron (if you want to count the mickey mouse ring). How does this 6’2 guy keep getting away with it? You wanna say he’s lucky? okay, that’s a part of his intangibles that make him so great-again, he’s divinely favored. I’m jsut saying, don’t count steph out.
@@PRODIGY-AND-HAVOC 🥴 that's hilarious, I guarantee you my girl's badder than anyone you've imagined for yourself. Curry fans get toppy idk what to tell you😂🤷🏽♂
@@questgnarnia lol..of course .. just messing with you stud! But I can't read all that after a few of weeks of season w so much to be determined ... I'm rolling with Celtics Mavericks repeat finals ☘️✊🏿
I have a buddy who’s always made the joke, since early in his career, “Jesus is a Steph Curry fan.” While my head tells me that’s ridiculous, God doesn’t pick sides in sporting contests, as the years have passed my heart has begun to feel my friend might have been onto something… 😂😂😂
I dare say Luka hasn’t built the best habits down the stretch of a game. I think it’s perfectly fair to say they could be 2-0 in their last two games if Luka didn’t regress in the late minutes
To add to Adams point at the 15 min mark I think that’s why the warriors won the championship in 2022 And I think that’s why the Knicks was so good last year playing through Brunson It’s not always sustainable but I think less talented teams beat more talented teams when they just keep focusing on that one or two emphases over and over again
Kyrie is the most efficient scorer on the mavericks. Kyrie is almost a 50/40/90 scorer every single year. There should never be a game where Luka takes more than twice the shots of Kyrie when Kyrie is healthy. Hopefully this is Kyrie's last year in Dallas since he can opt out of his contract.
Luka is usually extremely efficient, he's just been Westbrook this season. It sucks. Plus, Luka was the one who carried three quarters here when even Kyrie couldn't get it going. But yea atm Kyrie is the better player.
Honestly Luka is the one blocking their ceiling right now. He’s a drag on their offense at times. If he can get back to where he was, Mavs will be just fine (and I’m sure he will)👌
@@markbantz9699 you think Luka played good against the Celtics in the finals ? The Luka that the broadcast kept making graphics about how terrible he was on defense ?
Think Dallas is a great spot for Klay and in hindsight he will be happy he left GS. Even though GS won the game, and Steph was freakin amazing, Dallas has a better chance to win the west than GS, which is confirmed by the betting odds. Given the NBA is “scripted”, what are the chances for a Dallas/GS match up in the playoffs?
Why would they have a better chance? GS easily looks like the better team right now and their depth is more likely to carry them in the regular season and prevent injuries. They are way more likely to get an easy first round matchup. They’re probably the favorites to get the 1 seed. On top of all of that they have so much flexibility and assets to make a trade. They are honestly primed for a WCF run as long as they don’t run into Denver before then.
I don’t watch any of the Cali teams unless forced . I’m sick of the constant Cali cheerleaders on ESPN, tired of their racism, biased reporting and lebum jock riding . The reason the NBA’s numbers are down is because of their blatant disrespect for European players , BS narratives about aging American stars and 3pt horse game promotions. Try supporting the actual stars and straighten out crooked refs , load managing spoiled stars if the league wants to thrive .
I kind of disagree about the 3 pointers. Case in point when Steph started doing it, ratings were through the roof. I’d blame ratings tanking on last years rule changes by silver. Guys like Bron just run into people all game long and the nba games all essentially became a freethrow contest with no defense allowed. Especially laker games where they’re shooting like 50 ft a game. Not to mention lopsided officiating where one team can play a certain way and the other team gets completely different treatment. It looks so stage. Why would fans watch if the rules don’t seem to matter and change from one game to the next.
Let's all remember that the warriors would've loved to keep Klay but he wasn't going to take a paycut that reflected his true value. It would feel insulting to him. They kept Draymond, who's a worse player and bad for the locker room, but he's cheaper
C'mon Luka is completely 1 dimensional and this game showed it in spades. Doesn't play defense. Out of shape. Acts like he doesn't have any o help. The last shot says it all. No passes. Horrible shot. Not the hot hand. You lose. Every time to a good team.
Last shot was fine. The mavs had to get a 3 to tie and they had to get the shot up quick or the warriors could have just fouled him being up 3 pts. Wiggins played great defense on that and grimes was supposed to set a screen and didn’t.
@@Joe_Ma99Luka needs to pass the ball more at the end of games when he’s got it doesn’t matter he hasn’t been hot though. Kyrie has been scorching multiple games yet Luka takes a lot of the shots down the stretch. That’s why they’ve been losing so far they’re losing in the clutch and Luka’s been terrible at the end of games.
Hopefully now all the casuals (and Curry Stans on twitter trying to make him look greater) will give Steve Kerr the respect he deserves. This year WITHOUT Steph Curry Warriors 3-0 with wins by 13 PPG (killed pelicans twice when they had Zion Ingram healthy) and won @ Rockets (who are 7-3 vs everyone else). Shocked these guys (who I like a lot) didn’t mention that about Warriors 3-0 without Curry murdering teams or give Kerr his flowers. Of NBA coaches EVER to coach as many games as Kerr (including Playoffs 944 games) he has the 2nd highest Win % EVER behind only Phil Jackson! The Top5? Jackson (.701) Kerr (.664) Auerbach (.653) Riley (.632) Popovich (.624) No one else is > .594 but the next 3 all great HOF coaches also Chuck Daily (.594) Jerry Sloan (.593) Spo (.585) Of those 8 great coaches Kerr’s Warriors avg by far most PPG (113.8 and all 4 other teams between 100.9 & 104.9…obviously higher scorning era since he’s been coach 2014-15, but Curry lead teams in his first 5yrs pre Kerr those offenses averaged only 104.2!). PS Adam as clutch as Curry has been in the regular season he’s the least clutch Top10-50 GOAT when it matters the most in the PLAYOFFS. Peep it⬇️ On shots in the PLAYOFFS to tie or take the lead in final 5 mins of 4th or OT Curry is 33.3% (26/78) including 28.6% from 3 (12/42). In the final 1:00 on shots to take the lead in Playoffs Curry 11.8% (2/17) including 12.5% on 3s (1/8)! For comparisons sake LeBron in final 1:00 in playoffs on shots to take the lead is 54.3% (19-35) including 60% on 3s (3-5). Ppl gotta stop believing false narratives and do their own research on stathead (I know you normally do Adam as well as Synergy, CTG, Dunksand3s etc).

@RenardGarzaro it's about what they are Joe Burrow went to Bengals the Bengals blew out his knee his rookie year cause his oline is crappy and dragged his crappy oline to the SB his 2nd year beating KC almost won the SB ..he's still putting up points it's sad his HC makes head scratching decisions and his defense is bad so stop making excuses
📣WE WANT TO HEAR FROM EVERYONE📣
Do you consider the Warriors to be championship contenders or not?
Yes. Definitely. This is not a fluke or a reflection of a favorable schedule.
Today they are a 3 seed . Kuminga improving throughout the year . And more importantly a trade will happen at rue trade line . If the trade pans out ( yes )
Yes if Steve Kerr wakes up. Jackson-Davis needs to play WAY more. Look at how the Dubs opened up a good lead to start the 3rd then he never played again. This should have been an EASY victory. Goes too small with zero rim protector too much. Steph bails Kerr out all the time.
This is not a fluke by any means. But ultimately, I think their lack of size will hurt them come playoff time. Against the Clippers we saw Zubac have a tremendous game, the Cavs dominated them and I think Mazzula just didn't take advantage of it just because of their own style of play. So I wouldn't put them as true contenders yet.
Yes. Especially if they trade for Jimmy Butler.
Legs is one of the best analysts. It's really good to hear his perspectives. Thanks for this channel
Curry shows why he is still one of the most dominate players in the game.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 so dominant he has missed the playoffs 3 out of 5 yearsv
curry is also one of the most disrespectful players in the nba! oh i wished that night night would have blew up in his face!
Dang, a you tube video that matches the quality of the game. Great job, guys❤
Thanks for watching!
The one ugly thing about the Warriors so far this season has been their free throw shooting. It's terrible.
They also don’t have good rim protection.
It’s inexcusable for guys to be sub 80% freethrows as pro players claiming they want to compete for titles.
There are levels to this. There is a difference between Luka and the truly transcendent super stars like Steph and Lebron. The thing we never have to discuss with those guys is, if they are in shape. They never cheat the game.
Let’s go Warriors!
Love this show, great job guys!
A 52 game season would make every game night a movie
Im in complete agreement, but those 30 games is alot of revenue for the teams and league.
I like keeping the in season tournament, expanding it, and eliminating preseason to make it less regular season games, a few tournament games, and an elite post season.

@@markbantz9699 you think Luka played good against the Celtics in the finals ? The Luka that the broadcast kept making graphics about how terrible he was on defense ?
Dallas was missing PJ, Exum and Maxi (DNPCD but just got cleared). I wouldn't say that they had everyone.
Cool story man, but they were not stopping #30 from dropping 37 on them. We'll see when they play next time.
yes pj is a big help to dallas
As a Warriors fan I’m happy Klay is gone, he was holding the team back with his bad attitude and poor play.
Tim lookin young and vibrant. Tim! How many points do 100 rec league guys get in a 2-2 tourney with you and Brian Scalabrine?
Think Dallas is a great spot for Klay and in hindsight he will be happy he left GS.

Given the NBA is “scripted”, what are the chances for a Dallas/GS match up in the playoffs?

Why would they have a better chance? GS easily looks like the better team right now and their depth is more likely to carry them in the regular season and prevent injuries.

This is the point where Dallas bonds and becomes what they can be or this is where they point fingers and fall apart!
There’s a Kyrie element with the Warriors too
Will Yuki play since Ja is not playing?
Daryl Morey was the biggest mistake by the sixers. He built sixers to beat Boston only😂😂😂.
The same way he built Huston to beat GSW🤣
Mavs will have that 23-24 Klay experience.
kyrie is amazing but his late turnovers are bothersome!
Klay should have stayed in GS
I feel ya, but at the end of the day, GSW didn’t want him. Not management for Klay’s price.
If golden state loses that game imagine how different everybody would be talking! they had to win! if not their whole staff looks wrong!
