The ships have anchored and we now sit at the bay of the 2022 NBA Finals.
Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are still very good at basketball. Steph Curry is also still good at basketball, but the Brooklyn Nets showed their firepower in a dominating win over Curry and the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.
Coming into the 2020-21 NBA season, ESPN’s official power rankings listed the Golden State Warriors as the 13th best team in the NBA. Whether or not Steph Curry and the new-look Warriors saw the rankings, their energy and performance in training camp indicate that they will perform better than 13th.
Ignore the critics who take Steve Kerr’s respect and give it solely to Steph Curry.
The debate over who the top 10 coaches of the NBA has been a very long debate for too long
For anybody who read my DeMarcus Cousins piece on TheScorecrow, available here, they would know that I believe he is not as big of an asset to the Warriors as analysts make him seem. In my debut article, I asserted my idea that Cousins’ Achilles injury may render him almost futile to the Warriors’ organization. With Boogie making his debut for Golden State against the Clippers on January 18 with 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists in 15 minutes, this follow-up piece will substantiate or negate the predictions I previously made about him six months ago.
I know what you’re thinking: Dear Lord, make this debate stop! Truly, this is one of those arguments that is a vicious cycle and one that will never die. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a correct answer; let’s assume the 1996 Chicago Bulls and present-day Golden State Warriors are playing in the Finals, and check out how these teams stack up player-by-player.
If you love to watch top-notch scoring and three-point shooting, this game was for you. Stephen Curry led the Golden State Warriors with 42 points, including going 10-20 from behind the arc. Buddy Hield did his best to keep the Sacramento Kings in it, exploding for 32 points and setting a new career high with 8 triples in 13 tries. Justin Jackson set a new career high with 28 points, shooting 10-14 from the field. The Warriors continue their quest to break seemingly every three-point record there is, combining with the Kings to make 41 for the game, a new NBA milestone.
The Golden State Warriors, one of the most dominating teams in all of sports currently, are on the verge of yet more history. After securing their second successive NBA title in June, their success in luring all-star center Demarcus Cousins to the Bay Area has led many to declare that a three-peat is inevitable.
