There’s a special relationship that will always exist between the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks. Back in 2007, when the We Believe Warriors defeated the top-seeded team, Dirk Nowitzki famously made a hole in the wall at Oracle by heaving a trash can in frustration. That wall was cut out and moved to the new Chase Center Arena in San Francisco.
It’s a touchstone for the beginnings of the Warriors dynasty - it was the dismantling of that We Believe team that opened the door for Steph Curry to usher in a new era and that series will always link these two teams.
