UPDATE: Thanks to "Warriors8" for posting the actual schedule in a Fan Post. I've hidden that fan post and posted it after the jump. Also thanks to "Dubs fan in Boston" for posting a link to ESPN's Games to Watch.
==========================================
The Warriors season schedule is going to be released today. We'll get a chance to find out when Baron Davis will come back to town as a Clipper. As far as Dunleavy, JRich, and Foyle returning, I'm over it. No need to boo Dunleavy every time she touches the ball, give JRich a standing O when he gets introduced, or for the Warriors to give Foyle his own video montage during intros.
It will also give us a chance to plan out when some of the top and hyped players come to town. LeBron, Kobe,
Bob Fitzgerald, on KNBR's Murph and Mac show, just dropped a sneak peak at the schedule with 4 little nuggets.
1) Opening Day is Wednesday, October 29 vs the New Orleans Hornets
I think it's at home, but I'm not sure. All I know is that it's going to be a rough opening to a season. CP3 is never fun, I'm hoping he gets a little tired out from these Olympic games, but I doubt it.
2) 24 of the first 38 games are on the road
Ugh. After the last 2 years of the majority of games at home during the first 2 months, the Warriors have to play on the road for the majority of the time. It'll be tough for such a young team who have lost their fearless leader who didn't care where he played. At least we still have Jax who enjoys sticking it to the opponent's crowd. Hopefully Monta can replace BD's toughness on the road. If this is not a good road team (last year's was very good), we could be looking at being below .500 in mid to late January.
3) 2 preseason games in China
The Warriors play 2 preseason games in China but I can't remember the 2 opponents. I think one was Milwaukee. It's a loooong flight and I'm sure China will be a culture shock to some of these youngsters. Will it be beneficial for the Warriors or the players in terms of basketball? I doubt it. But I'm sure some (many?) of them would not have visited China if not for these 2 games.
4) 8 games on national TV
The Warriors play 8 games on national tv. Shows the Warriors are getting some more respect and are being recognized as a team that people want to watch.
When the schedule actually is released, I'll include a link.
==========================================
UPDATE: Nevermind, Fitz said it would be released in a couple hours but it's out right now.
