By Tim KawakamiPublished Apr. 16, 2025 • 7:08amThe most meaningful player in franchise history slammed his hands together once, twice, then shouted into the air. It almost looked like he was angry. It definitely looked like he was acknowledging all that was almost lost in this moment, this season, this twilight stage of a dynasty.

By Tim KawakamiPublished Apr. 14, 2025 • 6:00amJimmy Butler took the most shots of his bountiful three-month Warriors career on Sunday, scored the most points, played the most minutes, and absolutely was the most dominant, most commanding, most Playoff Jimmy anyone could’ve possibly wanted or ordered up for this very significant moment. “I liked how Jimmy played,” Steve Kerr said with a sly smile afterward.

Everything looks vibrant and cohesive. Everybody looks happy. Everyone at Oracle Park the last handful of days has seemed pretty pleased — especially after three walk-off wins during this opening Giants homestand, culminating in Sunday’s victorious comeback from an early 5-0 deficit. It’s been a good start to the Buster Posey era so far, absolutely, 100%, no doubt. Now imagine Kyle Tucker added to this group next offseason. Or maybe Kyle Schwarber.

Moses Moody is a regular, steady, and quite successful starter these days, so it’s not surprising when he’s Steve Kerr’s choice to finish games alongside Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, and Brandin Podziemski, right? But wait: On other nights, Kerr fills that fifth spot with Jonathan Kuminga’s explosive athleticism and occasionally accidental brilliant moments.

The whole Warriors dynasty could’ve been long dead by now — more about nostalgia, cute cameos, statue-construction announcements, and fond good-byes than grinding through an absurd late-season schedule and driving their way up the Western Conference standings. This probably should’ve been over. There was too much burden on Stephen Curry and Draymond Green’s shoulders at this stage in their lives and careers. There wasn’t enough help coming from the younger players.

Where was Noah Wylie when I needed him!!!!
@timkawakami And here I thought watching The Pitt was more stressful!
1) My bad for presuming division-tie rules carried through. 2) In this case, LAST UPDATE in this 3-team 49-33 tie scenario: -MIN would get 5 seed with cumulative 4-3 record -Warriors would get 6 (with a 4-4 cumulative) -And LACs (with 3-4 cumulative) would get 7 Good night!
This is incorrect. You can refer to subclause (a) found at the bottom of this page: https://t.co/v79OCIVAcD You don't reset after initial tiebreak UNLESS you're deciding division winner or teams are tied after cumulative. Cumulative record for Warriors-Wolves-Clippers will https://t.co/VZ2pfqmqIL
If my last recalculation is correct (*BIG IF), GSWs really really want LACs to lose tomorrow in SAC. And if that doesn't happen, LACs getting swept by MIN in the season series will be quite damaging to GSWs' seeding.
OK I give up. Too late for this. One more run through this ONE 3-TEAM SCENARIO and yes, MIN would win the cumulative at 4-3 and get the 5. Then Warriors-LACs tiebreak goes to LACs in head-to-head, so LACs get 6 and GSWs get 7, even if they win out in this scenario. I AM DONE
