Game Thread: Green, Wiggins on minutes limit as Warriors open their season against Lakers
Small ball proof of concept game against one of the biggest teams in the NBA
That’s right friends, it is finally time for the Golden State Warriors to play meaningful basketball!
First up, some new information that came out of media availability after shootaround this morning. Apparently both Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green will be on a minutes limitation as the season gets underway.

But whatever, it’s going to be a fun night of Nellie ball v2021 versus whatever non-spread offense the Los Angeles Lakers have going this season.


Also, a quick note in case you missed it: Gary Payton II made it back to the team and will occupy that final roster spot (on a non-guaranteed deal). Remember that because of the Warriors’ roster situation, that 15th spot is a bit higher up the depth chart than 15th. We still won’t see a ton of him outside of garbage time, but he sure looked like the best available option in limited preseason run.

Game Thread: Green, Wiggins on minutes limit as Warriors open their season against Lakers
In the few minutes moody played, he made some good passes and seemed in position on defense.
He is gonna force his way into the rotation sooner than later. For a rookie in his first game, I was surprised he didn't look completely overwhelmed.
Yes no#1 seed in the West
