They went on to reach the second round, where they lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games after Warriors star Curry got injured in the series opener.Warriors star Steph Curry kept belief in the franchise despite quiet offseason prior to Al Horford signingSteph Curry has remained patient with the Warriors throughout the offseason as their lack of activity in the past months caught most people off guard.Last August, Curry reaffirmed that he believed in the team's vision, as he thinks that their current crew remains a formidable one.“Oh for real? I didn’t know," Curry quipped when asked about the Warriors offseason inactivity. "It’s different for sure, but my confidence is built on the identity we were able to create over the last third of the regular season last year. The playoff journey. We have a really good team."Horford is the team's only addition so far, coming in just over a week before their training camp starts.The team is expected to continue transacting with one month left before the season starts.
