- Draymond on Cavs: “Nobody’s throwing in the towel or panicking saying we need to make a trade” [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ev0tKHMfLjE&w=560&h=315]
- Draymond: “I’m pissed w/ every loss…It don’t matter if it’s against the Cavs or my high school team” [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4pZmrrBMew&w=560&h=315]
- “They’re even more dangerous. They’re even more dangerous than they were last year and that’s pretty hard to say because they were a damn great team last year and they’re even better this year.” — James via Chris Fedor, The Plain Dealer
- “So . . . things change, and they can change quickly and dramatically. Momentum, injuries, suspension . . . stuff happens.” The Cavaliers, underdogs last season, made an epic comeback that shed lifted spirits throughout Northern Ohio. They shed the ghosts of Cleveland failures past. They want another championship, just because. The Warriors want to prove that they not only have the best record in the league but also are capable of thriving despite the burden of being favored, as they were last season, to win it all. — Monte Poole, CSN Bay Area
