OAKLAND, Calif. -- Steve Kerr joked around on what became a post-mosh Monday, feeling some of the natural pressure before his Golden State Warriors get going at last with all the weight of trying to win another NBA championship on their star-studded shoulders.The reigning NBA Coach of the Year said he cut short practice given Kevin Durants jostling in the mosh pit at a Kanye West concert the previous evening.He got a great workout last night, Kerr said with a smile.Kanye performed at Oracle Arena, where KD will become THE show Tuesday night for the defending Western Conference champions. And MVP Stephen Curry, too, of course.We all have pressure. Thats a good thing, Kerr said Monday. The alternative is, `Maybe we can win 30 this year instead of 25. Who wants that? Unfortunately, a lot of the teams in the league have that, teams that are going through rebuilding stuff, and theyre trying to get where we are. So were in a really enviable position. We know how lucky we are to be together with this group. We understand the responsibility that comes with it, and thats fine. Its a good position to be in.A day away from his highly anticipated Warriors debut, Durant insisted he had no idea just how much daily interest Golden State would generate before the season even began.How much Durants every move would be intently watched -- whether it was his concert-going or riding the BART train to get around.I never had a chance to get to a show. I was always moving around, Olympics and traveling a lot, Durant said of attending Wests show. Im glad he came through here. I was telling all my friends. Ive always told them I wanted to get in a mosh pit. It was amazing.Durant had no concerns about anything going wrong with all those people in tight quarters.Im covered, man. Im covered by a higher power upstairs, no matter what happens, he said.Four months after squandering a 3-1 series lead and losing Game 7 of the NBA Finals to LeBron James and Cleveland, the Warriors are ready to start fresh without any thought on chasing the regular-season wins record they now hold at 73. They will host San Antonio and Kerrs former coach and mentor, Gregg Popovich, on Tuesday night.Its the Spurs, so it makes it even more fun, Kerr said.Golden State also will honor TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager, who is fighting leukemia, with a special T-shirt for all fans at the opener.Kerr has said all along Durant would need time to adjust.Hes light years beyond where he was three weeks ago, Kerr said. Hes embracing the chaos, for sure.With Durant and so many new players, Kerr still expects everything to take time before the Warriors really start clicking. Kerr wasnt even on the bench for last seasons opener, missing the initial 43 games and a record 24-0 start while dealing with complications from a pair of back surgeries.Next week might be even bigger for Durant, whose former Oklahoma City Thunder visit on Nov. 3. Golden State rallied from 3-1 down to beat OKC in the Western Conference Finals.Durants departure was a big deal. It still is.I think theyre just looking for something to grab onto and make it a story, Durant said. We understand that. Thats one thing I actually didnt understand coming in here. Everythings going to be taken and used as a headline. Its definitely a learning experience for me not used to all this coverage around a team. Thats just part of the job. Thats why we get paid the way we do and thats why we are who we are as players. Youre kind of prone to criticism.New center Zaza Pachulia got a glimpse of the attention and hype surrounding the Warriors on media day last month.Hes ready to embrace it.We take it as a compliment because it means youre doing something right. It means youve got good talent here, it means that people want to know about you more than anybody else, he said. Its a huge year for us, a big season, kind of what we expected with a lot of expectations, a lot of eyes on us.

Zach Cunningham Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson is pointing to a possible return during the AFC playoffs after having the meniscus in his right knee repaired.The Broncos are expected to place their leading running back on injured reserve, which would put him out of action a minimum of eight weeks.Although the Broncos hadnt made the transaction by Friday afternoon, Anderson tweeted, Was an amazing fun year all I can do is rest up get back for the playoffs and if not get back and grind 4 next seasonAnderson had surgery in California on Thursday to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee 72 hours after getting hurt during his best performance of the season.Hes going to miss some significant time, coach Gary Kubiak said after Fridays practice. Kubiak planned to meet with general manager John Elway and head athletic trainer Steve Antonopulos to come up with a timetable for Andersons return and a plan for his absence.For now, the Broncos arent adding another running back to their roster, although should they decide to bolster their backfield they neednt look any further than their own practice squad where Juwan Thompson provides both experience and versatility.Rookie Devontae Booker will make his first start Sunday when the Broncos (5-2) host the Chargers (3-4), with Kapri Bibbs backing him up. Kubiak said he liked how both backs looked at practice this week.Anderson got hurt on his second carry Monday night but returned to the game and ran 14 more times for 84 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 107 yards on 16 carries in Denvers 27-9 win over Houston. Booker added 83 yards on 17 carries.The Broncos ran for 190 yards against the Texans and were feeling good about their suddenly surging ground game until Tuesday afternoon when Anderson showed up with a sore right knee.Bibbs said even with Anderson out for a while, the Broncos can still have a powerful 1-2 punch in their backfield.I mean, this could maake a difference in my whole life, said Bibbs, who went undrafted out of Colorado State in 2014.dddddddddddd An opportunity like this has shaped so many players in this league who have come up from fourth string, third string, practice squad to being stars in this league. This is how it happens.He pointed to the undrafted Anderson, who leads the team with 437 yards rushing and four TDs, as a prime example.He was fourth-string behind a bunch of guys and got an opportunity. Now hes a Pro Bowler, a household name, Bibbs said. Thats what Im trying to do.The Broncos have plenty of other decisions on their hands aside from running back.Center Matt Paradis (hip), cornerback Aqib Talib (back), linebacker Brandon Marshall (hamstring) and pass rusher DeMarcus Ware (broken right arm) are all listed as questionable for Sunday.The Broncos acquired A.J. Derby from archrival New England this week after getting such middling production from their tight end corps. But Kubiak said second-year pro Jeff Heuerman, who has but two career catches, had a good week of practice. That could complicate plans to get Derby on the field Sunday as hoped.We went from not many tight ends to a bunch of them, so we have to make a decision on who were going to suit, Kubiak said. Jeff has looked good. Jeff has had a good week, so well see. Were going to try to get (Derby) going a quick as possible. Does that mean this week? I dont know. Well see.The Broncos gave up a fifth-round pick in 2017 for Derby, a sixth-round selection last year out of Arkansas who was buried on the Patriots depth chart behind Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Cheap NBA Jersero32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: [url]www.seys[/url] Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
