Austin was also in the series that gave birth to the Night Night celebration and got a gentleman sweep from Steph with the Nuggets 😂😂😂😂 He really has seen it all
What they’re not realizing is our number 2 comes in a form of different players on any given night which is sustainable long as the defense always shows up which in a small sample size it has so far. Between Wiggins, kuminga, buddy that will be your second star. As long as between those 3 guys two of them combine for 25-30 every night that’s literally the second “star”.
they've realized like all great teams have realized. Defense is simply maximizing effort and with exactly that 12-man rotation they can maximize effort in their lower amount of minutes on the court. Warriors about to alter the NBA landscape yet again...
The didn’t have a star in 2022, just sayin. I do they think need a consolidation move though. Also. During the “game 6 Klay”, Steph had 31, 10 and 9 and hit 6 threes of his own. To say he didn’t have it is totally false by Austin.
Did they "get rid of Klay?" Klay chose to sign with Dallas, the Warriors wanted to re-sign him and at higher than market rate. He just didn't want to adapt to being a role player. It does seem like Klay maybe feels a little sour about how his time in Golden State ended.
I love the realisation that Austin Rivers has witnessed the most memorable Curry moments of anyone not actually on the Warriors. Speak your trauma, bro. 😂
I understand counting Warriors out before the season but after 3 weeks they are playing great basketball. They look as good as 2022 if not better. They match up well with Suns and OKC. It's too early to think of playoffs.
Mavs have better top end talent than the Warriors but the Warriors have a better bench and depth… also have a better defence than the Mavs… The last time Steph Won he had Wiggins as his 2nd star and Klay was 4th best behind Poole who was coming from the bench … I don’t think people realise how much Steph elevates players around him in the Playoffs… and he is still HIM
Trading everything for a 2nd star is extremely overrated. Why would you trade a bunch of players that got you this good record? Just to throw in one player that will take a long period to adjust to the team and system
It wasn't just Podz, they wanted podz, Kuminga, moody, AND picks for Lauri. Lauri is nice, but he's not THAT nice. Cause if we did that, we'd have no backup point guard. Which would be a PROBLEM
The question is who is going to be that second star next to Steph? There was a massive asking prize for Markannen and the Warriors don't want to gut their depth totally.
Why does everyone always say Steph needs a second star? OKC is considered title contenders but they don't have a second star? Dont tell me Chet or Jwill are stars. They will be future but not yet.
@@luvstospoojIt's about reducing margins for error. Obviously Curry won without a second star in 2015 and 2022. Giannis also won w/o one. But outside of that, no other superstars have won without at least one All-NBA player on their team. Even LeBron has never won a title without at least one all-NBA player on the roster. That's why the trades for Love and AD were so important. Can the Warriors win without another all-NBA player? Sure. But the chances are much, much lower.
@@FDTFDTFDT Perfectly said. Nobody said its impossible - but the goal over 82 games + playoffs is to reduce risk. Everybody has off nights or small injuries or whatever deep into the season which is extremely long. Curry is one of the rare talents who could lead a team without a robin but why would you risk it if you didn't have to?
This is the way players think. It's conventional wisdom. But it seems to me, when you have chemistry like the Warriors have right now, you don't want to give up a bunch of these young, talented guys just to get a "star" who is going to break up your momentum. I say they should ride with the guys they've got and see how far they can get.
To be fair, the celtics were missing brown and porzingis and the thunder were missing chet most of the game, and also the warriors need to have a consistent number 2 option for steph because right now, it varies from Hield Wiggins and Kuminga way too much and there is no consistency there.
@@adimihirgoing back to last year, Boston was undefeated in games that Brown didn't play, and Porzingis hadn't played a game yet, so that's irrelevant. Chet was being locked up before he got injured, and the Warriors didn't have a #2 in 2022 when they won the chip.
@@remnant8898 I get that but the west is deeper Steph is going to be 37 so having a secondary star would go a long way in helping the dubs I am a warriors fan I would love another chip of course but we have to be cautiously optimistic
Didnt the Warriors offer Klay more money then Dallas. 2/48 or something. Just the Warriors couldnt promise him what the Mavs did. Starter job, 30 mins a game. He wanted a bigger role.
They just beat Boston 2 years ago with only 1 star. Unless he’s counting Klay, Klay wasn’t the same by then tho. Hield is a better ball handler and shot creator. Hield just doesn’t have the defense Klay did in his prime. But Klay wasn’t prime when they won the chip in 22’
He’s right we do need a Robin. Playoff basketball if different. 2022 Wiggins played his ass off in that playoff run I don’t see that happening again plus we beat Denver without Murray and Memphis with ja missing the last 2 games or so. Let’s get a robin and trade kuminga, pods, and picks. Steph only Has 2-3 years left.
For a guy who didn't want to leave! Also people keep acting like the warriors need to trade but the young core of podz, moody, kuminga, and trace is pretty sick. We see stars get hurt all the time.
Other teams dont want to trade with the Warriors. You seem to think its easy to get new players. All aprons etc... Podz wont be traded. Warriors have their own way to work, and its like the Meddalion Fund. Having longterm success is hard. Warriors cant use more money without being penelized, so they have to work differently. If you dont understand the human mind isnt analyzing this amount of numbers/games etc/stats. One thing is where the team are now, another thing is the future...where players are, wher the fit, their characters and how they fit Warriors. Buddy Hield ❤ Kuminga wont get that bigger max contract. Lets see where that will take us.
Podziemski is extremely reliable and the #2 plus/minus player for the Warriors, behind only Steph. I don't think being a player translates into understanding the math and strategy behind the game.
@@iLLwpg honestly hes seemed a bit off since the mask came off. Give him some time to settle into the season he immediately broke his nose and had to deal with a mask.
What are you talking about? It ended perfectly. The Warriors win. It’s all about Steph Curry. It’s his team . Thompson always knew he was the sidekick. Just look😢 at his demeanor. Steph Curry is that guy Klay Thompson just held on to his jersey for the ride.
Yeah the break up was ugly but how much of it was Klay's doing? They offered him 2 years $48 million and he thought he could do better. He gambled and he lost. Still love him but Warriors aren't paying for past performance especially with the 2nd apron
Warriors offered him more money for a 2 year extension than what he's currently getting before the start of last season. Klay felt entitled to more, so that's on him.
Horrible takes from Austin Rivers he sounds like hes still bitter. Warriors are contenders and they won the 2022 championship with LESS talent. IF the Lakers or Dallas was having this type of success he would be saying they are a championship team. ANything regarding Steph or the warriors Austin Rivers is the WORST analyst.
Austin Rivers refusing to discuss any of Steph's crazy shots over him, while the videos are showing those actual shots of Steph cooking Austin.
He was always bitter with the Warriors esp Steph🔥
@@johnhilasgue3673 not only steph making everyone his son on the court, he made austin his brother-in-law when seth married his sister 😅

He cooked them boyz. Dude is a salty hater
@ Steph is part of his family to, I don’t get it lol
Jealousy😂
in the playoffs someone did technically step up to fill that reliable second star. it was jordan poole/wiggins
Draymond, Wiggs, JK, Buddy, Podz, Moody and Trace should see this and take it personal
This man is insane, watch the dubs do what the dubs do, strength in numbers 💪🏾
Loved this one from you Austin. I enjoyed your analysis and commentary.
Did they "get rid of Klay?" Klay chose to sign with Dallas, the Warriors wanted to re-sign him and at higher than market rate. He just didn't want to adapt to being a role player.
It does seem like Klay maybe feels a little sour about how his time in Golden State ended.

Austin is painting Klay as a victim is hilarious
Really enjoy the well thought analysis. Die hard OG Ws fan here. Yes, it was 👌 perfect they all 3 hooped. Loved it!!!
Funny, everyone who says Dubs need 2nd star also said a 12-man rotation can't work.
is the guy on the right-hand Haliburton under witness protection or his twin who is aging faster than him?
He only has one of Hali’s voices
😂😂
@@fentanyljones6956 true, but it's the best one...
I understand counting Warriors out before the season but after 3 weeks they are playing great basketball. They look as good as 2022 if not better. They match up well with Suns and OKC. It's too early to think of playoffs.
They already won with less talent. Can we be honest, how many teams have made a mid-season star acquisition and won the chip?
Mavs have better top end talent than the Warriors but the Warriors have a better bench and depth… also have a better defence than the Mavs… The last time Steph Won he had Wiggins as his 2nd star and Klay was 4th best behind Poole who was coming from the bench … I don’t think people realise how much Steph elevates players around him in the Playoffs… and he is still HIM
Nonsense. They won without a second star in 22. Jokic won without a 2nd star in 23. Giannis won without 2nd star in 21.
Austin wanting to shimmy from home nowadays is hilarious AF lmao
good take, an early prime player takes the dubs from a playoff team to a serious contender.
Rivers makes a strong argument! Kuminga and Podz for Markkinon makes sense!
Steph has already won 2 rings as the only reliable scorer.
Watch him do it again.
This was the funniest part 6:22 😂😭
Yo Austin just here to tell you that you are really good at this shit. Keep goin
Trading everything for a 2nd star is extremely overrated. Why would you trade a bunch of players that got you this good record? Just to throw in one player that will take a long period to adjust to the team and system
and now he knows what the rest of us feels..
welcome Klay😂😂😂
Compare Klays return to the Bay vs KDs return to OKC wearing a warriors jersey.
Buddy Hield is playing better than Klay already this year!! People forget Klay wanted to go and took less money!!
They didn't get rid of klay. He chose to walk
A lot of doubt about this Warriors team being for real, reminds me of 2015.
In a 12 man rotation that is the second ⭐️
It wasn't just Podz, they wanted podz, Kuminga, moody, AND picks for Lauri. Lauri is nice, but he's not THAT nice. Cause if we did that, we'd have no backup point guard. Which would be a PROBLEM
Respect on the Juventus jersey Austin

They have the depth. Buddy, Kuminga, slow mo, melton, dray, podz, Wiggins, Lindy, Moses, trayce… they don’t need a second star

Dubs just beat top tier Celtics, Thunder, and Mavs, but need another player.

Pls break down Bucks' struggles
Hats off to AR
In the playoffs, Rivers would take the Mavericks over the Warriors? I'd be glad to take the other end of that particular bet...
Wiggs will be a start 2. They did it back in 22.

its crazy to think he's party of the Curry family too, cuz of his sister and Seth lol
Dude, Dallas doesn’t have it. Luka couldn’t withstand a 7 game series with a treadmill, much less the Warriors
Lauri is not like that
So glad we didn't lol
@@goldenstatew2399 They wanted to fleece us bad. They wanted Moody, Kuminga, Podz, Wiggins and 1 or 2first round picks. Pure insanity.
When did Lauri become the second coming of Christ? Warriors won the chip in 2022 without a second star. This team is probably better
I feel like Steph is the ⭐️ and the other’s are the second 🌟
Uhhh, Austin…Klay doesn’t sail, he has a power boat…
Does Rivers ever let the other guy talk?
You acting like the Dubs said no to Podz for Laurie.🙄 Ainge wanted Podz, Wiggins, Kuminga, GP2 and 2 #1's.
