No pressure for Warriors: Kerr

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr said his players will take a pressure-free approach to the new season yesterday morning (Singapore time) as they chase a fourth NBA title in what could be their final campaign together.

Kerr said that, with the prospect of his phenomenally successful roster possibly breaking up next year, he would encourage the Warriors to enjoy themselves in the knowledge that their place in history was secure.

The Warriors clinched a third NBA title in four seasons in June with victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, the latest milestone in an era of dominance for the Bay Area franchise.

"We're playing with house money," Kerr said. "This might be the last time we have this current generation of Warriors, given all the free-agent situations in the future, so why not just go all out and enjoy every step of the way?" - AFP
