I find myself agreeing with Wosny quite a bit when it comes to specific player evaluations, but he's not great at digging into the minutia of gameplan and scheme.

It might've been the live audience recording that inspired more extreme hot takes than usual in that episode. Or they could've just been boozing a bit and not thinking it through as carefully.

Lambre or whatever the hell his name is gave an absolutely stupid take.

The Warriors are not as deep as they once were and they don't play the defense they played a year ago. Gary Payton II might be out the rest of the season with the abdominal injury. If Steph is red hot they have a chance, but he's injured right now and won't be reevaluated for another week.

I've also never heard of him, and tbh it looks like a made up name, haha.

This is the first and probably last time I'll ever listen to anything he says. I don't like sports talk with personal agendas, it's weird.

He’s probably just trying to become another Skip or Stephen A…The hotter the take the wider it spreads and gets his name out there. Seems to have worked, a few on here are figuring out who he is for the first time.

Wos is a Ringer NBA regular. He's a bit of a loudmouthed moron. Sometimes interesting, but often just runs his mouth with crazy "takes." I think he's based out of the SF Bay Area, so he's a bit of a Warriors homer. So it doesn't surprise me that he says the Warriors would beat us.

Warriors fans only been around about 10 years, so they still don't know how to act.

I've listened to him many times. I see him as a representative of the "street cred" crowd. He has a good pulse on what the "hip-hop" crowd thinks about basketball overall. He's useful in that sense, he represents of group of basketball viewers. If you take him on his own, it's pretty worthless. But if he's in panel, where you have stat/analytic nerd, next to a former player, next to a former exec, next to a beat reporter, then he brings a different vantage point.

Pretty much. But he’s too expensive for the ringer.

Hmm. I wonder how you're aware of him...

He's an East coast guy. No history with the Bay Area or the Warriors.

Mori is probably thinking of Logan Murdock who's covered the Warriors in the past and now has a podcast with Raja Bell.

No no. He meant that Wos is a Ringer regular. The following statements were meant to read “I” not “He.” Then it all makes sense :mrgreen:
