Just Us: A Golden State Warriors Podcast

After an exciting unlikely win against the Suns, Dubnation was hoping that the Warriors could put on another surprising upset against the Lakers. Without Jimmy and Steph, bench players graduated to the starting lineup, but they weren't able to get another for the win column. The loss was primarily due to struggles with offense, particularly the three-point shots, which meant the team couldn't stay in the game in the second half. A few layups were also missed, which added up and, unfortunately, the fouls set the tone for the second half, giving the Lakers plenty of shots from the free throw line. There were a couple of bright spots: Pat Spencer put on a great performance in his first game since being converted to a full NBA contract. Moody had a double digit scoring performance.

It's been a rollercoaster of emotions for the Warriors team and Dubnation, with trades happening and a showdown agains the Phoenix Suns immediately following.  The Warriors managed to pull of a gutsy win against the Suns after rallying in the second half. Leading the charge was Gui Santos, who had one of his best games this season. Pat Spencer also reached a career high, with Melton, Horford, Moody, and Richard ensuring the intensity was kept up and the defense remained solid.  Of course, the trade deadline passed and the Warriors said goodbye to Kuminga, Buddy, and TJD. The organization added a seven-foot center in Kristaps Porzingas, who could move the needle provided he manages to actually take the floor consistently.  Give us a like and hit the subscribe button to make sure you get every new episode as it's released.

Steph Curry sat out the game against the 76ers and, like the rest of Dub Nation, had to watch his team get blown out in what can only be described as a tragic performance. The energy was bad and it showed in the stats, with the Warriors setting a record low for 2-point attempts and free throws. It's hard to highlight anything positive about the performance as it was clear from the get-go that things were very off. Passing was sloppy, shooting was inconsistent, and the team struggled to get into the paint for layups.  Things aren't looking very positive for the Warriors currently, which leaves all eyes fixed on the trade deadline.

The Pistons are the No.1 team in the East and, although the Warriors fought hard, they were able to beat the Warriors pretty handily. That's not to say it was a steamrolling, as the Warriors came back in the second half with a competitive fire and almost made a comeback. Naturally, Steph Curry was a big part of that, despite not having a great three-point shooting night--that reliability came from Draymond Green. The bench, including Buddy, Gui, Pat, helped move the ball and get stops, then quickly moved into transition to capitalize. The Warriors scored 60 points in the second half, but the hole they dug themselves was too much to climb out of. Also relevant this episode is the ongoing trade rumors surrounding Jimmy Butler.

To finish up the roadtrip the Warriors headed to Utah to take on the Jazz. This was a high-energy game where both the Dubs and the Jazz were focused on transition buckets. The team were being liberal with three-pointers and multiple people made them but, naturally, the most consistent player making threes was Steph Curry, who was moving well after missing the last game. If there was any question about whether De'Anthony Melton is back to full strength, you only need to watch his defensive performance and constant drives to the rim to see he's feeling good. Buddy started to look like the Buddy we know, love, and want more consistently by being careful about turnovers and taking better shots. Draymond also locked up Markkanen, limiting his points and his defensive effort was complimented by Al Horford's efforts too. Let's break it all down!

The Warriors took on the Timberwolves for the second time in a row and, this time, it was the Dubs on the receiving end of the blowout. Without Steph, Draymond, Horford, Melton, and Jimmy, the squad wasn't able to stand their ground against a bigger Timberwolves team. Although the team played hard and stayed in the game in the first quarter, the lack of shot-making meant that, when the Timberwolves started pulling away, the hole just got deeper and deeper. Of the many issues, Buddy's performance stood out as particularly poor for a player that specializes in three-point shooting. Let's break it all down!

The Warriors took on the Timberwolves, the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last season, and things went very differently this time. Although Curry started off as being questionable due to a knee issue, he took the court and showed off he's as efficient as ever, scoring 26 points in 25 mins. The usual suspects from the excellent bench squad provided a strong backbone for the team, with Moody contributing 19 points overall, with his scoring flurry beginning in the first quarter to give the Warriors an early leg up.  Al Horford's five rebounds and two assists, along with Draymond's five rebounds and assists set the defensive tone, with the rest of the team following their lead, delivering a high-energy, physical resistance to the Timberwolves.

Although it was a historic night for Stephen Curry, who passed 10,000 threes, it was ultimately a frustrating one for the team as a whole as they take their second loss in a row since the loss of Jimmy Butler, this time to the Dallas Mavericks.  Although the Warriors were leading midway through the 4th quarter, an untimely and questionabler flagrant foul call on Draymond Green instigated a downwards spiral that ultimately meant the Warriors couldn't hold on to the lead. With the game running away from them, the numerous missed layups up until that point made all the difference. The big story, however, was an ankle and knee injury for Kuminga, who was the one lifeline Dubnation was looking to in the post-Butler world. His status going forward is questionable.  Let's break it all down! Why not give us a like and hit the subscribe button to make sure you get every new episode as it's released.

The Toronto Raptors came to Chase desperate for a win, having lost to both the Lakers and Clippers. Their hunger translated to giving the Golden State Warriors their toughest loss of the season so far, as the Dubs faced the new normal without Jimmy Butler.  Unfortunately, a tragic ACL injury has ruled out Jimmy for the remainder of the season, calling into question what the Warriors are capable of now, and whether Jimmy will wear a Dubs jersey again.  The big story for the Warriors, and a small light in a very dark tunnel, was the return of Jonathan Kuminga. In his first game since December 18, Kuminga provided a massive spark off the bench, scoring 20 points in just 21 minutes. Although the Warriors were down by as much as 30 at one stage, Kuminga's 12-point third-quarter explosion briefly brought the Warriors back into the mix. With Jimmy Butler now out for the season with a torn ACL, the Warriors' trade deadline plans for Kuminga have suddenly become the most interesting storyline in the NBA. Let's break it down!

The Golden State Warriors pulled off a big win tonight against the Miami Heat at the Chase Center. Steph Curry dished 11 assists and Brandin Podziemski led scoring off the bench, but the story of the night was Jimmy Butler's scary knee injury in the 3rd quarter.  Butler was playing great—scoring 17 points before going down awkwardly after catching a pass. He immediately grabbed his right knee and had to be helped off the court, unable to put any weight on it. The team later ruled him out for the remainder of the game, and an MRI is expected to determine the severity. The injury overshadowed what was otherwise a highly competitive matchup between two playoff-tested teams. Butler's absence was clearly felt, but the Warriors capitalized on being motivated by the loss and closed the game with poise and confidence. Let's break it down!

The Warriors played host to the Hornets at Chase as the homestand continues and, thankfully, the winning streak remained unbroken. Although the Hornets aren't doing particularly well, they were coming off a victory agains the Lakers, giving them a much-needed confidence boost that made them potentially deadly. However, the Warriors continued its trend of solid play on defense, that's converted to good efforts and execution on offense. Although Steph Curry looks to be firmly in the midst of a mid-season slump, he still contributed. Jimmy Butler was unexpectedly out of the game, but that didn't knock the Dubs off their game, as De'Anthony Melton delivered another electrifying performance, and Buddy Heild, Draymond, Podz, Moody, and Will Richard stepped up on both ends.  Let's break it down!

The Warriors faced their toughest challenge yet on the homestand by going up against the visiting New York Knicks, who were second in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks have since dropped down to third behind the Cletics after being defeated by the Dubs. What started off with the worrying return of turnovers quickly stabalized thanks to consistent three-point shooting from Moses Moody and another excellent effort from Jimmy Butler. Although Steph Curry had a rough first half, his shooting returned to form in the second. Off the bench Melton continued to be a rocks-teady foundation for defense. Together, the team managed to secure a win against a challenging team. Let's break it down!

The Warriors were due a feel-good win and that's exactly what they got when the Portland Trailblazers entered Chase Arena. Although Steph's three-point shooting wasn't as deadly as it usually is, the superstar still managed to contribute in essential ways. The support, however, came from multiple other players that, together, paved the way for a blowout win. Join us as we talk about the ongoing superb performance from Melton; Jimmy's reliable and dynamic shot-creating and shot-making, and valuable contributions from Podz, Moody, and more.  Why not give us a like and hit the subscribe button to make sure you get every new episode as it's released.

The goal: Win all the upcoming home games to put the Warriors in a stronger position in the standings. After two wins in a row, the Warriors took on the Atlanta Hawks and were thoroughly outplayed by a team that, on paper, they should beat. However, after trading Trae Young, the new talent showed they are a much better team than most would think. Whily Curry, Butler, and Melton put on great performances, the lack of any major offense threat meant that their efforts were unfortunately in vain.  Why not give us a like and hit the subscribe button to make sure you get every new episode as it's released.

After a heartbreaker against the Clippers, the Warriors returned home to take on the Bucks and begin an eight game homestand that could have a big impact on the team's standings. Giannis had a big game but Steph struck back with a monster performance of his own. Joining Steph were Melton and Horford, who both came off the bench to be major contributors, with the former making threes in critical moments and the latter delivering rebound after rebound. Join us to recap a mercifully uneventful win against the Bucks. Draymond also played a key role in ensuring the defense was rock solid.

The Warriors lost to the Clippers by one point in a game that continued the trend of awful officiating by NBA refs against the Warriors. A clear goaltend as well as a call on continuation resulted in Steve Kerr being ejected. While the Warriors played exceptionally well, the team's shooting woes kept them from running away with the game. And while they remained competitive, they weren't able to secure a victory that would have been comfortably earned if the refs had made correct calls. On this solo episode, Tamoor talks through each quarter of a frustrating and disappointing loss.

It will come as no shock that the Warriors' game against Jazz featured Draymond Green getting multiple technicals and being ejected. What may surprise you, however, is that Draymon's anger was arguably justified, even if his actions weren't the smartest. Despite the early-game ejection of the Warriors' defensive mastermind, the team managed to secure a victory in large part due to extra effort from Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler III. The Jazz, clearly having studied the tape on individual players as well as how the Warriors play collectively, put up a good fight and, at various points, looked poised to take the lead and win. Thankfully, solid play from a variety of players maintained control. In this episode we break down what happened, with attention given to standout players like GP2 and Podz, as well as Melton. We also talk about what the Warriors need to do in the upcoming trade window to improve their outlook.

The first game of 2026 for the Golden State Warriors was agains the reigning champions the OKC Thunder and minutes before the game any hopes of a surprise victory were dashed as the Dubs revealed all their key starters would not be playing. Without Steph, Jimmy, and Draymond, as well as Melton, the bench had a lot to shoulder and, expectedly, they weren't ablle to carry the team to an upset. The Warriors were blown out by OKC, despite a decent start. The bigger point of discussion on this epsiode, however, is a quote from Steve Kerr about the Warriors place within the current league and the teams chances against the likes of OKC and Spurs. Let's just say it wasn't confidence-building in any way. Why not give us a like and hit the subscribe button to make sure you get every new episode as it's released.

The Golden State Warriors closed out the year with a win against the Charlotte Hornets, finishing its three-game roadtrip with two wins and one loss. Although the game against the Hornets wasn't exactly smooth sailing, the trend of the Dubs showing incrimental improvements continued with tighter play and overall better shooting. The team went up against the same challenges in turnovers, Steph being doubled, and being picked up with pressure at full court, and seem to show that they're making some progress in sealing up those weaknesses. It wasn't an examplary performance, but it was heartening enough. This, in large part, was thanks to solid play from Steph, Podz, Jimmy, and Gui anchoring the team, with great contributions from other members of the squad. Let's break it down and discuss how they're looking going into the game against OKC. Why not give us a like and hit the subscribe button to make sure you get every new episode as it's released.

After a frustrating loss to the Raptors the Warriors took on the Brooklyn Nets on the second part of a back-to-back. Despite playing hard the night before, Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler III took to the court and put on an excellent performance, leading the Dubs to a win. That win, however, was just as much a result of solid play from TJD, Gui Santos, Pat Spencer, BP, Will Richard, and DeAnthony Melton, who made sure to hustle and do their best to maintain some control over the game. It wasn't all smooth sailing though, as some old habits refuse to die hard. Why not give us a like and hit the subscribe button to make sure you get every new episode as it's released.
