Name Drop

Good show, but you guys gotta stop doing the whole ‘friend of the show’ thing. This is San Francisco, not LA. No need for name dropping.

Therapy Sessions

Thanks Light Years for getting me through a disappointing and frustrating Warriors season. This podcast is great to tap into the feelings of the fans, especially as a Warriors fan outside the Bay Area. The guys know basketball well enough to reflect on the games and the issues well. Not the deepest X and O or game recap pod but that’s better suited to video anyway. 10/10 no notes.

If Alex Jones had a Warriors podcast

If Alex Jones had an nba podcast this is exactly what it would look like. If you are into delusional conspiracy theories over X’s and O’s and real basketball talk then this is the podcast for you. If not, stick with Warriors +\-.
