In this episode, we analyze Gui Santos’ debut in the starting lineup for the Warriors against the Minnesota Timberwolves on 2025-01-15-GSW-MIN. Watch how Santos handles guarding Rudy Gobert and Anthony Edwards, showcasing his energy and hustle, plus his playmaking on the fast break flashing good court vision. From defensive mistakes to risky passing, we look at Santos’s performance on both ends of the court. We also look at Steph Curry’s game winning play and breakdown the somber celebration that followed.

Co-starring Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Steph Curry, Gary Payton II, Kevon Looney, Buddy Hield and Trayce Jackson-Davis.

Also with Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and Naz Reid.

  1. The way Curry pretty much tiptoes away from Naz Reid… 😂😂😂 you can almost hear the cartoon sound effect

  2. Keep doing more! You’ve become my new favorite Warriors play analyst! I’ve been looking for a Youtube format like this.

  3. WOW! A heartfelt thank you for highlighting GUI! I have been intrigued by his game since he was drafted. Great to see his hard work paying off. Thank you Leandro Barbosa!❤✌🏿👊🏿🫶🏾

  4. found myself fast forwarding on most of the replays
    their strength, for me at least, is mostly when analyzing set plays with multiple steps. feels redundant on the plays you showed here

  5. Longtime listener first time caller… when Trayce flubs the big dap, part of me wants to believe it's because both he and Curry are dealing with sprained right thumbs. Upon realizing what horrors might transpire if he exuberantly commits to his original plan, TJD pulls away at the last moment and tries to recover with a lefty dap, only for his left hand to be steered away by some sort of magnetism or telekinesis emanating from Buddy, who plays it cool and disguises his powers by going for a nonchalant lefty dap with Schröder as he calmly strolls to the bench. All manner of crises may have been averted in that moment.

  6. You could see the big ‼️ go up over Reid when he discovered he was half the court away from Steph. Big overslept on exam day vibes.

  7. Gui is a prototypical PF that the Warriors miss since Otto Porter Jr.
    I'm not saying Gui better then Otto, just saying that the team need a true PF like an AG, Gui type a dude since 2022

  8. I wonder what Steph looks like when/if Wiggs guards him. I’d imagine Wiggs likely locks up Steph too. The way I saw Wiggs guard Barnes against the Raps at the start of the game said it all. This guy is 100% all-elite NBA D.

  9. EricApricot, you didnt notice Steph do a lookaway staring at the Timberwolves fan before the ball went in.
    That was so savage!

  10. Would love to see moody, Santos and post get some minutes, especially since kerr doesnt play to kumingas strenght, might as well get some size and lenght, with the young boys. Could start with wiggs and curry, and change dray and the rest in.

  11. He needs to play 2 guard. He played pg for Brazil. Kerr wanted ball handlers? Well here you go Curry, Gui,Wiggins,Green,Vucevic. BENCH: Schroder,Waters,Moody,Kuminga,TJD
