So much for all that 82-0 talk, huh, Golden State? In case you somehow missed it, the Spurs blew the Warriors out 129 to 100 in Kevin Durant’s much-anticipated debut for the Golden State super team™ on Tuesday night.
You should have known “Pop” would have his Spurs ready for whatever was thrown at them. When does he not?
Naturally, this being the internet, MANY, MANY people took great joy in seeing the Warriors take a hard L and delighted in rubbing it in the faces of Kevin Durant and his new teammates.
Here are a few of the highlights…

If the Spurs were losing by that much, the commentators would be saying how great the Warriors are & that everyone has no chance. But, 🐸☕️.

This just in, did Kevin Durant demand trade to the Spurs? Not the start Warriors and everyone expecting but that's why they play the games!

The Golden State Warriors are a total disaster. The DURANT deal was the worst trade deal in history of the world. Sad! Low energy #nba

Man, so harsh… even ESPN got in on the action a little bit…
Well that was unexpected.
The new-look Warriors entered their season-opener with nearly all the hype. The Spurs left with a 129-100 win. pic.twitter.com/qBKrAe5pgT

Oh well, there’s always next year, right Warriors fans? (Obligatory overreaction joke.)
