Golden State

He's had the experience doing so.

I mean, you would tend to think that in those Golden State runs it was often Steph Curry, for good reason, but it's not like Klay was without his opportunity from time to time.

So I think he'll be the one who's gonna have the ball in his hands as they look for a three-point shot, because you're gonna have Giannis be able to draw the defense in.

You're gonna have Bam out in the corners probably looking to knock down that shot from the perimeter.

A lot of times defenses will double team scores because they're not as good at handling it as they were at handling him before.

as they weren't handling single coverages, right? That's kind of the bottom line of what the defense tells you, right? There's a reason why the Warriors allowed LeBron James to work in single coverage and two-on-twos and one-on-ones as much as they did because they were terrified of him as a passer.

That's the thing they didn't want to unlock in his game.

And similarly, that's the way teams look at Ant.

There are a handful of guys like that that I would keep an eye on as we head into next season.

All right, two more.

2019 Raptors, 2020 Lakers, 2021 Bucks, 2022 Warriors, 2023 Nuggets, 2024 Celtics, 2025 Thunder, and the 2026 Knicks.

Where do you think the Knicks championship ranks among these teams? So much of that comes down to what you're talking about, right? Like if I'm talking about which teams were the most dominant...

Then you go back to, like, the Nets, high on-ball percentage there.

But then you have to go back to, like, the Warriors and the Thunder, where he had legitimate other, like, like, star power, other guards that he could rely on to kinda set the table offensively, be it Steph Curry, Draymond Green, I know he's not a guard, but he was help setting the, setting the table in Golden State.

Obviously, Russell Westbrook in OKC.

Other guys that could take some of that offensive pressure off of him and allow him to just be that deadly play finisher, and it never really felt like we got that version of Kevin Durant consistently last season because so often he had to be the play initiator.

You know you'll love KNBR if you love sports.

We've got all the exciting play-by-play action of Oakland A's baseball and San Francisco Warriors basketball.

Daily sports reports from Frank Dale and Hank Greenwald.

Fishing reports from Bill Ellery.

First of all, if everyone's doing it, no one's going to get over.

I love what Stephen Curry from the Golden State Warriors once said.

Yeah.

You can look at Michael.

Woodland at Bluffton.

Bluffton has scored at least 40 points at every game so far while allowing a touchdown per game, while the Warriors benefited from a favorable non-conference schedule.

Winner, Bluffton.

Blackhawk Christian versus Phelan Academy.

There's things that's maudlin because it's September 11.

There's things that are excited with the Warriors and the City Rail Loop.

So it's all kind of going on in my head and it's kind of I've arrived in a kind of a strange and confused spot tonight.

So bear

So it doesn't feel like a Friday.

We're sad about Dan, but excited for Dan.

And we're excited for the Warriors.

And it's also 9-11, which tragic.

Yep.

Warriors were better.

Kings were better.

I'm locking in.

Yeah.

Warriors suck.

Kings suck.

Cool.
