The Warriors, you know, the Steve Kerr, you know, Hamza worldview, you know, it's, it's,
it's like a, it's like a Silicon Valley, uh, startup that gets like a billion dollar valuation,
but actually makes no sales profits.
You know, Uber got an IPO for like $10 billion, but they've never actually shown a profit
ever.
You know, it's, it's, it's like fake, it's, it's, that's what we mean by the bubble ----.
Like this team, this team is so much in a, in a pile of steaming ---- than any, anybody
in the Bay area realizes all these guys that hit threes during ******* garbage, they're
playing garbage time basketball.
Anytime they play a contending team, the contending team is not prepared.
They don't give a ----.
They're literally resting for the next game.
That's actually serious.
Then they play tanking teams that are beating them.
They're literally losing to tanking teams.
You know, like that's, that's incredible.
Well, you know what's funny too, Armando, you, you said something which, which was very
astute.
And you do that a lot prompts, uh, a few weeks back when he said the warriors, uh, were actually
going to be competing against some of the good teams in the NBA because most good teams
are looking at the warriors as, as mediocrity, like without Steph, they don't know how to
plan for them.
Uh, they're not rising up to the occasion for them.
These are trap games.
Just like you said.
And then when the warriors play these lesser teams like Utah, like the bulls, those teams,
they don't treat any game like a trap game.
So they're going to show up no matter what.
And so you're seeing these, these, these, these games be competitive for that reason.
Like the, the games against the good teams are competitive because again, they're not
rising up.
They're not, they're, they're lowering themselves almost aggression wise to the same level as
the warriors.
And then these bad teams, they're bringing out their best and the best of these bad teams
is sadly, pathetically is still better than the war as it's such a great point.
So I, I want to bring up two things about that in response, one, like, you know, for
the Homs is in the chat or whatever, I don't know who's in the chat, but you know, that
thing, that's a proper bullshit like the barber, you know, to be honest, Steve Kerr has literally
said that numerous times, you know what I'm talking about?
Steve Kerr has literally said, we always win a, when a team has its stars out, we struggle.
It's harder for us to play them when a team has a stars out.
He has said that numerous times over the years.
And so that means it's also true when the warriors do it.
And so side, what you just said is so on point that the teams that are actually trying hard
are these freaking like loser teams that are trying to tank.
And the other thing I want to highlight besides what Steve Kerr corroborates on that point
is what Tari Eason of the Houston Rockets said last week.
I don't know if you guys saw this quote, well, you texted me that and I forgot to bring it
up with Rick.
I completely forgot.
Take it away.
Sorry, man.
And I love that quote.
That was the greatest quote of the week, man.
Tari Eason, bench player, Houston Rockets, quote unquote said, the warriors are easier
to beat when they have Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler.
Yeah.
Cause it's easier to predict this, it's predictable when you have them to, you know who, you
know that that's who they're going to.
When you don't have those two, they don't know what Steve don't even know.
You know, it's just as confusing.
He's right.
Oh yeah.
Here's the quote unquote.
Go ahead.
No, no, no.
I was going to say what you were going to say.
Go ahead.
You take it away, man.
If you got it.
Yeah.
He said, quote unquote, anybody who knows ball knows what I'm talking about.
I was like, damn, it sounds like me.
I ******* love that quote, man.
That was so good.
And you know, Tari Eason, I remember, you know, it's not just predictability.
It's that Steph Curry and Jimmy Buller ain't that good.
You know, we were, we were a full, healthy Jimmy Butler, Steph Curry, Draymond Green,
full health, Podjemski lineup.
And we're the ******* A-seed.
Are you kidding me?
You know, like nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine.
And this is by the way, the exact quote you were talking about.
This was Tari Eason.
This was about a week and change ago when the Warriors upset the Rockets.
And Eason, after the game, was on some local radio station down there in Texas and said,
quote, they play tough.
To be honest, they play better without Curry and Butler.
If those two guys are playing, we easily win by 20, period.
We own those guys and the tape shows it.
If you know basketball, unquote.
Yeah.
And I think he's right, too.
I agree with him.
Yeah.
