Numerous 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 normally 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 towards Boston.
Two extra for the highway, one in all which is unrelated to basketball.
The Warriors started the 2024-25 season with a 5-0 report within the preseason, similar 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 celebrities really aligning for Golden State? Draymond Inexperienced has already guaranteed a title and double-downed on his assertion just lately.
“I consider we acquired the items to do it,” Inexperienced mentioned, via NBC Sports Bay Area. “And like I mentioned, I do know what that appears and seems like. There’s lots of people like ‘How is he going to say that?’ that ain’t performed it…. You have acquired all these folks out right here speaking about what I mentioned and the way I’ll do it… I’ve performed it. Over and again and again and over. I do know what it seems and seems like.”
It is easy to dismiss Inexperienced’s declare. Some might even name him delusional, given the would possibly of groups such because the Celtics, Cavaliers and Thunder. That mentioned, who’re we to query the center of a champion? Inexperienced, Curry and Steve Kerr know precisely what it takes to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy, and their confidence bodes properly 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 house, turning into villains that the NBA sorely wants.
Both method, the Warriors have injected new life into the ultimate leg of the 2024-25 season. The playoffs cannot come quickly sufficient!
