NBA 2016-17 Season: 8 must-watch matches you cannot afford to miss

#8 Golden State Warriors @ OKC Thunder, 11 February

Friends forever. Or not.

The prodigal son returns to Oklahoma in this matchup. If you thought LeBron was booed by Cleveland for leaving Miami, wait till you hear what one of the loudest arenas in sports has in store for Kevin Durant. Hell hath no fury like a team scorned when holding a 3-1 lead and having its superstar bolt for the opponent even though he had plenty of support.

By February, we will near the mid-point of the season, and teams will have had ample time to iron out the wrinkles of adjusting to new rosters. Make no mistake, Russell Westbrook probably has 11 February circled in a skull, and Chesapeake Arena is going to be sold out to welcome the hero-turned-heel.

At the same time, look for Kevin Durant to go supernova and remind his former team what he is still capable of doing. This match is by far the most anticipated encounters of the upcoming season.
