Tommy, you know, my expectations today were, I wouldn't say they were the highest.

You know, they, you know, no Porzingis in the morning.

Obviously, no Steph, no Draymond, Denver Nuggets. Yes, I know they've been kind of complacent for a while. But, you know, in general, things, you know, on paper did not look good. But what a game. What a fun way to spend a mid-Sunday. You know, like like it's i've been over the last month trying to process

how i want to enjoy the warriors going through it the rest of the way and i think today is the

exact example uh gigantic play by the young guys big leaps really by moses moody pods at the end there. They played hard the entire

game. Like we're not going to pretend they have more talent than Denver, you know, like or any of

that stuff. But like, they put forth an effort that any Warriors fan can be proud of tonight.

And then we're seeing kind of what we want to see, which is, look, it's not what we're

hoping for, competing for a title, but we are seeing growth from players who can be part of

next year and going forward. First of all, as we've hit on multiple times recently, Steve has

these guys playing inspired basketball. Obviously, you know, Thursday was ugly. Celtics just came in and just ran them out of the gym. It's going to happen sometimes when you have the lesser talent, you know, no step, obviously no Jimmy, no KP, like, we know who's out. But Steve has these guys playing inspired basketball. And again, for the millionth time, Eddie Steve Kerrater is a fucking idiot. He's one of the best coaches in the league. He's one of the best culture setters in the league. But the biggest thing that I am taking away from this. Podators, where are you at? Are you guys in the comments today? Are we going to do this again? Am I going to go on Twitter and have to see how bad of a player he is? The guy who's been the best plus minus since joining the Warriors better than Steph, better than Draymond. I understand he has flaws. I understand he can be frustrating. I understand he talks too much. I wish the shot making was better. But he's a good basketball player. And I've been, I know me and you both because we are two of the biggest riders on the pods bandwagon. We've been like, I've been waiting for this moment the moment we're like he essentially like

makes a fuck you a fuck you performance eight what 18 14 and nine today like and i know he's been

waiting for that breakthrough but the the issue is he's over tasked right now because of the roster

it is not pod's fault that they have built a roster and they have injuries that ask him

to do too much, right? That's not his fault. And I'm not saying like some of the projections for him

a couple years ago were probably too lofty, but we talked about this a little offline right before

we started. I really think the comparison for him is Kyle Lowry. Kyle Lowry was a guy who struggled

early his career, bounced around a lot, couldn't really figure out the jump shot, but affected

the game positively in so many ways that he was pretty much always a positive contributor.
