Are the Spurs sociopaths for not engaging with Philly? All that before we get into the important discussion: Jimmy G and Kiara Mia hitting the town, just two young kids in puppy love.

Locked On Warriors – Daily Podcast On The Golden State Warriors
The Warriors' injury report is extensive. They will face the Kings at home tonight without Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Patrick McCaw. Curry, Thompson and McCaw aren't expected to be able to return until the end of the month. Draymond Green's shoulder is ailing but he will play, and David West is finally ready to return from a cyst on his shooting elbow. Andre Iguodala is nursing a few injuries but will suit up. Jordan Bell's ankles are sore. Quinn cook's hand is hurt... It's a house of horrors in the Dubs' training room right now. Miles Johnson joins Aliko to discuss what Klay's broken hand could mean for the Warriors' playoff push. Down the Reddit hole, they take a look at LeBron's latest in-game masterpiece, and compare that poster dunk to some of the best jams King James has bestowed upon us over the years. In the final segment, Aliko and Miles take a look at the playoff races in the East and the West, and break down some of the more intriguing matchups. How scary are the Sixers and Bucks in the bottom half of the East? Are we sleeping on Victor Oladipo? Should the Spurs embrace their slide down the Western Conference standings and go for the lottery? What about the Nuggets? Listen up for thoughts on all these questions and more.

Laz picks up on how Reggie can help the ailing offense (5:45). Focusing on the three ball, Laz and Jacob talk about what is the main reason behind the team’s poor shooting (7:05). One way to improve the offense could be small-ball lineups. Laz and Jacob ponder what lineup would spark the offense (13:10).

Jacob and Laz calm those fears and then Laz offers one thing that is a positive coming from Reggie’s absence (21:00). Next is a conversation about Marcus Morris and his future role with the team (22:40). If Marcus is moved out of the starting lineup, Jordan asks who moves in (25:00). The conversation turns to the Eastern Conference and the current playoff picture (30:50). Looking at the teams outside the playoffs, Laz mentions why the Pistons should “Fear the Deer” (36:25). The podcast wraps with some quick hits the East: Are the Bulls for real (39:50)? Are the Wizards really ‘that’ bad (41:20)?
