Golden State With Mates – Details, episodes & analysis

The Golden State Warriors sunk to their fifth-straight defeat on Tuesday night, falling 119-115 to the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena in their final NBA Cup group game.

Late-game offense was again the issue for the Warriors, having led by 11 with just over six minutes remaining. Plenty of storylines to discuss from the four-point defeat -- Stephen Curry's new rotation, the performances of Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, where Golden State's next win comes from, and the urgency for a trade in the coming weeks!

On part two of today's podcast, we look at the last trade intel from Michael Scotto of HoopsHype who delivers plenty on the Golden State Warriors and potential targets.

More on Jonathan Kuminga's failed contract extension, the latest on Moses Moody, Kevon Looney and Gary Payton II, plus a run down of every player who the Warriors may have interest in!

The Golden State Warriors will host the Atlanta Hawks at Chase Center on Wednesday, with a potentially fascinating battle between one of the game’s all-time greats and the NBA’s latest defensive star.

Beyond the Warriors vs. Hawks preview, is Golden State facing an all too familiar issue with their young players, and should they have any interest in a deal with the Brooklyn Nets for one of their available pieces?

The Warriors have suffered their sixth defeat in the last nine games, going down in a tight one to the Timberwolves in Minnesota. Stephen Curry's minutes (or lack thereof) proved a major talking point, but perhaps it's time to be less concerned with the results and open our eyes to the other advantages sport can bring us.

The Warriors' starters were blatantly outplayed by the Knicks on Monday night, with the onus put on three players who will need to lift against the Grizzlies on Wednesday. Having been outscored by 20 points in 11 minutes against New York, do Golden State need another starting lineup change and if so, what's the move to make?

After a slow start in his return from a three-game absence, Stephen Curry stepped up and led the way with 31 points in the Warriors' 128-121 win over the Lakers on Saturday night. All the takeaways from the much needed victory, including Steve Kerr's urgency showcased in a shortened rotation.

After a slow start the Warriors powered to a 10-point win over the Spurs on Monday thanks to a 32-10 run in the third-quarter. Trayce Jackson-Davis provided the exclamation mark with a highlight dunk over Wemby, but what does it say about Golden State's change in philosophy this season? They'll now face the Mavericks on Wednesday in what projects as their biggest game of the year to date in Dallas -- can Chris Paul lead an upset win? 

Plus, Otto Porter Jr. announced his retirement on Monday, having left a sizeable imprint on the Warriors in his lone season with the franchise.

The Warriors were at a disadvantage from the outset after a poor lineup choice prior to Saturday's loss to the Spurs. While it went someway to being fixed in the second-half, it was too little too late as the hosts were unable to overcome a 19-point half-time deficit. After a positive start to the home-stand with a blowout victory over the Bucks, Golden State are back in a major hole following losses to the Bulls and Spurs, along with a concerning ankle injury for Stephen Curry.

Trayce Jackson-Davis almost singlehandedly overturned serious Milwaukee momentum in the third-quarter, helping the Warriors to steady before they ran away with a blowout victory in the the fourth. Was it another indication that a fully healthy Golden State rotation can still mix it with the best in the league?

The Warriors suffered an embarrassing blowout defeat to the Boston Celtics on Sunday, but how much exactly should be read into the performance? Plus, a look ahead to this week's games and the remaining schedule for Golden State and those around them in the Western Conference.
