    Started latest pod. DONE.

    Don’t want AD. Or TM3. Or Damar.

    The whole point is they screwed picks when they had a chance to reload.

    Don’t blame for keeping picks now, more valuable than ever.

    Get a grip. Nothing is going to change the current situation including money.

    Whiners are never winners.

  • TLDR: Guys cosplaying endless ads

    I used to like this pod, but there’s now just WAY too much schilling for Prize Picks, Dexascan, blah, blah, blah. Fake dialog trying to simulate real conversations about how these PT Barnum products play meaningful parts in their lives. Sad.

    I get that there’s motivation to monetize, but the ads have overshadowed the original intent and passion for the Warriors. Now it’s bland and samey takes killing time between ad breaks. Guys care more about reading ads and collecting sponsor dollars tha... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Steph has 44 v Wolves, Yaxel-mania continues + more!
Q: What do you think is most likely to happen, a trade with the Pelicans to get Yves Missi and Herb Jones, or the Clippers finally trading Derrick Jones Jr. and Brook Lopez?
Sam Esfandiari favors the Pelicans as a more likely trade partner but does not expect a deal soon; he says the team may wait closer to the trade deadline.
Steph has 44 v Wolves, Yaxel-mania continues + more!
Q: Do you agree with me that Yaxel can be an All-Star?
Andy Liu agrees, pointing to Lendeborg's early production and his ability to create offense while playing a challenging role.
Warriors Hawaii Recap ft. Danny Emerman
Q: Is there even a hint of KP playing this season?
Emerman says the Warriors expect Kristaps Porziņģis to play, but his health issue is unclear and the uncertainty is consistent with his recent availability concerns.
Warriors Hawaii Recap ft. Danny Emerman
Q: Do you actually believe this is going to lead to them turning the ball over less?
Emerman says simplifying the offense is intended to reduce turnovers, especially by limiting Draymond Green's decision-making, and estimates the Warriors could cut two or three turnovers per game.
Warriors First Preseason Action
Q: Who's the player that the Warriors are relying on to hit their ceiling the most? Brandon Williams, when it comes to getting to the paint, or Will Richard becoming some sort of off-brand version of Case of Wolves?
Sam says the team's ceiling depends most on Podziemski, Gui Santos and Yaxel Lendeborg producing consistently. Brandon Williams offers valuable paint penetration, but the Warriors need their young players to deliver on the potential the team has invested in.
