Oakland Warriors: A Golden State Warriors Podcast

Can the Golden State Warriors' 2nd unit play the San Antonio Spurs' 2nd unit EVERY NIGHT?!! Patrick breaks down the Warriors' thorough annihilation of the lowly Spurs at Chase Center 132-95 – the kind of game they desperately needed. The starters got rest and the young guys got productive developmental minutes that will hopefully pay dividends sooner rather than later. The Spurs are not a good tea...

Yes, the Golden State Warriors lost to the Sacramento Kings 122-115 and are now 0-7 on the road this season. Yes, Jordan Poole is still having efficiency issues. Yes, the bench gave up another big lead. Yes, no one could score in crunch time. Yes, James Wiseman can't get on the court even against big centers. BUT these negatives, while valid, are a little repetitive game in and game out, so Patric...

We have a 2-game winning streak!! Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' 106-101 win over the upstart Cleveland Cavaliers at Chase Center. The W's ultimately rose up to the challenge and rode another MVP-level performance from Stephen Curry to a clutch win. Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole also showed up big against one of the better teams in the east so far this season. With Anthony Lamb t...

After 11 days of not winning a single game, the Golden State Warriors returned to Chase Center and beat the Sacramento Kings 116-113, ending their 5-game losing streak. It took all of Stephen Curry (and a bunch of Andrew Wiggins) to bring the W's back from the brink in this one. Steve Kerr made some big 2nd unit changes, but the bench still struggled mightily, coughing up comfy leads and digging h...

Patrick is joined by Randy Dumalig as they take a step back and look at where the Golden State Warriors stand after their disappointing 0-5 road trip.

They also discuss ways to fix the squad and get them back on the right path. (0:...

Steve Kerr finally rested the vets and let the youngsters run wild, but the Golden State Warriors still lost 114-109 to the New Orleans Pelicans, finishing their winless roadtrip a stunning 0-5. More importantly though, we got what we've wanted, some real run and developmental minutes for the recent draft picks -- especially Jonathan Kuminga -- as well as the new 2-way players. (0:00) Intro (1:00)...

Patrick breaks down the foul-happy Golden State Warriors' 130-129 road loss to the previously 1-7 Orlando Magic. The W's are now 0-5 overall on the road with one more game left on this roadtrip, a back-to-back against the resurgent New Orleans Pelicans. The W's couldn't stop fouling, giving the Magic a 23 free throw make and 31 free throw attempt advantage. This team needs to get back to the Bay A...

Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' 116-109 road loss to the Miami Heat. The W's are now 0-4 overall on the road and 3-5 on the season, but he talks about why he is 100% absolutely NOT panicking over this slow (and sometimes ugly start). There may be rough roads ahead early on but there's a rhythm and journey to every season and this squad will definitely travel its own. It's a unique g...

Patrick discusses the Golden State Warriors' ugly 128-114 loss to the Detroit Pistons on a back-to-back less than 24 hours after falling to the Charlotte Hornets in OT. Overall, the W's looked gassed and didn't have enough effort or accuracy on either end of the court to put up a fight for a full 48-minutes. They get a day off before playing the Miami Heat for the 2nd time in a week, this time in...

Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' 120-113 overtime road loss to the Charlotte Hornets. They head to Detroit to play the Pistons on the 2nd night of a back-to-back.

(0:00) Intro (0:35) Klay Thompson's...

Patrick discusses the Golden State Warriors' 130-125 win over the Mike Brown-led Sacramento Kings at Chase Center. Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins led the team to a ridiculous 89-point first half, before the young 2nd unit squandered it before the starters had to return to secure the win. Clearly, the less experienced W's needs to learn how to tighten up on defense and close out games. However, t...

Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' first loss of the season, a 128-123 defeat at the hands of Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.

Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' signing of Andrew Wiggins to a 4-year $109M contract extension the same day as the previously discussed Jordan Poole 4-year $140M extension.

Patrick talks about how smart and savvy Bob Myers and Joe Lacob were to snag both of them before the season starts, isolating Draymon...

On national television the W's welcomed the return of Klay Thompson and Draymond Green as well as (2:56) showed off their impressive young depth with James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga abusing the rim and showing they can thrive on the court together -- a big question mark since last season. He al...

Patrick is joined by Aram in Toronto to discuss their BOLD predictions for the Golden State Warriors this season, including whether or not Klay Thompson makes the Western Conference All-Star team, if James Wiseman has a better season than LaMelo Ball, if this is Draymond Green's last season with the W's, if Patrick Baldwin Jr. will get legit minutes, and more!

Patrick breaks down the Golden State Warriors' first preseason game, a 96-87 win over the Washington Wizards in Japan. The starters and vets played injury-free token minutes, so the real stories were James Wiseman reminding the world he's supremely talented, Jonthan Kuminga playing more on-ball, Moses Moody looking steady as ever, Ryan Rollins revealing some promising aggression and get-to-the-bas...
