Clear out your Saturday evening, folks. The Golden State Warriors begin their title defense in earnest as the first round playoff matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers starts in just a couple days.
As was foretold by our pre-season ancestors, the Warriors finished with the West’s best record - which will match them up against the supposedly worst team in the bracket. However, this is the Western Conference, where the eight seeded teams are generally fairly decent. The Warriors will hopefully take this round seriously in order to keep this series as brief as possible.
