I've just kind of run through your background as the host of Lockdown Warriors and, of course,

a writer with the Sporting News, host with Real GM Radio.

And, you know, the Warriors and Rockets have had some big playoff series the last two years.

Of course, the Warriors have won eight to ten games, but they shouldn't be real rivals going into this year, given that the Warriors are probably a 70-plus-win team again.

So I want to start off with a question less about the Rockets and more about the Warriors in general.
