Golden State Warriors

After a sluggish start, Rod Brooks argues that the Golden State Warriors are starting to play the type of defense that made them a championship contender the last two seasons.

Draymond Green is making a conscious effort not to argue with the referees this year, but is upset that he’s still being issued technical fouls for passionate play

Steve Kerr drew up the first play of the Warriors vs. the Thunder as a shot for Steph Curry. And that was the plan…until Draymond Green decided to change it.

In the first quarter of Thursday’s game, Jerami Grant posterized Kevin Durant and then decided it would be a good idea to talk trash to the All-Pro. Turns out, it wasn’t.

Kevin Durant was asked to comment on his brief altercation with former teammate Enes Kanter after the Warriors blew out the Thunder by nearly 30. The humble superstar definitely didn’t waste the opportunity to clown Kanter.

It’s been a slow start to the season for Klay Thompson. The All-Star is averaging less than 20 per game, and .107% from beyond the arc.

Kevin Durant has been giving all the right answers leading up to his first matchup with the franchise he spend the first nine years of his career playing for. “If you win, that takes care of everything,” Durant said Thursday morning. “Play hard, have fun man that’s all I can do, and the results will dictate themselves.”

Steve Kerr joined the Murph and Mac Show on Wednesday and said that despite the sluggish start, the Warriors defense finally started to click in Tuesday’s win over Portland.

For the first time since he joined the Warriors, Kevin Durant will play his former team Thursday night when Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder travel to Oakland.

Warriors beat writer Anthony Slater joined the Murph and Mac Show on Tuesday morning and said that Klay Thompson’s early season struggles aren’t necessarily a bad sign for Golden State.
