One morning after, the reality is still setting in. The Warriors are headed to their third-straight NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history. For many of the Warriors, this will be their very first chance getting a crack at the league's ultimate prize. For others, some unfinished business remains.
Golden State entered the 2016-17 season with nearly half a roster that was in its first year with the organization. Veteran free agents like Kevin Durant, Zaza Pachulia, David West and JaVale McGee, as well as rookies Patrick McCaw and Damian Jones, partnered up with the core contingent of Golden State's back-to-back Finals runs, with the hopes that this time around, it would end on a high note.
