This week on the WarriorsWorld podcast we have our 2012-2013 season preview. Ben, Sheed and myself give our predictions for the upcoming Warriors season along with who we think wins the East, West and the Larry O' Brian trophy. 

Note: this podcast was recorded before Stephen Curry signed his four year, $44 million deal. So, when Ben and myself predict the Warriors won't get a deal done before the extension deadline, well, don't think of us as being too stupid. 

Enjoy!
