- NBA Top 50 Player & Hall of Famer Rick Barry, and award winning journalist Cyrus Saatsaz, critically analyze the Defending World Champion Golden State Warriors at the 30 game mark of the regular season following the team's mediocre start to the season that sees them two games below .500 and owning the worst road record in the NBA, with Rick & Cy pleading for the youngsters to play, discussing the possibility of Klay Thompson going to the bench and wondering why Bob Myers had a contract that expires after this year.

I feel lucky to be able to listen to a legend talk the game without being forced into 60 second segments on regular tv.
Cyrus thanks for all the entertainment you provide your love for basketball and the warriors is something I look forward to
1) Offensive Rebounding - OB is all about hustle and desire, most times Dub players head for other side of court when a shot goes up and often no Dub player is trying to get an OB, there are so many put back opportunities, an OB is another shot at the basket and if made is demoralizing to the opponent, 2) Defensive Rebounding - BOX OUT, not everyone does this, and it gives the opponent another shot, 3) Screens - rarely do Dub players hold their screen, they back away instead of actually screening the defensive player. Rick has a fundamental player mindset and I would believe he agrees. In last year's finals, Dubs were much better on the offensive boards and was a major reason for winning the series. These are fundamentals we learn in high school.
The fact they you guys don't have more subscribers tells that a lot people don't like to heard the truth. I hope the shows gets bigger!
The Warriors don't feed the hot players like they use to. It's seems like these players want to be part of the fun so they start shooting instead of feeding the hot player. Based on what's happening, the bench players that the Warriors loss were really important. Rick is so right, the bench players can't stay focused ... and some of the starters are having issues too.
The possible silver lining here is that now with Steph out everyone has to step up and stay focused and they KNOW that. I think the whole team leans on Steph a little bit like a crutch. If the whole team improves without him it could be beneficia, also, other teams may let their guard down knowing Steph''s out so they won't be getting everyone's best night after night. OR the whole season could go down the shitter.
Rick, you know it all starts with defense! We have to stay focused and play consistently like we did against Boston. I also think Jordan Poole is too frantic on the court. I really hope JP keeps slowing his pace down a bit and starts being more efficient. I agree with you-“it’s time to get focused and step up!” All the time! Every game!
RB was so good in the ABA and early on in the NBA. Dominant.
