While Saturday night's showdown at Chesapeake Energy Arena is sure to be a hostile environment, Golden State Warriors sixth man Andre Iguodala isn't too concerned about his safety heading into the contest.

"For me, it's just another game. I mean, if I'm supposed to die over basketball, I'm supposed to die," Iguodala told ESPN's Chris Haynes. "So I guess it's over with. But I'm not going to change my approach.

"If we didn't play basketball, they wouldn't give a damn about who we were as people. No one would invest any time in us (and) who we are. But I guess we give them an outlet or an escape from their lives. They're emotionally attached to us. But when we do things that aren't in their best interest, there's an action and a reaction. This is the case tomorrow. This is kind of the world we live in right now."

While Iguodala may be taking a nonchalant approach, Kevin Durant is playing it safe, as he's reportedly hired triple the security for his return to Oklahoma City.
