While Stephen Curry and Chris Paul Try Beating Lebron James-Less Lakers in Preseason Opener, Warriors Receive Huge Draymond Green Boost

The Golden State Warriors are experimenting a lot this season. Be it their style of play, or their choices of addition to the roster, everything has an element of intrigue to it. Chris Paul is a Warrior, and that erstwhile foe of the Golden State is teaming up to resurrect the lost glory of the Dubs. As the preseason is about to kick-start, the fans wanted to see LeBron?s Lakers lock horns with the Warriors. But it was not meant to be as the King chose to sit out this one.

If LeBron missing out on some preseason games is by design, the Dubs losing out on Draymond was not. And that is why this news will cheer up the Dub Nation.

Chris Paul and The Warriors Core

The troika of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green have led the Dubs through many battles. With four titles already under their belt, they are going for the fifth one. Last season was set to begin with a lot of promise, until the Draymond punch, which not only shook the rhythm but also later led to Jordan Poole?s exit. Hence, this is the Dubs’ comeback season of sorts, which was on shaky ground because of Draymond Green?s ankle injury. Thus, Draymond, becoming available for the season opener, has brought joy to the Bay Area team which reflects in the fan comments in the below post.

With Draymond in the lineup, the Warriors should try to set the tone for the season.

This would give them the breathing space towards the key milestones. And also help the recent additions to ease into the Warrior system.

The Splash Brothers

Klay Thompson before the injuries was the most feared player in the postseason. He was a lockdown defender who could bury the opponents with a barrage of threes. It is sad to say that he is not the same player anymore. Mostly due to injuries, and some due to his age, he has been lacking that punch. With that said, Klay is a fighter, and he can still surprise the world.

Last season, Stephen Curry had to carry the Dubs on many occasions. Especially in the series against the Kings, Steph was a one-man show. But against the Lakers, the finals? MVP required more support, which never came his way.

So this season, the most important question for the Dubs would be, ?who is going to be that go-to guy for the Dubs when Steph needs help?? The Golden State Warriors need their no.2 to show up.
