Consider this game a homecoming of sorts as KD faces his former team and Chris Paul faces the Suns for the first regular season meeting since getting traded by the team last spring.
Despite the Warriors being a former rival of CP3 during his time with the Suns and previously the Los Angeles Clippers, Paul’s addition to the team has been “seamless,” according to Curry.
“it’s mad fun,” Curry saif of having Paul on the team.
Paul has a history of seamless play next to superstar guards having played alongside James Harden, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Devin Booker, to name just a few. Fans should expect another easy partnership with Curry.
As for a win tonight, Paul’s former Suns team will have something to say about that.

If you’re cutting the cord to your cable company, you’re not alone; in fact, you are in luck. You can still watch the NBA, MLB and the NFL on TV with an affordable indoor antenna, which pulls in local over-the-air HDYC channels such as TNT, CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox and PBS. Here’s the kicker: There’s no monthly charge.
Anyone living in partially blocked-off area (those near mountains or first-floor apartments), a digital TV antenna may not pick up a good signal – or any signal at all. But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch college football without paying a staggering monthly fee. Indoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable (or your cable company gets in a squabble with a network).
This amplified HDTV antenna, claims to have a 50-mile range and offers 36 channels. It’s rated 4.0 stars by Amazon reviewers.
Said one Amazon customer, “When the price of this antenna dropped to $50, it was competitively priced with what you would find on the shelves at your local Radio Shack. If you’re considering this product, you’re probably already questioning your cable television bill and are looking around for a cheap way to get the Big 3 plus Fox and PBS. This antenna delivered that for us right out of the box.”
Everybody love Victor: At 19 years old and standing 7′ 4″ tall, French basketball sensation Viktor Wembanyama makes his NBA regular-season debut on Oct. 25 with the San Antonio Spurs. The first overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, “Wemby” is the most-anticipated rookie since LeBron James made his NBA debut in 2023. Agile and athletic, Wembanyama already proved he’ll be a serious threat on defense during the 2023 preseason, eight-foot wingspan and all.
Dame time in Milwaukee: Despite the NBA’s efforts to ban superteams, the pairing of Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee has the potential to be just that. Dame spent 11 years with the Portland Trail Blazers before the seven-time All-NBA point guard requested a trade. Giannis is a two-time NBA MVP surrounded by an already talented Bucks team. Dame brings his leadership, loyalty and clutch shots to Milwaukee, which is starting to look exactly like a super team.
The end of an era in Nor Cal? When Golden State Warriors beloved GM Bob Myers stepped down last spring, it sparked questions if the Warriors dynasty — which led to four NBA championships — is over. Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins are all locked in to the team for at least three seasons, but head coach Steve Kerr and one-third of the Splash Brothers — Klay Thompson — are both in the last year of their respective contracts. Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob has always shown he’s willing to spend to keep the team together, but reports say the team and Thompson are far from making a deal. It’s hard to imagine the team without Kerr’s calm, sideline-cool or Thompsons epic 3’s, though fans may have to.
