Kevin O'Connor Claims Warriors Are The Favorites For The Title: "Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, And Jordan Poole Are The Best Offensive Trio In The NBA."

The Golden State Warriors have recently defeated the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 of their series. Though it was a close game, ultimately the Warriors prevailed due to their guard trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole.

NBA analyst Kevin O'Connor has recently claimed that the Golden State Warriors are the favorite for the title once again. He stated that the Warriors' guard trio is the "best offensive trio" in the league, and added that Draymond Green is the "league's best defender", hence him picking the Warriors as the favorite.

Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole are the best offensive trio in the NBA. Draymond Green is the league’s best defender. Warriors have depth, experience. Other teams have injuries. The Death Lineup is back. Golden State is the favorite again.

There is no doubt that the Golden State Warriors have a very good shot of winning the title. They have a lot of talent on their roster, and when their offense is flowing, it is hard to imagine any defense stopping them. They finished as the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference, but Warriors forward Draymond Green previously claimed that seeding doesn't matter for them, and added that they would win the title regardless.

"Whether we're the No. 2 seed or No. 3 seed, we're going to win a championship. Don't really matter."

It remains to be seen if the Golden State Warriors will end up winning the championship. They definitely have a solid chance of being able to do so, and their veterans know what it's like to win at the highest level.

A lot of fans would love for the Golden State Warriors to be back to the Finals, but there is definitely quite some time left until that potentially happens. It would be good to see Stephen Curry get back to the highest stage of basketball, and perhaps this is the year he gets his Finals MVP.

From Deep: At long last, Nikola Jokic's Nuggets can envision getting to the top of the mountain

Jamal Murray tore his ACL on April 12, 2021. Leading up to that night, he'd been playing at an All-NBA level for two months: In a 25-game stretch, Murray averaged 24.1 points on .509/.459/.935 shooting splits, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was even more efficient than he was in the bubble playoffs, and his defense had improved, too. Murray only got to play with Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets' big trade-deadline addition, for five games. They won them all except the one in which Murray got injured. In 110 minutes, their new starting five scored slightly more efficiently than any iteration of the Kevin Durant-era death lineup in Golden State and defended like a top-five team. Two Nikola Jokic MVP awards later, Murray is back. So is Michael Porter Jr., who signed a five-year extension about a year ago and needed back surgery nine games into the 2020-21 season. The Nuggets remember how easily everything slid into place with Gordon in the mix. Newcomer Kentavious Caldwell-Pop...

Klay Thompson to sit out Warriors preseason games in Japan as Kerr says he needs more time to ramp-up

Klay Thompson may have returned healthy to the Golden State Warriors last season, but the scars from his two missed seasons are still quite visible. The Warriors played their first of two preseason games against the Washington Wizards on Friday and will play another on Sunday, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Thompson will not be playing at all during the trip to Japan. "Just feel more comfortable giving him a little more of a ramp up," Kerr said before Friday's victory over Washington. "He's just not quite ready to play at this point just based on where, you know, we're so early in camp. We just want to be safe and make sure he gets a good ramp-up before he plays in games." Typically, so little time to ramp up wouldn't be a problem for a veteran in a preseason context. The games tend to be so low-impact and demand so few minutes out of a team's best players that they can safely jog through them. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green played 1...

LeBron James says he has 'no relationship' with Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

It's not a matter of if LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the No. 1 spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list, it's when. James sits just 1,326 points away from passing the Hall of Famer and Los Angeles Lakers legend, a milestone that should happen at some point this season given James is still performing at peak levels and is coming off a year in which he averaged over 30 points a night. If he averages around the same amount of points as he did a season ago for the Lakers, James could break the record somewhere in the middle of the season, assuming he stays healthy. It's a highly anticipated moment heading into the season, but in regards to LeBron's thoughts about and his relationship with Abdul-Jabbar, he didn't have much to say on the matter. Following the Lakers first preseason game Monday night, a reporter asked James what his thoughts were on the Lakers legend and if the two had any relationship, to which LeBron gave a very short answer. "No...
