Sheed and I are back in studio to talk another week of Warriors basketball, for better or worse. Since our last episode the Warriors have gone 2-2 but have looked embarrasing in their last two games vs. the Rockets and the Thunder. Cause for concern? We discuss.

Bazemore -- who's been impressing lately in extended minutes -- talks about his upbringing in Kelford, North Carolina, his expectations entering training camp, where they are now and Family Guy.
