| 0:00.0 | This is an IHeart podcast. |
| 0:13.2 | Number three, this is a bad defense. |
| 0:17.2 | Like, just really bad. |
| 0:18.5 | Top three, or bottom three defense in the league. Top three worst. Only the Rockets, Pistons, and Spurs have a worse defense than the Golden State Warriors right now. I don't know if it's because of Gary Payton not being there. Maybe because Clay isn't mobile right now as he's getting back into things. He's a big two-way defender for them. Andrew Wiggins can't do it all, but they are |
| 0:38.9 | fucking horrible, like horrible. Defense currently ranked 27th in the NBA. |
| 0:44.9 | 11.1. After being second in the league, at one point in another number one in the league, |

| 1:18.9 | This is just a terrible defense, just in every way. |
| 1:21.4 | Like top to bottom, just trash. |
| 1:24.7 | And I think some of this is obviously because those good defenders are missing, |
| 1:27.9 | but the returning players aren't as good as they were last year either. |
| 1:30.7 | Clay's not good. |
| 1:31.9 | Looney's not good. |
| 1:33.1 | Jordan Poole is never good. |
| 1:34.5 | Draymond Green is playing okay, but not nearly to the elite level that they need them to. |
