The Warriors missed a bunch of layups and lacked a sense of urgency as the Rockets evened up the series at two games apiece. Golden State is lamenting the fact that they got outshot from the 3-point line and lost the offensive rebounding battle in two close games in 
Houston. Game 4 featured another great performance by James Harden with PJ Tucker making his presence felt in many ways.
As the Giants reached May with a 12-18 record, we went into the clubhouse at Oracle Park to get the mood of Joe Panik, Tony Watson and Tyler Austin. Panik has made some adjustments and appears to be 
coming out of his early season slump. Watson is part of a tight knit bullpen. And, Austin is dealing with the challenges of learning how to play the outfield and fit in with a new team.
In game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals both the Rockets and Warriors saw top players go out with injuries and return. James Harden battled back after getting hit in the eyes. Steph 
Curry played after dislocating a finger on his left hand. In the end, Golden State won another close game at home to go up 2-0 in the series which is headed back to Houston on Saturday for game 3. Ray and Joe dissect game 2 and the series so far.
The Warriors took game 4 of their playoff series with the LA Clippers behind strong performances from Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant. Joe and Ray dissect the series and look ahead to game 5 in Oakland as the Warriors look to move on to the 2nd round.
Giants. Mark joins us to talk about the current roster makeup, Bruce Bochy’s final season, the possibility of Triples Alley being eliminated and the legacy of the late Hall of Famer 
Willie McCovey. Included is a review of the story of how McCovey Cove got its name.
The Warriors took game 1 of their playoff series with the LA Clippers 121-104. Joe and Ray talk about Steph Curry’s 38 point performance, the ejections of Kevin Durant and Patrick Beverley and what to expect in game 2 on Monday night in Oakland.
Bruce Macgowan from KCBS radio in San Francisco joins us to give his thoughts on the 2019 Giants. He also talks 
about three men from the Giants family that passed away over the last year, Hall of Famer Willie McCovey, former broadcaster Hank Greenwald and former owner Peter Magowan.
The Warriors concluded a 47-year run at Oracle Arena with a win in their final regular season home game in the building. So many memories and emotions were flowing on Sunday night. Golden State also clinched the #1 seed in the Western Conference by beating the Clippers. Ray and Joe take it all in and get you ready for the playoffs!
former Giants infielder and first round pick Christian Arroyo is back in town in a Rays uniform. They all joined Joe Castellano for the home opener on Friday at newly named Oracle Park in San Francisco.
