You are locked on Warriors, your daily Golden State Warriors podcast. I am Danny Lur, your host,

and so happy to bring you your team every day. The Warriors start out the season with a surprising

loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The building was shocked, as they should be, considering what happened,

and it was a dominant San Antonio performance, but still plenty of positives to look at from

Golden State's perspective. So I had Adam Lordson of the San Jose Mercury News's fast break blog on,

and we had a nice conversation about it, and I also spliced in some audio from the postgame

from both Coach Kerr and Kevin Durant. So I hope you like that as well. Conversation runs about 25 minutes.

Thanks so much for coming on.

Thanks for having me.

Certainly different than expected.

I mean, there are a lot of different kind of avenues to go with this game.

And I was wondering from your vantage point, what's the biggest takeaway from game one?

Just surprise all around.

I was in the stands as a fan tonight, not in any sort of media seat.

And everybody was just sort of in disbelief because there kept on being these pushes

where you felt like the warriors were finally going to get over the hump and put

something together.

And the spurs just kept blowing it up and kept frustrating them, and the Warriors seemed as stunned

as anyone. So whether we chalk it up to sort of early season jitters, a learning experience,

or some deeper fundamental issues they have to work on, the Warriors did not play the way

I think they as a team expected to play tonight.

Yeah, there were moments in this game that felt a lot like when you see a good team come together
