Pat Spencer is That MF

With Stephen Curry not on the trip, with Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green out with ailments, the Warriors treated their road game at Cleveland as a rest day. Seth Curry, DeAnthony Melton and Al Horford also sat out. So Pat Spencer stole the show. Making his first career start, he orchestrated the Warriors cast of backups to a surprising road win over the Cavaliers. Nick Friedell of The Athletic joins Marcus Thompson from Cleveland to discuss the vibes in the locker room and what Spencer's breakout game means.

This is the way of warriors +\-. Realism without the downer. More of that please. I know when things are going bad. What I want to know is how can it change for the better!
MT brings it home- solo sailing!

Although he said he wouldn't get a webby for this solo episode about Draymond/Steve Kerr latest drama, he got my webby for it. Simultaneously free wheeling and acutely perceptive, MT is in a class unto himself. He keeps it real, is funny as hell, and really really knows the game. Thanks Marcus for cutting this pod at 2:30 AM. There is no other sports writer who I so often share with my friends, and this show was a good demonstration why. We are lucky to have you doing just what you do, just like you do.

Wanted to hear some Valkyries coverage but all I got was unfunny snark and general disbelief that women’s team could be successful. Tried a different episode about the Warriors and it felt like listening to middle grade boys repeating the same skibidi toilet joke ad nauseam.
