Summary

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. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	Greetings Hoopsheads. Welcome to Lockedon Warriors, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network. It's Tuesday, April 3rd. I'm your host, Aliko Carter. Good show today. We've got the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight at 5 p.m. should be a great test for the Warriors who are coming off two wins over lesser
0:39.6	opponents and it's really important if the Warriors are going to get to 60 they've got
0:45.0	chances to do it they can only lose one more game but I'd love to see them run the table
0:50.0	and end up with 61 wins it's a mark of excellence right there.
0:55.1	Also just want to see the Warriors play their best basketball going into the playoffs,
1:01.2	even without Stefan Curry.
1:02.7	That means KD continuing to be a facilitator and get his get to the line.
1:08.6	Dremont continuing to stuff the stat sheet and do everything.
1:11.6	He does defensively, obviously not the defensive player that he was last year or the year
1:16.6	before this year, but it's what he's capable of doing.
1:20.9	I mean, the man is barely or nearly 27 years old.
1:24.4	He's got so many more miles left in him, And he's going to turn it on in the playoffs.
1:31.7	I think with the Warriors knowing that they're going to try to make the playoffs and get to the
1:37.6	finals every single year, we're not going to see that excellence in the regular season as much.
1:45.4	It's just not a thing that is sustainable.
1:49.2	Plenty of other things to talk about the Warriors.
1:52.4	We're going to take a look at two teams who might play the Warriors.
1:56.0	In the first round of the playoffs,
1:58.6	one of those teams is the Minnesota Timberwolves, who will be the subject
2:02.8	of our second segment. The Timberwolves have played the Warriors well. And then the third
2:08.5	segment will take a look at the New Orleans Pelicans, who are currently in 8th, Minnesota, and
2:13.3	7th, lost their last four and losers of six out of their last 10.
