He recalls a few other teams that could have been for Agent Zero...and yes, a coin flip to decide his next team.

He looks back on the team in those first two seasons, the joy he experienced making an all-star team and the story of an all-time great nickname. - Learn more about your ad choices.

But before they get to NBA Finals anatomization and predictions, they must first navigate their way through the most 2018 scandal ever. - - On the heels of a report from The Ringer's Ben Detrick that suggests Philadelphia 76ers president Bryan Colangelo has five secret Twitter accounts dedicated to serving his own agenda, Andy and Dan discuss all the various forms of potential fallout. The accounts in question haven't been confirmed as Colangelo's, but the evidence seems pretty damning. And given how critical these burners were of everyone from Joel Embiid and Markelle Fultz, to Sam Hinkie and Masai Ujiri, it stands to reason all this could ultimately cost Colangelo his job. - - Will it also cost the Sixers a shot at signing LeBron James and Paul George? Should we give Colangelo the benefit of the doubt in this instance? Is this the craziest NBA storyline in recent memory? - - After blitzing through this, Andy and Dan offer their thoughts on the Magic hiring Steve Clifford as their new head coach. And then, from there, it's NBA Finals time. Do the Cavaliers have a chance? What are the implications of every possible Finals outcome? What tactical adjustments will the Warriors and Cavs make as the series goes on? We talk about it all! - - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 80 – Conference Finals Updates / Both conference finals seem to be at a competitive place. But watching the coaching adjustments in each series has been nothing short of fascinating. The Cavaliers are the only team of the four that is not relying on switching on defense and that really worked well for them in game 3. Will the presence of a traditional center continue to get them the match ups they want? The Warriors have been dealing with the Rockets switch heavy defensive scheme by relying on Kevin Durant’s individual offensive creation. Is that a good and sustainable idea. Also, is Steph Currt missing the presence of Zaza Pachulia to help him going offensively? All of this and more.

Also, the Lakers are reportedly going to go hard after LeBron James, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard in the summer. - Around the NBA, the Cleveland LeBrons evened the series with Indy, OKC's big three fell flat in the 4th vs. the Jazz, and James Harden took a break from being the MVP and it didn't matter. - Learn more about your ad choices.

The Spurs started Rudy Gay over Kyle Anderson but it didn't matter, as Gay's scoring couldn't help LaMarcus Aldridge (34 points, 12 boards) push San Antonio over the top. - The Warriors role players have been turning up the heat, with Andre Iguodala playing like a man reborn in the past two games, and Kevon Looney holding it down on the defensive end.

Locked on Warriors: Apr 16, 2018: Dubs Rebound Like Monstars - LMA Held in Check - Rox Nearly Rocked by Minny / The Warriors flipped the switch at the right time, coming on strong against the Spurs from the opening tip. They rebounded the ball with ferocity, outboarding San Antonio by 21. Kevin Durant and Draymond Green filled up the stat sheet, while Klay Thompson filled up the bucket (27 points on 13 shots, 0/0 from the FT line). Steve Kerr opted to start Andre Iguodala in a very shrewd move. - The Spurs, especially LaMarcus Aldridge, were held in check for the entire game. LMA only put of 12 shots, and could only be counted on for 2 boards on Saturday. That will change though, as LMA is too good of a player to put up two clunkers in a row. The Warriors will have to stay composed and keep their energy and wits about them if they want to hold serve again. - Around the NBA, the Rockets were knocked about by the Timberwolves despite Karl-Anthony Towns and Jimmy Butler playing poorly. Houston needed every one of James Harden's 44 points to get past Minny. Game 2 should be interesting. Also: Boston is better than the sum of its parts. And: Anthony Davis really is the monster we've all said he is. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 74– Day One Deep Dive / The Raptors held true to the identity of their 2017-18 regular season, even without Fred Van Vleet. They were not strictly dependent upon the shooting of Lowry and DeRozan. The Wizards will need to try to defend in game 2 with suboptimal rim protection. The Sixers shortened their rotation in the second half versus the Heat and it made all the difference in the game. What will Spo do going into game 2? The Spurs were not very inspiring in their game 1 loss to the Warriors. Are their any adjustments they can make with Curry sitting out all of the first round? The Pelicans got a road win to take advantage in their series with the Blazers. Both team were gassed at the end of the game but get a couple days of rest before game 2.

Locked on Warriors: Apr 12, 2018: Dubs vs. Spurs in 1st Rd. - Klay's Season - Kerr Deserves Credit / It's official, the Warriors will begin the playoffs at Oracle on Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs. No Stephen Curry for this series. The Dubs played the Spurs well on two out of three occasions this season, with the final meeting resulting in an ejection for Draymond Green and the lowest point output of the season for GSW (75). The Spurs will mostly likely be without Kawhi Leonard, but LaMarcus Aldridge has been stalwart at the 4/5 position all season. The Warriors' bigs will have their hands full. - Klay Thompson has had a confusing season. He shot the ball better than he ever has, but that did not come with an increase in scoring. He barely hit 20.0 ppg this year, going 9/27 on the last game of the season to get the 23 points he needed to reach that plateau. He also had a down year defensively, according to advanced metrics. He will need to be the nuclear weapon we know he's capable of being in the playoffs. - The Warriors' coaching staff deserves credit for keeping morale high and reaching 58 wins despite all the the injuries the team has dealt with. They could have easily won ten fewer games. Steve Kerr did a great job of keeping the environment fun, and making sure everyone got a chance to play significant minutes. That focus on morale will bode well in the playoffs. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Locked on Warriors: Apr 11, 2018: Kerr's Dubs Suffer Worst Loss - Steph's Season - Warriors on Stats Leaderboards / The Warriors were outplayed from the outset in every facet of the game by the Utah Jazz last night. The Jazz were playing for their playoff lives, while the Warriors only seemed to be playing to make sure Klay Thompson could average 20 points on the season. The veteran 2-guard took 27 shots in the game, making 9. The Warriors would go on to lose by 40, their worst loss in the Steve Kerr era. - Stephen Curry only played 51 games this year, but he was impactful in every one of them. The two-time MVP arguably had a better season this year overall than he did last year, when the missed games are removed from consideration. But alas, Steph was hampered by ankle and knee injuries and won't return until after the playoffs have commenced. - The Warriors pepper the NBA stats leaderboards, with Stephen Curry leading the league in True-Shooting Percentage, the ultimate catch-all of shooting that we have. Klay led the team in three-pointers made, while Kevin Durant makes many appearances. Draymond Green is not as present as he has been in years past. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Warriors: Apr 10, 2018: GSW Can Play Spoiler @UTA - Swaggy P Ups & Downs - Season Synopsis Pt. 2 / There was a lot of winning by teams needing wins on Monday night, with the Thunder among the gaggle of teams to lose ground despite bringing home Ws. OKC now sits in 7th and could face the Warriors in the first round. - Tonight the Warriors face the red hot Utah Jazz, who have risen all the way to 4th in the West, and are looking to make ground on Portland for the 3-seed. The Jazz have won 5 in a row on their way to a playoff berth without Gordon Hayward. They have a new star in Donovan Mitchell, who played 38 minutes in Utah's most recent win against the LA Lakers. - Utah's roster is filled with two-way players, which is exactly what Nick Young is not. The man they call Swaggy hasn't exactly been a disappointment this year; rather he's not the kind of player the Warriors could rely on to ingest complicated defensive schemes. That's a problem when he's not hitting shots, and he's only shot 42% from the field this year. - Continuing the season synopsis, defense is the subject of the day, starting with Draymond Green, who hasn't been the same player this year. The Warriors have missed Stephen Curry, who was the only All-Star to have a season on the upswing. Kevin Durant was kind of the same, reliable KD. And while Klay Thompson was money, his numbers are down. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

KD did have 41 points and 10 rebounds, but it was not enough as both Jrue Holiday and Niko Mirotic hit 20 points, along with Anthony Davis who had 34 and 12 boards. It was an entertaining game throughout, but the Dubs weren't able to get the win for the fans on the final home game of the season. - The next night, the Warriors came out firing against the Phoenix Suns, and didn't turn the ball over to boot. The GSW defense was mostly suffocating, and the team coasted to an easy victory behind 34 points from Klay Thompson and five other Warriors in double figures. - Now that the season is almost over, it's time to take a look at the campaign as a whole.

Locked on Warriors: Apr 3, 2018: Snake Back in OKC - Potential Playoff Previews: Timberwolves & Pelicans / The Warriors look to create a legitimate winning streak with a victory over the OKC Thunder tonight in the heartland. The Thunder have played up and down in their last few games, but are looking to move up in playoff positioning to get home-court in the first round. The Warriors could definitely play spoiler. Thankfully, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are all healthy and ready to take on the challenge. - The Timberwolves are currently seventh in the West, so they would face the Warriors in the first round if the playoffs ended today. The Wolves will be welcoming back Jimmy Butler to their starting lineup in the next week or so. He will be a difference maker in the playoffs as will Karl Anthony Towns, but even without Stephen Curry it will be very tough for Minny to take four games off the Warriors. - The same goes for the New Orleans Pelicans, who have lost their last four and are in danger of falling out of the playoffs. The Pels are riding Anthony Davis as best they can, but need something more from their role players if they're going to stay in the chase to avoid the Rockets and Warriors in the first round. It will be interesting to see who Steve Kerr decides to start at center in the first round, depending on who GSW ends up playing. - Learn more about your ad choices.

The Bucks are not that good considering all the talent on the roster, but they're fighting for playoff positioning and will be a tough out tonight despite their relatively middling record and statistics. It's Giannis vs. KD in the SF matchup, which should provide plenty of fireworks. Draymond Green is set to make his return to the lineup as well. - In the 2nd segment, we go back in time to Stephen Curry's rookie year, where he was playing alongside Monta Ellis and Corey Maggette. The team went 26-56 under Don Nelson, and Curry was 2nd in Rookie of the Year voting that year. It was a different time, when Thunder was hooping and hopping as the Warriors' mascot, and the team would routinely score 110 points and give up 120. - The final segment is the first in a series of synopses of the Warriors' potential opponents in the first round of the playoffs.

There were good things in the loss, however, with the Dubs jumping out to an early lead, and a veritable block party from Jordan Bell and Kevon Looney. However, the Warriors only have 8 more games, and are currently 6 games from the 60-win plateau. The return of Kevin Durant and Draymond Green on Thursday should help matters. - In the statistical deep dive segment, the Pacers game remains the focus. Lineups and miscellaneous stats are explored, with particular attention given to fast break points, which are an indicator of pace and an offensive mentality—the Warriors only had 2 fast break points against Indiana. - Around the NBA, the Celtics have won 4 in a row despite Kyrie Irving's surgery. The Cavs are hurting, with Kevin Love on concussion protocol, and in danger of losing home court in the first round. The Rockets are still streaking, but would face the Timberwolves if the season ended today. That matchup bodes well for the Warriors, as the Wolves have the ability to match up with the Rockets at every position. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's a wide-ranging show that begins with some other difficulties Aliko had to deal with over the weekend before heading into the latest on the various injuries and ailments of the Core 4. - The depleted Warriors played well against Atlanta and went on to win despite losing Stephen Curry in the 2nd half. They were dangerously outrebounded by the Utah Jazz on Sunday, leading to a blowout loss at home, but there are lessons to learn from the loss. Namely, this group of Warriors takes care of the ball very well, but has trouble getting the ball in the basket sometimes, and needs to rebound as a team. - Tonight it's the Pacers, the last team this season the Warriors have yet to play. Victor Oladipo is leading the league in steals and taking a ton of long twos, and he's got the Pacers winning games and potentially going into the first round of the playoffs with homecourt. Elsewhere, an epic streak from the Splash Brothers will end this year due to injuries and that other chef in Houston. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Locked on Warriors, Mar 23, 2018: Dubs Injury Update - Down the Reddit Hole - More on the HBL, NCAA / The Warriors welcome back Stephen Curry (ankle) tonight against the Atlanta Hawks. Steph said his ankle is not 100%, and would not be until after June. But as he knows, it's time to lock in and make that push to the playoffs. Klay Thompson (thumb) may be returning Sunday against the Jazz, along with Draymond Green (pelvis). Kevin Durant (rib) is out for at least another week. Omri Casspi (ankle) is on the IR as well. - Down the Reddit Hole, today stays focused on the Warriors subreddit. It's Quinn Cook's birthday! Steve Kerr will certainly give hime some playing time on that account, and the fact that he's been very good of late. There's a poll on r/warriors asking whether or not Cook should be added to the playoff roster, and if so, who would GSW drop? Elsewhere, Klay landed the latest cover of SLAM Magazine. and Steph is playing in low tops for the first time. - The third segment is a continuation of the conversation about the Historical Basketball League and the NCAA's adherence to the amateurism model. Aliko offers his thoughts on the subject, as well as those of Andy Schwarz, the founder of the HBL, whose analysis forms the backbone of Aliko's upcoming piece on the subject at Forbes.com. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Kevin Durant will be re-evaluated next week, while Draymond Green is day-to-day with a pelvic contusion. GSW will host the Atlanta Hawks Friday, and it doesn't get easier from there, with the Jazz continuing the Warriors homestand on Sunday. A few beatdowns of good teams would do the Dubs some good heading into the playoffs—particularly with the Rockets playing so well. - The second and third segments are an interview with the CEO and CMO of the Historical Basketball League, Ricky Volante and Ralph Greene. The HBL has been founded in conjunction with historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and expects to tip off in either 2019 or 2020. The summer league will provide players with a paycheck as well as endorsement opportunities in addition to 5-year scholarships. - The wide-ranging conversation covers the falsehoods behind the amateurism model, why the HBL opted to partner with HBCUs, and just how it's all going to work. Further on, Ricky and Ralph go into detail about how it's unlikely the NCAA will be able to successfully retaliate against the HBL, and how current and former Warriors can get involved with the league as mentors and advisors. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Warriors: Mar 20, 2018: Steph Could Return Fri - Quinn Cook Roster Spot? - Best 1st-Rd Matchup for Dubs / The Warriors didn't have enough firepower without their four All-Stars to take it to the Spurs last evening. They only put up 12 points in the fourth quarter, while giving up 28, and were no match for LaMarcus Aldridge's onslaught (33 points on 22 shots, 12 boards). Quinn Cook had another 20 point outing but was inefficient, and Nick Young didn't make any of his 5 three-point attempts. Draymond Green left the game early with a contusion in his pelvic area. - Quinn Cook has been doing his very best Stephen Curry impression over the last few games, including going 5-7 from three against the Kings and against the Suns. Though he had 4 turnovers against the Spurs, he played well in 38 minutes. His Player Impact Estimate from the game against the Kings (22.7) shows how integral he was in that game despite the loss. So Quinn Cook is my Warrior of the Week. - Around the NBA, the East has become an internal struggle for playoff seeding, with Detroit falling out of the playoff race over the last few weeks. Toronto is within a half game of the Warriors for the second-best record in the league behind Houston, which faces Portland tonight in a must-watch for Dubs fans. The bottom half of the West playoff bracket has a number of teams that could give GSW trouble in the first round. Which is the best matchup out of the bunch? - Learn more about your ad choices.

They will face the Kings at home tonight without Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Patrick McCaw. Curry, Thompson and McCaw aren't expected to be able to return until the end of the month. Draymond Green's shoulder is ailing but he will play, and David West is finally ready to return from a cyst on his shooting elbow. Andre Iguodala is nursing a few injuries but will suit up.

But in the true spirit of the "next man up" mentality, the available Dubs fought with passion before their energies fizzled out late in both games. Kevin Durant put up 40 and 39 points respectively, but against Portland, the Warriors were outrebounded by 14, and vs. Minny they allowed 58 points in the paint. Neither outcome is a recipe for a win. - Having lost their last two games, the Dubs are now 2 games back of Houston in the loss column. But do they really need the No. 1 seed to make it back to the Finals for the fourth time in a row? Aliko looks at historical trends going back to 2000 to see which champions won the regular season, and which ones simply made it through to peak at the right time and take out the "better" team.

Locked on Warriors: Mar 9, 2018: KD Takes Over vs. Spurs - Streaking Blazers a Tough Test - Dubs vs. Wolves Sunday / The Warriors lost Stephen Curry to an ankle "tweak" early in the first quarter of last night's game vs. the Spurs. The arena was mostly quiet after that, with fans pondering Curry's status as the Dubs and Spurs went back and forth. Thankfully, Kevin Durant (37 points, 11 boards) and Draymond Green (triple-double) came to play, igniting the crowd in the fourth quarter with a furious comeback, and ultimately sparking the Warriors to a 110-107 victory. - Curry will not be available tonight vs. the Blazers, nor will Andre Iguodala, David West, Jordan Bell or Patrick McCaw. Portland is riding an 8-game winning streak (which began with a win over the Warriors on Valentine's Day), and has ridden Damian Lillard and its defense all the way to the third seed in the Western Conference. During the streak the Blazers are outscoring opponents by 12 points per game. - The banged up Warriors then have to travel to Minneapolis on Sunday to face the Wolves in the ABC matinee. In the midst of an extremely tough stretch, Minnesota has lost its last three, and will definitely be looking to rebound, literally and figuratively. Golden State will have to continue to grab boards by committee, run Wolves players off the line, and play patiently on the offensive end. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Warriors: Mar 8, 2018: Reeling Spurs @ Oracle - Dubs vs. Spurs 2013 Throwback - You Down with NOP? / The Spurs come to Oakland having won only three of their last 11 games. They've had a very tough schedule over the past month, and are clearly missing Kawhi Leonard, who may make his return this month. It won't be in time to face the Warriors however, but the Dubs are a little banged up themselves. Despite ailments down the roster, the Core 4 are intact and ready to play, so expect the team to be locked in. - Five years ago, the Warriors met the Spurs in the 2nd round of the playoffs. It was the middle of the Dubs' coming out party. Stephen Curry had just put the hurt on Denver, boosting the 6th-seeded Warriors out of the first round in 6 games. Meeting the Spurs, the Dubs narrowly missed their chance to bring a 2-0 lead back to Oracle, with Harrison Barnes completely flubbing his coverage on an out of bounds play that allowed Manu Ginobili to hit a wide open buzzer-beater in Game 1. Wow that feels like a long time ago. - Around the NBA, the Pelicans have won 10 in a row, and Anthony Davis is living on another planet right now. He's averaging 36 points, 13 boards and 6 stocks during the win streak, doing everything for the Pels while flanked by elite passing in Rajon Rondo and Jrue Holiday. Holiday is scoring a ton over this stretch as well. In Indiana, things haven't been going quite as well lately, but they have won 7 of their last 10 and are still holding on to one of the middle spots in the Eastern Conference playoff race. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone who played in white was efficient, with Stephen Curry (34 points on 12/20 shooting) leading the team. Andre Iguodala continued his post-All-Star Break torrent, filling the stat sheet and skying for dunks. Jordan Bell sprained his right ankle in the 2nd half—the Warriors are optimistic for a speedy recovery. - The Warriors went on a 25-0 run in the first quarter, but squandered their lead by allowing a 25-4 run from the Nets in the second. The net ratings for both teams from these blistering first-half performances are insane. Aliko posits that the Warriors lead the league quarters with a net rating of 30 or above. More research is needed. - The Rockets got their 16th straight win in Oklahoma City on Tuesday evening, and will go for their 17th tonight in Milwaukee on League Pass. They are leading the league in net rating during this stretch, which goes back to January 28.

Since then, the Nets have made some personnel moves, acquiring Philly cast-off Jahlil Okafor among others. Brooklyn runs at a fast pace, but has little in the veins of defense and shooting. The Warriors should make quick work of them if they keep the turnovers to a minimum and rebound as a team. Stephen Curry is expected to play after rolling his ankle in Friday's game vs. the Hawks. - Andre Iguodala has been playing very well since the All-Star Break. The vacation seems to be exactly what the 34-year-old veteran needed. He has a spring in his step, and hasn't show below 50% in any game since the break. He saved the Warriors in Atlanta on Friday night with a key steal and breakaway dunk, and is cementing his previously unsure role in the playoff rotation. - Around the NBA, the Rockets are in Oklahoma City Tonight in a big game for both teams, with the Thunder having a tough time jockeying for playoff position and the Warriors breathing down Houston's neck. The Pelicans are also putting their win streak on the line against the Clippers. - Kevin Love, who is recovering from a wrist injury, came out with a story in the Player's Tribune explaining his mysterious illnesses from earlier in the season. He has been dealing with anxiety attacks, and suffered two different attacks during games in November and January. It was brave for the Cavaliers' All-Star to come forward with his mental health status, and acknowledge that he is seeking help through therapy.

Stephen Curry scored 28 points but suffered an ankle tweak (thanks Zaza), and only played 23 minutes. Kevin Durant picked up the slack with 28 points of his own and some great defense down the stretch. Nick Young chipped in with four three-pointers and Draymond Green was his usual self, filling up the stat sheet outside of the points column. - The Warriors have 19 games to go this season, and are looking at a rather easy schedule through the month of March, They face the Nets and Spurs this week at home. The Young Guns—Jordan Bell, Kevon Looney and Quinn Cook—haven't been playing a lot of minutes lately. Against teams like the Nets, look for Steve Kerr to get them some solid run as the team prepares for the Second Season. - In philanthropic news, Klay Thompson and his immediate family have partnered with Opus Bank to launch The Thompson Family Foundation, which will be involved in a number of youth-focused initiatives in 2018. The family is also participating in a docuseries produced by Opus titled "A Solid Foundation," which serves as an introduction to the Thompson and how they operate as a unit.

Locked on Warriors: Mar 2, 2018: Dubs Down South - Reddit Hole - Warriors Invade SportsMoney Index / The Warriors finish their three-game roadie in ATL tonight, facing the fairly atrocious Hawks. The Hawks have some wins over good teams though, so the Dubs will have to keep up the intensity they've been showcasing since the All-Star Break. That include shoring up rebounding on the defensive end, where the team has faltered lately. - (Didn't make the Pod: Shawn Livingston will be held out tonight for rest; Klay Thompson says the Warriors are trying to run the table to close the season; the Warriors met with CA representatives Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Lee while in DC.) - Down the Reddit Hole, Steve Kerr has some great insight into Donald Drumpf's flip-flopping on gun control, Stephen Curry is destroying hotel rooms, and Twitter handle @ThisDayInSuck reminds us to cherish these good times. Also: Kyrie Irving has words about Zaza Pachulia falling on Russell Westbrook. - The Warriors are well-represented in the Forbes SportsMoney Index, with the franchise and stars Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry making the Top 25. The Bay Area is well represented on the list as well, with the 49ers, Giants and Raiders all falling in the Top 50. The Warriors are now worth $3.1 billion, and stand to increase their valuation by $1 billion with the completion of the Chase Center in 2019. If they win the title again this year, that valuation will climb even higher. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Locked on Warriors: Mar 1, 2018: Dubs Continue Solid Play - 2015 Finals Redux - Conscious Warriors / The Warriors topped the Wizards led by Kevin Durant's 32 points. Klay Thompson held Bradley Beal in check, Steph Curry hit threes, and Draymond Green was everywhere. The only nitpick: 18 offensive rebounds for Washington. Other than that, the Dubs held it down. Their defense was sound (held the Wiz to 40% shooting), they took care of the ball (15 turnovers), and the offense was humming (51%, 42% from three) for the most part of the evening. - For Throwback Thursday, we take a look at the 2015 Finals, where Stephen Curry was very good but could not pull momentum away from LeBron to win his first Finals MVP. That award instead went to Andre Iguodala, who changed the series when he was inserted into the starting lineup in Game 4. Aliko posits that Steph's entire 2015-16 MVP campaign may have been in response to that "snub," (as well as the NBA players voting James Harden their MVP that year). - Lastly, Curry used his trip to Atlanta to be a part of Kaiser Permanente's NBA Total Health Forum. The event is part of efforts by Kaiser and the NBA to promote healthy minds, bodies and spirits. Curry is also doing his part to reduce the stigma of mental illness. Kevin Durant also made news this week by giving $10 million to College Track to empower students from his hometown of Seat Pleasant, MD. The Warriors are walking the walk. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Mo Harkless is back into the starting lineup. Why are we encouraged about the Blazers? The Jazz entered the break with an 11 game winning streak and split their first two games back. The one loss was a costly one. Are we optimistic about Utah? The Suns were fun to watch. We are all in on Devin Booker. What about the other young Suns players? The Thunder took their first loss of the season to the Warriors in prime time on Saturday night. Their depth remains a concern for us. Is there any hope to get their big four some help?

The Wiz have been outpacing every team in assist percentage since John Wall went down with an injury earlier this month. The offense has become egalitarian, and the Warriors will have to keep their hands active in the passing lanes to thwart this high-powered machine. - While in DC, the Dubs decided to spend their time with local kids at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. It was a fitting alternative to heading to the White House, which which have been awkward to say the least. - Around the NBA, Kawhi is back with the Spurs, Anthony Davis is playing out of his mind for the Pelicans, Corey Brewer is available off waivers, and the NCAA is under fire from NBA players for its outdated rules about amateurism. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry all broke the 20-point plateau, while everyone wearing The Town managed to get off offensively. The new-look Knicks pushed the Dubs in the first half, scoring 64 points, but they were understandably no match for GSW through 48 minutes. - Draymond Green had another suberb defensive outing, and is the subject of this week's Warrior of the Week segment. The lineup of Green, Thompson, Shaun Livingston, Andre Iguodala and David West carries the league's most stifling defense, and it was on display in the 2nd and 4th quarters of last night's game. - Around the NBA, the Rockets continued their win streak with a victory at Utah Monday, while in Denver, Paul Millsap is set to return following a wrist injury suffered early in the season.

Locked on Warriors: Feb 26, 2018: KD Good, Zaza Bad - Jordan Bell Returning - Knicks in Freefall / The Warriors exorcised a few demons by beating the Thunder on Saturday evening behind some amazing defense and even better offensive execution in the third and fourth quarters. Kevin Durant shone brightly with 28 points and some key defensive plays, while Stephen Curry held it down from three-point land. Klay Thompson clearly took his defensive assignments seriously, helping to force Russell Westbrook in to 5 turnovers on the night. - The Dubs' schedule through the next few weeks has some highlights but for the most part is a period of time in which the team should feast on lesser opponents. They will have to maintain their current offensive output, rebound and take care of the ball, and play the kind of stifling defense we saw against OKC every time out. Jordan Bell's return to the lineup should help. - Tonight GSW is at Madison Square Garden to face the Knicks, where Curry has provided ample fireworks in the past. This Knicks team has been in freefall since Kristaps Porzingis went down with an ACL rupture at the end of January. However, they do rebound the ball and the Warriors get every team's best shot, so it would be best if the Dubs don't fall asleep in the Big Apple. I would take more of Klay's thoughts on scaffolding or anything else that comes to his mind. - Zaza Pachulia has come under fire for appearing to intentionally fall onto Russell Westbrook as both were in a scrum for a loose ball. Official Locked on Warriors opinion: Zaza deserves a fine. It was dangerous and not a basketball play, and it was disingenuous. A flop is perfectly fine when it doesn't endanger another player's health. But what Zaza did could be classified as "dirty." Other topics include: JaVale starting, blocked jump shots, and the latest on Jimmy Butler's injury. - Didn't make the podcast: Draymond had his most recent technical foul rescinded, putting him at 14 for the season - two away from a suspension. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Last time out, the Clips thumped the Dubs behind a 50-spot from Lou Williams. Something tells me it won't be the same this time around. Either way, the All-Star Break was a much-needed respite for GSW. Expect sharp minds and spry legs tonight. - In honor of this game, we go back in time to the last time the Warriors-Clippers rivalry meant something: April 2014. It was then that the 57-win Clippers bested the 51-win Warriors in a hard-fought 7-game series. The Dubs were bursting at the seam with potential even then, but it was not to be that year. - Around the NBA, Kawhi Leonard has ruled himself out for the rest of the season. Woj reports an increasingly unhappy marriage between team and star, but the Spurs are full of class and Kawhi is not only under contract for the forseeable future but he's also about as Spursian as they come.

Locked on Warriors: Feb 14, 2018: Warriors Up in PDX - Home vs. Road Stats - Win Streaks Abound / The Warriors look to take their win streak to four games heading into the All-Star Break, with their last game up in Portland against the Trail Blazers. The Blazer may be without Jusuf Nurkic tonight, while the Dubs will have Draymond Green returning to the lineup. Look for Steph Curry and Klay Thompson to light it up before they head down to LA with Kevin Durant and Draymond to represent GSW at the All-Star Game. - This season, the Warriors have nearly identical stats at home and on the road. That's rare, even for a very good team. The Warriors have already lost 7 games at home this season, and could be on their way to more home losses if they don't pick up their focus and defensive intensity. Separation in home-road splits would be a great sign going into the home stretch of the season. - Around the NBA, the Rockets are on a 9-game win streak, and the Jazz have won ten in a row. The Raptors have overtaken the Celtics for the top spot in the East, and the new-look Cavs have dominated multiple game opponents. Perhaps the Warriors can use rest from the break to get into a little win streak of their own. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Locked on Warriors: Feb 13, 2018: Warriors Toast Suns - Dub of the Week - Derrick Rose? - Rockets Threaten / The Warriors took on the Suns at home last night and for the third-straight game, Stephen Curry didn't have to play the fourth quarter. Actually, the fourth featured heavy minutes from Omri Casspi, Nick Young and Kevon Looney, who all played well in the win. Casspi in particular had a double-double and made the younger Suns guarding him look slow. - Casspi make an appearance on Dub of the Week, but it's Patrick McCaw who gets the honor this week, as he played basketball on five-straight days going back and forth between Santa Cruz and the big club. - Also on tap: whether or not Derrick Rose is worth a look, and how much of a threat are the Rockets? - Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Warriors: Feb 12, 2018: Weekend Warriors - Rising Stars Analysis - Here Come the Suns / The Warriors got a good win over San Antonio on Saturday to keep pace with the Rockets in the Western Conference. They defended well and didn't turn the ball over too many times. Perhaps what we were waiting to see until after the All-Star Break is starting to come to fruition earlier than expected. - Jordan Bell is still dealing with ankle inflammation, and will likely not return until after the Break. Speaking of, the Rising Stars Challenge will be played on Friday and will feature the NBA's top talent from the last two draft classes. These young guns will put on a show before the big show. Watch out for Ben Simmons who feels he was snubbed for the All-Star Game, and Donovan Mitchell who has been playing like a wily veteran scorer for the Jazz. - Tonight the Warriors face the Suns for the first time this season. Phoenix may be without Devin Booker, but the Warriors are definitely going to be without Draymond Green, who is nursing a left hand injury. - Learn more about your ad choices.

The Mavs came into Oakland reeling from injury but still put up a good fight for about three full quarters. In the end however, the Dubs got back to their smothering defensive ways, and Steph Curry didn't have to play in the fourth quarter.

Locked on Warriors: Feb 8, 2018: KD Questionable vs. Mavs - Deadline Deals Past - Cavs Fire Sale / The Cavaliers decided that one trade was not enough, firing off a series of moves that have completely transformed their roster. They got younger and fast, but this still doesn't guarantee a trip back to the Finals, or that LeBron will stay in Cleveland beyond June. - The Warriors stood pat at the deadline despite inquiring about players such as Avery Bradley and Marco Bellinelli. They could potentially pick up Joe Johnson off waivers if his is bought out by the Kings, but the Celtics and Rockets are also in contention for the veteran's services. If the Warriors do pick up Johnson, they will have three former All-Stars coming off the bench along with Andre Iguodala and David West, in addition to the four current All-Stars starting for the team. - Tonight the Warriors face the Mavericks at home, potentially without Kevin Durant, who is nursing a left hand contusion. Dallas is hurting as well, and could be without Harrison Barnes, their leading scorer tonight. The Mavs jettisoned Devin Harris at the deadline in favor of Doug McDermott, who may or may not be available to play tonight. - Around the NBA, the Jazz and Knicks made moves at key positions, while the Clippers signed Lou Williams to a new three-year deal rather than trading him. They also held onto DeAndre Jordan. The Celtics kept Marcus Smart and Atlanta elected not to trade Marco Bellinelli. The Lakers transformed by picking up Isaiah Thomas and Channing Frye, while also opening up some cap space for the summer. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Locked on Warriors: Feb 7, 2018: Thunder Thump Dubs - Diving into ORtg/DRtg - Warriors in Trouble? / The Dubs' latest thumping came at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder, I would say the Thunder have GSW's number, but most of their problems were in the effort department. Seemingly no one except David West even tried to stay in front of Russell Westbrook, while 25 turnovers—most of them live-ball and many of them plays of insanity—fueled OKC's fast break. Kevin Durant was mostly good but took only 14 shots due to the turnovers and didn't have much backup last night. - The difference in Offensive and Defensive Rating numbers on Basketball Reference and NBA.com is the subject of this week's Statistical Deep Dive. Going forward, I will utilize Basketball reference for individual ORtg and DRtg, while utilizing the NBA's stats website for team ORtg and DRtg. The differences in the stats on both websites are broken down in the second segment. - In the third segment, I look at the bigger picture for the Warriors, including the chance that they will go into the playoffs without the no. 1 seed. Other topics include Kristaps Porzingis' ACL tear (and who should replace him in the All-Star Game), and Patrick McCaw taking a G-League sabbatical. Kevin Durant hurt his left hand and is questionable for tomorrow's game against the Mavericks. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Locked on Warriors: Feb 6, 2018: Thunder at Oracle - JaVale the Beast - Trade for Dubs? - Homecourt in Jeopardy / The Warriors will face the Thunder—losers of four straight—tonight at Oracle Arena. The Thunder have had an up-and-down season and are currently in 5th place in the loaded Western Conference. The Warriors will have to have their heads on swivels defensively if they are going to win against a very good team with its back up against the wall. The vaunted Dubs defense has fallen to 10th in the league over the last month and change. - JaVale McGee doesn't play big minutes but he always impacts the game when he enters—he's this week's #WarrioroftheWeek. Though he can be flighty at times, his per-36 numbers compare favorably with many defensive-minded rebounding bigs that play more minutes. - Zach Lowe of ESPN reports that the Warriors inquired about Avery Bradley, who was recently traded to the Clippers, Though the talks went nowhere, this is a sign that the Warriors are trying to upgrade at the wing position before the February 8 trade deadline. Could McCaw be on his way out of Oakland? - Around the NBA, the standings are starting to take shape. The Warriors are only one game ahead of the Rockets in the loss column. Debates as to whether the Dubs having homecourt throughout the playoffs is that important abound. But with the Rockets having won the season series, there is only one way for GSW to retain the no. 1 overall seed: win more games. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Warriors: Feb 5, 2018: Warriors Falter at Mile High - Damian Jones Appears - Defensive Breakdown / The Warriors began the weekend with a solid win in Sacramento, though they committed 25 turnovers in the 15-point victory. Stephen Curry led the team in +/- and Kevin Durant had a team high 33 points. The Dubs followed it up by posting a defensive rating of 118 in a loss to the Nuggets in Denver. In both games, GSW allowed at least 5 players from the opposition to reach double figures. - There are bright spots however. Damian Jones got his first extended runs of 2018 in the two games, igniting the Warriors with a monster block against the Nuggets on Saturday. Kevon Looney played some solid minutes as well. David West was away from the team attending the funeral of Rasual Butler, his close friend. The Warriors have two meetings against the Thunder coming up—OKC is another team that has beaten the Warriors this year. - So the defensive intensity will have to pick up at some point. The Warriors have fallen to 10th in the league in defensive rating behind an early-2018 stretch that has seen them routinely allow more than 110 points/game to their opponents. The final minutes of the Denver game show the ways in which the Dubs have faltered defensively; ball-watching, helping off shooters, and late rotations abound. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Warriors: Feb 2, 2018: Pesky Back-to-Back for Dubs - NBA Trade Machine - What's a Travel Anyway? / The Warriors are coming off a loss and playing two teams who've beaten them earlier in the season in a back-to-back beginning tonight in Sacramento. The Dubs were without Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry in their loss to Sacto earlier this season, however Durant played in a lackluster effort against Denver on December 23. The Kings are near the bottom of most major statistical categories, but the Nuggets are coming off a big win over the Thunder on a Gary Harris three-pointer, and are currently two games above .500. - Miles joins Aliko to discuss both games and go Down the Reddit Hole in the second segment. Topic include Nikola Jokic's excellent play of late, conspiracy theories about the rampant LeBron free agency rumors, and why James Harden's step-back isn't a travel. Also: Greg Monroe signed with the Boston Celtics for money but less playing time than he would have gotten in New Orleans. And: Would it even be worth it for the Cavs to land DeAndre Jordan considering what they'd have to give up? - In a bit of Warriors news, Bob Myers confirmed that the team is looking to upgrade its bench shooting before the trade deadline. The Dubs are at the bottom of the league in three-pointers made off the bench, but are still in the conversation for best three-point shooting teams because of three guys who do it better than almost anyone ever has. Omri Casspi—a very capable three-point shooter—will need to bring a shoot-first mentality into any playing time he receives the next few games. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Aliko breaks down some set plays the Dubs have run over the last week and a half, including the options those plays help spring open. - Sleepy Floyd is the primary subject of this week's #ThrowbackThursday, but all of the period from 1978-1990 is fair game as Aliko illustrates of brief history of the Warriors during that time. Famously, Sleepy Floyd scored 29 points in the 4th quarter of Game 4 of the 1987 Western Conference Semifinals against the Lakers—an NBA Playoff record. - In the last segment, Aliko goes around the NBA, making sense of Kevin Love's broken hand, bringing you the latest on the upcoming All-Star Game, and addressing the reports that LeBron would consider meeting with the Warriors in the offseason. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Warriors: Jan 31, 2018: "Pathetic" Play from Dubs - Stats Leaderboards - Kerr the Unifier / The Warriors stunk up the joint in Utah last night, committing 19 turnovers and playing poor defense for most of the contest. Only Klay Thompson was able to get his shots, as Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and Draymond Green all struggled from the field. Everyone in white was a net minus, and the Jazz romped to a 30-point victory, only their third against the Dubs in the last 17 games. Steve Kerr called his team's play "pathetic." - The NBA individual stats leaderboards are the subject of this week's Statistical Deep Dive, particularly where the Warriors fall in some of the most fun categories, like true shooting percentage, win shares, and three-pointers made. There's a few surprises among them. - Lastly, the Warriors take a look at Steve Kerr, who's been fighting the good fight away from the sideline in addition to coaching the Warriors to the league's best record. His willingness to speak out against what he sees as unjust practices coming out of the White House resonates with his players, and deepens the bond between them. This penchant for confronting hard truths has also led Oakland Magazine to name Kerr its East Bay Person of the Year. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Locked on Warriors: Jan 30, 2018: Dubs on Road Again - Griffin Trade Reaction - Durant Wows with Passing / Nobody saw it coming but Locked on Podcast Network is all over the Blake Griffin trade aftermath. What's next for the Clippers? Did the Pistons do enough to make noise in the crowded East? But we can effectively say the Warriors destroyed Lob City, beginning their era of dominance one year after losing to LAC in a hard-fought playoff Game 7. Draymond will certainly miss playing Blake Griffin four times a year. - The Dubs are at altitude in Salt Lake City tonight to face the Jazz, who play slow and defend their turf. The Jazz are without Rodney Hood however, and matching the Warriors' scoring will be an issue, despite sensational rookie Donovan Mitchell scoring 19 points per game. If Curry and Co. can keep their turnovers down, they should be able to control the tempo and make Rudy Gobert a non-factor on the defensive end. - Speaking of defense, Kevin Durant is this week's #WoW, but we're not highlighting his epic blocks or indefensible shot-making. It's his passing lately that has him in Aliko's sights. He followed up a 14-assist effort—Durant eclipsed his career high of 12 midway through the third quarter—with a 28/10/11 triple double in home games against the Knicks and Wolves respectively last week. - Learn more about your ad choices.

He found help from Al Horford and Jaylen Brown, who helped keep Boston in the game and contributed to their 14-28 night from range. - On the other side of the ball, Stephen Curry had a season-high 49 points, contributing to him being named the Western Conference Player of the Week. The Human Torch set Oracle on fire, nailing 8 threes and going 16-24 from the floor. Klay Thompson had another subpar game on the offensive end, but Draymond was his usual stat-stuffing self, and Kevin Durant put in 20 points to help the Dubs to a 109-105 victory. - Elsewhere, Rookie Watch has become Young Guns Watch on the Locked on Warriors podcast. Kevon Looney, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are this week's subjects. Patrick McCaw did not play in this one, and Jordan Bell is still days from being re-evaluated. - Lastly, Aliko covers the DeMarcus Cousins Achilles injury, including the scope of this loss, and the aftermath for both the All-Star game and the Pelicans' playoff hopes.

Will the Pelicans make a deal in the aftermath of losing DeMarcus Cousins for the year? Might the Thunder look to replace Andre Roberson after his season-ending injury? Do the Nuggets, Blazers and Jazz have blockbuster deals in them? - Will the Lakers find new homes for Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson? Should Utah trade Rodney Hood and Derrick Favors?

Despite 48 fast break points and 21 three pointers, The Dubs allowed the Wolves to stay in the game for most of it, though they never led. Minnesota was without Jimmy Butler in the contest, and Andrew Wiggins did not play well, but Karl-Anthony Towns, former Warrior Jamal Crawford and Jeff Teague picked up the slack. - On the other side, Kevin Durant had his second triple double of the season in spectacular fashion (28-10-11), coming off a 14 assist effort on Tuesday. The Warriors overall had 37 assists on 48 made baskets, and shot better than 50% from the field and from three.

For one, how do they right the ship on defense? The Wolves have their own defensive issues, but are coming into town having won many more games in January than they've lost, and sporting two All-Stars in Jimmy Butler and Karl-Anthony Towns. - Aliko and Locked on Wolves host Colton Molesky discuss the matchup, including how Klay Thompson and Butler will fare against each other, Kevin Durant's improved defense, and how Stephen Curry can go supernova at any point in time. Tune in the Locked on Wolves today for the entire conversation. - Since it's #ThrowbackThursday, Aliko also takes a look at the last few times the Warriors have posted a losing streak of three games or more, and discusses what was going on in the world at that time. - Learn more about your ad choices.

The Dubs reeled off 40 assists, and Stephen Curry scored 17 of his 32 points in the deciding quarter, which has become a norm for him. - With the All-Star Game coming up shortly, and teams set to be revealed tomorrow, we inaugurate the first annual Locked on Warriors All-Stars Mock Draft.

130 - All-Star Snubs, Cavs Rumors, Kevin Love Trade Idea, Bucks Fire Jason Kidd / Will the latest reports emanating from the Cavaliers' leaky locker room lead to a massive roster overhaul at the trade deadline? George Hill rumors are everywhere, but might Cleveland consider moving Kevin Love or try getting in on the Kemba Walker sweepstakes? Hardwood Knocks has a three-team trade idea that lands the Cavaliers everything they need to challenge the Warriors while giving Love a change of scenery. - Reports of a rift between Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs feel premature, if exaggerated. Should we make anything of his reported unhappiness? - The Bucks, meanwhile, opted to fire Jason Kidd on Monday after plunging down the Eastern Conference standings. Does moving on from him alone make them a noticeably better team? Should the front office be concerned about how this impacts its relationship with Giannis Antetokounmpo? Will Kidd ever coach in the NBA again? - And last, but certainly not least, the NBA's All-Star player pool has been finalized. Were there any noteworthy snubs? Andre Drummond? Ben Simmons? Chris Paul? Did Kristaps Porzingis deserve to make it? How about Klay Thompson? Plus, Andy and Dan finish off their own All-Star draft. Be sure to let us know who you think has the better team! - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on Stitcher and BlogTalkRadio.

We'll get into it in the second segment, featuring multiple Warriors of the Week - Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. - In the first segment, Aliko breaks down the play of Kristaps Porzingis, who may or may not be named an All-Star (along with Thompson and Green) by the time Knicks vs. Warriors tips off tonight at 7:30 PT. Porzingis' play has taken a dip in December and January, and his New York squad is 21-26, good for 10th in the gritty Eastern Conference. - Around the NBA, the Cavs are holding emotional meetings, Dame is wondering what's going on in Portland, and Kemba Walker is definitely on the trade block. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Warriors: Jan 22, 2018: Turnovers & D a Problem - Rookie Watch - NBA Standings / The Warriors faltered against the Rockets, turning the ball over 19 times and allowing a defensive rating of 115 - which is horrible. James Harden played the last few possessions like the the MVP front-runner he is, while the Warriors lost their poise in the final minutes, looking desperate and chucking up shots outside of the flow of the offense. - Nick Young played well and Kevin Durant got his 26, but it was mostly all bad for the Dubs, who seemingly were playing from behind after allowing 40 points in the first quarter. The problems with turnovers and the defense have to be rectified before the All-Star break if Golden State is to maintain its home-court advantage for the playoffs, particularly since it has now lost the season series to Houston. - Jordan Bell is out for the next two weeks, but his stats still shone in this week's Rookie Watch. In particular, Bell leads all NBA rookies in Win Shares / 48 minutes. Elsewhere, redshirt rookie Ben Simmons will be duking it out with Donovan Mitchell for Rookie of the Year honors come playoff time. - Around the NBA, Jason Kidd was fired in Milwaukee, the Cavs are 3-7 in their last ten, and there's a big drop off between the top four teams in the West and the rest of the pack. The Warriors' schedule continues to be tough leading up to the All-Star break, so they will have ample chances to right the ship as the dog days come to a close. - Learn more about your ad choices.

The Bulls are playing really well and coming off a win over the streaking Heat. Jordan Bell and the rest of the Dubs will have to play with poise if they are going to continue their road winning streak in Chicago. - In this week's Statistical Deep Dive, Aliko takes a look at the Warriors' defense since Stephen Curry returned to the lineup on December 30th. TL;DL: It hasn't been good. Golden State has been far and away the best offensive team over this two and a half week stretch, but their defense has been middling at best. Specifically, they haven't been running people off the three-point line, which will be crucial against the Rockets on Saturday. - Around the NBA, there've been a number of altercations and straight up fights in the last few days, with the Rockets and Clippers taking the cake as far as bizarre outcomes. Elsewhere, Kawhi Leonard has been shut down indefinitely in San Antonio, and Gordon Hayward is shooting again. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Locked on Warriors: Jan 16, 2018: Three Up, Three Down for the Road Warriors / The Dubs have played (and won) three games since the last Locked on Warriors podcast. Wins are always nice, but against the Bucks the Warriors almost fell apart in the second half, particularly on the defensive end, while in Toronto, GSW surrendered a 27-point lead to only end up winning by 2. - To be fair, these teams have Giannis Antetokoumpo and DeMar DeRozan respectively, but it was a team effort from both of these squads, pressuring the Dubs defensively in the 2nd half and playing fearlessly from the start. It seems fear is not a tool the Warriors can count on as readily as in the past few seasons, particularly against teams that have aspirations of making the Finals. - And on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, the Warriors had perhaps their easiest win of the long weekend, dominating LeBron's Cavaliers in the 2nd half despite another gem from the King (32/8/6 with 8 turnovers). Will the Cavaliers, who have lost 8 of their last 10 games, be able to right the ship with a trade before the deadline? - Kevon Looney had his best stretch of games as a professional, and Jordan Bell added another start to his NBA resume. Steph, KD, Klay and Draymond were staunch as usual, but will need to find another gear if they want to continue to build on their 13-game road winning streak against Chicago and Houston. - Learn more about your ad choices.

No Steph for the Warriors tonight, who are in Milwaukee to face Giannis & Co. before continuing their 5-game roadie in Toronto on Saturday. - The Raptors, to their credit, are playing fantastic basketball—and their new OVO-inspired jerseys and court are absolute fire—and coming off a shellacking of the Cavaliers in Toronto behind brilliance from DeMar DeRozan and utter garbage hoops from the team from The Land. - Elsewhere, Aliko and Miles go down the Reddit hole, expounding on such subjects as the Wizards' current woes, Zach LaVine's upcoming Bulls debut, Kobe's new ESPN show, and the latest on Markelle Fultz' mysterious shoulder ailment. - Also on the docket: there's a bit of confusion as to how the All-Star team captains are going to go about picking their teams. The picks won't be televised, which has left Aliko and Miles with ample fuel for conspiracy theories. Speaking of All-Stars, do the Warriors deserve four this year?

The team missed Klay Thompson's on-ball defense clearly, as well as the Splash Brothers' potent scoring and gravity. Kevin Durant scored his 20,000th point but it was to no avail, as Lou Williams went off for 50, including 27 in a decisive 3rd quarter. - For #ThrowbackThursday, we go back to early 2012, when the Warriors traded Monta Ellis for Andrew Bogut, and Joe Lacob was booed at Chris Mullin's jersey retirement ceremony. Were the events related? Listen to find out. - Lastly, the Warriors are heading out on a tough 5-game roadie: @Mil, @Tor, @Cle, @Chi and @Hou. They've actually played better on the road this season than at home, but with tough tests at each stop, they will have to increase their defensive intensity and not get caught in heavy iso situations on offense. - Learn more about your ad choices.

The man with the baby face did some weekend assassination, casually putting up 45 points on 8 three-point field goals in under 30 minutes. His continued torrent of scoring earned him Western Conference Player of the Week honors. - Warriors rookie Jordan Bell is playing well as well, but hasn't had as much of an opportunity to shine since Curry came back. Most of that is just matchups however, and Bell will have plenty more chances to match his 20/10 performance from December 22. - The Nuggets are coming to town tonight, but will face a different Warriors team than the one they beat in December. It's highly doubtful the Warriors will again go 3/27 from the three-point line, but it is also unclear whether or not Kevin Durant will play. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Warriors: Jan 2, 2018: Steph's Return Triumphant - Treacherous January - Klay Sheds Light on Shoe Deal / Stephen Curry returned to the Warriors just in time. With the Dubs coming off two losses in four games, the two-time MVP made his return to the lineup on Saturday vs. the Grizzlies.

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 48 – Team Updates for Blazers, Nuggets, Pacers, Hawks / We continue our in-season analysis. How have the Blazers made themselves into a top 5 defense? We explain that it comes down to who is playing at the power forward and center positions and what they are asking their perimeter defenders to do. Have they sacrificed too much on offense to achieve what they are doing on defense? We discuss. The Nuggets are 29th in defensive rating but held the Warriors to 81 points in their matchup this week. What should we make of that? The Pacers might have won more games that some predicted they would on the entire season. We were optimistic about them prior to the season; but how sustainable is this? We still see roster construction issues for them at this point but a second round draft pick could solve a lot of that and it’s a player no one is talking about. Well, we talk about him on this episode. The Hawks are bad. But John Collins has been good. Taurean Prince is showing flashes of growth on offense. Dennis Schroder has been terrible on defense. Can a coach hold a team accountable on defense if their best offensive player is not putting in the effort on the defensive end of the court? We discuss.And who got our awards this week? Listen and find out. Greg cheated again but it’s not a terrible take.All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow us on FaceBook: @fullcourtpressnbaLearn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Warriors: Dec 27, 2017: Dubs Lose Bigly Before Xmas Victory - Death Toll Lineup - Previewing the Jazz / The Warriors stumbled vs. Denver, never getting in a rhythm and going 3-27 from beyond the arc. Their defense kept them in the game but when you're not making shots you normally do, it's hard to get a win against a team that has brought its A-game and is trying to keep pace in the brutal Western Conference. - Luckily, the Warriors righted the ship on Christmas Day, behind incredible defense and an all-around great game from Draymond Green, who recorded his first triple-double of the season (11-12-11-2-1). The end of the game was controversial for some, but the Warriors pulled it out with the help of a new lineup: The Death Toll. - Tonight the Jazz come to town without defensive juggernaut Rudy Gobert. Utah is still a formidable opponent however, and the Steph-less Warriors will have to keep their defensive intensity high if they want to start a new win streak in the wake of the loss to the Nuggets. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Get ready to cover some serious ground in advance of the NBA's robust Christmas Day slate. - Who will win the battle of the unicorns, between Kristaps Porzingis and Joel Embiid/Ben Simmons, when the New York Knicks meet the Philadelphia 76ers on Christmas Day? Neither Stephen Curry nor Isaiah Thomas will be ready to rock for Monday's NBA Finals rematch, but can the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers still view this game as a barometer? - The Oklahoma City Thunder are getting frisky. They have the league's best defense, Paul George is shooting a little better, and their offense doesn't stink all the time. Can they stand up to the NBA-best Houston Rockets on Christmas? - Do you know what the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns have in common? They both have a better defensive rating than the Boston Celtics over the past 10 games. Can the boys in green steady their rickety, rockety ship while squaring off against the Wizards? - Watching the Los Angeles Lakers is fun. Watching the Minnesota Timberwolves is not—unless, of course, Jimmy Butler is going to work in crunch time. Who wins their late-night Christmas Day showdown? - Andy and Dan wrap things up with a mailbag the covers Brett Brown's future in Philly, Hassan Whiteside's injury, Dennis Schroder's trade value, the hoplessness of the Charlotte Hornets' situation and so much more. - But first thing's first: The Rockets plan to make a play for LeBron James this summer, according to ESPN.com's Zach Lowe.

There was a lot of good and a lot of bad in this one, and some lessons to take forward as the Dubs continue their stretch of having to play without Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. - For this #ThrowbackThursday, we journey back to the year 2000, when "W" stood for more than just the Warriors and the Shaq-Kobe feud was nascent at best. Golden State had its own star, Antawn Jamison, who in his 3rd season would make a name for himself as one of the most formidable forwards in the game. - Finally, Aliko breaks down his NBA Christmas Day rankings.

122 - Anthony Davis' Future with Pelicans and NBA All-Star Roster Predictions / The NBA will open its All-Star voting on Dec. 21, which basically means the league is begging Andy and Dan to build a 24-player pool for February's showcase. - Though the Association has tweaked the rules, allowing for captains who select their teammates irrespective of conference affiliation, 12 players from both the East and West must still be up for consideration: two starting guards, three starting frontcourt members, two reserve guards, three reserve froncourt contributors and two wild-card picks. - Players will be selected based off their performance to date, which takes into account health, team success and recent hot or cold stretches. Some inclusions are no-brainers, but we'd be remiss if we didn't say there were some tough cuts. Do the Oklahoma City Thunder even deserve to have an All-Star? Can both the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets get three representatives? Has Andre Drummond done enough to usurp guys like Kristaps Porzingis and Joel Embiid? Who should join LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo in the East's starting frontcourt? - Before all this, though, we must address the one-eyebrowed pterodactyl in the room: Anthony Davis. - According to ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski, several NBA teams remain "obsessed" with poaching him from the New Orleans Pelicans—the Boston Celtics among them. Can anyone convince the Pellies to give up on him, or is this just noise? - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on Stitcher and BlogTalkRadio.

118 - NBA Quarter-Pole Report: Grading The Western Conference with Dan Clayton / Now that the 2017-18 NBA season has eked pasts its quarter-pole mark, rumor has it we're free to hand out report grades for every team. So, you know, let's do that! - Hardwood Knocks will begin with the Western Conference's jumble of craziness. And in order to properly ensure the hottest takes, Andy and Dan are calling upon Associated Editor of Salt City Hoops Dan Clayton (@danclayt0n) to join the party. - All 15 squads are covered—in random, speaker's choice order, we might add—so you needn't worry about us leaving anyone out. Among the most pressing questions, though: Have the Golden State Warriors tried hard enough so far to get an A? Are the Houston Rockets the NBA's most serious threat to the Warriors' reign? Are the Oklahoma City Thunder better than their sub-.500 record suggests? - How do we grade the league's most injury-ravaged squads, such as the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and Utah Jazz? Do the Minnesota Timberwolves deserve a passing grade? Are we prepared to give the Kawhi Leonard-less San Antonio Spurs an A? And what of the West's preeminent tank jobs from the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings? Are the Dallas Mavericks tanking hard enough? Are the New Orleans Pelicans surprisingly good or right where they need to be? - All this, plus much more, awaits you in Hardwood Knocks' latest. So grab your favorite beverage and flavor of Doritos, strap in and open your minds. Because the #takez, they are a coming! - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

But you're knocking on the door of the next best thing: Hardwood Knocks' first-ever mailbag! - To start things off, we take you around the NBA with some quick-hitting news items: Robert Covington is about to be very rich, the New York Knicks may have passed on George Hill to sign Tim Hardaway Jr., and Chicago will play host to its first All-Star Game since 1988, when a certain GOAT was named MVP, in 2020. - From there, we get to your questions. That's right you, our loyal listeners, are now shaping the discussion. - Will the Cleveland Cavaliers even win 50 games? Should they be considering Kevin Love trades? Which projected playoff teams are in danger of falling outside the bubble? Is Andre Drummond really the best free-throw shooter in NBA history? Is this Memphis Grizzlies bench for real? - Who deserves to be the frontrunner for Most Improved Player more: Aaron Gordon or Kristaps Porzingis? Should the Utah Jazz be looking to make a trade?

The Grizzlies look like a serious playoff team so far with impressive wins. Is their play sustainable? The Thunder are 4-4 entering play at Portland but look very good at times. Will they find a way to play together but let their star players still be themselves? The Timberwolves still have serious issues on defense it would seem. Are they going to be OK? The Clippers roster is losing a player to injury week by week. Can Blake handle the workload to keep them afloat without risking injury to himself? The Nuggets had a slow start but looked better in week 2. Will they make the progress they are hoping to make? The Warriors are the Warriors. But there are still interesting things upon which to focus. The Lakers and Suns are exceeding expectations in the win-loss column. What should we make of their play to this point in the season?

109 - Panic or Chill, Cavs and Warriors Edition: Are NBA's Coldest Starts Real? / Certain NBA players and teams
109 - Panic or Chill, Cavs and Warriors Edition: Are NBA's Coldest Starts Real? / Certain NBA players and teams always fall short of expectations to start the regular season. But a few select cases are more dire than others. - Take the Cleveland Cavaliers. They're sporting a bottom-five defense, lackluster offense, plenty of injuries and a protracted losing streak. Should we be concerned about their ability to dominate the Eastern Conference and reach a fourth straight NBA Finals, as expected? - How about the Golden State Warriors? Their typically stingy defense currently ranks inside the bottom 10 of points scored per 100 possessions. Is this something that could be an issue all season long? - Also, what about the Miami Heat? Are they ready to exit their two-way malaise now that Hassan Whiteside is back in the lineup? And then we have Harrison Barnes and John Wall, both of whom are shooting crummy percentages from the floor. Will they rebound in a big way from their current slump? - Ditto for Khris Middleton. He went off for 43 points and seven assists in the Milwaukee Bucks' loss to the Charlotte Hornets, but he's spent the rest of this year in an offensive fog. Has he played his way out of it? - To gauge the authenticity of these cold starts, among many others, Hardwood Knocks enlists the help of NBA Math's Founder and Editor in Chief, Adam Fromal (@fromal09), along with NBA Math's Technical Director, Arjun Baradwaj (@arjunebug21). - Please check your small-sample biases at the door.

102 - Another Season, Another NBA Title: 2017-18 Golden State Warriors Preview / No team in the NBA is built to go punch for punch with the Golden State Warriors. Not the Cleveland Cavaliers, not the Houston Rockets, not the Oklahoma City Thunder. The reigning champs remain in a league of their own, perfectly positioned to deliver an adequate encore to last year's 16-1 playoff romp. - Declaring the Warriors NBA champs in October isn't any fun, though. And that means we're in search of something, anything, anyone, any team, that can derail what is so obviously the best squad ever assembled. - To help figure out the impossible, Dan turned to Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes (@gthughes). He cannonballs into every possible pitfall and peril, however innocuous, facing the Warriors and decides what their biggest concern should ultimately be—insofar as they must be concerned at all. - Is it their turnovers? Surprising plainness in crunch time? Wonky three-point shooting from the Death Lineup? Championship complacency? Something else? And is there even a team that registers as a remote threat to their throne? - Because versatility is king, Dan and Grant also discuss whether Stephen Curry is more important to the Warriors than Kevin Durant; whether Klay Thompson has become underrated; whether Nick Young will ever see the floor; whether Draymond Green will win another Defensive Player of the Year award; and whether rookie Jordan Bell is set to become a rich man's Day-Day. - Durant's covert social media accounts may or may not have come up, too. - So click "play" now.

89 - Let the Kyrie Irving Era Begin: 2017-18 Boston Celtics Preview / Posting the best record in the East and earning a trip to the Conference Finals did not stop the Boston Celtics from wheeling and dealing over the offseason. - Team president Danny Ainge overhauled nearly two-thirds of the minutes represented from last year's squad to form a new-look faction built around Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward and Al Horford. The names are flashy, the roster well-stocked, but this reinvention came at the expense of key core members, including Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder, Kelly Olynyk and Isaiah Thomas. That makes it a gamble—a big one. - That the Celtics embraced this extensive shakeup at all suggests they're not done straddling two timelines. More than that, it implies they care far more about being the next-superpower-up, rather than the foremost threat to current juggernauts like the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers. - Indeed, the Celtics might still be that team. The Eastern Conference is a mess of sub-mediocrity below the Cavaliers, and they have the talent to run off 50-something wins without playing perfect basketball. But shifts of this magnitude take time to hash out. Ainge and Irving have already hinted this group won't jell together overnight, or even close to it. They'll labor through growing pains, perhaps struggling to match up with last year's 53-win performance. - Still, they haven't thrown in the towel on 2017-18. Again: They have the talent to compete with almost anyone. As for how long it takes for them to reach their ceiling, well, that's a topic for Vice Sports' Michael Pina (@MichaelVPina). - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

85 - Goodbye Kyrie: 2017-18 Cleveland Cavaliers Preview with Carter Rodríguez / The Cleveland Cavaliers are never uninteresting. - It doesn't matter whether they're getting hammered for not being as good as the Golden State Warriors or lauded for pulling off the greatest NBA Finals comeback ever in 2016. We never run out of things to discuss when it comes to LeBron James' teams. - This upcoming season is no different. In fact, it's more of the same...on steroids. The Cavaliers indulged Kyrie Irving's surprise trade request, sending him to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Jae Crowder, Isaiah Thomas, Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets' 2018 first-round pick. Though there have been mixed reactions to the Cavaliers' situation, the general consensus is this: They received a phenomenal return on Irving's departure and remain set up to blitz through the Eastern Conference. - Questions remain, though. - How will LeBron respond to Irving's exit? Might we see him go hard after his fifth MVP award? Or will he perhaps crack, ever so slightly, under an increased workload in his 15th season? - What will Kevin Love's role look like in the Cavaliers' offense this year? Will Thomas get healthy? How much of an impact will Crowder have? Can Cleveland trade Iman Shumpert already? Is Tristan Thompson still underated? Is the Carmelo Anthony-to-Cleveland dream dead or alive? - Carter Rodríguez of Fear The Sword and The Chase Down podcast joins Hardwood Knocks to wrap up the Irving trade, talk shop on the Cavaliers' 2017-18 outlook and figure out if they're now built to contend with the Warriors. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

84 - Paul George Isn't a Laker Yet: 2017-18 OKC Thunder Preview with Fred Katz / So much for the Oklahoma City Thunder's lack of flexibility. - Though they entered the summer barren of cap space and with very few trade assets, the Thunder somehow turned their restrictive position into the additions of Paul George, Patrick Patterson and Raymond Felton, morphing themselves into one of the NBA's most dangerous title contenders. - Sure, they still need to take the floor. Things could go sideways. Russell Westbrook and George could clash. The freshly re-signed Andre Roberson could keep bricking wide-open threes. Patterson's athroscopic procedure on his left knee could lead to a more sinister setback. Steven Adams could fail to recapture his pick-and-roll mojo. Jeremai Grant could stop hitting three-pointers. - Or, you know, everything could go down perfectly. - The Thunder, on paper, are built as well as anyone to contend with the Golden State Warriors. George and Westbrook just make sense together, and the signing of Patterson unlocks deadly small-ball combinations the Thunder didn't have at their disposal even when they called Serge Ibaka a friend. - The upshot: They don't have a lot of time to put things together. - George is a free agent next summer, and everyone thinks he's going to the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook will hit the open market as well if he doesn't sign an extension. The Thunder need to get their crazy train rolling, and fast, lest this squad become a one-year placeholder. - Will they be as good as their personnel suggests ? We turn to the Norman Transcript's Fred Katz (@FredKatz) for answers. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on Stitcher and BlogTalkRadio.

82 - CP3 + Harden = Look Out Dubs? Houston Rockets Preview with Eric Spyropoulos / Chris Paul is a member of the Houston Rockets. - Yes, that happened. No, you didn't dream it. It was a real thing that went down over the offseason. Paul and James Harden are starting in the same backcourt. The Rockets have 55-plus wins written all over them. They have overtaken the San Antonio Spurs, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the new-look Oklahoma City Thunder, as the biggest threat to the Golden State Warriors. - Or have they? - Superstar formations take time to jell. Harden and Paul should be no different. There will be a learning curve, perhaps a steep one. But the fact that Paul and Harden wanted this matters. It means both of them should be willing to make the necessary concessions. At the very least, after opting in and delaying a long-term payday, Paul should be ready to do whatever it takes to thrive alongside Harden. - Mix in the returns of Nene, Eric Gordon, Trevor Ariza and Clint Capela, along with the additions of Luc Mbah a Moute and P.J. Tucker, and it's hard not to see the Rockets as a budding superpower. And that's before even considering Ryan Anderson—or, if general manager Daryl Morey gets his way, Carmelo Anthony. - These Rockets, on paper, are built to play any sort of style, not unlike the Warriors...right down to the ceiling on a knockoff Death Lineup that features Paul, Harden, Ariza, Mbah a Moute and Tucker. And yet, can we really call them the second-best squad in the NBA, or even the Western Conference? NBA Math's own Eric Spyropoulos (@EricSpyrosNBA) joins us to make sense of Houston's lavish makeup. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.
