Locked On Warriors – Daily Podcast On The Golden State Warriors

After a tough night for the short-handed Golden State Warriors in Minnesota, Kylen Mills and Charlie Walter break down what went wrong for the team . With several key players missing—including Steph Curry, Jonathan Kuminga, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, De'Anthony Melton, and Al Horford—the Warriors’ lack of shot creation and interior presence was on full display, leading to an ugly, lopsided loss against a motivated Timberwolves team.
The hosts dig into the individual performances, pointing out flashes of positivity from young players like Will Richard and Quentin Post, but also acknowledging the daunting post-Steph reality for Dub Nation. They discuss the bench’s inability to generate offense, interior vulnerabilities, and what this could mean for the Warriors’ future roster construction.
In the second half of the show, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kevin Stone joins to give insight and optimism on Jimmy Butler’s torn ACL, explaining why modern sports medicine advancements mean age is less of an obstacle for elite athletes returning to top form. Dr. Stone’s comments offer hope for Butler’s recovery and future impact with the Warriors.

On this episode of Locked On Warriors, Charlie Walter and Matt Kolsky break down a much-needed Golden State Warriors win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The guys dive into the Warriors' defensive intensity—highlighting the 26 turnovers they forced—and discuss what this means for the team's short-term and long-term outlook. They analyze the standout performances of Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski, debate the ongoing Jonathan Kuminga situation, and what the future might hold with the trade deadline looming and Steve Kerr's uncertain contract status. There’s also a lively discussion about potential trade targets, including Domantas Sabonis, Trey Murphy III, and even the possibility of Zion Williamson becoming a Warrior. The episode ties it all together with thoughts on where the Warriors stand in the Western Conference, what moves they should consider at the deadline, and which young pieces are proving themselves for the future. Filled with insight, analysis, and some laughs, this show is a must-listen for Warriors fans following a season filled with ups and downs.

Despite Jimmy Butler's season ending with a torn ACL, the Golden State Warriors still appear to be interested in Trey Murphy from the New Orleans Pelicans, per ESPN. Could this trade make sense for the Warriors, plus could they add in another team to also provide a dynamic scoring punch? Chuck Walter and Mike Loginoff debate.

Go figure, right. Steve Kerr goes back to Jonathan Kuminga, and JK goes for 20-points in 21 minutes of action. The Golden State Warriors fell behind BIG early and were never able to catch up to the hot shooting Toronto Raptors, who were led by Immanuel Quickley's 40-points.
