What does Albert Breer say about Matthew Stafford's future?
night I think he was just letting it happen and then I would almost say the same about Steph he was you know he was involved in the process of Dunleavy was keeping him up to date but I think Steph purposely just because of the teammate he wants to be doesn't want to be the one you know pulling the ultimate trigger and pulling the levers he doesn't want to be seen by that it's almost like you know if you're innocent to to what went down then then nobody can blame you for you know pulling the trigger
Okay. Let's talk basketball. The on-off stuff for Curry, I think is the really important number here. What has it meant for this team and the turnaround with these Butler non-Curry minutes? And then ultimately like, it's just, I don't want to get carried away after a couple of weeks, but it, I like this team. I watch them a lot.
They get off to that great start, and it's like, man, they've got two lines of basketball players, and they're playing such hard defense. You're like, really? Is everybody going to just keep making this many shots? And then it just falls off a cliff. They've got some injury stuff as well. And then I felt like Curry was taking...
I've already said this too many times, but I haven't talked to you yet. I'm like, you guys are going to bitch about Curry's shooting numbers. Like, look at what he is doing, how he cycles through these possessions. And then it's like, hey, please take the shot again and again and again.
Like, I just didn't feel like... I think there's numbers that are inefficient for certain players that don't perfectly reflect their approach to the game. And, you know, Steph would be one of those guys. And now...
it feels i can't believe how good it's already been so go any way you want to because i i went in a million different directions on that yeah look he as far as steph struggles like he often has like a month dip at least and it was like at that normal time of the year right he kind of like you know uh you know spent a lot of his energy early in the season got to 12 and 3 he was like adamant coming into the preseason like hot start hot start right need the the vibes good and i think maybe he
you know, off a little bit and, and then they, they hit the dip and sometimes it's hard to regenerate that. Some, you know, late game, you know, I guess misfortune or, or just, you know, some of the droughts they had, the knee tendonitis that he was dealing with was a thing, you know, Draymond Green suddenly going through a calf thing. They're older in their career.
The, the, the marathon wears on them more, which, which is something they learned as far as, you know, what's changed. Look, Jimmy Butler, I think they're like first in the league and made free throws. And it's a six game sample, but like they've, find the last six game sample. They were anywhere near the top, like five in the league.
And Frito said there were bottom four in attempts, you know, from the line since he got here. So clearly he's doing that better. He's a low turnover guy, which like it's Steve Kerr's got like the heart eye emojis about like the way, like Jimmy Butler had a quote the other day about how he just wants shots on goal. And like Steve Kerr was talking about how great a quote that was.
