NBA News Roundup, Tuesday, August 13th: Carmelo Anthony will make a return to the NBA, Steph Curry hits back at Golden State's critics and more

Steph Curry and the Warriors want to silence their doubters

Steph Curry is confident that the Warriors can compete despite losing a number of stars

The Golden State Warriors have reached five consecutive NBA Finals, and most recently made it to the 2019 Finals despite dealing with an injury crisis.

However, the Warriors lost Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins in free agency, while Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston were also let go after more than half a decade with the franchise.

After a summer of change, many believe that the Warriors will struggle to reach the playoffs this season, although Steph Curry is confident that his team will silence their doubters:

Anybody can say anything about anything nowadays and it can pick up steam. So we've had lots of support. We've had a lot of criticism on the way that doesn't change now. Just what they're saying is different so doesn't change how we go about our business.

The Warriors enter the 19-20 season without Klay Thompson, who is expected to be out of action until at least the All-Star Weekend. However, Steve Kerr will be able to call upon his star trio of Curry, Draymond Green, and the recently acquired D’Angelo Russell.
