Game Notes
- “You can see how much work we have ahead,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. “We’ve got talent, but talent is not going to be enough. We have to be smart, we have to be tough, we have to just grow as a team.”– Connor Letourneau, San Francisco Chronicle
- Asked what nits he would pick after a 122-114 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night, Warriors superstar Stephen Curry met the question head-on. “My list is long,” he said in the visitor’s locker room at Smoothie King Center. “Y’all don’t have enough time for that.” That’s Curry, realizing he’s still searching for his “zone” while the team is seeking its bearings and knowing things will take off when he does. — Monte Poole, CSN Bay Area
- While one doesn’t want to overreact after two games, the Warriors’ defense looks, at this point, unrecognizable. Whether that’s due to a lack of rim protection or a lack of comfort, the Warriors must improve on that flaw. When and if they do, they are sure to get very little credit for the feat. For this team, meeting expectations might be a lot easier in theory than in practice. — Ethan Sherwood Strauss, ESPN
