Potential and team situation:
The basketball players from Oakland have a tough season ahead of them. Mark Jackson, a former player of Indiana Pacers together with Reggie Miller, and a current head coach of the Golden State, did not wait for the team reinforcements. The club, which throughout its history won the NBA championship three times, since 2004 has not even advanced to the phase of the playoffs. And there still have not been any successors of Wilt Chamberlain and Rick Barry. Judging from the first two matches, where GS showed two different faces, it seems that the Warriors’ game will be based on a trio Ellis - Lee - Curry the same as the last year. Despite the victory over the Bulls there is a strong imbalance between the Oakland players at both low and high positions, this can be proved by the fact that the GS players lost the classification match against Chicago (36:47).
The entire league watched the situation in the Big Apple with a great interest. Mike D'Antoni, who coached the team in the 2008/2009 season, finally received a long-awaited reinforcement. Along with the new names, there came hope, as well as more pressure that will accompany the Knicks basketball players. Turiaf, Carter and Billups as well as several other players said goodbye to the Madison Square Garden, but they were replaced by the 11 new players. The Syracuse university graduate and the former star of the Denver Nuggets - Carmelo Anthony - is certainly a number 1 transfer in the NBA this year. This is thanks to the excellent assistance of Carmelo / Stademayer that Knicks won over Celtics. The average action in the attack, but the excellent defense by Tyson Chandler, who changed Dallas Mavericks (6 block shots) for the team from New York. Injured Shumpert (11 points in the game against Boston) will undoubtedly be a loss for the New York team, together with Tony Douglas (19 points) he supported the team leaders.

History of the meetings:
While during the previous seasons Golden State was leading in the games against the Knicks, this season they will swap roles. But nevertheless, the statistics are in favour of the Warriors, which have won 7 out of 10 previous matches against the Knicks. The fact that the last fight between the teams in Oakland ended in victory for the New York, 119-125, can be a good sign.

Tips and justification:
Both teams have small squads. Although Golden State won in a beautiful style over Chicago, this victory does not mean that the Warriors will be the leaders of the NBA. We think that this team will not join the Top 8 in their conference. New York has the huge expectations for Carmelo, who showed that he deserves to be trusted in the very first match. The guests will play without the two key players: Baron Davis and Iman Shumpert, they may have trouble stopping Mark Jackson’s players under the basket. We bet on the victory of the team from New York.
