Now kind of quiet. Last time we were here was four months ago. We were courtside, and we watched as the warriors lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the nba finals, and from that utter disappointment the warriors have been able to turn that into excitement and enthusiasm with the signing of kevin durant in free agency. One of the most coveted free agencies in nba history, so the warriors are going to feature two mvps in their lineup with durant and steph curry, as amazing as that sounds. This team ultimately may end up winning multiple championships, but steph curry said today its not going to be that easy. Theres going to be growing pains throughout the whole season, some you might see as glaring issues and some might not appear as issues that we feel we need to work on as we go through it. I dont want to get wrapped up in sending messages game one. Reporter i saw the cutest little scene yesterday. Two little boys, one 7p, one about 10, and on the back of their warriors shirts one had curry and one had durant, so they were walking off, and thats the way it may be for pyears to come as warrior fans stock up on merchandise.

D. reporter but dont tell kevin durant theres anything too special to this game. Game one with his new team.

It was just another chance to step between the lines and do what i love, you know, not put too much pressure on myself to go out there and be great. Hello. Go warriors.
