As a California transplant living in Denver, the match-up in the Western Conference between the Nuggets and the Golden State Warriors is arguably the one I watch the closest. Maybe it was because it was the first big game on national TV, perhaps it was because Allen Iverson is leaving for Detroit but Chauncey Billups isn't quite available for the Nuggets yet, or maybe (just maybe...), the Warriors made a triumphant return to the guerrilla-style hit-and-run basketball that has been so prevolent over the last few years. Sure, there's still issues with Al Harington demanding a trade (get RID of this guy, he's bumming everyone out and his shot average has gone down significantly), Monta still isn't back, but this is a solid team that is going to compete.
