Similar Stories to The Warriors’ 10 Must-see Games This Season on Bing News

Company holiday party, nephew’s baptism, a honey-do list too long to be finished before tip-off ... whatever the reason, we know that most of you aren’t going to go 82-for-82 in 2016-17. Eschewing any scientific polling methods and relying primarily on hunches and history to help us, here are the 10 games this season that we consider “must see.” [...] if you can’t see them, remember that the radio broadcasts for all Warriors games have moved to 95.7 FM. Kevin Durant in the Warriors’ starting lineup for the first time in a game that matters. Former teammates Russell Westbrook and Durant have sniped at each other over the summer; Durant last week said the Warriors have “a bunch of players who are selfless and enjoy the game in its purest form,” Westbrook returned serve with: “That’s cute.” Another dose of familiarity, but expect this one to be much more amiable as the Warriors play a rebuilding Lakers team now coached by former Golden State assistant Luke Walton. The Lakers have won fewer games (38) in the past two seasons than did Walton (39) when he was Golden State’s interim head coach for the first 43 games in Steve Kerr’s absence last season. The up-and-coming Timberwolves feature dunk master Zach LaVine, guard Ricky Rubio and 7-foot Karl-Anthony Towns. The Trail Blazers lost in five games to the Warriors in the second round of the playoffs last season, but Oakland’s Damian Lillard loves playing the Warriors. The past five MVP award winners, four 2016 Olympic gold medalists, three scoring champions, two NBA Finals meetings and an 11:30 Christmas morning tip. Dallas: A larger-than-normal reunion as Warriors fans get to watch two-time Finals participants and new Mavericks Andrew Bogut and Harrison Barnes. Injuries and time have taken their toll, and when the Clippers — Pacific Division winners in 2012-13 and ’13-14 — were last seen, they were exiting the playoffs after blowing a 2-0 first-round series lead against Portland. If the Kings get a bounce from that new arena downtown, they might even contend for a playoff berth for the first time since 2006. Off night, end of a seven-game road trip, law of averages ...

Denver Post, Sunday - 04/28/2024 - 12:25 PM
