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.

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...
