Like JJ Redick, Tim Legler fills the NBA expert analyst void that First Take needs except heโs actually good and not miserable and smug
This is such a perfect comment honestly.
JJ Tim Legler and SAS are the only ones I can trust without some kind of agenda being pushed.
JJ is incredibly smug.
This boils down to legler being a Jordan Stan and JJ being a bron stan, but Iโm sorry to burst ur bubble JJ was a better player n he knows more ball for the simple fact that Tim is an old head holding on to old concepts, the same with mad dog, their outdated opinions are fun and insightful opposite to a guy like Perk whoโs fun n dumb lol itโs just an attempt at good television.
@@FledgedPhoenixSAD not having an agenda an having trust worthy opinions might be the biggest lie told all 2024 ๐๐๐๐

That org wasted so much money by extending Draymond and Klay. Picking up CP3's contract was also another terrible idea. Its time to blow it up and get Curry some actual help

Literally they said the same stuff in 2022 and Curry won a Title and Finals MVP.
"I won't call it the Big 3 anymore" Molly been listening to that Kendrick verse ๐
Itโs so hard to predict cuz you give him good reliable pieces and an actual number 2 that is 2 way and you know he can get another one...But getting the good pieces is the tricky situation right now
It would be crazy if the Golden State Warriors became the Road Warriors if they sneak into the playoffs
At the of the day, it was a Great ride.
Momentum... This is what the Warriors need right now...and shooting..
Players not being ejected would help too.
If Legs is saying that it's wraps๐

lol why because he is white lol ? You non blacks are weird I swear lol l
Warriors need to reTool not reBuild while Steph still got it
I vividly remember them saying the same thing in 2021, I wonder how this will age.
It'll age fine. Its over.
Bruh we are in 10th with our players healthy. Last summer marked the end of this team.
@Kevin-ct1id With draymond we were on a 50 win pace this year, draymond not knowing how to act is the main reason the warriors are in the play in
This team is awful bro we need a new team
Look man. The play in is the only reason they have a chance to even make the playoffs. No 10th seed is winning a championship stop it
I donโt think itโs talked about enough how bad the warriors are at building a team around Steph . They are living off the past but canโt see that klay and draymon are not the same players they once were . Wasting a high draft pick in a guard heavy draft for wiseman was a huge mistake . The warriors just rely on Steph for everything
Really? Pretty sure Steph had the best roster in the league around for 5 straight years between 2015-2019 and arguably 2022 with the way Wiggins was playing.
People thought that warriors was good at developing players when in reality it was Steph's gravity that allowed players to thrive. Now that his gravity doesn't work, players like Klay and dray are showing their true colors
@@Reaper13-hi3yo thatโs why I said they are living off the past they ainโt been good as a team since kd left . 2022 wasnโt even a great team they just exceeded expectations making it to the finals
@@Maxjuliann Was more of a general statement- not directed at you. I agree with you almost entirely what you just said. Only thing I would say, I think the 2022 team with Wiggins and Poole playing at high levels were good, just not KD years level good. Meant no disrespect.
@@Maxjuliannyou dont know basketball. What has kd done before or since curry? What dud curry win? 2 rings.
0:29 Never count out Curry, most dangerous 10 seed of all time!
still not counting these dudes out itโs impossible!!
We're much closer to seeing Steph play for a team other than the Warriors than people want to acknowledge
steph will never leave unfortunately
Learn ball
This first take crew is elite
GS will always be dangerous, but their championship aspirations died when they refused to trade Klay and welcomed Dray back with open arms.
ESPN been surviving on the same analysis every yearโฆ talking about Curry and bron for the clicks ๐ญ
Only thing holding them back is a lack of bigs. The finals contenders all have 6โ10 and up stars we have to compete. But nobody saw them winning in 2022!!
I can see Paul and Wiggins leaving
I wonder why the media only attacks Steph like this when there are 10+ other superstars not sniffing a ring for the rest of their career.
Attacks? The media is glazing Steph 9 times out of 10.
his salary
Because the last 2 years was dedicated to the narrative that he's a top 10 player
โ@@DannyDoGood he is a top 10 player in this league in 2023-2024
@@strawhats100 Not top 10 all time. He's not better than Kareem, Bron, MJ, Duncan, Kobe, Shaq, Magic, Bird, Hakeem, or KD. That's just a narrative push that isn't real.
I feel behind close doors I truly believe Draymond Green has a tab bit of a jealousy streak any time someone new comes onto the team thatโs getting more attention than him. Then he starts acting out and giving the bully syndrome or having his childish tantrums.
Mad dog is right, GSW are not winning another Chip for a few years.
You said this not even 2 years ago when the warriors won AGAIN.
โ@@IamNotTreynot 2 years ago they not winning it again with this group!๐
If we trade we need experienced players.
I mean Draymond suspension, CP and GP injuries hurt them. Wiggins not playing well doesn't help. 12 games of blowing double digit leads. Steve Kerr bottling multiple games. Honestly this team should easily have 44 wins. Let's not forget this team started the season hot.
Rebuild is the only thing they can do if they want to be contenders again. Either JK, Podz, TJD and Moody grind make a big leap or make a trade to get another star player.
Literally everyday, there's coverage on two teams that are below 8th place
PG Curry
SG LaVine
SF Kuminga
PF Draymond
C Looney
@robsmith That starting five isn't winning anything. Might not even make the play-in tenth spot...Sorry, bro.
@@garyspence2128 why not? With Klay off the bench and the younger guys
that team is another 9th / 10th seed, at best - nice try though
If only Wiseman played with even 1/4 of the effort, selflessness and intelligence and intensity of TJD Warriors would be contenders
GSW needs inside scoring with that GSW can win title
The League needs the Warriors and Lakers to be relevant, just for their ratings. The 10 seed Warriors are talked about more than the Timberwolves and Nuggets. As a Warriors fan I hope we miss the playoffs completely. What is the point? We aren't winning a ring, let our guys get some rest, especially since Steph is playing in the Olympics.
Klay, Dray & Wiggins gotta go, ship em an get as much as possible๐ฏ
Said that last time ๐๐๐๐๐
Getting under the 2nd apron and being in the playoff picture is possibly achievable. Getting under the tax and staying competitive is a pipe dream.
Sooo moving Wiggins and Looneys contract canโt help them? Itโs crazy to me. I think they sign chris Paul back at a discount snd they move GP2, Looney and a Wiggins. That saves money and moves pieces that arenโt working. You can package Moses Moody with Wiggins to move off that deal and already you have enough to keep the valuable players and get new ones
I would love to see Klay lead a young team like the Spurs who will do some reconstructing this off season. He will automatically be the leader in a distinguished franchise that is on a rebuild with an emerging promising player. I think he owes it to himself to separate from Steph and see where it takes him. Personally, turning a losing franchise as team leader would be more satisfying than winning another ring as a (diminished) supporting cast.
The Wiseman pick was the death of this dynasty. The fact that they won in 2022 was a miracle.
It was curry, you meant to say.
Miracle? Really? Overhaul your brain ๐
Didnโt we hear this crap before the 2021-2022 season?
Never underestimate a team that has Steph Curry on it.
it 2024 not 2022๐๐๐๐
Steph has one a ring more recent than bron but nobody ever says the 40 year old window has closed
Bcuz lebron cooked him in the playoffs last year made it to the WCFโฆ
@@nikhiltrivedi8126 *D-lo and Ad cooked them
@nikhiltrivedi8126 You mean the refs and free throws cooked him. Warriors foul but the lakers were not fouling that less where one game dubs shot 8 free throws
@@Destroyer-kr6ho Lebron definitely cooked them in that game 6 to close the series out but itโs probably over for both of them if they stay on the teams they are on rn. Other teams are just better now.
@@AlexHill-rr8yz youโre a clown who doesnโt understand play styles. The warriors are small and chuck 3s, the lakers are big and attack the rim. They donโt settle for as many jump shots. Who on the warriors is stopping Bron and AD in the paint ? No oneโฆwhich is why they hacked them
Nobody was talking back in 2022 when warriors won the championship because no one picked them. I believe Curry will get his 5th ring next year
Same thing I think, next year he will get #5
no chance, it's a wrap for this dynasty @@ayevisualz8726
Next year is possible but Steph needs some real help
They would have to clean house and get him another star to have a chance but Denver is in its prime and other teams are getting better. 2022 the West wasnโt as good
@@datsapaddlinyoure making excuses. The west was good, considering NO ONE THOUGHT THE WARRIORS WOULD WIN.
If they were on a 10 win streak the story would be the complete opposite lol
Go out and get some centers. The Bulls will be selling. I like the core but get some bigs that can play. Claxton from the Nets will be a FA and maybe add Derozan if you can money wise. Valanciunas is also a FA. There are a lot of great role players in FA.
I know Demar is a forward but hey if you can get him, do it. For the right price of course.
Literally Steph curry said our record shows us what we are. So if they going to keep the core as warriors fan, I wonโt be surprised if we are in the same seed ,same situation next season with no big men and bunch of guards. Weโll be an older team.
no matter what anybody on television says, no matter how bad it looks, it's not over till it's over. and right now there is still a chance that's what Steph is saying
๐ญ๐ญ๐ญhere we go again. Steph gon take it personally and itโs wraps now. โYou are what your record isโ letโs put things into context. Warriors have the most 15+ point leads blown like around 15 or so. Ya we would be a top 4 seed lol
Listent, I'm a Curry stan but be real... There's a reason why they have blown so many leads, they simply can't keep them because.... they're not good enough. You give them hypothetical wins they don't have, it doesn't work like that.
Curry is 36 and is clearly declining (shooting below 35% from 3 and below 40% from the field in the last 16 games, those younger defenders catch him now). He won't get any better as time goes by and the rest of the team is barely play in level. Face reality, it's over.
@@Luca-yb4sh I hear you but your logic is flawed. If we arent good enough then how do we get those 15-20 point leads??? Its all about consistency and not slowing down. Warriors have a horrible disease of playing for fun after they get those big leads, and they look up and its a 5 point game out of nowhere. Its not about being bad.
Warriors Strong on the Road... Better than they are at Home... Curry will finish his career with 5 or more Rings. Anything can be in the position to win a championship as long as you have free agency.
๐คฃ๐๐คฃ
I hope you are joking with the worst road record they had last year
@@jaysouthmusic8230key word last year ๐
4:58 Chris Paul should be in Spurs. To pair with Wemby.
Yall said this before
ended is strong, but this iteration of the warriors is probably not getting it done. Reload & revamp. Steph is still him.
The only way GSW is winning another title is when te whole west is injured and the finals opponent choke and crumble just like in 2022
Outside of Denver who was hurt. You can say the same about the lakers last year. Ja was hurt plus the refs and free throws helped a lot
So when LeBron won we also need to consider it as a GSW choke therefore it is not too worthy as I understand that is what you are trying to say about their 2022 championship
You keep being a hater. The dubs won. Your team lost. Get over it. lol
You are a moron
They said this one time and the warriors hushed them up
They counted us out last time. Steph is HIM
Idk see how this is even a question. Getting rid of dreymond is a must. Klay will have to take a pay cut. Chris Paul can go too. That fixes the money problem.
Itโs over for a championship but they have pieces for the future and Steph Curry. Paul is going to be gone and Klay needs to be sixth man and take reduced money. Looney and Wiggins will probably go as well. Wiseman pick was a bomb if they had gotten someone good they would be in a different place, especially with Kuminga flourishing.
This title is preworkout for Steph Curry
I blame Steve kerrโs terrible coaching n the warriors organisation for failing to add size year after year
Wisemen stole the Warriors' second-round selection.
This is ridiculous, the spurs didnโt win a chip for what 5 years before they got their last 2? They might not win this year but they will get one more
"I regret leaving the Warriors" - KD
Not true at all.. they can actually win with this squad..
Warriors will be the champs this season.
...
They need to trade away Andrew Wiggins, Chris Paul, Kevon Looney, and Moses Moody this off-season and get another threat to play alongside Curry if they want to compete for a Chip. Hopefully, they can get back Klay Thompson on a discounted contract otherwise you gotta let him go. Dario Saric will be off the books as well. This would help lower them on the luxury tax.
Shoutout to Ime Udoka for getting this rockets team anywhere close to the playoffs
We are playoff masters, That's our identity you'll see.
Stop it. They've had an incredible dynasty but they ain't beating Denver
@@ash80510they are playoff masters tho they luckily lost to the lakers last year tho . Donโt count that team out ๐
@@ash80510imma be back to this for sure
Here me out, what if the warriors dump Chris Paul, trade Klay to the Lakers for Vanderbilt, Gabe Vincent and a pick. Then use their salary space to go after Jalen Brown when the Celtics inevitably disappoint again this year and break it up?
I hate when first take have these convo tbhโฆ you lot said the same thing two seasons ago and he won the title
The reason I don't agree about him they will never find great young players to put around Curry is because it's happening now. It's players coming into the league now without the big names dominating and hungry. I think Draymond is just tired of winning.
I think I heard this before
said same thing last year got destroyed by Lakers ๐
nice jacket.,
I knew it was a fluke win cause most of Miami's starters and bench were hurt, just like them beating the grizzlies last week. LIke if their ceiling is playing well and evenly distributing the pts among their starters against depleted teams, then idk how they honestly beat the Rockets let alone any team in the group of lakers/mavs/kings/pels or however the seeding falls. Warriors and Bulls gotta be the teams that have the closest games in the 4th quarter that go to OT, and most times Warriors blow a lead they made in the first half. It's the same formula every time, this time they do not have the depth, coaching or talent besides Steph to make it in a deep conference.
It wasnt a fluke win
The Warriors like most great teams have fallen into this trap: They kept the gang around for way too long. I know it would have been heresy to get rid of Klay and Draymond in the eyes of the fans, but do you know who doesn't care about all of this. Father Time. He's undefeated and takes no prisoners. Their demise is similar to that of the Pittsburgh Penguins where they soon discovered that other teams had caught on with what they revolutionized, and they abandon the identity that made them great.
PPL ARE GONNA GET MAD BUT I PERSONALLY BELIEVE WE'RE TRADING JK, WIGGS, CP3, MOODY, AND PODZ. I DON'T WANT TO TRADE JK AND WIGGS BUT WE NEED REAL QUALITY PIECES AROUND STEPH, KLAY AND DRAY. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฟ
They won 44 games last year and are on pace to do that this year. You're exactly what your record is Steph.
4 rings
He can go 3 for 10 and itโs great!
Stephen A Ainโt Been On First Take Ever Since Lebron And JJ Reddick Dropped The Podcast lol ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐ฅด
Said this 3 years ago, I donโt remember what happened in 2022 can someone remind me?
Remember dis
GS have to get the 7 seed at best in order to avoid Denver. If GS somehow gets the 7 seed theyโll beat OKC or the T-Wolves. For sure Curry is going to retire as a GS maybe Draymond. I think Klay leaves in FA after 2024 and Looney leaves later in his career. GS are done now winning titles
Yah yah yah yah heard it all before warriors in 6
Without Kevin, Curry is just a two time champion. Without Warriors KD is ringless. Both are true.
Well, not exactly game 7 in 2016 was close even with Kyrie Lebron and love. Let's not forget that Steph was injured Bogut got injured, and yes Draymondโs suspension. The Cavs barely made it out of 2016. Those four years between the Cavs and the Warriors could have gone either way without durant.
@ZXSM Fact is it never happened. With that logic, if KD had stayed with the thunder, it was also possible they beat warriors and make the finals, again.
@@onidtubesthat thunder series didnโt come down to a game winning shot. Big difference
Yeah, people need to stop acting like Lebron had a guaranteed dynasty back then.
@@basketballboygenius2034 Yeah, but it did go 7 where Warriors were training the series. The "if" works both ways.
Wow they beat a Jimmyless Heat team , without Tyler Herro โฆ. Warriors are fried I donโt see them wasting Stephโs prime , this team will not be together next season
Wiggins/CP3 for Zach LaVine
He'll no
Spurs have been a mess? TD retired in 2016 and won a title in 2014 and they were a great team in 2015-2016? They were the opposite of a mess. Duncan never missed a playoffs
Even if it has ended, we still got 4 chips out of it. and no team now is coming close to that!
i know y'all were saying this before 2022, exact same thing. "I SWEAR CURRY IS TOO OLD THIS TIME THO" no, bro.. let him cook you're weird
10th seed!!! it not 2022 anymore๐๐๐
Worriors should never trade pool for Chris pual...
I very serious S A Smith makes first Take! This show will not last long without him. SA personality makes the show. I know I will not be watch F Take if S A is not there. And stop with this 3 split screen itโs crazy. It does not improve the show.
I think Klay gonna retire as a warriors.. i see him taking that pay cutโ ๏ธ love Draymond cause he from the mitten (Michigan) but it's time for him to come home to the Pistonsโ ๏ธ
To say they will never win again is insane theyโre one maybe two solid pieces away from being back to being a championship contender
Theyโre cooked. They donโt have a bench like they did during their dynasty. That was a HUGE reason why they won
Yall said this 3 years ago lol just shut up about it yall gone get proved wrong
He was younger 3 years ago stop being delusional
Thanks family
We said it last season too before they got bounced by the Lakers.
Every contender team have 2 superstar
Lakers davis james
Mavs kyrie doncic
Nuggets jokic murray
Suns durant booker
Clippers kawhi george harden
Kings fox sabonis
Bucks gianis lillard
Pelicans zion ingram
Twolves edwards towns
Okc shai jalen
Celtics tatum brown
Warriors will win the championship with one and only superstar stephen
If youโre going to put Murray and Jalen on OKc as superstars then you need to put in Draymond and Klay as superstars. You canโt pick and choose. I donโt think anyone considers Murray a superstar, and even worse Jalen.
Murray can elevate and play like a superstar just like Klay can but itโs either theyโre both superstars or neither are.
Murray of course he is a superstar
Jalen ur right he is not yet
@@sam123SAm1 ok so if Murray is a superstar so is Draymond and Klay. Therefore the warriors have 3 superstars and not just Steph.
I would also argue that Zion and Ingram are both not superstars either. Theyโre unproven until they perform in the playoffs.
@@WJGSixDray and Klay arenโt superstars
@@tjones8778 But Jalen, Zion and Ingram are? Thatโs my point
It's done. They won't admit it.
If they want to fast track the rebuild, trade Steph, along with Dray and Klay. Give Steph a chance to finish his career with a contender and get a haul in return.
