OAKLAND, Calif. -- Kevin Durant came ready to play in his Golden State Warriors debut in front of a sold-out home audience, but his teammates didnt.Durant went for a team-high 27 points on 10-of-17 shooting in 37 minutes to go with 10 rebounds. He was the lone bright spot for the Warriors, who lost their season opener in blowout fashion to the San Antonio Spurs 129-100 on Tuesday night at Oracle Arena.Kevin is so good that hes going to look good in any setting with any group of four around him, said Warriors coach Steve Kerr. It wasnt about Kevin at all. It wasnt about one particular player; it was about the group.Durant scored Golden States first field goal of the season with a fadeaway jumper over the smaller Tony Parker, and that was just the beginning.Durant was patient from the onset, as he contemplated when to be aggressive. But when he did attack, he couldnt be stopped. He connected on his first four shots, and his fourth was a 3-pointer from the right wing that got the fans up on their feet. Immediately after draining the trey, he slapped the left side of his hip.He was feeling it, but the same couldnt be said about his supporting cast.Im sure the story tomorrow will be, KD broke up the chemistry and we cant win with KD, and all these other things which is going to come with the territory, Warriors forward?Draymond Green said following the loss. Were looking forward to that. We already know thats coming.The Warriors were outperformed in multiple facets of the game, resulting in an 18-point deficit at the half. They struggled to get consecutive defensive stops and were unable to put together a legitimate comeback. Meanwhile, the Spurs just continued to pile on.?Its a nice little slap in the face, Golden State guard?Stephen Curry said, after registering 26 points and burying three treys.Durant agreed, saying, Its a slap in the face. It woke us up a bit, and were looking forward to getting better.The Spurs were the aggressors, killing the Warriors on the glass 55-35 -- including 21-8 on the offensive boards. Second-chance points also went in favor of the Spurs, 26-4. The Spurs bench outscored Golden States 54-16, led by Jonathon Simmons, who produced a career-high 20 points.We let Simmons come in and destroy us in the first half, and he continued it in the second half. No disrespect to him, but you cant let guys like that come off the bench and get 20, Green explained. Its hard to win like that. I dont care where youre at.Aside from Durant and Curry, the rest of the team was 20-for-50 from the floor. Overall, Golden State was 7-of-33 from 3-point range.Theres a lot of energy in the building. It was a lot before the game, Durant said. Guys may have been a little tense, but hey, thats NBA basketball.Green and Klay Thompson missed point-blank layups, and multiple careless passes equated to 16 turnovers. There was a lackadaisical approach all night from the Warriors, and Kerr took full responsibility for it.I didnt have them ready to play, obviously, the coach said. I think the guys were embarrassed tonight. I know I was.Durant was also active defensively, swatting away two shot attempts at the rim. Spurs forward David Lee was on the receiving end of one of those blocks in the first quarter. He had Durant in the post and tried to shoot over him, but Durant sent his shot into the front-row seats.The crowd erupted with cheers, and Durant let Lee hear about it with a little trash talk. If the one-time MVP was nervous prior to tipoff, it didnt show. The excitement level was enormous from the onset, but it quickly subsided as the game went along. Golden State failed to sustain any sort of momentum, and it cost the team on national television.The Warriors won an NBA-record 73 games last season. Adding a superstar talent such as Durant only intensifies expectations. The Warriors have stressed that theyre up for this mammoth task.We cant panic, Durant said. Obviously, its Game 1 of 82, but we definitely have to get better.And although Durant played well on Tuesday, from here on out, eyes will be fixated on his presence to see if hes more of a hindrance or a positive addition.[Durants] adjusted well, Curry said. Our offense wasnt really an issue tonight, I dont think. We have to shore up the other end. T.J. Watt Jersey . Paul Pierce couldnt believe he missed at the end. Young scored a season-high 26 points to spark a huge effort from the leagues most productive bench, and Los Angeles beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-94 on Wednesday night after blowing a 27-point lead. Authentic Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.cheapsteelersjerseysonline.com/?tag=juju-smith-schuster-jersey-online . -- The Missouri Tigers might not have a roster full of superstars. Joshua Dobbs Jersey . Fred Couples, captain of the U.S. side, put it all into perspective. "We know whos in charge," he said. L.C. Greenwood Jersey .
