He had the little nod. And so it's cool because of the history that Harrison Barnes has with the Warriors. It kind of gets revenge in a tough situation for them. This, like you said, is a must win for Golden State. They now move to seventh in the Western Conference. Things are always fluid, but it just puts them on uneven ground a little bit when it comes to that play-in.
And we've talked about how important it is for them to not be in the play-in tournament. They can't do it. Miss a week, get a week off, give Steph Curry's knees some rest. And now this puts that in danger.
Do you remember when the Spurs beat the Nuggets last year and it kind of ruined the Nuggets' chances of winning the West? And now the Warriors lose to the Spurs and might ruin their chances of getting a top six spot.
Yeah. He's just he's the player coach at this point. He's going to do the whole thing where. Yeah. I mean, look, I could see it. It's not a bad idea. And Adelman is more of just a consultant at this point for what they want to do. Look, I think one of the more interesting things that I saw from the Nuggets was and look, no Jamal Murray here. So this is a caveat to all this thing. But.
More Jalen Pickett than Russell Westbrook. A lot of Jalen Pickett. And I actually kind of like Jalen Pickett's game. Good defender, can knock down a shot, especially tonight. He did a good job. But Russell Westbrook ended up playing 16 minutes in this game. And he played 25 in their last game, 19 in the one before that. Seems like his minutes are going down.
I don't know if that's necessarily a coaching decision or just he was having a bad game tonight and they decided to go a different direction. But I do like what Jalen Pickett provides for this team. And maybe that's the directive from the front office. Play these young guys more to give them opportunity to get some money.
Yeah, it's kind of like a scientific formula. You're trying to find the perfect balance to be able to get the right amount of Russ in any single game. He'll be able to give you 25 on a random night, but how are you going to punch in for the 15 minutes that you're on the floor? That's the next phase for Russ and this Nuggets team, for sure.
Hey, by the way, OKC locked up home court advantage throughout the playoffs with a win over the Suns today, which is massive.
Yeah, a mixture of love and hate. I would say that the love outweighed the hate. It was a lot of love for Luka Doncic as soon as he stepped on the court. I thought it was a cool little moment. The Lakers took the floor for warm-ups, and he comes in and he just banks the shot off the shot clock, like shoots it. 10 feet above the basket, and it just drops in.
It was like a little moment of Luka magic. I mean, he was just on the entire night, 31 in the first half. I mean, anytime he touched the ball, the crowd loved it. And then, yeah, the hate, I mean, really just directed towards one person, you know, Nico Harrison, who made this trade. I would say overall, fun night. I mean, I would say overall... like more positive than negative.
I think the fans love this.
Well, I was surprised that they did a tribute video in the first place. I'm not necessarily surprised that they did it because I knew it was expected, but it was a sort of damned if you do, damned if you don't type of situation from the Mavericks after the last couple of months of, you know, kind of conversation around why they traded him. What was the reasoning? Was it out of shape?
All that type of stuff that kind of went around. And you see the emotion there. on Luka during that tribute video. And to me, I was like, oh man, what response are we going to get from Luka Doncic with the amount of emotion that he's showing 25 seconds before we do tip off? So I was surprised that he jumped out to such an incredible start. Christian, from your perspective,
Do you feel like this was made to be a moment for Luka? You know, the thank you shirts, everything that you saw. Like, was this the Mavericks organization trying their best to maybe mend ties with Luka Doncic?
Yeah, there's no question about it. I think the organization realized that their messaging was really bad right after the Luka Doncic trade. It's like, however you actually feel about him, the reasons for this trade, he still led you to the finals and won a ton and had this genuine connection with the fan base.
I mean, they, I think, correctly decided, we need to change our messaging and we need to show appreciation for this guy, which he absolutely deserves. And he was super emotional before the game. I mean, that was a beautiful moment with...
him tears well in his eyes when he was watching that tribute video and then he was able to to stay really even keel during the game i mean the night before in oklahoma city you know got in a yelling match with the fan got ejected you know emotions his emotions sometimes run too hot but i thought he did a really good job of just you know staying even killed i mean there was definitely some talking like he was saying some stuff to the bench in the second half but he stayed pretty even and i mean he was just unbelievable the step back three is working
That's exactly right. I mean, look, the Mavericks shortened their title contention window when they traded Luka. And they're like, look, we got two, three, maybe four chances at that. I mean, when Kyrie went down, that automatically erased their chance this year. That maybe erases their chances next year, depending on how you look at that.
I mean, that's two of the three or four chances that they had right there. I mean, that's... Huge gut punch. I mean, they just you're right. They don't have enough to compete right now. I mean, they they tried starting like Najee Marshall, basically a lead guard, and he played really well. Yeah, but that's that's the place they're at. You know, it's like we don't have Kyrie.
We're already really dependent on him. Like they've just got to they've just got to try stuff like that.
