At long lat the NBA season schedule is set and the Golden State Warriors will be featured on national television much more than they have been in previous seasons.
The W's will have 17 nationally televised games during this shortened season, taking on marquee teams with almost every matchup. Warriors fans will be delighted to hear only two (that's right two) of those 17 games will be played away from Oracle as America looks on with faded breath as to how Mark Jackson will do in his first year as a coach. Oracle also translates very well on TV as it is usually a rather raucous, energetic crowd with good seating that is almost always full, something big-wigs at the networks undoubtedly understood.
Here are the Warriors nationally televised games for the 2011-12 season (all times Pacific):
