[Slater] The Warriors had seven of nine on the road to open the season: “We looked at it and said we gotta get through that stretch. We did more than that. We’re 6-3, 5-2 on the road.” Eight of next 10 at home. Steve Kerr noted the practice time they’ll finally have.

After losing to Suns in the opener, I was looking at coming back 5-4 would be great given our away woes last season.
Being 6-3 is more than great to me.
But we open our home stand with another back to back against land of Giants too, brutal schedule indeed.
why the hell are we playing the cavs again, minnesota twice and then we see okc for the second and third time? i get it’s at home but it’s basically guaranteed that we’ll lose at least one of these games just due to the plain fact that it’s a mini playoff series and teams will adjust
Good point. Were we not practicing in between these first 9 game?
The back-to-back against Cavs & Twolves will be tough. Hoping Chase brings our boys some extra juice
6-3 is a good start lot’s to be happy about lot’s to work on though but some good signs.
Steve Kerr is more reasonable than the casuals on this sub, who would’ve thought /s
Joke of a schedule when we take into account that neither minny nor okc is going to be even slightly disadvantaged since they get to settle in and play a double-header.
Warriors have practically been living on the plane, playing singles. Meanwhile the homestand mitigates natural advantages
From now till Jan 10th, dubs play all their games in PST timezone except for 3 games in MST (PHX 11/22, 12/12 and DEN 12/25)
The bench was all plus against the Nugs starters, that practice time is only going to enrich that chemistry.
A helluva lot better than starting 0-6 on the road last season
I appreciate him putting this in perspective. Sometimes you forget these dudes literally haven’t had a second to breathe between games.
All things considered. Great start to the year
we got absolutely fucked by the schedule and this outcome is better than expected
