Welcome to February Daily Topics at Golden State of Mind. A question (almost) every day this month to give the community a prompt to talk about!<\/p>\n
Well folks, it\u2019s almost time. On Thursday, the Golden State Warriors will get back in action at the Chase Center, hosting the Boston Celtics in a rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals, though both teams look dramatically different four years later (including two of the players from that Celtics team now playing for the Warriors).<\/p>\n
It marks the end of the All-Star break, and the start of the second half of the season \u2026 though this \u201chalf\u201d is only 27 games, after 55 in the opening act.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll admit that it\u2019s not the most exciting return to action for the Warriors. With Jimmy Butler III out for the year with an ACL tear, Steph Curry fighting off lingering injuries, and the Jonathan Kuminga drama finally behind us, there aren\u2019t a ton of intriguing stories for a Warriors team that would need a minor miracle to make a playoff run that outlasts the first round of the playoffs. The biggest story for the rest of the season is how Kristaps Porzi\u0146\u0123is looks when he gets on the court \u2026 and if he can stay healthy.<\/p>\n
Still, basketball is back in front of us, and that\u2019s fun and exciting, and there\u2019s much to talk about. So it seemed like a good time to do another mailbag, which we haven\u2019t done in quite some time.<\/p>\n
So drop your questions \u2014 no topic (within reason) is off limits \u2014 in the comment section below, and I\u2019ll answer them all on Thursday ahead of the team\u2019s return to action. And until then, enjoy one more night of peace before getting back to watching this fairly frustrating basketball team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to February Daily Topics at Golden State of Mind.
