The front-burner story lines are the ones we’ve all discussed and written about leading into tonight’s Game 1 at Oracle… What will the Warriors do defensively vs. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, what can the Thunder do to limit Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson and how will the Warriors play it when OKC plays big men Steven Adams and Enes Kanter together.
-Note: Warriors-OKC Game 1 officials: Monty McCutchen, Derrick Stafford, Tom Washington. It’s clear the NBA considers McCutchen one of their top guys, which he is. He’ll end up on another game this series if it goes deep, I’d imagine. And if the Warriors advance one more round, they’ll probably see McCutchen (and Danny Crawford, the co-No. 1) a few more times in June.
Warriors-Thunder secondary story lines: Kevin Durant, Kanter/Adams vs. Barnes/Iguodala, and the Mo Speights Factor
