Hey Warriors fans!

Just wrapped up another episode of Locked on Warriors, and boy do we have a lot to unpack after that brutal loss to the Kings.

I break down what went wrong in the 129-99 blowout, from the turnover issues to the lack of offensive movement. We also discuss the Jonathan Kuminga injury news and what it means for the team going forward.

My guest Allen Stiles joins to give his perspective as someone who’s covered both these teams. We debate whether it’s time to shake things up with the roster and if Buddy Hield’s cold streak has gone on too long for significant minutes.

I also look ahead at the upcoming schedule and ponder if now is the time for the Warriors to make a big move before the trade deadline. Could Nikola Vucevic be the answer?

Lots to chew on as we try to right the ship. Give it a listen and let me know your thoughts!

Talk soon,

Charlie
