The Golden State Warriors' Kryptonite + USA Today Sports national columnist Dan Wolken

Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick thought on the big Phoenix Suns-Golden State Warriors showdown on Tuesday night. Phoenix put the game away late for their 17th consecutive win - and did so without Devin Booker for most of the game. Steph Curry had a rough shooting night for Golden State, but the bigger story was the way Deandre Ayton absolutely manhandled the Warriors front line. Even with the loss, Golden State still has a case for being the best team in the NBA, but their lack of size in the front court got exposed in a big way. If Ayton can have his way inside, what do you think guys like Anthony Davis, Nikola Jokic and LeBron James are going to do in the playoffs? It's definitely something to monitor. Later, USA Today Sports national columnist Dan Wolken swings by to discuss how the College Football Playoff has changed the perception that anybody can win the national title, why Lincoln Riley left to USC rather than stick with Oklahoma in the SEC, why he believes Brian Kelly ultimately decided to leave Notre Dame for LSU, why he expects that the UCLA Bruins will be stuck with Chip Kelly for at least one more season, why it's hard to envision Urban Meyer moving back to college given all the added drama that seems to follow him, why he expects Georgia to put a hurting on Alabama in the SEC championship game, why Cincinnati still isn't a lock to make the College Football Playoff - even if they win their conference championship game and finish the regular season undefeated, who might be the next head coach at Notre Dame, and much more!
