Coach Steve Kerr coined the slogan last season during the Golden State Warriors' run to their first NBA title in 40 years – a motto that could've easily come across as hokey in a charmed season that was navigated with relatively modest levels of adversity. But the franchise learned its meaning early in this title defense as the Warriors' coaching staff – with new lead assistant Luke Walton at the helm – had to fill in for the first 43 games while Kerr dealt with the painful ramifications of offseason back surgery. And it will once again become the rallying cry as Golden State tries to fill an immense void for the next few weeks, until its best player can return from a sprained right knee.
