Episode notes
Warriors' struggles
- Steph Curry calls the Warriors "very mid" or average due to inconsistent offense and lack of contribution beyond himself.
- The team's young players haven't developed as expected, and Dennis Schroder isn't a strong second option.
Warriors' Future
- The Warriors' ownership seems content with playing out the string with Steph and Draymond.
- They're unlikely to make a major move due to new CBA tax ramifications and overconfidence in their draft picks.
Draymond's criticism of Hield
- Draymond Green criticizes Buddy Hield's lack of meaningful basketball experience.
- Green's often right but delivers his message poorly, as with Hield and Jordan Poole.
