It’s pretty hard to believe that the two NorCal opponents have never faced off in the Western Conference playoffs, not even once. With only about 90 miles distance between the two franchises, Golden State and Sacramento looks to be the most intriguing series matchup in the first round. So intriguing that tickets for the first playoff game in Sacramento since 2006 are going as low as $427 (I understand how sarcastic that sounds).

Just a week after the Warriors won the franchise’s 7th championship, it’s right back to the drawing board for Bob Myers and the rest of the front office. Golden State has the 28th pick in the 1st round of the 2022 NBA Draft as well as both the 51st and 55th pick in the 2nd round. The basketball grind truly never stops.
