OAKLAND – The calm expression showed on Shaun Livingston’s face as he sat on the bench following a recent morning shootaround. Throughout his 13-year NBA career, rarely anything has rattled Livingston.

Therefore, Livingston seemed unfazed with the circumstances regarding the Warriors’ first-round series against the San Antonio Spurs. The Warriors have a diminished backcourt without a star guard (Stephen Curry) and rising young player (Patrick McCaw) for at least the first round because of injuries. That leaves the Warriors with a starting point guard who spent part of the season in the G-League (Quinn Cook) and a steely reserve known for his solid play (Livingston).
