Oakland Warriors: A Golden State Warriors Podcast

Patrick breaks down observations on the Golden State Warriors' 2nd easy win in a row, this time over the Memphis Grizzlies. Playing without Stephen Curry, James Wiseman, and Eric Paschall, Andrew Wiggins and the continually surprising Jordan Poole led the charge. The two square off again on Saturday. Also, how far can the Wolves rise in the standings and risk the Warriors' dream of getting the 4th...

Patrick drops some observations on the Warriors win over the young, nearly unrecognizable Houston Rockets. James Wiseman and Eric Paschall miss the game due to COVID contact tracing. They'll likely miss about a week. Stephen Curry falls with no help from the Rockets coaching staff. Poole and Nico Mannion continue to look the part. And are the TWolves endangering the odds of "our pick" being 4 or 5...

Patrick keeps this short and painless after a long and painful blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. With a young 2nd unit, we know to accept good nights and bad nights, but can they stop taking massive L's? A milder part of the schedule awaits, so hopefully they can grow a little faster. youtube.com/nationalfilmsociety oaklandwarriors.com twitter.com/OaklandWarriors twitter.com/PatrickEpino Sup...

Patrick and Vu-Bang get ready for the 2nd half of the season and talk about (1:07) the fact that Stephen Curry and his NBA cohort won't be around forever, (2:52) revisit the 2009 NBA Draft, (10:45) potential Warriors trades before the March 25 deadline, (24:24) revisit the Warriors' James Wiseman pick and the 2020 draft, and (30:42) check in on Minnesota in another edition of "Wolves Watch". youtu...

Patrick breaks down the Warriors' relatively surprising win over the Utah Jazz. He also takes a tantalizing glimpse into the future: Next season's team blending veteran champion-hardened leaders like Steph, Klay, Draymond, and Looney along with a stabilizing high-ceiling youth movement that includes James Wiseman, Nico Mannion, Jordan Poole, Eric Paschall, Minnesota's pick and maybe their own pick...

The Golden State Warriors are back at .500 and are in danger of dipping into the red as the trade deadline approaches. Patrick drops some observations on the blowout loss to the Clippers, James Wiseman's dazzling skillset, Jordan Poole and Nico Mannion's jitters, Stephen Curry exhorting his team to keep fighting, and trading Kelly Oubre Jr. youtube.com/nationalfilmsociety oaklandwarriors.com twitt...

Patrick celebrates the All-Star break by breaking down observations on the Golden State Warriors' blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns. Without Steph or Draymond, James Wiseman, Jordan Poole, and Nico Mannion all got an opportunity to show what they could do with increase minutes. Plus, will this be the saddest All-Star game of all-time? And warming up to Fitz and Kelenna?!! youtube.com/nationalfilmso...

Patrick drops his observations on the Warriors' loss to the Portland Trailblazers. The W's blew a bunch of easy shots in the final minute to lose a game they probably should have won. James Wiseman's uneven showing limited his minutes. He needs time and way more reps but what he really needs is more dog in him. More attitude. More on-court meanness. Plus, will the W's actually put it all together...

A recent article running down the G League bubble noted a couple of players Warriors fans absolutely love to focus on: Jordan Poole and Alen Smailagić. Patrick, Vu-Bang, and Chuong discuss (00:19) the Warriors' G League history and the promising future of the G League Ignite team, (11:52) how Poole, Smiley, and podcast-favorite Nico Mannion have looked. Plus, some thoughts on (22:00) the rise of J...

Patrick is joined by Vu-Bang, Chuong, and J.P. who (2:12) answer his questions about NBA Top Shot -- the new virtual blockchain-based crypto collector phenomenon. (32:22) They also open a couple of packs and (39:15) one of the guys makes $600 right off the bat.

Patrick talks the uninteresting Warriors blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. A game they could've possibly stolen due to the injury to Anthony Davis, the W's must've found something to get into in SoCal even with all the COVID restrictions because they gave their most uninspired effort since a loss in Phoenix exactly one month ago. If they keep this up, they could find themselves under .500 in...

Patrick drops his observations on the Warriors first 3-game winning streak of the season as they beat the Charlotte Hornets. Kelly Oubre Jr.'s continued emergence, Draymond Green leaning in, James Wiseman's surprises. Plus, should the NBA change the logo to Kobe Bryant? What's the deal with someone calling Jeremy Lin "Coronavirus" on the court? And is Jordan Poole's G League showing fool's gold? o...

Patrick drops his observations on the Warriors win over the Indiana Pacers. Even without facing a box-and-1 from Indiana, Stephen Curry had an off night shooting but the W's did enough to come back home from the road trip 2-2. Steve Kerr keeps trying new lineups and rotations with James Wiseman in the second unit. Plus, Kelly Oubre Jr. continues to play well. But does that make it harder to part w...

For a night all was right with the world. James Wiseman, Kevon Looney, and Stephen Curry all returned to the lineup. And the Golden State Warriors didn't blow a 4th quarter lead and held on to beat the New York Knicks. Besides a rusty jumper, Wiseman didn't miss a beat and may have actually learned something while injured. Patrick breaks down his observations. Plus, the Santa Cruz Warriors sign fo...

Patrick is joined by Vu-Bang to talk (00:11) the Rookie of the Year race, (5:45) the Warriors odds of getting the Minnesota Timberwolves' 2021 No. 1 draft pick, (10:47) which NBA point guards would we want before D'Angelo Russell, (14:08) the fluctuating value of the Wolves' pick, (18:24) Vu-Bang's mind-blowing experience on the Warriors' Dub Hub, the big screen of fans you see behind the bench at...

Patrick talks about the most maddening loss of the year. The Golden State Warriors had a double-digit lead but a series of bad possessions, a questionable call or two, and Draymond Green losing his composure cost the W's a chance at their first win on this road trip. In a game where Stephen Curry was a last-second scratch, the squad had done just enough to win – and still lost. What's their identi...

The Warriors blew a 13-point lead in a game they definetly should have won. Bad shots, turnovers, and general miscues cost the Warriors their best chance to win three games in a row for the first time all season. Kelly Oubre Jr. has been playing really well, so should the Warriors sell high and move him before the trade deadline, which is still more than a month away on March 25? Patrick's quick-h...

Now THAT was entertaining. The Warriors generally played three quarters of mediocre basketball, but suddenly flipped the switch in the fourth and overtime. Led by Kent Bazemore, Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins, Eric Paschall, and Kelly Oubre, the shorthanded W's came back in a game they had no business winning. Now they embark on an EC roadtrip against some highly beatable teams. Can they take their...

Patrick breaks down the Warriors smack down of the Cleveland Cavaliers, including the chemistry between Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, the hope that it'll rub off on the younger players, Draymond speaking his mind on another NBA hypocrisy, and his first impressions of the "Sexland" backcourt of Collin Sexton and Darius Garland. oaklandwarriors.com twitter.com/OaklandWarriors twitter.com/Patrick...

Patrick drops some observations on the Golden State Warriors loss to Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets. It was both great and strange to see KD return to an empty Chase Center — where he literally helped break ground — play well and share some good moments with his former W's teammates. Also, looking at the rest of the known schedule, there is an opportunity for the squad to actually win three ga...

The Warriors close out on the beat up Orlando Magic and are once again 2-games above .500. With Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets coming to town, can they find a way to get their first 3-game win streak of the year? Also, the weirdness of watching a game while on the trendy Clubhouse app, Steph's MVP chances, Andrew Wiggins and Kelly Oubre both shoot well on the same night, and Juan Toscano-Ander...

Patrick breaks down his impressions of the Santa Cruz Warriors' loss to the G League Ignite team. Bottom line: if the Warriors get the Minnesota Timberwolves' 2021 1st-round pick at #4 or #5, they should pray Jonathan Kuminga is still there. Jordan Poole scored points, but didn't really show much. Nico Mannion didn't shoot well, but he looks like a point guard. And Jeremy Lin and Jarrett Jack shou...

The Warriors took down the San Antonio Spurs on the 2nd night of their back-to-back two-game series. Stephen Curry showed out again and he actually got some help. The supporting cast may not have shot particularly well but they played with energy and focus. But can they be consistent? Can they string together a few of these performances? And what should realistic goals and hopes be for this season...

Patrick drops some observations as the Warriors fall back down to .500 with a record of 12-12, blowing a 14-point lead and losing to the San Antonio Spurs. Stephen Curry had another MVP-level performance, but the supporting cast couldn't help him cross the finish line. Twenty turnovers pretty much sealed it, as well as an odd Draymond Green 3-pointer in the game's waning moments. Right now the W's...

Stephen Curry drops 57, but the Golden State Warriors lose to Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. Kelly Oubre Jr. falls back to Earth while Andrew Wiggins has a solid bounce back game. Patrick offers his observations on a night where Steph reminded a prime time audience that he's still very much in the building. Also, some questionable calls (and no-calls) and why doesn't Steph shoot more free t...
