  • right, Just like the saddest soap opera I've ever seen.

  • I'm like four breakups in one montage.

  • I don't think I e don't think I can end the producer meters in the control room.

  • There's some Kleenex.

  • I'm just saying Go ahead assed Faras This season.

  • In the best case scenario, I think this words team is about a five or six seed.

  • A Steph is Steph.

  • If he stays healthy, he's gonna get a ton of points.

  • He's gonna be exciting his hell toe watch.

  • But the shooting around him, especially from distance, is concerning.

  • Kluber and Andrew Wiggins have got to take their game to a different level.

  • The Warriors love Wiseman, but I don't know how much higher they could go if everything stays on track more than a five or 60.

  • Well, Nick, I have to agree with you.

  • I strongly believe, though, that the Warriors could finish in the top five.

  • When you look at what stuff is going to do this year, I feel like he's gonna have MPP type season.

  • Andrew Wiggins and Kelly, you pray, is going to flourish well with the Warriors because of the culture.

  • Because of that veteran leadership in Steph Curry and also Draymond Green Trademark Green is gonna come back feeling great now that he has some fresh bodies, some guys that can actually go out there and put the ball in the basket.

  • And James Wiseman, Kevin Loony, They're gonna be great for them also.

  • So even Pascal.

  • So I'm looking at this Warriors team and they could finish top five.

  • Well, look, this is the team that I think is confounded experts the most.

  • I've seen predictions of them being not even just out of the top eight.

  • Being out of the playing bracket on.

  • I've seen people like yourself.

  • Park picked them is top five, so we will have to see.

  • That's why they play the games is our friend Herman says the plot twist for Golden State.

  • Of course, the addition of James Wiseman.

  • They drafted second overall just a few weeks ago.

  • Perk.

  • How much do you expect him to be able to contribute in Year one?

  • He's going to contribute a lot one.

  • He's already en ba ready, in my opinion.

  • Rachel.

  • Yes, I haven't seen a play for from him being around Mike Miller and Penny Hardaway.

  • Now he's able to come into our organization organization that has a great culture that has a great cultures and Ron Adams, Steve Kerr, Mike Brown.

  • And then you bet.

  • Then he's able to learn from a Dre Mark Green, who has one of the highest basketball accused in the game today.

  • I think the sky's the limit for him and he's gonna contribute and he's gonna help the Warriors this season.

  • Rates perk is right.

  • And here's why Steve Current Bob Myers air going out of their way to try and soften the expectations They want James Wiseman to progress of his own pace in the last few days.

  • Stefan Draymond.

  • Come on, the zoom calls and they go.

  • This dude is for real.

  • He is a monster.

  • They don't talk like that about guys they don't think can be great.

  • They believe Wiseman can be great right away.

  • And the Warriors were expecting really big things from him this season.

  • Yeah, I really love this pick for them.

  • I didn't think it was O g.

  • I guess we have to.

  • We can't trade the pick.

  • I guess we'll pick him.

  • I was talking on draft night.

  • I think this is a good move for them.

  • And who knows?

  • In a couple of years, you guys could all be playing this tape.

  • I could end up being totally wrong, but I like it.

  • I am hopeful for what he could do there with Golden State.

  • I think it's a great example.

  • Two of the organization really making a difference in what this kid's development can be all right, so we could put up the schedule.

  • We wanna tell Warriors fans what they need to binge watch this season.

  • We got the first half so far, and we are all pumped for their Christmas Day showdown with the Bucks on ABC, Steph Curry said.

  • I guess I have to find some things to do on Christmas in Milwaukee.

  • Yes, you do, Steph.

  • Nick, what are your expectations for their opening night matchup with K D, though, and the Nets?

  • There is gonna be a lot of emotion.

  • It's gonna be tough for both sides because of what transpired at the end.

  • But, Rachel, I'd say this in covering that team and being around Stefan Dream on the last year and a half, always, always, there was a ton of respect for K D and it didn't end the way anybody wanted it to.

  • But there is genuine love between all those guys in clay because they know what they accomplished.

  • So it is kind of weird.

  • After seeing the break up, you're looking on the other side.

  • You fit better there.

  • But in the end, I think all these guys have an appreciation of what they accomplished, and you'll see that in how they speak to each other after that game.

  • I agree with you, Nick, but I expect a competitive game.

  • I expect Kevin Durant and Draymond Green to be talking noise, and I expect Steph Curry to go off.

  • I expect Kevin Durant.

  • I have a great game.

  • I expect a lot of chitter chatter, all that soft stuff that's over with.

  • Now Nick is gonna go out and compete against each other is not no more.

  • They're friendly and stuff some more to respect their, but they've got they.

  • I feel like Katie has something to prove to the Warriors.

  • Steph has something to prove to Katie Draymond Green has something to prove to Katie A.

  • I'm waiting on this game.

  • I agree is gonna be competitive way Know how these guys are on the court, so of course it's gonna be a tough competitive game.

  • But I do think it is important to remember how things ended with Kevin and the Warriors is so different from how they ended with the Oklahoma City thunder.

  • Steph Curry was on an international trip, stopped in New York to spend time with Kevin on the day that Kevin announced he was joining another team.

  • That is how that transition happened.

  • You are not going to get the same thing on this opening night that we did when, say, Russell Westbrook walked into the arena right member in Oakland with the little thing on the photo, the photo vest, the whole nine.

  • So we're not going to get that with this game.

  • But I do agree.

  • Perk.

  • We will see plenty of action on the court.

  • Alright, finally.

  • Spoiler alert time.

  • Caesar's William Hill, given the Warriors the fifth best odds of winning the West.

  • So perk that's more in your line.

  • Well, what are your predictions for their regular season?

  • Forget the playoffs.

  • What do you think the regular season is gonna be like?

  • Especially in that deep, deep Western conference?

  • Much Well, I think it's going.

  • I think it's gonna be great for the Warriors.

  • I think they're gonna finish top five.

  • Like I said, um, they're gonna be right in the thick of things.

  • And what's gonna happen is they're going to get past the first round.

  • And I think this Warriors team could possibly make enough noise where they could make it to the conference finals.

  • Don't save the video.

  • I sit.

  • Well, put it next to my James Wiseman video perk.

  • Oh, perk our conference finals.

  • That that would be that would stun me way.

  • Sit here Today, as greatest Stephan Draymond are.

  • If this team's going to the conference finals, you and I are going right toe Las Vegas and we're gonna make a lot more bets because I don't know if they have the talent built up around Steph and Draymond is motivated.

  • Is there gonna be to get back to that level this season?

  • Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

right, Just like the saddest soap opera I've ever seen.
