Summary
On today's show, Ben Golliver and Rob Mahoney consider the Golden State Warriors' slow start. Do their early struggles require a reputation revision for Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Steve Kerr? Is there any hope for their putrid defense? Should they consider trading D'Angelo Russell or Draymond Green? Should they tank? Then, Ben and Rob shift gears to answer questions from the Open Floor Globe on Trae Young's All-Star chances, the Phoenix Suns' sudden competence, Dwight Howard's promising first week and Deandre Ayton's 25-game suspension.

| 0:41.1 | I think it's mostly I've been staring at screens and watching games in person and I'm |
| 0:44.8 | getting a little blirriot. |
| 0:46.5 | Well spoken like a man who's probably seen a little bit too much of the Warriors and |
