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.

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.

Next month, the Warriors Community Foundation and Chase will launch a Championship Ring Sweepstakes, offering Warriors fans a chance to win an authentic 2021-22 NBA championship ring.

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

"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."

At first glance, coach Steve Kerr was stunned by the size of the Warriors' 2022-23 NBA championship rings.

It's the first championship ring in all of sports to primarily be made up of yellow diamonds. Just like general manager Bob Myers constructing a championship roster, the rings are all about the details. “We went with yellow-gold because we consider this the golden era," ring creator Jason Arasheben told NBC Bay Area. But what it really is, is the physical manifestation of the journey. The ring itself is cool, it's flashy. "That is the story you are trying to tell with any ring.

For the Golden State Warriors, Draymond Green has always been the defensive tone-setter. No matter what anyone thinks of him at this point — his approval ...

But already being this sharp defensively — they had a defensive rating of 94.4, including limiting the Lakers to an 84.1 offensive rating in the half court — is a testament to continuity, consistency, and culture that is still intact, despite recent controversies threatening to tear it all down. Green — trusting that Klay Thompson behind him will “sink” in to take Davis — prepares to “trap the box,” or help on the drive. The Warriors are considered an elite-tier squad, with a defense that was the second-best during the 2021-2022 regular season. He isn’t willing to move off the ball, nor is he willing to even set screens for his teammates. But it’s difficult to get a disciplined and intelligent defense on the backfoot. With the floor heavily shrunk and the Warriors ready to send help from every direction, a largely stagnant half-court offense had no hope of succeeding. The help coming from Stephen Curry is the one serving as a massive indictment of the Lakers’ spacing — and perhaps their roster construction. It’s no secret that the optimal scenario James operates in is with a spaced floor, with multiple shooters surrounding him. Green is familiar with Davis’ tendencies and has famously given him fits in the past; this instance proves to be no different. His contributions on that end range from the outwardly eye-catching, to the more subtle strokes of genius that typically seems unremarkable to most observers. No matter what anyone thinks of him at this point — his approval rating among Warriors fans may have reached an all-time low — what he contributes on the court is still undeniable. There’s enough faith in Green’s history to believe that he will choose the former.

The Warriors signed Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins to four-year extensions last Sunday.

He also was effective from the 3-point line, connecting on four in the first half, including a rainbow heave from the top of the key to beat the shot clock late in the second quarter. He was able to get to the free throw line often. The 10-time All-Star frustrated the Celtics, displaying the mobility he was missing a year ago. Kerr said he will increase Thompson’s minutes each game as a precaution following his return in January from an absence of more than two-and-a-half years for surgeries to his left knee and right Achilles tendon. The 76ers are looking to contend with the top teams in the Eastern Conference with Harden embarking on his first full season in Philadelphia after being swapped for Ben Simmons late last season in a trade with Brooklyn. Jordan Poole made a pretty bounce pass to a driving Draymond Green for a layup and all seemed perfectly well with the defending champions almost two weeks after Green punched Poole at practice October 5, then took a brief leave of absence from the team to work on his emotions.

Opening the season against the defending-champion Warriors was never going to be an easy task for the Los Angeles Lakers.

I put the work in here, so I live with those results. “And I don’t see myself missing the open looks I had tonight. I mean, I had four or five damn good looks from the 3-point line. That’s all you can do. Last season, Los Angeles shot 34.7 percent from 3-point range and posted a 28.6-percent mark in the preseason this year. When you get those opportunities, you take them.
