After getting absolutely annihilated by the San Antonio Spurs on opening night, the Golden State Warriors got back to their winning ways – as well as integrating Kevin Durant – thanks to the Pelicans and Suns.

This Thursday, though, we get our first Thunder-Warriors matchup of the season. That could prove to be…well, interesting to say the least.

You’re going to want to be near a TV screen to catch that game, even if the Warriors blow the Thunder out. The KD-Russ tension, especially after everything’s that been said in the media, should be great television. For a while, at least.
