Watch: Inside Warriors Media Day Event At Chase Center
The Golden State Warriors didn’t win the title last season, but they plan to go really big this season. They have a completely different roster, new jerseys and a new building. The Warriors will play their first game at Chase Center on Saturday. They are having their first preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The team had Media Day on Monday and they answered questions from media members.
The Golden State will have the first regular season game on Thursday, Oct. 24 against the Los Angeles Clippers.
“This is such a dramatic change from where we’ve been over the last four years that I think it allows for more change, more internal evaluation, what can we do better,” Kerr said of the 2019-20 team. “You know, the new building is almost a metaphor for how we can approach the season. We’ve got a chance to reset some things. Anything we feel like could improve our team, it’s a great opportunity to start fresh on some things.
“We want to maintain the culture that we’ve built, but we want to make sure our players are put in the best position to succeed, and the last four years we pretty much knew exactly what that meant. We don’t really know what it means this year. That’s why we have a lot of work ahead, but it’s exciting. I’m looking forward to it.”
Warriors players are more than thrilled to hit the new floor.
“It’s like being a new kid at school,” said Willie Cauley-Stein, entering his first season with the Warriors after spending the previous four years in Sacramento. “You get to write your own narrative. You get to change habits that you had before and kind of take on a whole, entirely different entity.”
Steph Curry will play without Durant and Thompson at the beginning, but he knows his job.
“At the end of the day, it’s just about continuing to do the things that help me be successful and helped me lead teams in the past, and it’s just a level of awareness and trying to be as proactive as possible trying to make everyone comfortable building chemistry and leading by example,” Curry said. “I don’t have to change much in that respect.”
