It's devastating.

This season's over.

Uh, let's just call it what it is.

This season's over.

Um, keep in mind that before Steph Curry got hurt, they were down 29 points in the first water.

How does that?

That's how horrific the defense has been.

Now I want to preface my comments by saying this.

I hoped Steph Curry has a full recovery.

I loved his brother's a person and as a superstar in the n.

B.

A.

He represents everybody incredibly, incredibly well, him in his wonderful family and the whole bit.

And I don't want anybody to take this wrong because I'm wishing him a speedy recovery.

I'm actually happy he's hurt.

Don't bother me at all.

What did I tell you?

What have I been telling you since before the season begins?

I said, Will he make it my number one concern?

As I set up here, you did.

I kept saying said he's gonna be Oh, they go.

Not that thing happened yesterday.

Obviously, in that place it was, you know, we got sliding under trying to draw offensive fat from the weak side.

They got to do something about that, you know, I mean, I get it.

But what I'm trying to say to you is, I don't want Step Curry still has an awful lot left in him.

I don't know if we will have been able to say that had he played this entire season, well, what other teams were going to subject him to without the service's off Kevin Durant and play tops my number one concern Waas what he's goingto physically be exposed to because the brother is an elite player and the greatest marksman, the greatest sniper this game has ever seen.

And without Clay Thompson, I don't like Steph Curry out there by himself, not against these dudes.

So my attitude was when he went down yesterday.

I'm not.

It'll be fun, all right, Broken.

He gonna feel like you're not the right rate in the left hand.

I hope they exaggerated.

Even if he's ready to come back in two months, I hope they say six.

I hope that I don't see Steph Curry again this year because that means when he does come back, Clay Thompson will also be back.

And, oh, by the way, they will have taking D'Angelo, Russell or whatever else they have in their staple and manipulate that into getting an even greater asset to pair with clay and stuff.

That's what I want to see.

I don't want to see Steph exposed out there with with a bunch of novices because they got, like, nine new faces.

Nine working nine dudes under 23 years of age.

I don't want that for Steph Curry, so I'm glad he's ours, and I don't want to see him again this year.

That's where I was going.

First props where it's do you said that he's not gonna make it through the year if you because of the offensive, little after Carrie and the way they'll be going at him now.

That was a freak thing that happened, however.

It was a parent so far that guys were.

It's not just that they were falling.

They were falling and swiping Adam.

People were doing exactly what you said they do, and ultimately he is hurt with a hand injury.

Even if was a freak kind of thing.

So you get your props.

I agree this is actually a good thing for the Golden State Warriors and you touched on it your last point that you made D'Angelo Russell.

You know why he had the value he did last year due to injury.

He got to start and he was a high usage player.

He's not an extremely efficient player.

D'Angelo Russell, though not that inefficient.

He's a good player who looks a little better than he is when you give him a lot to do.

That's what's gonna happen right now in the Golden State Warriors.

D'Angelo Russell is gonna have a lot to do.

His stock will consequently go up and they will be able to flip him because I've been saying the entire time on Golden State says he's in their long term plans.

That's clearly nonsense.

I don't think D'Angelo Russell they're fit for them on the court.

I don't think he's a fit for them in the locker room.

I think they're gonna flip him.

And even if you sit here and go, yeah, but Max, if you know and people on TV know that he's good, he's gonna look overvalued.

D'Angelo Russell.

If you claim a lot than other G m's, know that too.

Yeah, but it's human nature when you see a guy actually go out and do it average over 20 points.

Bunch of assists make highlight reel passes and stuff.

You wind up emotionally overvaluing that guy.

That's what's gonna happen in D'Angelo Russell.

Furthermore, it did not look like the Warriors were gonna win a lot of games this year.

Even with Steph Curry their draft, they'll they'll They'll be better off understanding what the real mission is for the rest of this year building up the assets so that when Steph and Clay comes back, they come back to something.

Well, let me tell you this.

We all should pray that they don't come back to this because once again, the Warriors looked absolutely atrocious last night.

And this simply no excuse for looking this way.

Defensive.

I'm gonna repeat.

They were down 29 points in the first quarter.

How does that happen?

You have most teams in the N B A have a difficult time scoring 29 points in the first quarter.

They were trailing by 29 points in the first quarter.

There's something severely wrong with this franchise defensively right now, but look, I don't know what you mean about about effort, but a lot of it is, especially as defense's and offenses are the way they are.

Defense's have to be more sophisticated now.

It's not just effort, to the extent that used to be, think about this.

If you had a defense of problem on the perimeter, let's say and you imported any one of the following players.

Last year's version, you might say that kind of fixes the defense.

Livingston, Iguodala, Clay K D.

Any one of those guys might fix the defense.

They lost all four.

Anyone could fix it.

They lost all four like that.

Poof.

Gone.

Of course, their defense is going to be hurting.

I get it.

Not like this.

Put off court.

Not like I think that's all I'm saying.

Not like I asked a question.

How much of a positive or an advantage will this be for them next year, though, that Clay, Steph full year off essentially, and they could add another need.

I think we had Listen, this is what I mean we have to take.

It's a consideration.

These guys are five time Western Conference champion long guys, executive years over, Ah, 100 games each of the last five years.

There's a lot that their bodies have toiled.

So when you look at it from that perspective, look, man, they need a break.

They need a break.

It would bother.

Listen, this sounds bad, but wouldn't even bother me if Draymond ended up getting hurt.

He'd been playing to my own need a break.

Keep they all need a break.
