Because of this, Steph admitted he doesn't know what the right answer is; however, he is just looking to make his minutes impactful wherever they come. Curry added that Jordan Poole has been fantastic in the starting lineup, and that each one of Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, and Kevon Looney also provide attributes the Warriors need in that first group. Hopefully I've demonstrated that at the end of the day it really doesn't matter.

The Denver Nuggets persevered throughout the regular season, overcoming long-term injuries to two of their top three players to win 48 games.

"We've got to figure it out, because getting swept again, not a good look for nobody, and it's embarrassing," Monte Morris said. Amid the frustration of Monday's 20-point loss, DeMarcus Cousins and Will Barton got into a heated discussion heading into a timeout. The "death lineup," as Golden State's lineup of Curry, Poole and Thompson has been dubbed, works because all three can create their own shots. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole combined for 84 of the Warriors 126 points in Game 2. It is great to be playing in front of our own fans." The Warriors won the first two games in convincing fashion but the Nuggets hope that coming home will make a difference.

Another striking stat from Game 6: Andrew Bogut scored 14 points and collected 21 rebounds. The Warriors split the first two games in Denver in 2013, as Curry noted, losing on Miller’s layup with 1.2 seconds left and winning behind 30 points from Curry and 26 from Jarrett Jack. Then the Warriors won twice in Oakland, lost Game 5 in Denver and closed out the series at home in Game 6. “Obviously, a lot has changed since then, but it definitely brings back good memories of being on this stage for the first time and playing well,” Curry said after Thursday’s shootaround at Ball Arena. “I remember losing Game 1 on that Andre Miller, last-second layup, and then we responded in Game 2 and obviously the rest of that series.

Before the Warriors meet the Nuggets in Denver for Game 3 in the first round, here's everything you need to know about the contest.

With Curry looking healthy after dropping 34 points in 23 minutes, Steve Kerr will have to make some decisions with his starting lineup in game three. Will he opt to start all three guards, or will he bring Curry or Poole off the bench?

Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone is in the very tough position of having to publicly speak about his team, which has repeatedly gotten its teeth ...

Just as it was a car that was never considered to be in the same realm as a Maserati, the Nuggets -- without notable players like Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray -- aren't considered in the same realm as the Dubs this postseason. The Ford Pinto comparison works perhaps a bit better than Malone intended. The difficulty lies in coming up with creative ways to say “our opponents are good, and we’re not,” without outright saying that.

The Moose Jaw Warriors will take on the Saskatoon Blades in the first round of the Western Hockey League playoffs.

CTVNews.ca has compiled a list of notable things that have happened so far. 3 hr ago 3 hr ago 3 hr ago Yager, Firkus, Mateychuk, they took their lumps last year in the hub and you know they’ve earned the opportunity and we are taking advantage of it,” said O’Leary. The Warriors will look to their young talent on the team to produce in the playoffs as they have been all season. “It’s definitely going to be a battle of the goalies. “Teddy has been one of our best players all season long. The goalie is fifth in save percentage in the Western Hockey League and has tied his career-high shutouts this season with three. “I think that’s going to be key. It was 7-0, and 7-1 so I think we know that we have the firepower to beat them. “You keep that in the back of your head but it’s a new season.

Jordan Poole has been electric, Draymond Green has been a flawless conductor and Steph is Steph. But Andrew Wiggins is the key to the new Death Lineup.

We should be able to get deflections, and when we get deflections, we have to push the ball and try to make them keep up with that pace.” Wiggins has done everything the Warriors have asked, and he's been the key to the most lethal lineup in basketball. “There were a couple loose balls that we could have come up with and we didn't come up with, and that's one of the things we spoke about with that lineup. Wiggins has been locked in like I’ve never seen Wiggins locked in before. You know, if I’m battling with Joker, which is a tall task, and I’m trying to keep him off the board, it’s very hard for me to then go get that rebound. During the first two games of the series, Wiggins is averaging 14.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game while shooting 55 percent from the field.

Mateychuk named East Division nominee for defenceman of the year, Yager for rookie of the year; Tetachuk, Firkus jnamed Division All-Stars.

The Irma, Alta. product led the Warriors in scoring with 36 goals and 80 points on the season and was ranked 33rd overall among North Americans in the NHL mid-season Draft rankings. Joining Tetachuk and Firkus are defenceman Ryker Evans (Regina), defenceman Chad Nychuk (Brandon), forward Ridly Greig (Brandon) and forward Tristan Robins (Saskatoon). Joining Mateychuk as First Team All-Stars are goaltender Daniel Hauser (Winnipeg), defenceman Carson Lambos ( Winnipeg), forward Connor Bedard (Regina), forward Kyle Crnkovic (Saskatoon) and forward Matthew Savoie (Winnipeg). The Saskatoon product finished the season with 34 goals and 59 points, breaking Theoren Fleury’s decades-old record for most points by a 16-year-old. The third-overall pick in the 2022 WHL Bantam Draft also surpassed Brayden Point’s point total at that age. Also nominated are Kaiden Guhle (Edmonton Oil Kings, Central Division), Gannon Larocque (Victoria Royals, B.C. Division) and Olen Zellweger (Everett Silvertips, U.S. Division).

He’s been the oldest dunker in the playoffs since 2019. This left the 38-year-old wing without a defender in front of him, meaning he could cut to the basket with ease. Hall of Famer Reggie Miller said he didn’t think Iguodala had five total dunks this season (he recorded 17, per basketball-reference).

The Warriors closed out the Nuggets in Game 3 with clutch buckets and lockdown defense.

Green, who had five fouls, was isolated 1-on-1 and amazingly made the defensive play of the night, poking the ball away from the Nuggets' star. Golden State can finish off the sweep of Denver on Sunday afternoon at Ball Arena. The Nuggets had one last chance and got the ball to Jokic on the block.

With his breakout performance, Poole has become just the second Warrior to score at least 25 points in his first three playoff games. Curry's been spectacular, averaging nearly 26 points in those 25 minutes per game, but Green is right that the majority of the time, Poole has been Golden State's primary playmaker. "We need him to go where we want to go, and we need him to keep doing what he's doing." "You're talking a guy who was on the third team All-G League last year, has been our No. 1 option in this playoffs," Green said after the Game 3 win. Poole isn't just scoring -- his efficiency is off the charts. That's pretty incredible, considering Poole shares the court with Curry and Thompson, arguably the two greatest shooters of all time.

This is the fourth time the Warriors have made 12 3-pointers in a playoff half.
