as their only bankable star, Antworten

NEW ORLEANS -- Theres no question which was the bigger shocker on opening night: the Golden State Warriors losing their home opener by 29 points to the San Antonio Spurs or the New Orleans Pelicans wasting a superhuman, 50-point, 16-rebound, seven-steal, four-block performance by Anthony Davis in a 107-102 home loss to Denver.The Warriors won that bar bet -- or actually lost it -- hands down.The new-look Warriors, with the gaudy addition of All-Star forward Kevin Durant, were not supposed to be 0-1 after going 39-2 on their home court last year en route to an NBA-record 73 regular-season victories.The Pelicans, with Davis as their only bankable star, were supposed to find creative ways to lose, and they came through with a whopper, squandering a stat line unique in NBA history.The two 0-1 teams will face each other Friday night at the Smoothie King Center, and they will be searching for early-season redemption.It was a slap in the face, Durant said after scoring 27 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in the loss to San Antonio. Woke us up a bit.Davis said after his 50-point opener -- only the third 50-point performance in an NBA season opener since 1963-64 -- that he expects to play as many minutes as Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry needs him to play, but he added he was due for a massage.Carrying the load of a lightweight roster may get pretty heavy, but Davis said no one is shedding tears for him. And, now, the wounded Warriors await.After what happened a few nights ago, we know that theyre going to come in hungry for a win, Davis said. Weve just got to come out prepared knowing those guys are going to take some bad shots and make them go in. Weve got to stay composed and not let that kill our spirit and let the momentum go to them.Gentry saw the Pelicans give up 60 first-half points against Denver before settling in and being more physical in the second half. He knows Golden State, for whom he coached as an assistant in 2014-15, will be looking to push the ball.Transition defense is going to be the key, Gentry said. Youve got to keep those guys out of the paint. The drive and kick is what they live on, spotting up at the 3-point line. People have to help on drives, and then they kick the ball and hit 3-point shots.This is the first of a three-game road trip for Golden State. The Warriors -- like the Pelicans -- were embarrassed on the boards in their opener, losing the battle to San Antonio 55-35, including a 21-8 edge on the offensive glass. In six of their nine regular-season losses last year, the Warriors were outrebounded. That was the case in seven of their nine postseason losses last year.Golden State also pushed the pace against San Antonio but committed 16 turnovers, which led to 17 Spurs points.For all their talent in one locker room, the Warriors still need continuity. They are breaking in six new players, including two new starters, Durant and center Zaza Pachulia.People dont value continuity enough, Golden State GM Bob Myers said. Its just so important -- experience together, continuity together. We will get there, but were not there now. People may rear back at that kind of comment, but its OK not to be a finished product in October. Nike React Sale . Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six. Kuemper made five saves in the first, nine in the second, and nine in the third. The rookies best save came with 2:17 left in the third period when he denied former Wild forward Matt Cullen from just outside of the crease on the right side.

Free-agent point guard Brandon Jennings will work out for the Brooklyn Nets on Friday morning at UCLA, according to a league source.Jennings, 26, averaged 6.9 points and 3.5 assists while playing for Detroit and Orlando last season.The Magic acquired Jennings and forward Ersan Ilyasova?in February through a trade in which they sent forward Tobias Harris to Detroit?as part of a larger plan to make a major push for free agents this summer.Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said in April that the team hoped to add veterans during the offseason, and Orlando could have generated up to $46 million in cap space for July by waiving Ilyasova and renouncing its cap hold on Jennings along with other free agents.A six--year veteran, Jennings, 26, spent the first four seassons of his career with the Milwaukee Bucks, who made him the ninth overall pick in the 2009 draft.dddddddddddd.Jennings flashed brilliance in Milwaukee before enduring injury--riddled stints with the Pistons and Magic.
