Given the hype and the hatred towards Kevin Durant for signing for the Golden State Warriors it was unsurprising to see Twitter delight in their opening night defeat to San Antonio.
Meanwhile, in Cleveland, it was party time for LeBron James….

Durant didn't only damage the NBA with his trade, he damaged the GSW too. Lost their chemistry & style. Cavs will repeat #SpursVsWarriors

News Flash: The Golden State Warriors, to me, are not as good as last year's team because of their defense and their bench.
