Tonight the Golden State Warriors will play in a Western Conference Finals game.
It feels crazy just writing that. This isn’t a Cinderella run or a fluke–no, this is for real. The Golden State Warriors are playing in their first Western Conference Finals since 1976. But more importantly, the Golden State Warriors are playing in, what they hope to be, their first Western Conference Finals of many.
Warriors fans know how special this season has been. The basketball gods are rectifying years and years of losing, false promises, and disappointments with this magical season. This moment has been six years in the making and alas, it has arrived.
