Evan GiddingsHOST
So we're watching the game, and, you know, we're at the bowl.
Evan GiddingsHOST
We actually saw, we saw, we ran into Nick Friedell, of all people, the Warriors Athletic beat writer.
Evan GiddingsHOST
So we're sitting there just talking about, you know, collegiate sports and how in the Bay, they're kind of on the back burner, yada, yada.
Evan GiddingsHOST
And I was asking Nick what he thought about the Cal experience, because it, it, it is, it's a little bit of a hike to get there.
Tim KawakamiHOST
I am Tim Kawakami in San Francisco.
Tim KawakamiHOST
We're speaking to Nick Friedell, our Hawaii correspondent, who might just stay out there.
Tim KawakamiHOST
Little do we know scheduling this episode [laughs] that we're gonna be coming right off of Nick Friedell watching, like, all of practice today, open practice.
Tim KawakamiHOST
I don't know what's going on out there.
Tim KawakamiHOST
Warriors media is not normally allowed to watch practice at any point, including training camp, but you saw a good bit of it.
20 MINS LATER
Tim KawakamiHOST
[whooshing] Stupid way to get into this way late in the episode, but a guy named Steph Curry had some knee issues last year.
Nick FriedellGUEST
[laughs]
Tim KawakamiHOST
Nick Friedell likes to remind Warriors fans about this every time, and they love it when you do.
Peter O'KeefeHOST
And so who, who is, like who's your point of attack defender in that situation? So I don't, I don't think that's a, a lineup that the Warriors necessarily are gonna start with.
Peter O'KeefeHOST
And then it seems from what I'm seeing on Twitter here from some of the media guys, uh, that are in Hawaii watching that scrimmage, Pods, apparently Nick Friedell's tweeted out, um, I'm not sure if Slater did, Luca Evans did, I think like a multiple guys here covering the Warriors who said that Pods looked excellent in that scrimmage and was making excellent decisions, hitting threes, getting to the free throw line.
Peter O'KeefeHOST
And so again, it seems by this scrimmage that Brandon Podziemski is ahead of D'Anthony Melton and- That doesn't-- Like, does it surpri- I, I genuinely think this is a 50-50, and so I'm not gonna be surprised either way with how they end up.
Peter O'KeefeHOST
I do think the Warriors like the fit of Melton with Steph, and I think if he can get healthy, he probably provides a little bit more of that point-of-attack defense than what Pods does.
Tim KawakamiHOST

Tim KawakamiHOST
Hey, this is a post-media day edition of Warriors Plus Minus.
Tim KawakamiHOST
I am here with Nick Friedell.
Tim KawakamiHOST
Uh, Marcus Thompson is wandering around the hall somewhere.
Tim KawakamiHOST
He might join us, he might not, but he might be getting some big scoop, so we'll let him go do it, and we'll see if he can join us halfway through.
Tim KawakamiHOST
Nick Friedell, uh, a long, long, long day, 'cause we had Steve Kerr and Mike Dunleavy at the start, then all the players.
Tim KawakamiHOST
I skipped some of the players.
Tim KawakamiHOST
They're doing something else, but, uh, what's the headline from this day? What was the most, uh, interesting thing?
Nick FriedellGUEST
Mm-hmm
Marc LazarusHOST
Man, I remember when I, when, uh, I, I, I used to co-host a radio show on the local, uh, ESPN station out here once in a while, and we had our, our Bulls writer on.
Marc LazarusHOST
It was Nick Friedell now, I think works for us now.
Marc LazarusHOST
Uh, and [laughs] I, we, it was Derrick Rose drama, and there was all these signings drama, and there was coaching drama, and there was all this stuff going on, and we're just peppering him with all these questions.
Marc LazarusHOST
And at the very end I'm like, "Nick, what's it like covering the NBA?" He goes, "I'm tired, man." [laughs]
Tim KawakamiHOST
We can watch it from afar.
Marcus ThompsonHOST
Uh, Nick Friedell will be there, so.
Tim KawakamiHOST
Yep.
Tim KawakamiHOST
Watch from afar.
