It Is Not Time to Blow Up the Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have now missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season but it doesn’t mean they should “blow this team up”.

The Golden State Warriors have now missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season but it doesn’t mean they should “blow this team up”.

The Houston Rockets had a fire sale of a season. The biggest story that came from Houston was the saga of James Harden. In the 2020 offseason, it was made clear that Harden wanted out of Houston.

The Memphis Grizzlies used an incredible effort from the 2020 Rookie of the Year to earn their second-straight play-in victory, overtaking the dynastic Warriors 117-112 in the final game of the NBA’s “regular” season.

The Charlotte Hornets finished the 2020-2021 NBA season with a 33-39 record, which led them to the play-in game as the 10th seed. Although Charlotte did not make the playoffs, the team outperformed their expectations.

For the second time in less than a week, the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies will be playing a must-win game. In their matchup last Sunday, Stephen Curry torched Memphis for 46 points on a career-high 36 shot attempts en route to a 12 point victory for Golden State.

The Philadelphia 76ers come into this year’s postseason in the best position they’ve been in in the last 20 years. Back in 2001, their star player Allen Iverson had led them to the one-seed in the Eastern Conference. Now, MVP candidate Joel Embiid has led this team right back into the one-seed.

The Phoenix Suns are one of the NBA’s biggest surprises this season. Even with the Lakers back at full strength, the Suns will not back down. This will end up being one of the best first-round matchups.

The Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets will kick off their opening-round series Saturday night in Denver. The Trailblazers should be eager to be back in the playoffs after falling short last year in the bubble.

There are many players that have pressure on them entering this year’s NBA playoffs, but none have put more pressure on themselves than James Harden. He hasn’t captured the one thing that matters the most: a championship.

On Wednesday evening, the Staples Center will play host to their first must-win game in a while with the seventh-seeded Los Angeles Lakers welcoming the eighth-seeded Golden State Warriors to town.

For the second year in a row, the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat will square off in a playoff series. Once again, it is the Heat who are trying to upset the Bucks. Last year, the Heat shocked the NBA world with their 4-1 series win over the top seed Bucks.

After a surprising run to the NBA Finals last season, the future was looking very bright for the Miami Heat. However, after a huge playoff run, the Heat looked nothing like the team they were last season.
