That's not bad at all, considering our history with national TV. We seem to be right in the middle. For comparison, New Jersey has 2, Pacers have 3, OKC has 3, Utah has 21, Miami has 23, San Antonio has 28... Oh, and Sacramento....has.... 1 game. But, considering we were ecstatic to get ONE game a few years back, 11 is pretty exciting. So the whole world can watch Anthony Randolph dunk on their favorite players' domes...
I have highlighted my calendar on March 13 for the ultimate showdown between bitter rival Marco Belinelli vs. savvy veteran with championship experience, Devean George!
Does the NBA front office know something that we don't? I mean, sure the Dubs have a very young, fun team, but 11 games means that they think this is a playoff contending team. The team built as it is today...I don't see it.
They could cancel them too. They screwed us over a few times because we sucked lol. They did it to the Heat the year Shaq was traded and Wade was injured.
Stephen Curry. Also November and December sucks for the Warriors once again. Lots of road-trips. Just like last season only January and February are the months where there are a bunch of home games. Anybody know why? Are those months better for this team? I am guessing the Warriors don't want to compete with the football and baseball teams in November (well I guess baseball would be about over then...) and December. Or is it just what the NBA gives us, and we have to live with it?
I expect the Warriors to make the playoffs this season. 50 win season is achievable with this roster if it stays healthy.
If the team stays healthy and learns to play with each other then I think the sky's the limit. But that may be a stretch given the lack of real passers/distributors on the roster. But that is just my judgment.
I've felt that way for a while... but then the pessimist in me says that Nellie will give Maggette more minutes than Morrow, George more minutes than Randolph, and Claxton more minutes than Curry, and we'll be watching our youth waste away on the pine. But I hope not...
OK I noticed the Warriors play 6 of their 8 preseason games on the road, including FOUR in Staple Center in L.A.. I know it's only preseason but how is that fair? Just a strange schedule.
