You can tell Draymond nervous about the Spurs just based off his comment.

Actually, Curry probably isn't aware that the Spurs aren't the favorites to win it all according to Bovada, the Cavaliers are.
Curry is probably referring to teams like the Spurs, Clippers, and Rockets who have all re-tooled:
Draymond Green was interviewed on KNBR 680AM: http://www.knbr.com/2015/08/13/green-warriors-already-have-chip-on-shoulders/We obviously are the champs, and you’ve got to think that we’re gonna be a better team next year with our experiences that we’ve had, and we’re not the favorites,” “Obviously there’s been a lot of noise, teams retooling and trying to boost their lineups. You have teams that haven’t set foot on the floor yet and are heavily favored to kick us off our throne.” “We obviously know what’s going on,” Curry said. “And it’s up to us to keep our momentum that we built.“
We’re the defending champs and everybody is counting us out already after the moves the Spurs made.

They would've have even won the championship had CLE not been hurt. 6 games to eliminate Dellavadova. Crofl.
To me that just shows their compe ive spirit. They consider themselves the best team in basketball, not being the favorites is kind of a motivation. If you think about it, the Spurs have not really been the favorite the past few years either. They are just classy and don't brag, or talk about it in a pompous fashion. The Warriors, on the other hand, love the attention. They really didn't win in a convincing fashion. They had a healthy and talented team and faced a host of injured and hobbled teams. Spurs really are their bugaboo.
Warriors think they should be favorites...how ridiculous
Spurs living rent-free in Draymond and Kerr's heads, tbh..
Well, until some team takes them out, they are the favorites.
Everyone seems to stay with the Spurs on their mind for some odd reason.
Yes. Steve Kerr is smart. He started the whole "spurs are the favorites" when he was interviewed at summer league in Vegas. By saying that, it puts less pressure on the Warriors to repeat, and gives them the underdog tag. But in reality, they are the favorites according to many nba analysts and vegas oddsmakers. They're young, they have the reigning MVP Curry, another splash brother in Thompson and most importantly they have the experience as a group to win it all again.
They deserve to be favorites. They don't have nearly as many weaknesses as the Spurs (bottom tier rotation player and an unproven postseason performer).
The Warriors need to manufacture some reason to stay hungry. Luckily Tim never cried about being an underdog in the press. The Warriors were also the only healthy team left standing. Bogut is made of glass and not too long ago people were saying the same of Curry. Would Curry have taken a healthy Cavs team to six games minus Klay and Green? Doubtful. I think Lebron is gonna have more bulletin board material from this than the Spurs.
CROFL at thinking their t*tle means they should be hailed as favorites for an actual le
Did you hear Charles Barkley on NBATV recently? He said the spurs weakness is their backcourt. He said they never upgraded. Although he did say Parker was still an "elite point guard."
I'm of the belief that Charles Barkley had a stroke ten years ago and nobody has noticed yet.
I have said in another thread I can relate to how the warriors and their fans feel about being disrespected. I remember being pissed off in the summer of '03 when the Lakers were crowned the favorites by the media after adding Malone and Payton.
He's absolutely terrified. He's going to have to be the guy who covers Aldridge when they play us...
I liked it better when he was humble and didn't say anything.
Warriors were able to fly under the radar last season. It's gonna be a lot harder this year. They're feeling the pressure already.
Alpha Iguodala will keep the team focused, just like he led them to a t*tle this year. Spursfan isn't getting off that easily
Stephanie sounds a little scared. They could very easily repeat...IF all their opponents lose their starting pg(again), and the cavs lose half their team to injury...go warriors
Tom Tolbert after interviewing Draymond Green for 21 minutes:
There's a part of me that's happy for the splash brothers...
But I had to laugh at the fact that Kerr had to "sell" Iguodala on coming off the bench as if he's all that. Dude's best days are way behind him.
And guess what, this hasn't been talked about in the national media just yet but Warriors beat writer, Ethan Strauss has implied that there's some tension between Iggy and Barnes. At the recent players' awards, Iggy didn't thank Barnes, who replaced him in the starting lineup. He said they aren't the best of friends either.
