Warriors All 82 returns for another season of W's hoops and Anthony, Tim and Ethan break down the Nets dominating 125-99 win in the NBA Season Opener. The Nets came out on fire in the first and the Warriors defense had no chance to slow them down. They had chances to cut into the lead, but Wiggins and Paschall struggled. Steph struggled as well, but he looked like his old self out there on the court. The 1 big bright spot was the play of #2 overall pick James Wiseman. He played 24 mins in his first NBA game and finished with 19 pts and 6 rebounds. He made some rookie mistakes, but was very impressive for his first real game in almost a year when he was at Memphis. Steve Kerr said after the game that his rotations weren't set and he will reward players who are playing better. So the guys debate who should be getting more minutes and what will be the plan when Draymond is back in the lineup.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

It was a strange atmosphere at Chase Center for preseason game #1. They talk about what they saw from some of the new Warriors and some of the bench guys who are fighting for playing time and roster spots. Wanamaker and Oubre really impressed the guys with their play on both sides of the ball. The energy and effort just seemed different then it did last year. The defense looked much improved in the first game and hopefully that will get even better when Draymond and Wiseman can get back on the floor.
