Following his comments that the Warriors will continue to struggle this season, Don Nelson was asked if he plans on staying with Golden State.

"Absolutely," said the Nelson, who signed a two-year, $12 million extension last month. "It means that there's no pressure not to do it the right way, not to do this job the right way ...

"I've built teams wherever I've been with the exception of New York, including this one twice. So it's not new to me. You have to have an understanding that you can struggle. You just don't want to struggle more than one year at a time if you can help it. You can resolve things and build a team in which you're a contender."
