You are Locked on Warriors, your daily Golden State Warriors podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day.

Greetings, Hoop's Heads, welcome to another episode of Locked-on Warriors, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network.

I'm your host, Aliko Carter. Thanks for tuning in.

Great game last night against the heat. Third quarters are back. It's very exciting. Nice 29 point win there.

But before we get into that, I got to promote myself a little bit. You can find my work on Forbes.com and BleacherReport.com.

You can also email me at Alico Carter 11 at gmail.com and tweet me at Kojitare, K-O-G-I-T-A-R-E.

Means to think in Latin. Stay thoughtful, y'all.

For my new listeners out there, I want to explain

myself a little bit. I am a huge, huge Warriors fan for the past 20 plus years. I grew up in a Bay

area in Oakland. And it's my dream to be able to just talk about the Warriors all day. So thanks for tuning in and by all means get in touch with me with your opinions, your thoughts,

any questions or subjects you'd want me to discuss in this podcast.

So today I want to talk about the heat game, talk about third quarters, and how they're back, baby, and preview the game

in New Orleans against the Pelicans in the first segment.

In the second segment, I want to talk about Kevin Durant.

I haven't spent a lot of time talking about KD in this pod, but he is still quietly, one of the most amazing, efficient, and

defensively skilled players in the league. And he's flying under the radar this year, as are

all of the Warriors, but KD to an exceptional extent.

I think we've gotten used to seeing him in a Warriors uniform.

And in the third segment, I want to talk about refereeing.

Sean Livingston was ejected last night.

The ref was getting in his face, and I want to discuss how the refs are treating the Warriors this year.

So let's begin with the Heat Game, and I'll start in the third quarter. how the refs are treating the Warriors this year.
