Warriors Fans Are Hyped After Team Blows Out Nuggets: "I Don't See Anybody Beating Them In A Series."

The Golden State Warriors have won their first playoff game since 2019 today. Even though star Stephen Curry struggled, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole managed to get a victory for the team. Jordan Poole notably scored 30 PPG in his playoff debut, shooting 69% from the field.

A lot of Warriors fans were hyped after the team's performance, claiming that the Warriors are back to contending. There is no doubt that a lot of fans were excited for the team to be back in the postseason, and this game showed just how dangerous their offense can be at its peak.

Game 1. WON.

Hopefully, we see the Golden State Warriors make a deep playoff run. The Warriors have an elite home-court atmosphere, and that was on full display tonight. Jordan Poole has previously spoken out about how important that will be for the team, and added that the fans likely have some "stored-up energy that they're willing to get out".

We already know how big home-court advantage is... some of the best fans in the league. They haven’t seen the playoffs for two years. I think they've got some stored-up energy that they're willing to get out.

There is no doubt that the Golden State Warriors are a legitimate contender this season. They have a legitimate superstar in Stephen Curry, as well as a fantastic supporting cast around him. While a lot of people have touted the Phoenix Suns as the team to watch in the Western Conference, the Golden State Warriors are definitely an elite, well-coached team that could potentially get to the NBA Finals.

While the Warriors definitely have the talent to get far, they will have to go through a tough Western Conference to get to the Finals. Aside from the Phoenix Suns, the Western Conference has other dangerous teams such as the Utah Jazz and the Memphis Grizzlies. However, a team led by a superstar like Stephen Curry could definitely win any given series.

Shaquille O'Neal says Dennis Rodman was his worst teammate: 'He was a great player, but he made it hard'

Shaquille O'Neal played for six franchises over a 20-year NBA career. That's a lot of teammates. Speaking on The Big Podcast with Shaq, the four-time champion and Hall of Famer revealed which one of those teammates was the worst. "Worst teammate? Dennis Rodman," O'Neal said. "He was a great player, but he made it hard. Like when you try to corral the guys together and the people above you [are] letting this one guy do whatever he wants. So we had to be there an hour before the game. He'd come in fifteen minutes before the game eating chicken and rice. While the coaches are talking, he would jump in the shower. Cold shower. Come and give you 15-20 rebounds." O'Neal played with some characters in his time. We know about his beef with Kobe Bryant, who we know wasn't always the easiest teammate to get along with, though Shaq has long expressed regret over the way he and Bryant handled their relationship as young superstars, and eventually, he ...

Bill Russell Once Explained Why He Didn't Bother With Celtics Fans: "When I Was A Star, The Fans Called Us The 'Boston Globetrotters' Because The Celtics Had Black Players."

While the NBA is a beacon for freedom and tolerance in America, things didn't start off that way. In a place like Boston, during the 50s and 60s, racial tension was a pretty serious problem, and superstar big man Bill Russell had to deal with it on a game-to-game basis. Today, it can be hard for us to imagine just how difficult being a black basketball player really was back then. Fortunately, we have some clips: "The number one paper was the Boston Herald and they didn't like the idea of an NBA team having black players. Out there, the star was Bob Cousy. No matter what I did, Cousy was the star. I remember I had a game where I had 25 points, 25 rebounds, 10 blocks, and the Boston Herald said I was lucky to play with Cousy." Unfortunately, the media didn't give Russell his respect back then. Despite being the best player on the court, and on his team, Cousy and others always got the spotlight. Even the fans weren't very accepting of Bill: "I didn't...

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...
