Game Notes
- Thompson on 10/25 loss to San Antonio Spurs: “That was a good wake up call for us; we realize it’s a long season…it’s time to take every game seriously.”
- The focus for Kerr will be on ironing out his rotation and erasing the simple errors that plagued the Warriors’ opener. During video review Wednesday morning, he put the previous night’s shellacking into perspective for his players: “You’d rather make mistakes now and be perfect in May and June.”– Connor Letourneau, San Francisco Chronicle
- The Warriors are too smart and too good to let this continue without major fixes; last night was a shock to the system and a reminder that the NBA isn’t a walk-over league. — Tim Kawakami, The Mercury News
- An uncharacteristic lack of effort and physicality is what stood out to Steve Kerr. “Tape doesn’t lie,” Kerr said. “We didn’t box out numerous players where we got a stop and everybody just looked up at the ball and the rim, instead of putting a body on somebody and then chasing the ball down.” — Anthony Slater, The Mercury News
- Durant on Davis: “It’s hard to defend him, you can’t, his first step I’ve seen, for is one of the quickest for his position… he’s doing just about anything out there on the court”- Anthony Slater
