The Warriors, meanwhile, have gotten off to a hot start to begin the season and are one of the top teams in the West.Source: HoopsHype What’s the buzz on Twitter?

As a sports enthusiast from the United States, my passion for sports goes beyond mere entertainment—it is a way of life. I am particularly drawn to the "Big Five" European football leagues: the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1.
