Don’t Freak Out, Warriors Fans

Golden State Warriors fans should not freak out after what transpired on opening night at Oracle Arena. However, it should be a reminder – it’s not going to be as easy as you thought it will be. Well, maybe it will. It’s just going to take some time for that to happen.

We saw the potential in spurts. For example, when Stephen Curry hit back-to-back shots and then found Kevin Durant for a wide open dunk in the second quarter. It’s there. The talent is there. It’s just going to take some time for it all to come together – just like it took time for the Miami Heat, and every other super team, to click.

Take a deep breathe, Warriors fans. It will be OK.
