The initial 9-1 saga has come to a close. A bold prediction that garnered an even bolder scolding made the first 10 games of an 82 game marathon more fun and exciting than they should have been. Saam Esfandiari and Andy Liu of the Light Years Warriors Podcast join Trysta Krick to talk about how wild this has been, and of course the actual basketball that has led to the hot start in the Bay.

The Warriors are 9-1 and Trysta has been called out by every Warriors fan with a social media account. Yes. They went 9-1. Also... the Jokic and Morris families might be headed to a WWE ring to settle all feuds that are developing.

When will the Portland Trail Blazers dix the GM situation? It's shameful when being a terrible person leads everyone to realize you are also a terrible GM, but that is happening in Portland. The Lakers will probably have to fight their way into the playoffs and don't look ready to do battle. Ben Simmons and the 76ers are willing to do whatever it takes to keep the other from being happy. Even at the expense of their own serenity and happiness. And, sorry Bagley fans. Trysta has some reality you might want to sit down and listen to.

Trysta explains why some of the latest quotes from the great Damian Lillard should help people understand why he will be in Portland for a while. It's hard enough for one person to move. Not to mention 30 people. There is also a new basketball in the NBA. It hasn't made as much news as the rules, but between the two aspects of the young season there is some insight into the lowering of shooting percentages.

Montrezl Harrell doesn't like Dennis Schroeder and that is something worth really appreciating. That is where this episode begins! Trysta also examines how Hassan Whiteside missed out on generational wealth and Zion Williamson is fighting for his health. Someone needs to be the bad guy. Hopefully there is someone in the Pels organization that can either copy Trysta or fly here down to New Orleans for a heart to heart.

The season is still young and not every team with a nice looking record is as good as their percentage might indicate. Who have those teams played? How are they winning? When asking questions like that about the Washington Basketball Team, the answers point to the reality that they are not frauds and have put together a repeatable recipe for success. How much better is this team than expected?

In this episode, Trysta looks at the Lakers and explains why people should not be shocked at what they are seeing. Russell Westbrook is playing like Russell Westbrook. The rest of the roster were playing when the ABA folded. It's a problem. The Cleveland Cavaliers look good so far. Is it smoke and mirrors or something that can become a force? And there questions that need answers.

James Harden doesn't feel confident. If you didn't know you just have to see what he's said recently. What are the Blazers doing that has Trysta absolutely beside herself? Wil the Suns and Ayton be able to see eye to eye at any point? Squid Game Vs King James. Where is this beef headed? All of this in today's episode of Heat Check.

Zion and the Pelicans will not work. If New Orleans isn't already working on a rebuild, they should because they are on the way to squandering the opportunity of having another generational talent on the roster. Who is the rookie that has already secured a dope nickname and frontrunner status for ROY? Are the Bulls for real? Or do people just want all of that Jordan gear in the closet to look relevant?

In the best of times Ben Simmons and the 76ers were still disappointing. Now, Ben is maybe the most polarizing figure in NBA history. The most hated 76er in Philly history and it can actually get worse! Trysta covers that story, Lowry already making things work in Miami, the 75th anniversary team and much more in this episode of the Heat Check.
