    Gary Payton II & Brandon Williams: Vogel’s Collision Mentality, Kyrie & CP3

    Gary Payton II sounds genuinely delighted that Frank Vogel wants the Warriors to be more physical on defense. When told the new philosophy involves creating collisions, Gary's reaction is priceless: "We get to cause a collision. Cool. We're good." 😂Brandon Williams (B-Dub) takes that philosophy a step further, explaining why the Warriors need to challenge opponents at the rim, even when it means occasionally getting dunked on. Having Draymond Green, De'Anthony Melton and Gary behind him gives B-Dub confidence in Golden State's defensive identity.But this isn't just about defense. Gary discusses breaking old habits as the Warriors adjust to a new offense, while B-Dub explains how Steve Kerr actually encourages his creative plays and speed — provided he learns to manage the turnovers that come with them... 👇 SYNOPSIS CONTINUED BELOW 👇 📌 Join on our knowledge-based Discord server for real-time NBA news feeds on all things Warriors, plus SEARCHABLE VIDEO by topics, coaches, players. 🗞 Free Discord with categorized Warriors + NBA updates: https://whop.com/letsgowarriors (choose FREE version) 💎 VIP Discord with real-time news feeds, exclusive clips + insights: https://whop.com/letsgowarriors (choose VIP version) 📰 Substack: https://letsgowarriors.com YOUTUBE VERSION OF THIS EPISODE: https://youtu.be/_xlzTudO7uQ (Entire transcript/timestamps found there in its Comments) THIS ORIGINALLY APPEARED LIVE HERE: [n/a] 👇 We also get two especially entertaining stories: B-Dub recalling how his former high school teammate De'Anthony Melton guarded positions 1 through 5, including a 6-foot-8 center, and revealing how Chris Paul and Kyrie Irving influenced his "yo-yo" dribble.Featuring edited practice interviews and original Let's Go Warriors commentary ahead of the 2026-27 season opener against the Lakers.

    Steve Kerr on Vogel's "Collision Mentality" + Steph Curry Load Management | Warriors University

    Welcome to Warriors University! 🏀🎓 What does Steve Kerr mean by "collision mentality"? And why is Golden State deliberately scaling back Steph Curry's workload heading into the regular season? In this first Warriors University experiment, I revisit my days as a credentialed Warriors reporter, when Kerr's press conferences often felt like sitting around a campfire with the wise elder of the tribe. You could learn something new at almost every session. Today's lesson connects Frank Vogel's "smashmouth basketball" philosophy from his Indiana Pacers days — including the 2013 NBA Global Games in Taiwan that I covered — to the Warriors' current defensive approach. 👇 SYNOPSIS CONTINUED BELOW 👇 📌 Join on our knowledge-based Discord server for real-time NBA news feeds on all things Warriors, plus SEARCHABLE VIDEO by topics, coaches, players. 🗞 Free Discord with categorized Warriors + NBA updates: https://whop.com/letsgowarriors (choose FREE version) 💎 VIP Discord with real-time news feeds, exclusive clips + insights: https://whop.com/letsgowarriors (choose VIP version) 📰 Substack: https://letsgowarriors.com YOUTUBE VERSION OF THIS EPISODE: https://youtu.be/kiBteHPQjP0 (Entire transcript/timestamps found there in its Comments) THIS ORIGINALLY APPEARED LIVE HERE: [n/a] 👇 Vogel has even described Brandin Podziemski taking charges as a form of rim protection!

In this collection of THREE interviews from Las Vegas, Yaxel first provides an update on his rolled ankle, explains how he tested it in the tunnel and opens up about his struggles adjusting to NBA defense.

    Steve Kerr: Porzingis Update, Brandon Williams & 90 Turnovers

    Steve Kerr has an update on Kristaps Porzingis, calls Brandon Williams the Warriors' backup point guard and addresses what he estimated were "90 turnovers" through four preseason games. (The official total was actually 84, but who's counting? Well, we are! 😅) In this October 12 practice Q&A, Kerr says Porzingis is expected back at the Warriors' facility on October 13 to meet with Rick Celebrini and the performance staff, while declining to speculate about his regular-season availability.But there's plenty more to unpack... 👇 SYNOPSIS CONTINUED BELOW 👇 📌 Join on our knowledge-based Discord server for real-time NBA news feeds on all things Warriors, plus SEARCHABLE VIDEO by topics, coaches, players. 🗞 Free Discord with categorized Warriors + NBA updates: https://whop.com/letsgowarriors (choose FREE version) 💎 VIP Discord with real-time news feeds, exclusive clips + insights: https://whop.com/letsgowarriors (choose VIP version) 📰 Substack: https://letsgowarriors.com YOUTUBE VERSION OF THIS EPISODE: https://youtu.be/afticoo6voE (Entire transcript/timestamps found there in its Comments) THIS ORIGINALLY APPEARED LIVE HERE: [n/a] 👇 Kerr explains why he's finally emphasizing turnovers after spending training camp installing new offensive concepts — and why the chaotic, high-risk basketball that worked with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant isn't necessarily sustainable with today's Warriors.He also offers perhaps his strongest endorsement yet of Brandon Williams as the backup point guard, provided Williams learns to balance his remarkable speed and explosiveness with better decisions and ball security.In my opening commentary, I discuss why we should give Porzingis some grace, how I view Kerr's risk-versus-reward teaching approach from my own coaching experience and why LJ Cryer could have an opportunity if Williams struggles with turnovers.There's also plenty on the projected starting lineup featuring Yaxel Lendeborg, Al Horford's minutes, Malevy Leons, NBA expansion, Natalie Nakase and Kerr's fascinating five-part checklist for succeeding in today's NBA.TOPICS & TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) LGW cold open and analysis — KP, 90 turnovers and Brandon Williams(01:14) Kerr: 90 turnovers and the practice film session(02:01) Steph, Draymond and the new offensive concepts(03:11) Porzingis expected back at the Warriors' facility(03:34) Starting five: Steph, Podz, Gui, Yaxel and Draymond?(04:15) Kerr protects Porzingis' privacy(04:26) Brandon Williams as backup PG — speed vs. ball security(05:36) Williams' contract, NBA future and Leandro Barbosa comparison(07:02) Why the old Warriors could survive turnovers — and today's team can't(08:52) Al Horford's maintenance and Steph Curry's minutes(10:08) Malevy Leons' development and two-way role(11:04) NBA expansion: Seattle, Las Vegas and late tipoffs(13:01) Natalie Nakase and the emotional toll of playoff coaching(14:04) Kerr's modern NBA checklist: dribble, pass, shoot, process — and defend(15:37) Mike Ditka and Kerr's Chicago memoriesRecorded October 12, 2026, at the Warriors' practice facility.More Warriors interviews, behind-the-scenes coverage and analysis at LetsGoWarriors.com.#Warriors #SteveKerr #KristapsPorzingis #BrandonWilliams #NBA Keywords: Steve Kerr, Golden State Warriors, Kristaps Porzingis, Brandon Williams, Warriors turnovers, Warriors preseason 2026, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Yaxel Lendeborg, Brandin Podziemski, Al Horford, LJ Cryer, Malevy Leons, Leandro Barbosa, Jimmy Butler, Warriors starting lineup, Warriors practice interview, Let's Go Warriors, NBA
