And welcome to Light Years.

Appreciate everyone's patience, working through some technical difficulties.

If it's not bad enough, one of us had technical difficulties.

Both of us did the same time.

So that is why we're going a little later tonight.

But we are recording right now.

Now it's like 20 minutes after the game, but after the Warriors,

122-125 loss to the Portland Trailblazers. Andy Lou, put aside the tech difficulties.

How you feel in it, man? This is how I feel. You see that right there? That's how I feel, Samuel. That's how I feel.

First off, you can hear me, right? No, like, I'm good. I'm good. That was not the worst loss of the

season, but each time they lose the exact same way, it becomes the most frustrating loss of the season.

So Sam, this loss, right now, the most frustrating loss of the season, because they

are losing the exact same way and they are not learning from it.

You know what's interesting?

I kind of feel, I don't want to say I feel the opposite way, but this game gave me a little

optimism as we're sitting here 14 hours before the trade deadline. Most of you will be listening

to this within hours of the trade deadline, yeah, 6 a.m., 8 a.m., you know, for the old men like me, maybe more 6 a.m., for the Andy guys,

it's more like 10 a.m. But anyway, the point is, I saw a team that I think can compete

but needs a little help. That's how I took tonight's game.

I don't think I saw anything against Portland that made me think this team.

To me, I see a team who can win the West if they get a little bit of help.

That's the way I'm looking at it.
