One of the early season’s most anticipated matchups is here: The Chicago Bulls, retooled over the offseason, will be coming to the Chase Center to play against the best team in the league in the Golden State Warriors. This is the heavyweight people have been expecting, a test for both teams to see if they’re really ready to punch once again with the NBA’s top franchises.

His newfound stardom with the Warriors has been years in the making. The 6’3 guard hailing from Oregon State and the son of NBA legend Gary Payton better known as “The Glove” has quickly risen to relevancy with his recent string of highlight-filled performances and tough defense.
Read MoreThe Warriors made a quiet, yet impactful hiring during the offseason by adding Dejan Milojevic to the coaching staff.
Milojevic’s focus is to develop James Wiseman, but he is not limited to that job, as he also helps with the development of Kevon Looney and looks to increase Draymond Green’s offensive production.

Question marks were surrounding the big man and how much longer his stay in the Bay Area would be. Move forward to the next season and James Wiseman goes down. Looney stepped up in a major way as the lone center available for the team and has succeeded in that role.

In a 123-110 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Andrew Wiggins went for 35 points on 14-19 shooting. He also shot 50% from three-point range and chipped in four rebounds along with two steals. At the end of the first half, Wiggins finished with 22 points on an outstanding 9-9 from the field. While those stats are great, the highlight(s) of the night came in the form of Wiggins’ two monster slams over Karl-Anthony Towns.

According to Woj, Thompson’s recovery process has been going very well, so much so that the Dubs figure he could return between the games on December 20th and the 23rd.
