Look, I know a lot of people think the Warriors' time is over. Klay’s gone, they had a rocky season last year, and the West is stacked. But I’m telling you right now, Golden State is winning the championship this year. And it’s not crazy to say that.
First off, they’ve got Stephen Curry. That man is still the goat. He might be 37, but he’s still cooking defenders and pulling up from 30 feet like it’s nothing. As long as Steph is on the court, you always have a chance. Simple as that.
But here’s the real game-changer: Jimmy Butler. People are sleeping on how perfect he is for this team. He brings that playoff grit, that attitude, and he knows how to take over when it matters most. Pair him with Steph and you’ve got one of the scariest duos in the league. Jimmy’s already been to the Finals with less—now he has actual shooters and a system that fits his game? Good luck guarding that.
Also, Jonathan Kuminga has leveled up big time. Dude’s more confident, way more aggressive, and finally looking like the two-way beast he was hyped to be. Plus, they’ve still got Draymond locking things down on defense and running the offense when Steph’s off the ball.
And don’t forget: the Warriors know how to win. They’ve been there. They’ve done it. The playoffs are a different beast, and Golden State has the experience and the mentality to survive those tough series. Other teams might be flashier or younger, but when it comes down to clutch moments? I’m putting my money on the Dubs every time.
So yeah, people can hate all they want. But come playoff time, this squad is gonna remind everyone who runs the league. Warriors in 6.
