The Warriors open their NBA title defense Tuesday against the Lakers, but first, there's a celebration: Golden State players will receive their championship ...

They, of course, did not win the title the previous season, but that game had a similar “ring night” feel to it.) The third point guard is normally a floor-general type and contrast to the scoring guards ahead of him. Still, NBA players are creatures of habit, and a prolonged ceremony before a regular-season game the team badly wants to win also represents a sharp break from that routine. Sometimes, I have to remember to score the ball.” The Warriors also dumped one of their two-ways and snatched up Ty Jerome on their quest for a point guard. A questioned, motivated Green is typically a great Green for the Warriors. The motivation for him to have a super charged, high impact regular season and playoffs is obvious. Jordan Poole is moving back to the bench with Klay Thompson in the lineup, but doesn’t need to obsess over how his minute and point totals will impact his market. Juan Toscano-Anderson, who knows the Warriors as well as anyone outside of the organization, said the key to defeating his former team is disrupting their offensive flow and taking away their preferred reads. The Lakers are going to have to scrap their base schemes and adjust to Golden State’s defense-bending shooting. Locking up Davis to start the year would be the kind of opening statement Green wants to start his Defensive Player of the Year campaign. Ham said he plans on sticking with one lineup for a while, and not changing his starters game to game, so this is a grouping that the Lakers will likely try for at least a few games until re-evaluating.

The Golden State Warriors hoisted the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the fourth time in eight seasons after defeating the Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals.

Although they are fresh off winning another title, Golden State's 2022-23 campaign got off to a rough start when Draymond Green punched teammate Jordan Poole in the face during a Warriors practice. They also traded for Patrick Beverley, who should be a considerable upgrade for Los Angeles. The Golden State Warriors hoisted the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the fourth time in eight seasons after defeating the Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals.

The ring is made up of seven carats of yellow diamonds -- a rare gem that the jewelers of Jason of Beverly Hills scoured for months to find. It was a long haul, but all part of the journey that led to this title, which makes it really special." On the other is the organization's seven Larry O'Brien Trophies displayed. And similar to how their 2015 ring resembled Oracle Arena -- with the old building's recognizable X's on its windows around the outside of the ring -- this year's has imagery of Chase Center's exterior in the same spot. The individualized custom feature, Lacob says, came from a desire to honor the four core players -- Curry, Lacob estimates he saw around 20 versions of various parts of the ring before settling on the final design. The Warriors wanted to give a nod to that championship that kicked off their dynasty seven years prior. But what it really is, is the physical manifestation of the journey. There are .91 carats of white diamonds on the inner bezel to honor the team's 91% home winning percentage in the postseason. Even after they made the Finals, ESPN's Basketball Power Index gave them just a 14% chance to win the title. But, like most any other championship ring, there is far more symbolism present than just the number of carats. "Make sure it's over the top," read another, according to Arasheben, who runs Los Angeles-based jewelry house Jason of Beverly Hills.

The Golden State Warriors over under for regular season win total is set at 52.5 on FanDuel Sportsbook for the 2022-23 NBA season.

While there’s plenty of reason to believe the Warriors can cruise past that win total, the team may not be as aggressive during the regular season. The leader of the field is the Boston Celtics, who have a projected win total of 53.5 wins. Under head coach Steve Kerr, the Warriors have gone over the 53.5 win total mark in six of his eight seasons. It’s somewhat surprising given the amount of star talent on the Warriors’ roster, and while they did lose some important players in the offseason with the likes of Gary Payton II joining the Trail Blazers, Otto Porter departing for Toronto, Juan Toscano Anderson heading to the Lakers, and Damion Lee landing with the Suns, they’re still a more-than-formidable force. With a regular-season win total projection of 52.5 wins, the Warriors enter the year with the second-highest win total in the league, though they’re tied with a handful of contenders. They’ll be looking to improve upon that and grab one of the top two seeds in the West this season.

On a recent Sunday afternoon, a basketball fan in a Cleveland Cavaliers jersey took his seat for a preseason NBA game in a sold-out arena.

The crowd went nuts anytime Hachimura touched the ball. Scores of people packed in to watch a pair of preseason games between the Washington Wizards — featuring This would have been unremarkable if not for the fact the game was taking place 5,000 miles away from US shores and the Cavaliers weren't even part of it.

The Warriors received their 2022 NBA championship rings on Tuesday night and they certainly did not disappoint.

Additional features on the sides of the ring include seven Championship trophies to represent the franchise’s seven NBA Championships, the team’s “Just Us” mantra, and more." "The rings feature approximately 16 carats of yellow and white diamonds set into yellow gold to represent the team’s 16 wins during the 2022 NBA Playoffs, marking the first time a Championship ring has been made up primarily of yellow diamonds," the Warriors wrote in a statement. "Seven carats of yellow cushion cut diamonds on the bezel represent the team’s seven championships, while 43 baguettes in the bridge represent Stephen Curry’s 43-point performance in Game 4 of the NBA Finals."

The Los Angeles Lakers host the defending champion Golden State Warriors in the second half of an NBA Tip Off Tuesday doubleheader from California.

The Lakers missed the playoffs, and didn’t even make it to the Play-In after building a super team meant to compete for a championship. Injuries riddled the Lakers season, as Anthony Davis went down for a good portion of the season, and LeBron James battled an ankle injury. Steph Curry and the Warriors aren't just celebrating the opening of the regular season tonight. Dressed in white coming into Chase Arena, is LeBron James going to be a saviour for the Lakers this season after what was a historically disappointing season last year? He missed two preseason games but was back for the finale, and will be on the floor on opening night. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have been the anchors in this dynasty and the will be looking to get back to the playoffs healthy this year. Lonnie Walker and Patrick Beverly join AD, LeBron and Westbrook in the Lakers starting five to start the season. AD going into the body of Looney and finishing off the glass. Curry got into the paint and looked to wiggle into space after picking up his dribble in the paint. Reaves on the break, gets the lay up and Poole fouled him!

All told, the Warriors would outscore Los Angeles 91-71 in the third frame. failing to stick with Golden State in transition, and letting the team go on a quick 6-0 run. To that end, non-LBJ/AD Lakers shot just 1-of-10 from the floor in the third period. outscored Golden State 14-2 in the paint for the frame. Stephen Curry and Sixth Man of the Year favorite Jordan Poole led the way for Golden State, pouring in a combined 26 points. Who made the Lakers' third three-pointer of the night (in 21 attempts)? Nobody shot particularly well in the first quarter, so the Lakers were able to keep things close for much of the frame. The Lakers went on a 9-0 run (the Warriors had seven straight misses during this window) with LeBron resting. Although he came off the bench in the Lakers' preseason finale (a blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors' NorCal neighbors, the Sacramento Kings), Russell Westbrook started at the point. Los Angeles fell to the Golden State Warriors in Chase Center, 123-109.

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala's rings had something special in their secret compartment.

The Warriors had a nearly perfect third quarter, exploding offensively while grounding the Lakers attack to a halt. The Lakers trio of stars mounted a weak comeback attempt in the fourth quarter, but unable to stop the Warriors, they were unable to cut the lead below 12. While Curry was 0-for-5 from three in the first half, he still scored a game-high 16 points while adding 5 rebounds and 4 assists. With a 59-52 lead to start the third quarter, the Warriors had to feel good about one thing: they led despite Curry and Klay Thompson shooting 0-for-8 from three.
