OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- The excitement to the start off the Warriors season is summed up pretty well by a Warriors tweet with a Draymond GIF.

It says, "Who's ready for some regular season fun on Warriors Ground"?

The players are ready, and ABC7 was there as they practiced Monday at the Rakuten Performance Center.

Stephen Curry sank long jump shots with his trademark ease. Kevin Durant looked sharp getting his reps in.

With new acquisition DeMarcus Cousins still out, Damian Jones will start at center Tuesday, practicing here with Klay Thompson.

"We work extremely hard," said Kevin Durant.

Tomorrow's home opener will be especially meaningful, as it will be the "last one" at Oracle Arena before the team moves across the Bay next year.

The team is asking fans to arrive early and be seated by 7:15pm, for a special championship celebration.

Players will get their rings for last season's NBA title, and fans will get lots of goodies.

The parking pass gates will open at 4:15 p.m. and cash gates open at 5 p.m. The arena opens at 5:30 p.m. with tip-off at 7:30 p.m.
