Eagles on Saturday following Teddy Bridgewaters season-ending knee in

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Andrew Bogut and Harrison Barnes return to the site of last years ultimate failure in the NBA Finals when the Dallas Mavericks visit the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.Bogut and Barnes were members of the Golden State team that won a championship in 2014-15 and came within one victory of a repeat last June against the Cleveland Cavaliers.The two frontcourt starters were salary-cap casualties in the wake of the runner-up finish when the Warriors exhausted basically all available funds on signing free agent Kevin Durant away from the Oklahoma Thunder for $54.3 million over two years.Bogut was dealt to the Mavericks in July in a swap of future second-round picks, with Dallas agreeing to absorb the remaining $11 million on the veteran centers contract.Bogut, the anchor of Golden States defense in recent years, contributed an average of 5.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 blocks to the Warriors cause last season.Just seven games into the new year, Warriors holdover Draymond Green assured Monday night that Bogut is missed.Defense is just like offense; its a chemistry thing, Green told reporters after Mondays 116-106 home victory over New Orleans. Last year we had Bogut back there protecting the rim. Hes one of the best at that -- maybe even THE best. Now we have Zaza (Pachulia). Hes a good positional player, but hes different. Its something we have to adjust to.Barnes, who averaged 11.7 points per game for the Warriors last season, has been replaced in the starting lineup by Durant. The former Golden State first-round pick got a four-year, $94.4 million contract from the Mavericks shortly after it became clear the Warriors were moving in a different direction.I had a great experience at Golden State, Barnes told reporters over the summer when asked what returning to Oakland as a visiting player would be like. They were a first-class organization. The fans there were great. It wont be anything bitterness or anything like that.Barnes already is thriving in a new system. Hes scored in double figures in every game, including 31 for the second time this season in Tuesdays 109-97 victory over the Lakers in Los Angeles, and has also scored 34 en route to a 22.3-point average.He never scored more than 21 for the Warriors last season, and was held to fewer than 10 points on 24 different occasions.While Barnes has been a boost for the Mavericks, so has Durant for the Warriors. He has topped 20 points in all seven games, running his streak of 20 or more points to 71 straight contests.For the second game in a row, the Warriors will be seeing an opponent thats at far less than full strength.With Dirk Nowitzki (Achilles), Deron Williams (calf) and Devin Harris (toe) all nursing injuries, the Mavericks (2-5) lost their first five games before getting into the win column Sunday night with an overtime triumph over Milwaukee.Dallas made it two straight Tuesday with their 11th consecutive victory over Los Angeles behind a strong performance from JJ Barea, who recorded 18 points, eight assists and seven rebounds.The Warriors (5-2) are coming off a win over a Pelicans team that was without Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans. Stephen Curry set an NBA record with 13 3-pointers in the victory.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Jill Rankin Schneider no longer has to wonder what its like being at the Olympics, even if shell never know the feeling of actually competing in the games.She was a member of the second U.S. Olympic womens basketball team. But when America boycotted the 1980 Moscow Games, the Olympic window for Schneider -- and many others -- closed.Now Schneider is at the Rio de Janeiro Games working with FIBA thanks to an assist from USA Basketball.This has really been a great experience, Schneider said Sunday after the U.S. routed China 105-62 in womens basketball.FIBA always has someone at each Olympics as an observer who compiles a report for the competition committee. With men and women playing games at separate arenas through the first nine days at the Rio Games, USA Basketball got a call looking for a recommendation.Carol Callan, USA Basketballs director of the national womens team, thought of Schneider.Jill has been doing a lot for us, Callan said. She was a youth 17 national team coach, an Olympian and sort of a nice twist to all of this of course is she was an Olympian when the boycott occurred. So when we asked her to go, it just seemed like a special fit because it gave her an opportunity that she didnt have before.Schneider had never attended the Olympics. Not because of any grudge involving the 1980 boycott. The games simply seemed from another world to Schneider.It was like the Olympics were this huge event you watched on TV, said Schneider. I dont know if I ever envisioned myself bbeing at one.ddddddddddddThat doesnt mean Schneider, now 58, has completely moved past any bitterness from 1980.Every Summer Olympics, its almost like you relive it because people ask about it, Schneider said. Newspapers at home, TV at home, they always want to talk about it and ask about it and just naturally you think about it. What it wouldve been like to be at the opening ceremonies? What it wouldve been like to really play at the Olympics.Schneider helped the University of Tennessee reach the AIAW national championship game, but after the boycott, she turned to coaching. She was inducted into the Womens Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008 and has coached at Lubbock-Monterey High School in Texas since 1998. She also teaches college algebra.Schneider has been at every womens basketball game in group play and will be at every game in the medal round. She also has gotten to see some rugby sevens, equestrian and shooting near the basketball arena.She also stood for The Star-Spangled Banner at five games won by the Americans, though just off the edge of the court itself.Its kind of nice to be here and get a sense of what it wouldve been like, Schneider said. Of course, it was how many years ago? It was 1980, but its always just something, that lingering kind of disappointment I didnt get to experience it as a player.---Online:AP Summer Games website: http://summergames.ap.org/ ' ' '
