He then recaps the Warriors 'win over Denver, noting the referee crew (Marc Davis, Che Flores, Robert Hussey) and that Draymond Green was a late scratch with lower back soreness. Despite missing Steph, Jimmy, KP, and Draymond, Golden State started with exceptional execution, strong cutting and passing, early three-point shooting, occasional defensive lapses (including back-doors), and strategic moments like a surprise full-court press. The Warriors led 39-27 after the first quarter and 76-67 at halftime, with the host highlighting 42 assists on 48 made field goals and strong performances from Moses Moody (23 points) and Al (22 points, 6-for-7 from three, 7 assists), while Podz recovered from early misses to finish with 18 points, 15 rebounds, and 9 assists. The third quarter swung toward Denver as foul trouble (especially for Gui Santos, who finished with five fouls) and turnovers helped the Nuggets tie and take the lead, and the Warriors went 0-for-13 from three during a stretch. In the fourth, Golden State responded with timely stops, steals, ATO execution, and key plays from Gary Payton II, Melton, Gui, and Podz, including a late baseline dagger by Podz to seal it. Rich also notes Denver’s turnovers (including five each from Jamal Murray and Jokic), the Warriors winning the steals battle, and an arena incident where a fan with a Serbian flag was asked to leave. The game ends with the Warriors winning by 11. #brandinpodziemski #goldenstatewarriors #warriors #nba #dubnation #letsgowarriors #denvernuggets #nikolajokic #jamalmurray

Podziemski hits an ATO three but then has two puzzling misses; the Warriors’ offense features multiple bricks and air balls, with the speaker noting the team’s struggles without Steph Curry and Jimmy (lack of shot creation and gravity). After finishing the first quarter down 36-32, the second quarter opens with a Celtics 16-2 run, corner threes beating the Warriors’ zone, and multiple timeouts; Porzingis returns to action to a standing ovation but looks rusty and the Warriors fall behind by as many as 23 at halftime. Payton Pritchard leads Boston with 26 points (10-for-18, 6-for-11 from three) plus 6 rebounds and 7 assists; Jaylen Brown posts a triple-double (23 points, 15 rebounds, 13 assists) and repeatedly beats the defense, while the zone continues to be punished by shooters like Hauser. The third quarter worsens the deficit (down as many as 34), with Draymond going scoreless (0-for-7, 0-for-5 from three) and the Warriors generating only 65 points through roughly 33 minutes. In the fourth quarter, the Warriors use a full-court press to mount a comeback, sparked by Pat Spencer steals and a strong stretch from Gary Payton II (key threes, rebounds, a steal leading to a reverse dunk), cutting the lead as low as 11–12 before missed opportunities and a Brown dagger fadeaway prevent a single-digit game. The speaker critiques Melton’s inconsistent focus and mistakes despite a solid box score line (18 points on 7-for-13, 2-for-6 from three in 25 minutes) and notes Podziemski finishes with some late buckets and zero turnovers while still figuring out his role. The recap ends with observations about personnel limitations, reliance on threes, and Gui Santos’ uneven but improving play. #kristapsporzingis #garypaytonii #goldenstatewarriors #warriors #nba #dubnation #letsgowarriors #deanthonymelton #brandinpodziemski #bostonceltics #jaylenbrown #paytonpritchard

They also mention Jaylen Brown’s struggles and the Shooting Stars event replacing the Skills Challenge. They shift to the Warriors’ roster, noting they’re about $2.6M under the second apron and could add a veteran-minimum buyout player. Haywood Highsmith is no longer available after signing with Phoenix, and they debate Lonzo Ball despite reports Golden State may pass after converting Pat Spencer. The focus turns to Draymond Green’s future, referencing his interview with Mark Medina saying he could play 2–4 more years and a fan poll favoring a trade. Rich argues to keep him for his late-game synergy with Steph Curry but acknowledges his $27M player option complicates the cap and may require an extension to retain players like Gui Santos, De’Anthony Melton, and possibly Quinten Post. They revisit Giannis trade hypotheticals and stress the need to add frontcourt help so Draymond isn’t overused at small-ball center. They express cautious optimism about adding Kristaps Porzingis or other floor-spacing bigs, while noting contract and health uncertainties, including Jimmy Butler’s situation. They also discuss a deep draft, debating fit versus best player available, referencing Tankathon and prospects like Hannes Steinbach, Yaxel Lendeborg, and Joshua Jefferson. They revisit past draft choices—Wiseman, Kuminga, Moody—considering hindsight and alternatives like Haliburton, Trey Murphy, and Jalen Johnson, plus Boston’s 2017 Tatum move. They close by defining a successful season, managing Steph’s minutes, and imagining future lineups, including whether Draymond could come off the bench in the regular season but start in the playoffs.00:00 All-Star Game Surprise: Team World vs Team USA Delivers00:44 Wemby Sets the Tone + Jaylen Brown’s Rough Night01:24 Are the Warriors Complete?
