The Athletic’s Anthony Slater is our guest to discuss Golden State’s title defense. What are some of the big themes going into this season? Will the young triumvirate of Moses Moody, James Wiseman, and Jonathan Kuminga contribute? How could the extension negotiations with Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, and Jordan Poole impact the team? How does the competition in the West shape up? How long can Steph Curry stay at this level? And is Golden State the favorite to repeat as NBA champions?

Then, the long-awaited debut of Caitlin Cooper of Indy Cornrows to discuss the Pacers' upcoming season. How can Tyrese Haliburton take the next step, and is he THE foundational piece for Indiana? What role will Bennedict Mathurin play in his first season? How are they going to guard anyone on the perimeter? What type of defensive scheme does she expect Indiana to play? We also hit on potential breakout and regression candidates, playing time and lineup issues, key questions for success this year, and give our predictions for the season.
