And bring Eric nuclear. And -- -- Warriors post game live -- jumping on the conversation -- talking about the play of staff period it's amazing to me people who are actually -- while worrying about this year I Warriors have played five games this year three games he shot the ball very well too. He is not shot the ball well but this is one of the best pure shooters in the game right now. Yeah no question about it and you knew that he was gonna have two games. -- -- that you know against Sacramento they played a very up tempo game and he had to handle the point guard duties primarily sometimes that's going to affect the guy shot. And I clearly you didn't have that -- a lot of talk about that the Warriors. Didn't get up on the cavs perimeter guys and that allowed -- in particular get going but I saw the same with the cast the cavs allowed curry. To get going early Klay Thompson also had it going early and then curry was just able to sustain that. Throughout the game I believe long term the more they can give him opportunities not the plate just pure point guard he's going to shoot better and when he doesn't. And they've got Klay Thompson to go to. Everything you said denied -- was very uninteresting but one thing I think more than anything else you actually said the Warriors who -- the seventh overall pick in the draft for entertaining the notion. Of trading up to number forward Cleveland lost a draft Dion Waiters Syracuse guard that was the play. There was certainly interest among the Warriors the -- to move off the board hoped that he would fall to seven in and where he was originally believed to go. They thought they met them might have a shot at him. And when he didn't fall to him there was some conversation. About not taking Barnes but moving back in the draft so. The Warriors management -- this game in particular very closely to see. How the two performance certainly waiters in some respects demonstrated that maybe he could very well be worthy of that number four pick. But I have to say that Harrison Barnes acquitted himself rather well to. They did not score on fourteen to twelve tonight but Dion Waiters looks like he's gonna have a better pro career that he had a briefly at Syracuse.
