Brandin Podziemski, head coach Steve Kerr, and the Warriors are gearing up for a new era of basketball. After 13 seasons with Golden State,\u00a0Klay Thompson agreed to a three-year, $50 million contract\u00a0with the Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks over the summer, ending the Splash Brothers\u2019 era. However, after one NBA coach likened the Warriors to a washed-up rock band past its prime, Podziemski\u00a0fired back at the critic, per NBC Sports Bay Area\u2019s Ali Thanawalla.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t love to hear that, but we love to hear that in the fact that we\u2019re going to do something that no one expects us to do,\u201d Podziemski said after taking batting practice before the San Fransico Giants game. \u201cThey don\u2019t think that we\u2019re the Warriors that we were before, and for us, I think it\u2019s just the best feeling when you don\u2019t have anything to lose out there, and you just go out and prove people wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there\u2019s a bunch of guys with that mentality that thrive off proving people wrong, and I know Steph [Curry] is one of those guys. So just to be alongside him in the backcourt and in combination with all of our other guys, we\u2019re just excited to prove people wrong,\u201d Podz concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The anonymous NBA head coach compared the Warriors\u00a0to a washed rock band, per Heavy Sports\u2019 Steve Bulpett.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was thinking about this the other day,\u201d one coach told Heavy Sports. \u201cThey\u2019re like one of those rock and roll bands that\u2019s still touring. They\u2019ve still got their lead singer, and he can still crank it out at a high level. But it\u2019s not the same band as before \u2014 and they haven\u2019t had a hit record in a few years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat championship they won against\u00a0Boston\u00a0\u2026 that\u2019s looking like a lifetime achievement award now. They had the experience and professionalism, and Boston wasn\u2019t ready to deal with that yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Brandin Podziemski reveals mission issued by Warriors\u2019 Steve Kerr<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_91031130\" class=\"article_chunk type_51\">\n<div class=\"remote_image_container\"><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Warriors-guard-Brandin-Podziemski_b08c7f.jpg\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<div class=\"remote_image_caption\">Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (2) dribbles past Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (21) in the fourth quarter at the Chase Center.

But he is positioned for an increased role heading into his second NBA season.<\/p>\n<p>Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has expressed his desire to see Podziemski\u00a0take more threes\u00a0after four-time champion\u00a0Klay Thompson\u2019s exit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA big focus for them was me shooting more 3s. I don\u2019t know what I shot, but I shot a pretty good percentage. I just didn\u2019t get up enough attempts,\u201d Podziemski said, per Anthony Slater of The Athletic. \u201cThey want me to take anywhere (from) eight to 10 per game. That\u2019s what they told me.
