Hello,

Hello, and welcome back to another edition,

second half edition of the Warriors All-82 podcast and blowout loss with very little

you know competitive juice to it clippers dominated the warriors but certainly not uh you know a

a game without storylines and tim kowakami is on to discuss um you know the James Wiseman benching game basically and

you know I thought we're going to talk about the Brad Wanamaker Benching game I thought that's

we can get to that and Damien Lee basically he actually did have a sighting in the second half

but um you know this game will be defined by the decision to bench James Wiseman,

and that goes back six days, essentially.

You know, Friday of the All-Star break, he gets back home.

He's mentally, obviously, pretty exhausted from the end of that first half

and forgets to go to his coronavirus test on Friday,

forgets on Saturday, is reminded, goes Sunday, goes Monday, they get to L.A.

And the team is alerted, hey, he missed those. That means he can't practice on Wednesday.

And I think one thing that's been forgotten here a little bit is like, this was an important

practice for the Warriors. They were completely changing their rotation up.

He was going to be in a second unit and will be in a second unit with Mannion and a pool

who he's about to get to know how to play with but hasn't really played much with.

So they were going to do some of that in practice.

I think he might have started if he was just at practice too as well.

And the fact that he missed that,

I can completely understand why he's then not in the starting lineup.
