Advertise on podcast: Warriors Plus Minus: A show about the Golden State Warriors

Tim and Nick Friedell discuss Kristaps Porzingis' continued absence, Yaxel Lendeborg's growing responsibility and Brandin Podziemski's contract situation with opening night coming up Oct. 21.

Marcus Thompson and Zena Keita, pre and postgame host of Valkyries TV, hop on for an emergency podcast to discuss the Game 3 win over Dallas. In a win-or-go-home scenario, Golden State rallied from a 16-point deficit in the third quarter to eliminate the Wings. They discuss the vibes in Ballhalla, the clutchness of Gabby Williams and how the Valkyries should approach their next opponent — the defending champion Las Vegas Aces.

Tim and Nick Friedell discuss Brandin Podziemski's strong play, Georges Niang's fit and other interesting moments from Thursday's open scrimmage in Hawaii. Also, Frank Vogel is taking charge of the defense.

Marcus Thompson and Zena Keita, TV host of the Valkyries pre and postgame show, break down Game 2, the explosion from Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale and what we learned about the Valkyries that figures to be critical moving forward.

Tim and Nick Friedell discuss all the sights and sounds of Warriors Media Day, including the surprise announcement that Kristaps Porzingis is out indefinitely. Also, thoughts on the new offensive plans and Jimmy Butler's recovery.

Marcus and Tim analyze Stephen Curry's new two-year contract extension with the Warriors -- what it tells us about his and the team's future and why he took $20 million less than the maximum.

Marcus and Tim discuss the biggest issues heading into the start of training camp next week -- how will Draymond Green's role change? Could Kristaps Porzingis carry the team at times? Who's helping Steph Curry?

The veteran guard will have you running through a wall as she discusses her belief in the Valkyries. She talks with Marcus Thompson and Zena Keita about the playoff push, the fountain of youth she enjoys, the chemistry they employ and the haters who criticize how the Valkyries play. This is one GSV fans will love.

Marcus and Tim discuss the odds of Stephen Curry signing a contract extension with the Warriors by Media Day on Sept. 28 and also draw up options for possible trade targets down the road.

Golden State, finally, added some new players. Forward Georges Niang, guard Brandon Williams and wing Dalen Terry. These are by no means game-changing moves. But there seems to be some potential for a pleasant surprise. And the Warriors, with injuries and age being an issue, need bodies as much as they need skills. Marcus Thompson, with a brief segment with Dallas Mavericks beat writer Christian Clark, discuss the new moves and how they might fit.

Finally, Golden State got the better of the Lynx. The Valkyries did it in Minnesota, shut down Olivia Miles in the process, and made coach Cheryl Reeve wave the white flag with more than three minutes left. It clearly meant something to Golden State, which had been 0-9 all-time against Minnesota. But did it mean anything to Minnesota? Marcus Thompson and Zena Keita discuss that and playoff matchups with Seerat Sohi, host of The Ringer's WNBA Show.

Wednesday night's showdown with Minnesota, the first of two over the final 10 games, will have a significant impact on the standings. The Athletic's Marcus Thompson and Zena Keita, broadcast host of the Valkyries for KPIX, break down the stakes the top two teams facing off. A win would put Golden State in good shape to get the No. 1 seed. Whatever happens, the surging Tiffany Hayes is expected to be critical.

Marcus Thompson dives into the talk about the possibilities of Stephen Curry asking out and what we can learn from GM Mike Dunleavy's comments. Joseph Dycus, Warriors beat writer for the Mercury News, joins the show to discuss the Warriors' schedule and what is in store. Lots of significance in the schedule based on their context.

After a couple weeks hiatus, Valkyries Wednesday is back with a new co-host and lots to talk about. Zena Keita — whose analysis anchors the pregame, halftime and postgame shows for Valkyries games on CBS — joins Marcus Thompson to discuss Golden State, which sits No. 2 in the WNBA at 23-9. This episode discusses why the franchise chose not to trade for Kelsey Plum, coach Natalie Nakase's load management plan, and more.

Marcus and Tim look back on Don Nelson's historic two tenures with the Warriors -- from Run TMC to "We Believe" to starting the Stephen Curry era.
