Podcast appearances and mentions of Jimmy Butler

Brad and Ryan preview Sunday night's matchup between the Pacers and Warriors, as Indiana looks to stay undefeated at the Chase Center. Golden State will be looking for payback after last week's loss in Indy, and Steph Curry — who missed Friday's game in Denver with an illness — is expected to return. The guys dive into what it'll take for the Pacers to keep pace on the second night of a back-to-back, why limiting the Warriors from deep is non-negotiable, and who needs to find the hot hand offensively. They also react to Jimmy Butler's “G League” jab at the Pacers' injury-riddled roster, and share a few thoughts on Draymond Green's never-ending delusion tour. It's all about energy, pace, and pride as the blue and gold head west to take on the aging dynasty. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It was the battle of the shorthanded teams as the Kings without Zach Lavine and Domantas Sabonis battled the Warriors without Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler.The game started out in the Warrior's favor as the Kings struggled on offense and their defense was getting shredded. They would turn the game in their favor in the 3rd quarter and then it was a shootout in the 4th in which the Kings won out.The Kings will need to find a way to start games better as it's been every game it feels like that they come out flat on offense and defense and it puts them in a hole that they have to claw out of.Regardless, they get a nice win at home with a triple double from Russell Westbrook and they get to light the beam!Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com

All those concerns that those two cannot play together are officially dead

The Warriors big offseason acquisition actually happened back in February, not in the summer

Willard and Dibs discuss Jimmy Butler's performance on Opening Night in Los Angeles, break down how he's turned the Warriors around ever since he was acquired, and more.

The season begins for the Lakers as they host the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night at the Crypto.com Arena. And despite a near triple-double from Luka (43 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists), and support in the fourth quarter from Austin Reaves (26 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds), the Lakers' defense couldn't hold the Warriors from outclassing the Lakers in a 119-109 victory over LA. Check in with the crew from the LFB as they weigh in on what opening night for the Lakers looked like and how it could go for the early part of this season. They also discuss the disappointing third quarter and defensive woes rearing their ugly head, the offense not yet in sync, the lack of options for JJ Redick, and the team fouling Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler so that they could go 24-24 from the free-throw line. The Lakers and Warriors open the season with LA taking it on the chin in front of the home crowd, and we're back to cover it all on the Lakers Fast Break podcast!Follow @DripShowshop for some awesome sports merchandise!Check out Dodgers baseball on Playback at https://www.playback.tv/thejoesorooxperimentJoe's new game Coreupt is OUT NOW!
