The Portland Trail Blazers get their first chance at a rematch with Golden State Warriors at home on Tuesday after the Warriors ended the Blazers' 2015-16 season in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals last spring.
The Blazers will have their hands 'a little more full' against the Warriors, who added former MVP Kevin Durant in free agency to an already record-breaking roster. The game will be broadcast locally on CSN and nationally as a part of NBA TV's Fan Night.
Former Blazers guard Steve Smith (1990-2001), who is now an analyst for NBA TV, spoke with The Oregonian/OregonLive on Monday about the Blazers' first meeting with the Warriors, Portland's offseason and more.
