After the All-Star Weekend, the Warriors' first opponent was the Supersonic.
In the Supersonic team, severely aging in its personnel structure, the youngest player in the starting lineup is Yao Ming, who will be turning thirty-two this summer.
And in two months, Kevin Garnett will turn thirty-six...
He remains, within the Supersonic team, the player whose performance in the regular season so far is second only to Yao Ming.
This season, Yao Ming averages 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.
Garnett averages 15.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game.
Looking solely at this pair of indomitable inside towers...
The Supersonic still seems like the Supersonic.
After all, this team, led by Rick Carlisle, has a tradition of coasting during the regular season and then exploding in the playoffs.
But compared to the past...
This season, even the most devout Supersonic fans probably harbor no expectations for this aging team.
