The Warriors: It wasn't until Tuesday night's ring ceremony and the unveiling of our new banner where it really hit me: We did it! We're NBA Champions!
Now what can I say about the Warriors' big win on opening night? Steph's gonna Steph by dropping 40 points on National TV. Solid ball movement all the way around. 56 rebounds total from our squad. Not a bad night for Interim Coach Walton, who's 1-0 to start the season. Oh, and a new banner highlighting our achievement and championship rings for our squad!
Keep in mind, the Warriors should make some adjustments on a handful of missteps that occurred Tuesday night. Do a better job on the 3-point line and choose your shots wisely fellas. Ease back on those turnovers (20 total against New Orleans). With Andrew Bogut and Coach Steve Kerr still out, this team still has a deep roster. With the way Stephen Curry showcased his skills against the Pelicans, our MVP hasn't lost his touch and is still getting better! Expect another Warrior to step it up tonight as well...
- Last season's MVP Stephen Curry lights it up on Houston's court. Points, 3-pointers, And-1's, assists is all on him tonight. SPLASH!
- Bounce back game for Klay Thompson who started off slow with nine points, four rebounds and three assists against New Orleans Tuesday night. He'll do just fine tonight.
- The Warriors shot 30% on the 3-point line (9-for-30) opening night. I'm betting that number will increase at the Toyota Center. Golden State just needs to get hot.
- Andrew Bogut who sustained a concussion is likely to not be suiting up until he's cleared the NBA's protocol. That means extra minutes for our bigs, especially for James Michael McAdoo who I hope has a break out year. (big supporter right here!)
Win Prediction: The Dubs first road game victory by 8!
