Summary

The Athletic’s Anthony Slater is our guest to discuss Golden State’s title defense. What are some of the big themes going into this season? Will the young triumvirate of Moses Moody, James Wiseman, and Jonathan Kuminga contribute? How could the extension negotiations with Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, and Jordan Poole impact the team? How does the competition in the West shape up? How long can Steph Curry stay at this level? And is Golden State the favorite to repeat as NBA champions? Then, the long-awaited debut of Caitlin Cooper of Indy Cornrows to discuss the Pacers' upcoming season. How can Tyrese Haliburton take the next step, and is he THE foundational piece for Indiana? What role will Bennedict Mathurin play in his first season? How are they going to guard anyone on the perimeter? What type of defensive scheme does she expect Indiana to play? We also hit on potential breakout and regression candidates, playing time and lineup issues, key questions for success this year, and give our predictions for the season.

0:00.0	While we're bringing in the big guns now, I guess both of them figuratively.
0:04.8	First there's the sweatshirt hoodie with the no sleeves that all one Anthony Slater is
0:11.9	is wearing right now, but even better metaphor would be the big guns to bring out one of the NBA's
0:18.3	best beatwriters to talk Golden State Warriors. Looking good, looking tan, just got back for Mexico,
0:23.5	how's it going? I was told there would be no video on this podcast, but... Well, there is no video,
0:29.4	there's just me describing the Slater guns and all their glory. I mean, it's only enhanced by
0:36.0	the hood on the sweatshirt. It's deep off season. You can take a couple trips to tropical locations,
0:41.3	you can go to the gym on a more consistent basis. This should be the time of the year where I'm
0:46.9	feeling best because mid-winter after covering two East Coast road trips, not as good. Yeah, that's
0:53.1	true. That would not as not an appropriate outfit for Detroit in February. What's your... Before we
1:00.2	get started here, is Orlando like good enough now that they got the number one pick to not be your
1:05.5	default bullshit game in February, descriptor team, or do you... We're gonna have a new team now,
1:12.7	or is it still gonna be Orlando? It's Orlando until the Jostrate, everybody. Then maybe it can be Utah.
1:19.0	Although covering the West Coast, you usually have to pick an Eastern Conference team, right? It's
1:23.4	more like outposts. I think so, yeah. I think Orlando still holds it. It just feels like the right
1:29.2	team to I guess tag. I think it's Indiana this year probably. Yeah. Just because it's cold,
1:36.4	they're so like Orlando, at least it's warm. You probably look forward to... Well, you're always
1:40.5	going to Miami right after, which is always nice, or before. Yeah. Yeah. All right, well, let's get
1:45.9	started here. I guess teams like this that we're just so familiar with that are just coming off
1:51.2	the finals. It's really... It's tough to kind of come up with something to talk about, particularly
1:56.7	for the upcoming regular season. I'll leave it a little bit more open to you of just what you think
2:03.5	some of the big themes are for this upcoming Warrior season. I think it is about the next stage
