Can Anyone Beat The Warriors?

Despite all of the free agents in the league, the Warriors still look like they're at the top of the list

Can Anyone Beat The Warriors?

It's evident that the Golden State Warriors are the powerhouse in the NBA this upcoming year. They were dominant in the 2015-2016 season by shattering the 1996 Chicago Bulls 72-10 record, but they blew a 3-0 lead in the finals against king James in the NBA finals. However, they acquired one of the best players in the league, Kevin Durant. Is it possible that they can lose in the western conference? Can anyone beat the Warriors?


The frontcourt depth could take a step back without Andrew Bogut, Harrison Barnes Festus Ezeli and Marreese Speights, but the Warriors will dominate teams with their lineup of Curry, Thompson, Andre, Durant and Draymond Green lineup that it shouldn’t matter at all. They will be shooting more three pointers than ever, and it's a scary thought to see KD and Curry on the court together.

There was one particular controversy after signing Kevin Durant, and it was Klay Thompson when he was asked about sacrificing his game,

"I feel kind of disrespected that people keep using the term sacrifice to describe me and describe us," Thompson told The Vertical. "We all want to see each other do well. But I'm not sacrificing [expletive], because my game isn't changing. I'm still going to try to get buckets, hit shots, come off screens. I want to win and have a fun time every game we play." As long as this team keeps decent chemistry and no one gets severely injured, it should be a cake walk for them to coast through the Western Conference.

The Warriors blew it in last years Finals. It seems extremely unlikely that the same outcome happens again this upcoming season.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
