Yeah, I was just it took me a while to process what happened. And, you know, it's like you're still looking at the game like, you know, I used to I used to fuck this dude up and he's still in there. So it just it just takes a little while to to process, OK, it's over with, you know, just watch the game as a fan.
And not as a competitor. And I love watching that series that Houston Golden State series like because those guys are big as fuck, strong. Houston got a lot of tough guys. I love watching Amen Thompson, but what Draymond is doing single-handedly saying, okay, all you motherfuckers over here, all you tough guys over here, I want all the smoke. And now he got Jimmy as well.
What Jimmy's doing, when he fell on his back, I was like, how the fuck is this guy going to come back? And what he's doing over there, you got to give big credit to Jimmy because I think this is probably his best shot at winning a championship.
All right, so... Golden State, game on the line. The world knows who's getting the ball with the game on the line. Houston, game on the line. Who's getting the ball?
Okay.
Okay, so Jalen wasn't shooting. Up and down all year.
Fred, okay. So you're the coach, you're giving the ball to Fred.
You said three different guys. You can't do that. You can only give it to one. That's the problem. The real answer would probably be Fred.
you're in trouble you're in big trouble and you got to know and it's look game on the line last possession it's not like the regular season where six guys are listening in that timeout the whole bench everybody who's in that organization is listening to who the coach is giving the ball to you know what i mean right Look, they gave it to Shang-Goon. Draymond got a big stop.
That's what it's all about.
You know?
Well, Draymond got four championships, so he's a starting championship center or whatever position he plays. But people always make fun about his stats, but this is so much more than stats. You got Steven Adams and Shang-Goon. They're two 300-pound guys. This guy's 6'6", 250. Fucking bring it. Okay, so find me five of those who are ready to go into that battle, you know?
So honestly, you can't... What Draymond brings to the team is so much more than just what you see on a stat line. It's so much more than just the surface, you know? He's the one who's bringing the energy and making sure that everybody's ready to go. Steph can be Steph. Nobody's fucking Steph up because Draymond is going to be right there fucking... putting you in a chokehold if you even try.
So yeah, so sometimes he goes over the line, but you know what, as a team, that gives you confidence knowing that you have a guy who's willing to do anything and Golden State has his back and they've showed it over and over. Every time he stepped over the line, they got his back. It says a lot about the organization.
We got our guy over there, the GM, Don Levy, another crazy Irish guy that I got to be in some battles with. And he was just like, yo, there's no question. Like we got to get, when everybody was questioning Jimmy's character and stuff, I mean, it just fit like a glove as soon as he got there.
And I think it's just like, it's a great fit for him just to be in a situation right now where you gotta respect what Steph's done. You gotta respect who Draymond is. And now he can come in and just be himself where it's not just him being the alpha. It's about me. No, no, no, no, no. This is about winning a championship. This is about his teammates.
And you can tell just the way he talks about his guy. He's been there for, what, three months? And you feel like he's been there for five years.
Mm-hmm.
I think it depends on the coach. It depends on the coach. But, you know, vets have played in big games and you can trust them more. You know, you're seeing it in the Houston Golden State Series. You know, if Steph needs a day off from practice, you give him a day off from practice and that's just. Yeah. And everybody shut the fuck up. Yeah. You don't take away his cookies over playing. Yeah.
That's right.
