Suns Vs. Warriors: Game preview, TV time, starting lineups and more

The Phoenix Suns open up their regular season by welcoming the Golden State Warriors into America West Arena. It's the official beginning of the post Steve Nash era for the Suns. Head coach Alvin Gentry has turned the reigns of the offense over to point guard Goran Dragic, who is back in Phoenix after a year and a half with the Houston Rockets.

Dragic isn't the only newcomer looking to make a good impression on the home crowd. Newcomers Luis Scola and Michael Beasley join Dragic in the front court. Shooting guard Jared Dudley to Suns.com that he sees Dragic as the leader of the team.

"I thought him leaving, going to Houston and starting has helped his confidence, helped his maturity," swingman Jared Dudley said. "He definitely is the face of the franchise now. It's his show."

Warriors: PG: Jarret Jack, SG - Klay Thompson, SF - Harrison Barnes, PF - David Lee, C - Festus Ezeli
