Andre Iguodala is having fun on his new team. After playing for eight seasons in a Philadelphia 76ers uniform, Iguodala played in a Golden State Warriors’ uniform for the first time in Philadelphia yesterday. He played freely and fluidly in his return to Philadelphia, and he had 32 points in 33 minutes and made a career-high seven three-pointers in 11 attempts.

“It was almost kind of like a high school game, where you get it going and you just can’t miss,” Iguodala said about his hot shooting last night.

After starting off the season by beating the Los Angeles Lakers last night at home, the Golden State Warriors head out to Staples Center to take on the Los Angeles Clippers tonight. This game will feature two of the best teams in the Western Conference.

Last season, the Warriors beat the Clippers three out of the four times they played. The Warriors also had a 19-22 record on the road last season, which tied them for fourth-best road record in the Western Conference.

In a conversation with ESPN’s Chris Broussard, Stephen Curry was asked which NBA players he watched the most in order to develop his own game. Obviously, Curry learned a lot from his father, Dell Curry, who played 16 seasons in the NBA. Stephen clearly got the shooting gene, since his father was quite the three-point shooter when he was in the NBA. Dell shot above 40 percent from three in nine of his last 11 seasons in the NBA. He also shot 40.19 percent from three over his career, which is tied for 30th in NBA history.

The Golden State Warriors got off to a rough start in the preseason, but they are finally starting to look like the team that the front office, the coaching staff, and the fans had envisioned in the offseason.

It’s apparent that the acquisition of Andre Iguodala has vastly transformed this team. His presence has elevated the Warriors from a low-seeded playoff team to a legitimate title contender in the Western Conference. His play in the Warriors’ last preseason game on Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers in Shanghai was so impressive that everyone can now see why Iguodala was the missing piece of the puzzle for the Warriors.
