After a one-plus year hiatus, the Warriors HQ Podcast is back and better than ever. In this episode, Bay Area News Group sports columnist Dieter Kurtenbach (remember him) is joined by not-exactly-new Warriors beat writer Wes Goldberg to discuss the Warriors landing the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. (Yeah, a lot has happened over the last few months.) 

Game 6 was the final game at Oracle Arena in Oakland, an emotional and bittersweet occasion. The Warriors entered Game 6 without Kevin Durant, who tore his Achilles tendon — the worst injury in basketball — on Monday. And then, in the third quarter, they lost Klay Thompson to a knee injury that was later confirmed to be a torn ACL. The Toronto Raptors are worthy champions. Where does the team rate for next season and what can GM Bob Myers do to get the Warriors to the playoffs?

Can the Golden State Warriors get it back soon? With the Warriors facing a 3-1 series deficit to the Toronto Raptors, a few outcomes are in store should the Warriors fail to overcome this obstacle just as they did to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2016 Western Conference Finals.

Why Warriors lost Game 3 despite Steph Curry's breakout performance

The Golden State Warriors’ 18-0 run in the third quarter gave them a 109-104 win over the Toronto Raptors and tied the NBA Finals series at 1-1 as the team's head to Oakland fro Wednesday's Game 3. The game did produce some injuries. Klay Thompson got a fourth quarter hamstring injury, Stephen Curry was fighting some kind of illness that resulted in dehydration and Kevon Looney sprained his collarbone. It is unknown how these injuries will affect the lineup on Wednesday.

The Warriors labored loss to the Toronto Raptors in Game 1 of the NBA Finals offered the latest evidence to a topic that should have been irrefutable even during the Warriors’ recent success without him. The Warriors are worse without Kevin Durant, who missed his sixth consecutive playoff game because of a strained right calf.
