He talks Stephen Curry's dominant 46-point outburst, Gary Payton II's emerging three-point consistency, what this win means for the squad overall, the big upcoming Phoenix Suns Christmas game, and what Jaren Jackson Jr.'s solid play after a long torn meniscus rehab could mean for W's big man James Wiseman....

Patrick is joined by Vu-Bang to talk the NBA's response to omicron vs. the NFL's, the ripple effect of the uptick in cases, what this all might mean (if anything) for the All-Star game and the playoffs, an uneasy experience going to a game at Chase Center, a secret steakhouse entrance, and thoughts on the Warriors' upcoming games against the Memphis Grizzlies and the Phoenix Suns. (**Note: This ep...

Patrick breaks down what we learned from the Golden State Warriors' 113-98 win over the Sacramento Kings, including the veterans flipping the switch, the good fortune of resting the vets the previous Toronto game, the role players performing better at home, comparing Jonathan Kuminga to Harrison Barnes, how teams might have to start living with much greater roster uncertainty, and more! CONNECT WI...

Patrick is joined by Aram in Toronto to break down future franchise cornerstones Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman. They discuss Kuminga vs. Scottie Barnes, Kuminga's two-way downhill electricity, how he compares to the other guys drafted ahead of him thus far, and when he'll finally crack Steve Kerr's rotation for good. They then wonder what if James Wiseman had the luxury of being brought along...

Patrick talks the Golden State Warriors' 111-107 road win over the Boston Celtics, including Andrew Wiggins' Maple Jordan reliability, securing a winning road trip, sitting the star veterans against the upcoming Toronto Raptors on the 2nd half of Saturday's back-to-back, hoping for legit Jonathan Kuminga minutes, and the unknown affect the new Omicron variant could have on NBA standings. CONNECT W...

Patrick breaks down Stephen Curry FINALLY breaking Ray Allen's career 3-point record in a 105-96 win over the New York Knicks.

Plus, he talks Andrew Wiggins' continued aggression, Jordan Poole's Harden-esque night at the free throw line, Jonathan Kuminga's fearless...

Patrick is joined by Vu-Bang to talk the Golden State Warriors' 102-100 road win over the Indiana Pacers. They discuss how the circus around the three-point record is throwing off Stephen Curry's mojo; Ray Allen's pettiness; Jonathan Kuminga's much needed energy; the need for the newer less-playoff tested Warriors to experience tough, stressful road wins; what they thought of Myles Turner and Doma...

Patrick discusses the Golden State Warriors' 102-93 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. He wonders if Stephen Curry has lost a step or if there are just some young defenders who have been groomed by the modern game to guard guys like Steph. Patrick also talks about how the less experienced W's bench players need to learn how to be consistent in high-pressure games on the road. And of course, f*ck Dann...

Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' 104-94 win over the Portland Trailblazers. He also discusses what to expect on the tough east coast road trip ahead, where he wants to see Stephen Curry break Ray Allen's career three-point record, the real problem with a James Wiseman for Myles Turner trade, and if convincing Marc Gasol to come back to the NBA is the W's best bet to shore up the cent...

All is right in the world again! Patrick talks the Golden State Warriors' 126-95 win over the youthful Orlando Magic. Specifically, he gives thanks once more to the gift that keeps on giving: the DLo for Andrew Wiggins and the pick that became Jonathan Kuminga trade. (Yikes!) Wiggins put on a show and tied his career-high in three-pointers made in a game with eight and Kuminga again showed off his...

Patrick runs down the Golden State Warriors' stinker of a trap game loss to the San Antonio Spurs a night after taking down the Suns. Everyone knew it was a trap game but still the W's could not prevail. It is just one loss but will it come back to haunt them in what's looking to be a competitive top of the Western Conference? And would Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody's unencumbered energy have h...

Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' 118-96 win over the Phoenix Suns, retaking the top spot in the Western Conference by half a game.

Patrick discusses the FOUR main things he'll be looking for from your Golden State Warriors in their rematch with the Phoenix Suns. It's a long season and this game will be missing key players such as Devin Booker, Klay Thompson, and James Wiseman, but how well the W's adjust from the first matchup earlier this week will be quite telling.

Patrick is once again joined by UCLA Professor Ramesh Srinivasan to discuss the Golden State Warriors' 104-96 loss to the Phoenix Suns. They break down the Suns' impressive defense (particularly Deandre Ayton and Mikal Bridges), the poise of the Suns' younger live-bodied players, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green's worst games of the season, the need for James Wiseman to study these kinds of games...

We're a quarter way through the season and Patrick discusses the Golden State Warriors' 105-90 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. He breaks down Stephen Curry's "pissed off" barrage, Jordan Poole's clutch effort, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody's encouraging cameos, Chris Paul's inability to beat Steph and the W's, and the NBA's dream scenario of the two best teams in the league -- your 18-2 Warr...

Patrick discusses the Golden State Warriors' 118-103 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Specifically he talks the improving secondary scoring tandem of Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole, if Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are the reverse John Stockton and Karl Malone, Steph being clearly better than Damian Lillard, how Portland should just start over and reshuffle the deck, and the importance of...

Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' 116-96 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. With the Warriors clearly being very, very good, he discusses revised goals for the squad this season: preserving health, maintaining playoff positioning, and getting the supporting cast members acclimated for the big moments and bright lights of the playoffs (and beyond!). In this game, the W's successfully acc...

Thanksgiving is here so it's time for some gratitude! Patrick is joined by Vu-Bang for an entertaining discussion about what they're each thankful for so far this promising Golden State Warriors season. They talk Bob Myers, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Larry Riley, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the old ill-fitting Los Angeles Lakers, the Malice at the Palace, the Bay Area G League teams, and more!...

Patrick drops some thoughts on the Golden State Warriors' shorthanded 105-103 win over the lowly Detroit Pistons. With Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, and Otto Porter Jr. all sitting, secondary players Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole stepped up with aggression and efficiency to hang on for the victory. Showing even greater depth, Gary Payton II and Nemanja Bjelica chipped in as well...

Patrick is joined by Dan Lee of the San Francisco band Scrabbel to talk the Golden State Warriors come-from-behind 104-89 win against the plucky short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers. They talk the W's championship DNA (after sleepwalking through three quarters), "Peak Steph's" 4th quarter MVP performance, the professionalism of Juan Toscano-Anderson, Jonathan Kuminga's brief struggles, the need for Jo...

Patrick is once again joined by UCLA Professor Ramesh Srinivasan to discuss the Golden State Warriors' surprising but convincing 117-99 blowout win over Kevin Durant's Brooklyn Nets.

The win-streak is over, but it's just one loss. No reason to panic. Patrick digs into the Golden State Warriors' 106-102 loss to the Charlotte Hornets, including Jonathan Kuminga's eye-opening rapid improvement, Andrew Wiggins remaining in attack mode, the W's surprisingly cold 3-point shooting, rotation questions, closing lineup issues, and more!

Patrick wonders if this 11-1 Golden State Warriors team has the deepest roster from 1-15 of the dynasty era, as the W's handily defeats the Chicago Bulls 119-93. Specifically he talks: Stephen Curry getting an "easy" 40; Jonathan Kuminga showing the power, athleticism, and patience to prove he might be ready way sooner than you think; the W's defense continuing to impress; high-flying dunkers sudd...
