You are Locked-on Warriors, your daily Golden State Warriors podcast.

I am Daniel Rue, your host, and so happy to bring you your team every day.

This is a combination podcast partially because of necessity, because there are a couple

of different things we need to tackle, but also just because of opportunity.

So the first part of the show is a conversation with Jeff Garcia, who is the host of

Locked on Spurs, since the Warriors opener is against the Spurs at Oracle. And then the second part

is kind of the prediction stuff that I didn't really get through in the email bag. And so what I

think the Warriors are going to do in terms of wins and losses this year,

a really rudimentary playoff prediction and things like that.

And a little bit of kind of speculation in those sort of realms.

So you should definitely listen to both parts, and I think it'll be a lot of fun,

really looking forward to the season.

It is game time. Today, the Spurs and the Warriors tip off their regular season

as the Spurs will visit the Golden State Warriors in Oakland as a clash of two Western Conference

Titans is about to begin. And Danny, the NBA schedule makers really, really know how to stick it to fans,

don't they? What this game to start off the NBA season? Well, really know how to stick it to fans, don't they?

What this game to start off the NBA season?

Well, I mean, they want to have a loaded opening night, which is also funny because they put Cleveland, New York, which I don't think is going to be very good.

So they put a nice capper on it.
