Itās been a while since the Golden State Warriors reached the Western Conference Finals. Still, somehow, people seem to forget that theyāre 5-0 at this stage since Steve Kerrreplaced Mark Jackson back in 2014.
Fans and even analysts counted them out as soon as Klay Thompson got hurt in 2019. They claimed their title window had closed alreadyand that they were never going to be back at the ultimate stage.
Now, theyāre four wins away from their sixth NBA Finals and fourth championshipin eight seasons. Still, Steph Curry and his teammates feel like they havenāt accomplished anything in their careers.
NBA News: Steph Curry Reveals The Warrriorsā Mindset Ahead Of The WCF
āWe donāt have anything right now,ā Curry said, per Tim Kawakami of The Athletic.āWe donāt have anything. Thatās the mindset of us being greedy in what weāre trying to go after. Thereās more so just I guess the acknowledgment of how funny it is when I look at some of those guys and youāre reminded how young they actually are. Jayson Tatumās 24, Lukaās 23, Ja (Morant)ās 22.ā
āBut outside of that, weāre hungry enough knowing that we havenāt been on the radar the last two years in terms of being realistic championship contenders,ā Steph added. āAnd now weāre knocking on the doorstep of getting back to the Finals. So maybe thatās just me in terms of not trying to claim the āold guyā tag. But weāre as hungry as they are to get it done.ā
Thatās the mindset of a champion. Thatās how a team thatās been at this stage way too often thinks.And thatās what makes them so dangerous. They heard all the noise about how they werenāt a contender after two years without making the playoffs, and theyāre ready to make everybody pay.
