The Golden State Warriors are ready to kick things off on Tuesday with their first game of the 2025-26 NBA season against the LA Lakers. Fans are excited to welcome the new campaign as the Warriors have announced their starting lineup for Opening Night against the Luka Doncic-led team.Golden State is starting the season with stars Steph Curry, Brandin Poziemski, Jimmy Butler, Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green. The team has opted to start Kuminga over the newest member of the squad, Al Horford. Many thought the five-time All-Star would be part of the Opening Night starting lineup, given the chemistry he showed with the rest of the team.The big man joined Golden State over the summer, signing a two-year, $12 million deal after he wasn't brought back by the Boston Celtics. After fans saw the team's decision to have Kuminga start over Horford, they couldn't help but get thrilled. Here are some of what the fans said."Lakers fans shaking in fear rn," a fan said.yzyus @yzyusxLINK@LakeShowYo Lakers fans shaking in fear rn"Smart move tbh.

Their starting lineup with Curry, Butler and Green alone features three players over 35 years old. Adding Horford, who's 39, it gives the team an interesting dynamic this season.Even with that, former NBA player Stephen Jackson believes that having an old linuep could lead them to winning the championship this season. “I want to go on record saying this to the world, the Warriors can win the championship. This lineup I’m about to say is the best lineup in the league this year. Steph at the one, Jimmy at the two, Kuminga at the three, Draymond at the four, Horford at the five.”The lineup with the Dominican basketball star allows Green to play power forward instead of matching up against bigger opponents as the center. Also, Horford's passing can open up the floor for Curry, Butler and Kuminga.Fans are looking forward to seeing what Golden State can show this season.
