This might be the shortest, most succinct podcast we'll ever put out because that game was easily the most boring game of the year. Patrick reflects on the experience of watching the Warriors lose with a really poor effort to the Phoenix Suns.

The two most scrutinized Warriors showed up and showed out. Two days after losing his starting spot to Kevon Looney, James Wiseman revealed a newfound comfort on the court against the bottom-feeding Minnesota Timberwolves. Maybe the game is finally starting to slow down for the rookie? Plus, after a couple days of New Orleans Pelicans trade rumors, Kelly Oubre Jr. gets super aggressive all over the court. Now, if he could only play like that every night...

Patrick breaks down his observations on the Warriors' win against the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves after the somewhat surprising move of replacing James Wiseman in the starting lineup with Kevon Looney. But it worked! The two teams play again in San Francisco in a couple days, so we'll see if that success continues.

Adam Silver is open to potentially two NBA expansion teams, but which cities actually deserve a shiny new franchise? Patrick is joined by Vu-Bang, a long-time City Planner by trade, to talk about his two passions, city planning and basketball: (00:23) why Silver is considering expansion now? (4:43) criteria for being awarded a new team, (8:14) Seattle, (10:23) other cities that could be in contention, (16:00) league-wide benefits to adding teams, (17:08) current NBA cities that do NOT deserve their team, (21:01) will expansion dilute NBA talent?

Patrick breaks down his observations on the Warriors' 2nd straight poor showing, this time against the Utah Jazz. Once again the starting lineup struggles badly. What's Kelly Oubre Jr.'s future with the Warriors? Plus, Steph Curry passes Reggie Miller for 2nd in all-time 3-pointers made, while Nico Mannion hits his first two of his promising young career. Lastly, James Wiseman's ability to score with either hand is a good sign of things to come.

Patrick offers his quick observations on the Warriors' disappointingly listless loss to the New York Knicks, including the absurdity of Draymond Green getting ejected for yelling at James Wiseman. (His own teammate?!!) The squad couldn't muster up any sustained fight in a game they could have used to pad their record. Honestly, they should probably toss this one in the circular file.

James Wiseman shook off his worst game of the season to have one of his best as the Warriors beat a team they probably should beat, the San Antonio Spurs. Steph Curry and Draymond Green are starting to connect with Wiseman on lobs. If they perfect this, it'll open up a whole lot of problems for the rest of the league. Also, as much as they're for placating the old school East Bay masses, those Oakland Forever uniforms don't actually look half bad. oaklandwarriors.com twitter.com/OaklandWarriors twitter.com/PatrickEpino

Patrick drops some quick observations after the Warriors come back from 19 points down to beat the Los Angeles Lakers. James Wiseman had his worst game in quite some time, but Kelly Oubre Jr. looked totally comfortable with the 2nd unit and Eric Paschall continued to do what he does best: get buckets. Resilient effort overall -- especially from that bench unit. And yes, we're seeing some progress. Happy MLK Day! oaklandwarriors.com twitter.com/OaklandWarriors twitter.com/PatrickEpino

Patrick is again joined by Vu-Bang to talk (00:13) the James Harden trade and the upcoming strange Nets dynamic with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, (10:40) the Warriors' winning the Andrew Wiggins + 2021 Minnesota 1st round pick for D'Angelo Russell trade, (12:12) aspirations for that lightly protected Timberwolves' draft pick, (17:14) breaking down Wiggins vs Harrison Barnes, (20:40) revisiting the DLo-KD trade that also indirectly led to James Wiseman, and (24:20) debating whether or not Bob Myers is a good GM.

The Warriors lose a sloppy, forgettable game to the Denver Nuggets. This one was all over the place as no one really brought their A-game. Steph Curry and Draymond Green had a ton of turnovers and in general this was the squad's poorest effort since the first two blowout losses to start the season. Steph needs some help out there and James Wiseman is the most likely candidate. Can the rookie get there this season? Patrick breaks down his observations.

The Warriors lost a game they probably should have won. But that's a good sign right? That means the expectations are gradually rising. Andrew Wiggins, Kelly Oubre, Damion Lee were hitting shots -- until they couldn't anymore. Gimmicky defenses on Steph Curry are going to continue until the supporting cast consistently offers a scoring threat. Also, now that the rest of the team has gotten acclimated to each other and the pace of the season, James Wiseman's rookie rawness is starting to show. oaklandwarriors.com twitter.com/OaklandWarriors twitter.com/PatrickEpino

Patrick is joined by Vu-Bang once again to talk about (00:21) Golden State Warriors' rookie James Wiseman's ceiling as well as his Rookie of the Year chances. They also discuss (14:13) the return of Draymond Green and whether or not his career is Hall of Fame worthy. oaklandwarriors.com twitter.com/OaklandWarriors twitter.com/PatrickEpino

Patrick is once again joined by his old friend Aram Collier, a Golden State Warriors fan "stuck" in Toronto, to talk about the Warriors victory against the Raptors. On a night when Stephen Curry couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, his teammates stepped up and held on until the final buzzer sounded. Patrick and Aram talk: Andrew Wiggins newfound consistency, the emergence of a confident bench, James Wiseman sitting out the 4th quarter, Draymond Green's subtle excellence, and so much more.

Patrick talks the Golden State Warriors' stirring 22-point comeback win against the Los Angeles Clippers. Stephen Curry is tough as nails and single-handedly kept the Warriors in the game until his teammates finally started hitting shots. Hopefully, Steph's undying belief in himself that helped will this win spreads to some of the younger guys on the team. This was obviously the Warriors' best win of the young season so far.

Hours after an attempted coup went down in our nation's capital, the Golden State Warriors lost a basketball game to the Los Angeles Clippers. Patrick breaks down his observations including James Wiseman's iffy decisions, Eric Paschall's knack for playing small-ball center, and the overall sluggishness of the evening. It wasn't pretty, but maybe they take a mulligan and see what they can do in the their rematch with the Clips on Friday.
