In the regular season, the Golden State Warriors placed seventh out of fifteen teams in the Western Conference. With the top six in each conference guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, the Warriors had to compete in a Play-In Tournament to be able to compete in the playoffs.
“I think it is amazing how much fight the Warriors have,” junior Winnie Chun said. “It really is amazing to watch.”
Within the past ten years, the Warriors have won four NBA championships. Led by Steve Kerr, a former basketball player and the current head coach of the Warriors, they have had a very successful decade.
“It’s crazy how we are able to experience having a successful NBA team,” junior Lily Liao said. “I think having four championships within ten years is normal.”
Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors’ point guard and star player, has led his team to many championships before. With a total of 25,385 points in the NBA and an average of 24.7 points per game this season, Curry has had a very successful season and career.
“It’s amazing to see how much of a different level the professionals are on,” Cooper said. “I think that the Warriors and all the professional teams are great role models.”
In this recent series against the Houston Rockets, there has been a lot of strategy and specific goals in mind when it comes to offense in particular. Especially with the series being three to two, it’s important that the Warriors continue working together, staying focused, and having fun, according to junior Adania Cooper.
“It would be really nice to see the Warriors take it all the way,” Chun said.
