NBA, Turner Sports Step into Virtual Reality

“It’s tough, but we’ve got to put that aside and make sure we’re ready to go”.

Will anyone be able to unseat the Golden State Warriors atop the Pacific Division in the 2015-16 season? Under normal circumstances it would have been hard keeping all these players together under the salary cap, but the luxury tax is going to be a one-year punishment, with the huge salary cap surge the owners and the league are still trying to prevent from happening next summer.

One of the enduring memories for Golden State Warriors fans last season came when assistant coach Alvin Gentry lightened up the mood in practice before an eventual title-clinching National Basketball Association Finals win in Game 6 by throwing down a dunk.

In the finals previous year Andre Iguoudala moved into the starting lineup and was very effective but the Warriors are expected to go with their usual starting lineup of Barnes and Klay Thompson on the wings to start this season.

The Pelicans start off against the same opponent that ended their season and they have reigning MVP Stephen Curry to contend with.

So we’re definitely at the “see-what-we-can-do-with-virtual-reality” stage of virtual reality. If you break down the term most valuable player – it does not mean the best player on the best team. NextVR, which counts Warriors co-owner Peter Guber among its investors, has previously streamed virtual reality videos of a NASCAR race, the U.S. Open golf tournament and a Coldplay concert.

“He’s been coming around more and more each day, it’s great having him around, the energy level is awesome, he knows the ideal thing to say when it needs to be said”. They [the Cavaliers] lost it because of injuries.

“It’ll be good to get the ring, but we’re focused, locked in on the task ahead, which is a completely different task”, Green said.

As well as a 3-1 regular-season series triumph over Chicago last season, the Cavaliers, who finished with a 53-29 record, were too good in the Eastern Conference semifinals, winning the series 4-2 over the Bulls. “That’s the difference knowing your team and he had that 15-second read on that team”. And the critics who said the Warriors’ reliance on defense, ball movement and long 3-pointers – emphasis on long – have changed their tune to “It worked previous year, but it won’t work again”. Top on this space’s list is Utah Jazz big man Rudy Golbert who already showed promise past year with his defensive skills.

As mentioned, there are quite a few inside jokes used that really only the Golden State Warriors players would get, but Bleacher Report was kind enough to explain them in detail.
