[Valkyries Wednesday] A Conversation with Gabby Williams

The Warriors gave up a 17-0 run to close its home opener, turning a 12-point lead with just under four minutes left into this season's first gut-wrenching loss. Now they head out on a three-game road trip, two of them against West contenders and one without two starters. Maybe more. Marcus Thompson, Tim Kawakami and Nick Friedell discuss the impact of the Warriors dropping this game, how they dropped it and what do they do now.

The Warriors got handled pretty thoroughly by the Lakers to open the season. But the biggest story of the night was the rookie. Yaxel Lendeborg got into a back-and-forth with Luka Dončić on the court, then Yaxel took it to another level after the game. Marcus Thompson and Nick Friedell were on the scene and bring interviews and insight from the locker room.

Game 3 was even worse than Game 2. Golden State's offensive futility remained, but the Atlanta Dream picked apart their defense even more as the series shifted to Atlanta. And it wasn't just Angel Reese. Zena Keita, the TV host of the Valkyries, returns to discuss what's been going wrong for the Valkyries and what they can do to reclaim control of this series for Game 4. Because Atlanta is feeling good, State Farm Arena will be rocking and the Valkyries could be coming back to the Bay Area in serious trouble.

Tim talks with Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy about the recent Stephen Curry injury scare, Kristaps Porzingis' indefinite absence, Yaxel Lendeborg's emergence, and the team's mindset going into the season opener on Wednesday in LA.

Marcus, Tim and Nick Friedell discuss the Warriors' sudden dependence on Yaxel Lendeborg to start this season and Kristaps Porzingis' statement on social media about his continued absence with an illness.
