Didn't feel like it. It was a complete throwaway game where they got trounced by 40. Saturday night, they bounced back to it. They played just about everyone but Al Horford. Some guys step up, specifically Steph Curry, a 20-point third quarter. He finishes with a team high 31. Not a game high.

We'll get into Draymond's ejection in just a bit and how the Warriors started protecting the basketball, coincidentally, after that moment. Let's …”

“… shot over there. Someone makes a shot over here. They could be sitting, you know, closer to where Phoenix is in the standings. Right. Similarly, the Warriors have been hovering right around 500 in large part because they've lost 11 clutch games this year. It's been a combination of issues. Their clutch defense has been terrible. They're about a 127 clutch defensive rating and they've had a very high turnover rate in crunch time. They're turning the ball over and over 15% of their possessions in crunch time.

“… I think they're better than their record because of clutch basketball. Like the Lakers are 20 and 11 because they're 10 and 0 in clutch games. You know, a couple of those go a different direction. Austin Reeves misses a floater. Somebody misses a shot over there. Someone makes a shot over here. They could be sitting, you know, closer to where Phoenix is in the standings. Right.

And then the road trip that they have at the end of January, it's still a Western conference one. So like, you know, a little less, less problematic. They don't leave the, they don't go West of Texas again until after the all-star break. That's that's like, so they go, so they're, they're super home heavy in January. And then there's some, you know, road trips to like the central, you know, like the, the Dallas is the Minnesota is the Utah's the world, but there's no East coast trips. There's none of the crazy cross country trips. So I mean, this is probably the stretch. This is the stretch that's going to define …”

“… will take a big deep breath. Then they'll have the Steph homecoming in Charlotte and hopefully start the new year in a good way if you're a Warriors fan. The fact that they played in Brooklyn and they had to play as hard as they did in Brooklyn is another sign that this team just isn't made up the way everybody wanted them to be. As you guys are having the conversation, though, and we're going through all these different games, I thought NBC Bay Area put up a hell of a stat in that Brooklyn contest, talking about all the games the Warriors had to lead late and just blew down the stretch. …”
“Tim, I think the point about them playing in Brooklyn is really well taken. When this trip started, even a couple of months ago, you're looking at that game going, those guys aren't playing there. This will be the group night off for everybody. Everybody will take a big deep breath. Then they'll have the Steph homecoming in Charlotte and hopefully start the new year in a good way if you're a Warriors fan. The fact that they played in Brooklyn and they had to play as hard as they did in Brooklyn is another sign that this team just isn't made up the way everybody wanted them to be. As you guys are having the conversation, though, and we're going through all these different games, I thought NBC Bay Area put up a hell of a stat in that Brooklyn contest, talking about all the games the Warriors had to lead late and just blew down the stretch. What I come back to in watching them is the game that I think hurts them the most recently. The Toronto game's awful and it was really bad. The game where the red flag should go up the most is that game in Portland when Steph hit 12 threes and they still couldn't win. It speaks to what you guys are saying. It's not just that the Warriors can't be …”

“… a game. Get the F out of here. What's so good about, like, again, if you want a cheerleader show, go to any of the other programs that cover the Warriors. And I'm sure they're saying great things about Pajemski, but what are we doing here, man? Are you kidding me? Like, Chosen, who says big shots. Well, how about shitty defense? Those big shots were desperately needed to make up for the fact that he's a defensive sieve out there. The dude is a literal pasta strainer. People just pick him apart when he plays defense. Do you just ignore that whole side of the game? That's half the game. It's …”
“… I'm not mentioning his points because his points are, they never stick out. And then the assists, which I constantly bring up. Yeah. He gets three today, three. But people want to say he's been playing good lately. Why? Because he averages 12 points a game. Get the F out of here. What's so good about, like, again, if you want a cheerleader show, go to any of the other programs that cover the Warriors.

Do you just ignore that whole side of the game? That's half the game. It's amazing. It's crazy because people are only looking at it one-sided when it comes to Brandon Pajemski. Like, don't get me wrong. I don't personally hate the guy outside of basketball. I think he's like a chill, standard dude. Like, I think he was from Illinois and went to Santa Clara and stuff. He's an all right guy.”

“… And I get that the Bucs don't have a lot of first round picks moving forward, and they have to stay competitive. But as I've said, that's where the Warriors have the advantage. They can offer three unprotected first round picks to go along with Draymond, to go along with Kuminga, and to go along with Pods should it be those three involved in a trade for Giannis. And if you need other players to match, you can always send back guys like Cole Anthony, who I believe is a serviceable backup to Steph Curry. So it's really just an inevitability, and the Bucs are currently in denial that they have to …”
“… as they're going to keep trying and trying and trying, but when you're doing the same thing over and over again, and it's not working, and you expected things to change, eventually you got to come to that realization that you got to blow it up.

So it's really just an inevitability, and the Bucs are currently in denial that they have to trade Giannis. But come the trade deadline, I am almost certain that he gets traded to the Warriors for those three picks, and Draymond, and Jonathan Kuminga, and maybe Pods or Moses Moody. It's going to happen, just watch.”
