Warriors Basketball Update
October 6th, 2023 12:48 pmSo, we've just about hit the NBA basketball pre-season -- the first pre-season Warriors game is tomorrow!
I wasn't really planning to blog about basketball. I've been lurking on the Warriors subreddit and listening to the Dubs Talk podcast for my Warriors news, so I've been pretty well abreast of training camp updates and roster/trade murmurings, but I don't generally have a lot to say about basketball. I'm actually not a huge strategy person with this; I understand when other people talk about strategic choices with lineups, positions, minutes, tactics, what have you, but I don't really speculate on my own.
But I'm on the east coast and like half the games start at 10pm and finish up around 1am. That's not tenable with an 8-4 work schedule. Not to mention, I pay for the NBA pass because I don't pay for cable (and couldn't watch the many local broadcast games without annoying pirating acrobatics otherwise), which means I can't watch games on national TV until the blackout period is over. Last year, I fell behind watching games but I'm hoping this year I won't watch anything later than next day (or three days later, if some games still have the long blackout...).
And basically, because I'm not using twitter, I might do a little blog entry after each game just so I can see that I'm catching them, lol. And cry unhappily if anything especially egregious happens. So stay tuned for basketball updates, I suppose!!
