Inspirational verse from Draymond on Brandon Podziemski and Moses Moody - postgame 12/2/23
What do you think of Podziemski and Moody putting themselves in a position of playing crunch time?
I think both of them have been incredible. Not just today, they've been incredible all year.
I don't know what to say about Moses. He makes every hustle play. He's knocking shots down. He's competing at a high level. He's defending at a high level. He's doing everything that you'd be asking for in a third-year guy in the corners that you want him to turn. He's turning every corner.
And as I told you all, BP is just a player. It's not much else to say. When you think about guys in this league, you always try to categorize a guy. This guy's a shooter. This guy's a defender. This guy's a passer. He's just a player. Like, he just figures it out. He gets it done. He defends, he competes at a high level. He's a gamer, he figures out his spots and he doesn't get outside of himself. And then I think the last but most important thing is he's fearless. He's going up against James Harden like he belong there. That's a skill. That's a trait that most people don't possess. You're talking about a rookie going up against, what James won one MVP? He lost against Steph who had the craziest year we've ever seen. We know who James Harden is and he's taking on that challenge like he's another guy at the park, and irrational. You know and I think that's amazing when guys have that. It's good. BP’s playing well for us and his minutes are continuing to grow and grow and that's it. That's not just due to injuries. That's a testament to the work. The production that he that he's bringing and giving us when he's in the game.

Have nobody to blame but ourselves. We haven't been able to execute in close games this year and that's mostly on the vets.
