Fans looking for a chance to see the NBA's latest dynasty - the Warriors have played in the last four consecutive NBA Finals and have won three - TicketIQ has seats for every game, many with the company's Low Price Guarantee.

STEPHEN CURRY, two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, on why the Golden State Warriors have won three championship rings in four seasons.

The operating champion of NBA "Golden state" after the sensational signing of Demarcus Cousins gathered in the team's five active participants of the all-star game and collapsed in the bookmakers odds on its title.

"I think as far as Golden State, if you gave me, hey, you can take the field or you can bet Golden State, I would bet Golden State", ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Anytime y'all fall, stay down", James said.

But in the end, it'll be all about someone finding a way to beat Golden State - or not.

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr is prepared for his team to make a slow start to the season as they open the defense of their National Basketball Association crown against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, October 16 (Wednesday, October 17, Manila time).

Charming Stocks: UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE: UNH)

"We understand that winning a championship is attainable if we take care of our business, and doing it three years in a row is a tremendous opportunity for us that we should go after".

After acquiring former Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler during the offseason in 2017, the Timberwolves went from 14th in the West with 31 wins to eighth with 47.

The Warriors have had to cope with injuries, adjusting to new players and even handling their own success without getting complacent. "So we've got some young guys we're going to count on". For us, for the other 29 teams, we're the underdog. Only two other games have a current average asking price of more than $1,000, the February 2 Lakers at Warriors game, which is trending at $1,379, and the October 20 Houston Rockets at Lakers game, which has a current average asking price of $1,238.

"Fortunately we've been through it a couple of times and hopefully we'll adapt and get into the flow of the game. There's teams that can, but you've got to do it, and you're going to have to do it four times".

This season likely marks the last one at Oracle Arena before the Warriors move across the San Francisco Bay into the Chase Center in the city's Mission Bay neighborhood.

The Thunder has won all three of its season openers since Billy Donovan took over as coach, beating San Antonio, Philadelphia and NY. "Watching that game, you were already excited at home because it's so much intensity they're playing with".
