Golden State Warriors

“The obvious choice here is the Golden State Warriors. Everyone in the Western Conference will be evaluating how they can matchup and compete with the Warriors for a 82-game season. In our meetings with the Warriors, I’ll be looking for moments and flashes of how we can limit their jump shooting and disrupt their offense. Defensively, I don’t think they can really slow us down, but we need to be able to see if we can match them when they’re on offense. The Mavs have plenty of experience with Kevin Durant and we’ve played him well overall. Now, let’s see if we can combat him and his new friends.”
