After a five day training camp in Hawaii followed by a scrimmage, the Golden State Warriors came back home for just long enough to trounce the Los Angeles Lakers. But it was a short visit, as the team needs to quickly vacate the premises for the Valkyries’ playoff game at Chase Center tonight.
This game does appear to be on both NBA TV and DirectTV, but we won’t blame anyone for tuning into the feed from Ballhalla to watch their playoffs. We welcome all flavors (except salty)1!
GAME DETAILS
WHO: Golden State Warriors (1-1) vs. Portland Trailblazers (idk)
WHEN: Wednesday, October 7th, 2026; 7pm PDT
WATCH: NBATV
Most of the team stays home
{Shout-out to to DNHQ member in good standing, Ty, for this}
————————-
I believe that leaves:
Will Richard
Brandon Williams
Charles Bassey
LJ Cryer
Graham Ike
Malevy Leons
Dalen Terry
Miles Kelly
Alex Toohey
This is shaping up to be an elite version of preseason basketball. Without all of the main players, this roster still offers enough intrigue to make this an interesting battle tonight. It will also give the players and coaching staff an extended opportunity to explore combinations and play sets to inform the mandatory eventual roster cut decisions.
Prediction
I’m not sure I’ll be able to watch this one, and a bit more sure that I’m not alone here.
Unless it is funny and salty. Those can be good jokes.
GAME DETAILS are for last night's game.
Bassey filling up the stat sheet, including 3 steals and a block in 12 minutes.
