A number of that is hyperbole, however please bear with us.
On Tuesday, the Warriors drubbed an opponent by 20+ factors for a 3rd consecutive recreation. The final time that occurred? The 2021-22 season, which culminated with a championship within the Bay Space.
Final Sunday, Stephen Curry hit his “evening evening” celebration prematurely in the third quarter (he often saves it for the fourth). The final time that occurred? Sport 6 of the 2022 NBA Finals when Curry caught a heater within the third quarter in opposition to Boston.
Two extra for the street, considered one of which is unrelated to basketball.
The Warriors started the 2024-25 season with a 5-0 file within the preseason, identical to they did in 2021-22.
Rapper Kendrick Lamar final launched an album in 2022.
Are these only a collection of coincidences? Or are the celebs actually aligning for Golden State? Draymond Inexperienced has already guaranteed a title and double-downed on his assertion just lately.
“I imagine we received the items to do it,” Inexperienced stated, via NBC Sports Bay Area. “And like I stated, I do know what that appears and looks like. There’s lots of people like ‘How is he going to say that?’ that ain’t carried out it…. You’ve got received all these individuals out right here speaking about what I stated and the way I will do it… I’ve carried out it. Over and time and again and over. I do know what it appears to be like and looks like.”
It is easy to dismiss Inexperienced’s declare. Some could even name him delusional, given the would possibly of groups such because the Celtics, Cavaliers and Thunder. That stated, who’re we to query the guts of a champion? Inexperienced, Curry and Steve Kerr know precisely what it takes to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy, and their confidence bodes nicely for the postseason.
In the event that they fall flat on their faces (most probably), it supplies riveting fodder for analysts and followers alike. And in the event that they defy the chances, they’d gloat till the cows come residence, turning into villains that the NBA sorely wants.
Both manner, the Warriors have injected new life into the ultimate leg of the 2024-25 season. The playoffs cannot come quickly sufficient!
