Stephen Curry had 17 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds before sitting for the fourth quarter, and the Golden State Warriors opened the season with a 139-104 rout of the Portland Trail Blazers.

Curry's 17 points, 10 assists, and 9 rebounds propel Warriors to a commanding 139-104 victory over Trail Blazers. Former Blazers coach Terry Stotts, now a Warriors assistant, receives tribute from Portland crowd during game.

Ahead of the season opener Wednesday night, Curry took the time to post a little candid message to Warriors fans. Curry is now 36 years old, yet he still stands as the greatest shooter of all time. However, the pressing question is whether he can carry the burden of a team that lacks elite star power at this point in his career.
