Warriors fail to see humor in LeBron's Halloween party
LeBron's James' much talked about Halloween party may have generated a fair amount laughter around the league, but the Golden State Warriors weren't among those who found humor in the four-time MVP's unique decorations.
The Warriors took specific exception to a bass drum head that had "3-1 Lead" written on it, saying that they'll use it to motivate them this season.
"More power to them," Draymond Green told ESPN's Chris Haynes. "I already got enough fuel. I don't need more. Enjoy."
"It is what it is," Shaun Livingston added. "All it is is more fuel for the fire. That's it. We're not going to say, 'All, that's great, we like it.' But it is what it is. It's part of the sport."
Kevin Durant - one of the few rotation players not on last year's roster - had no issue with the decorations, saying he realizes where both sides are coming from.
"I wasn't here last year but I obviously know from being on the team, you don't want to see nothing like that (from Cavs)," he said. "Me personally, it's just jokes because you still have to play. Just like I'm sure there were so many jokes that went on about Cleveland and LeBron over the years, and you still have to play on the court. So none of that s--t matters until you duke it out on the court."
The Warriors will have the chance to get revenge on Christmas Day, when they face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first of two regular season matchups.
