0:00.0	Happy Monday, everybody. I'm being facetious saying that, Mondays are the absolute worst. I hope I can make it a little bit better on today's show.
0:10.1	First of all, we might have three live shows today. Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle is going to join me tonight at 7 p.m. Pacific time. I hope to have them on for two segments.
0:22.0	And then we're doing the show right now. What are we talking about on today's episode?
0:26.5	Defense. More specifically, individual defense on the Golden State Warriors.
0:31.4	There is one measure that stands above the rest. The most accurate measurement of an NBA player's defense, which provides
0:41.0	the most efficacy, are matchup statistics. The NBA keeps track of that. They actually monitor and
0:50.0	track how individuals do when they're matched up with someone else. And the data I'm going to
0:57.8	provide for you today is how each individual Warriors player does defending opponents individually.
1:05.3	It's easily the most accurate barometer for who is the best defender and the worst defender on your team. It's also
1:13.0	one of the only statistics that can accurately paint a picture of how a player is doing on
1:19.2	defense. Otherwise, it's the eye test and individual stats like steals, blocks, but even those
1:26.5	don't necessarily represent the impact
1:28.6	of players having. So we're going to talk about who is giving up shooting on this Warriors roster.
1:34.4	And then we're going to be back at this again tonight with Sam, hopefully going for a whole hour.
1:38.6	I've got to touch on the NBA playoffs for a little bit, just because at least from my perspective,
1:45.9	the NBA finals are happening right now. I'll explain what I mean next. Should be a good time. I hope this is Locked-on Warriors.
1:51.7	You are Locked-on Warriors. Your daily Golden State Warriors podcast, part of the Locked-on
1:58.3	podcast network. Your team every day.
