Oakland Warriors: A Golden State Warriors Podcast

Patrick discusses the 10-1 Golden State Warriors' 123-110 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, especially Andrew Wiggins' finally showing out as the amazingly explosive Maple Jordan. Wiggs had his best game as a Warrior dropping huge dunks on former teammate Karl-Anthony Towns' head. He played like the max player he can be. But why can't we get this version of Wiggins more often? Plus, Draymond Gr...

Patrick talks Stephen Curry's 50-point 10-assist night leading the Golden State Warriors to a 127-113 win over the Atlanta Hawks. He discusses NEVER taking Steph's singular greatness for granted, how the W's roster is slowly but surely reaching its potential, Gary Payton II literally annoying Trae Young on defense all night, how GP2 and Jordan Poole continue to blow up everyone's offseason and pre...

Patrick discusses his observations from the Golden State Warriors' 120-107 win over the young but feisty Houston Rockets, including sitting Andre Iguodala, how Gary Payton II and Jordan Poole have changed everything from the summer, Poole thankfully getting to the free throw line, Jalen Green (aka the Greatest Filipino Basketball Player of All-Time), and how there aren't as many "hopeless" bad tea...

The Golden State Warriors did what they're supposed to do: destroy a terrible New Orleans Pelicans team missing its two best players. In an entertaining 126-85 blowout, Patrick wants to thank the NBA's schedule-makers for giving the W's such a soft schedule to the start the season. He also discusses the importance of Jordan Poole's consecutive big games, Gary Payton II's vertical threat and contin...

Patrick breaks down the wildly entertaining Golden State Warriors' 114-92 win over the Charlotte Hornets, including the on-court catharsis of Jordan Poole's big night, Gary Payton II's steady emergence, a (mostly) unwavering belief in James Wiseman, Kevon Looney's wonky offense, Steve Kerr's continued rotation experiments, the growing luxury of the W's plug-and-play roster, the surprising number o...

Patrick catches up with Aram in Toronto to talk the "scariest" most troubling trends (lacking a dependable secondary scorer, limited team athleticism, Jordan Poole's inconsistency, etc.) vs. the most enouraging trends (Andre Iguodala's calming presence, true depth and team chemistry, etc.) for the Golden State Warriors so far this young season. They also discuss this year's talented NBA rookie cla...

Patrick talks the Golden State Warriors' first bad loss of this young season, a 104-101 come-from-ahead-to-lose defeat at the hands of the Memphis Grizzlies. Specifically, he discusses the W's coughing up a 19-point lead due to godawful turnovers and poor decision-making, Jordan Poole's tendency to force the action, the team's built-in flaws against younger more athletic teams, the silliness of bl...

Patrick talks the Golden State Warriors' 119-107 win over the Sacramento Kings.

Plus, Patr...

Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' home opener -- an aesthetically unpleasing 115-113 win over the resilient, physical Los Angeles Clippers. Specifically, he talks Stephen Curry's continued transcendence, Jordan Poole's struggles (and first opportunity to make real adjustments), the correctable sloppiness of 21 turnovers and 14-22 FT shooting, the flaws in their roster, protecting thei...

Patrick is again joined by Jose Lopez from GetRoppa.com to talk about... BEN SIMMONS! Jose is a huge advocate for trading for the estranged Philadelphia 76ers 6'11" point guard.
