Are the Warriors Peaking at the Right Time?

It was expected to be a tough Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. The Mavericks were fresh off a huge Game 7 against the Suns, and Luka Doncic was looking unstoppable as the rest of the Mavs seemed locked and loaded on both ends. The fact that their last game was an embarrassing blowout of the league’s best team record-wise meant the key players on Dallas got some extra minutes to rest, and while it’s still difficult to play right after that kind of high-energy series, they looked squared away to make the Warriors work for it.

The State of the Warriors Ahead of the Western Conference Finals

After a grueling series in Memphis, the Warriors are officially headed to familiar territory for the first time in two years: The Western Conference Finals. It took a slugfest of a series against the upstart Grizzlies and a clean team effort against MVP Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets to get here, and now the Dubs will face 22-year-old superstar Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks after they shelled the Suns tonight in Game 7.

Wiggins and Looney Thrive as Warriors Advance to West Finals

17 turnovers; Steph and Poole shooting a combined 14-for-42 from the field; Golden State below 40-percent both from the field overall and from three; and they won. In most games, this is a recipe for disaster for Golden State. Yet after battling back and forth with several runs coming from both teams, the Warriors finish the game on a 23-7 run to win 110-96 and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Draymond Responds to Kendrick Perkins’ Take on His Lack of Shooting

Before the Warriors' Game 6 on Friday night, Kendrick Perkins had this to say about Draymond’s play, “He’s afraid to shoot the basketball and those assists he gets to Curry, Poole, and Thompson, anyone could get.” After the thirty-nine-point loss it was easy to question the Warriors’ play or lack thereof as Draymond made multiple bad passes and the team seemed out of rhythm. But they shut the haters up in Game 6 and looked like the Warriors that we were accustomed to seeing.
