==Franchise history==
===Philadelphia Warriors===
[[Image:PhiladelphiaWarriors.gif|left|100px]] The Warriors were founded in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]] in [[1946]] as the '''Philadelphia Warriors,''' a charter member of the [[Basketball Association of America]]. They were owned by Pat Tyrrell, who also owned the [[Philadelphia Ramblers]] of the [[American Hockey League]]. Tyrell hired [[Eddie Gottlieb]], a longtime basketball promoter in the Philadelphia area, as coach and general manager. He named the team after an early professional team in the city.
Led by early scoring sensation [[Joe Fulks]], they won the championship in the league's inaugural [[1946-47 NBA season|1946-47 season]] by defeating the Chicago Stags, four games to one. (The BAA became the [[National Basketball Association]] in 1949.) Gottlieb bought the team in [[1951]].
The Warriors won their only other championship as a Philadelphia team in the [[1955-56 NBA season|1955-56 season]], defeating the [[Detroit Pistons|Fort Wayne Pistons]] four games to one. The stars of this era in the team's history were [[Paul Arizin]] and [[Neil Johnston]]. In 1959, the team signed draft pick [[Wilt Chamberlain]]. Known as "Wilt the Stilt," Chamberlain quickly began shattering NBA scoring records and changed the style of play forever. On March 2, 1962, in a Warrior "home" game played in [[Hershey, Pennsylvania]], Chamberlain scored 100 points against the Knickerbockers, a single-game record.
===San Francisco Warriors===
[[Image:SanFranciscoWarriors.png|left|San Francisco Warriors]]In 1962, [[Franklin Mieuli]] purchased the majority shares of the team and relocated the franchise to the [[San Francisco Bay Area]], renaming them the San Francisco Warriors, playing most of their home games at the [[Cow Palace]] (located on the border between [[San Francisco]] and [[Daly City, California|Daly City]]), though occasionally playing home games in nearby cities such as [[Oakland, California|Oakland]] and [[San Jose, California|San Jose]]. The Warriors won the [[1963-64 NBA season|1963-64]] Western Division crown, losing the NBA championship series to the Boston Celtics, four games to one.
In 1965, the Warriors drafted [[Rick Barry]] in the first round. Barry was named NBA Rookie of the Year in his first season, then led the Warriors to the NBA finals in the [[1966-67 NBA season|1966-67 season]], where the team lost (four games to two) to the team that replaced the Warriors in Philadelphia, the [[Philadelphia 76ers|76ers]]. Angered by management's failure to pay him certain incentive awards he felt he was due, Barry sat out the [[1967-68 NBA season|1967-68 season]], joining the [[Oakland Oaks (ABA)|Oakland Oaks]] of the rival [[American Basketball Association]] the following year. After several seasons in the ABA, Barry rejoined the Warriors in 1972.
With the opening of the [[Oakland Arena|Oakland Coliseum Arena]] in 1966, the Warriors began scheduling increasing numbers of home games at that venue. The [[1970-71 NBA season|1970-71 season]] would be the team's last as the San Francisco Warriors. They changed their name to the Golden State Warriors for the [[1971-72 NBA season|1971-72 season]], playing almost all home games in Oakland. Six "home" games were played in [[San Diego, California|San Diego]] during that season but more significantly, none were played in [[San Francisco]] or Daly City.
===Golden State Warriors===
[[Image:80sGoldenStateWarriorsLogo.gif|100px|right]] The Warriors won their only championship on the West Coast in [[1974-75 NBA season|1974-75]]. In what many consider the biggest upset in the history of the NBA, the Warriors defeated the heavily favored [[Washington Wizards|Washington Bullets]] in a four-game sweep. That team was coached by former Warrior [[Al Attles]], and led on the court by [[Rick Barry]], [[Jamaal Wilkes]] and [[Phil Smith]]. So little was felt of the team's chances in the playoffs, even by their home fans, that the Coliseum Arena scheduled other events during the dates of the NBA playoffs. As a result, the Warriors did not play their championship series playoff games in Oakland; rather, they played at the Cow Palace in Daly City.
====Late 1980s-1994====
After a subpar stretch in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the team had another successful string of wins in the late 1980s/early 1990s with the high scoring trio of point guard [[Tim Hardaway]], guard [[Mitch Richmond]], and forward [[Chris Mullin (basketball)|Chris Mullin]] (collectively known as "Run T-M-C" after the rap group [[Run-D.M.C.]]). However, with then coach [[Don Nelson]] wishing to get frontcourt players to compliment his run-and-gun system, made a trade that broke up the Run T-M-C core by sending Richmond to the [[Sacramento Kings]] for [[Billy Owens]] while bypassing [[Dikembe Mutombo]], who was selected next by the [[Denver Nuggets]]. Nelson was brought to the team by [[Jim Fitzgerald]], who owned the team between [[1986-87 NBA season|1986]] and [[1994-95 NBA season|1995]]. The following year, [[1993-94 NBA season|1993-94]], with first-round draft pick and Rookie of the Year [[Chris Webber]] playing alongside [[Latrell Sprewell]], the Warriors made the playoffs.
====1995-1999: Crashing Down====
[[Image:Golden State Warriors logo.png|100px|right]]
The season after that, however, saw a rift form between Webber, Sprewell and Nelson. All three soon left the team, and the organization went into a tailspin. [[1994-95 NBA season|1994-95]] was also the first season under current team owner [[Christopher J. Cohan|Chris Cohan]]. Former [[General Manager|GM]] [[Garry St. Jean]] and [[Dave Twardzik]] receive much of the blame for the Warriors' struggles since then. St. Jean brought in several players, such as [[Terry Cummings]], [[John Starks (basketball player)|John Starks]], and [[Mookie Blaylock]], who were well past their primes. Twardzik drafted several flops, such as [[Todd Fuller]] (while [[Kobe Bryant]] was still available) and Steve Logan (who never played an NBA game). St. Jean did, however, draft the future 2-time NBA [[slam dunk]] champion [[Jason Richardson]] (from [[Michigan State]]), who would become a key player on the team for years to come.
====2000-2003: Renewed Hope====
For a few years, with rising stars [[Antawn Jamison]] and guard [[Gilbert Arenas]] leading the team, the Warriors seemed like a team on the rise. In the end the young Warriors just did not have enough in the ultra-competitive Western Conference. After the [[2002-03 NBA season|2002-03 season]], Garry St. Jean's earlier mistakes of committing money to players like [[Danny Fortson]], [[Adonal Foyle]] and [[Erick Dampier]] were painfully felt by Warriors fans when the team was unable to re-sign up-and-coming star [[Gilbert Arenas]], despite Arenas's desire to stay in the Bay Area.
====2004-2005: Building Up====
After spending two years in the Warriors front office as a special assistant, [[Chris Mullin]] succeeded [[Garry St. Jean]] and assumed the title of Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations. Among his first moves were the hiring of three former teammates to help run the organization: Mitch Richmond (special assistant), [[Mario Elie]] (assistant coach) and [[Rod Higgins]] (General Manager). Mullin hoped to build the team around Richardson, Dunleavy, and Murphy--complementing them with experience in [[Derek Fisher]], a free agent signed by Golden State after playing a key role on three championship [[Los Angeles Lakers|Lakers]] squads, [[Calbert Cheaney]], a playoff-tested sharpshooter and [[Adonal Foyle]], an excellent shot-blocker who is perhaps better known for his off-court work as founder of the campaign finance reform organization, [[Democracy Matters]]. The team also drafted 7-foot center [[Andris Biedrins]] from Latvia (11th overall). At the 2005 trading deadline, Mullin further added to the team by acquiring guard [[Baron Davis]], bringing the team its first "superstar" since Mullin himself.
====2006-Present: Glimmers of Hope====
Warriors fans hoped that [[2005-06 NBA season|2005-06]] would finally be the season that the team ended their playoff drought. Despite the poor play of newly re-signed [[Mike Dunleavy, Jr.]] and the broken hand of first round draft pick Ike Diogu, the Warriors enjoyed a great start to the 2005-06 season. They entered the new year with a winning percentage over .500 for the first time since 1994, but lost their first five games of 2006 and managed to win only 13 more games through the end of March. Davis failed to remain healthy and played in just 54 games. He suffered a sprained right ankle in mid-February and did not return for long before being listed as an inactive player the remainder of the season. The injury-prone Davis has not played a full season since the 2001-02 campaign. Though Davis is widely considered a star player, he often found himself at odds with coach [[Mike Montgomery]]. On [[April 5]], [[2005-06 NBA season|2006]], the Warriors were officially eliminated from playoff contention with a 114-109 overtime loss to the [[New Orleans Hornets|Hornets]], extending their playoff drought to 12 seasons.
In the [[2006 NBA Draft]], the Warriors selected center [[Patrick O'Bryant]] with the 9th overall selection. The seven-foot O'Bryant had just finished his sophomore year at [[Bradley University]]. They also traded Derek Fisher to the [[Utah Jazz]] for guards [[Devin Brown]], [[Andre Owens]] and [[Keith McLeod]], and signed training-camp invitees [[Matt Barnes]], [[Anthony Roberson]] and [[Dajuan Wagner]]. Brown, Owens, Wagner, [[Chris Taft]] and [[Will Bynum]] were all waived before the regular season started. Barnes and Roberson both made the roster, Barnes establishing himself in the rotation, while Roberson was waived in January.
On [[August 29]], [[2006]], Golden State announced that it had bought out the remaining two years of head coach [[Mike Montgomery]]'s contract and hired previous Golden State and former [[Dallas Mavericks]] coach [[Don Nelson]] to take over in his place. Since Nelson's first stint as Warriors coach ended in 1995, the team had used eight different head coaches: [[Bob Lanier (basketball)|Bob Lanier]] (interim 1995) [[Rick Adelman]] (1995-1997), [[P.J. Carlesimo]] (1997-1999), [[Garry St. Jean]] (1999-2000), [[Dave Cowens]] (2000-2001), [[Brian Winters]] (2001-2002), [[Eric Musselman]] (2002-2004), and [[Mike Montgomery]] (2004-2006). Since 1995, the best record the Warriors have finished a season with is 42-40, obtained in the [[2006-07 NBA season]]
====2006-07:Playoffs, At Long Last====
Entering the 2006-2007 season, the Warriors held the active record (12) for the most consecutive seasons without a playoff appearance (see [[Active NBA non-playoff appearance streaks]]). The [[2006-07 NBA season|2006-07 season]] brought new hope to the Warriors and the Warriors faithful. Fans hope that the Warriors will eventually find themselves among the NBA's elite with [[Don Nelson]] leading a healthy [[Baron Davis]], an ever-improving [[Jason Richardson]], and future stars [[Monta Ellis]] and [[Andris Biedrins]].
On [[January 17]], [[2007]], Golden State traded [[Troy Murphy]], [[Mike Dunleavy, Jr.]], [[Ike Diogu]], and [[Keith McLeod]] to the [[Indiana Pacers]] for forward [[Al Harrington]], forward/guard [[Stephen Jackson]], guard [[Sarunas Jasikevicius]], and forward [[Josh Powell]]. This move instantly catapulted GM [[Chris Mullin]] into the approval of the entire Warriors fanbase by getting rid of huge financial burdens in Dunleavy and Murphy. Now, the Warriors will seek to "run and gun" their way to the playoffs with a much more athletic and talented team. The trade also gives the Warriors good salary cap space for the future. The Warriors on [[January 24]] won the first game with their revamped team, with encouraging play from Monta Ellis, Al Harrington, and Baron Davis against the [[New Jersey Nets]], with a buzzer beater from Monta Ellis.
On [[February 5]], [[2007]], the Warriors played the Pacers for the first time since the 8-man trade on January 17, 2007. The Warriors won 113-98, with [[Stephen Jackson]] scoring a season-high 36 points against his former team.
On [[March 4]], [[2007]], came the turning point in the Warriors season. They suffered a heartbreaking 107-106 loss in Washington handing them their 6th straight loss when Gilbert Arenas hit a technical free throw with less than 1 second remaining. The loss dropped them to 26-35 and they were so angry that it would inspire them into a point of total determination. They would charge into the playoffs with a 16-5 winning run to claim the 8th spot in the Western Conference.
On [[March 5]], [[2007]], the Warriors finally suited up an entire team since the beginning of the season. The Warriors beat the [[Detroit Pistons]] 111-93, snapping their 6 game losing streak and notching their first win on the tail end of a back-to-back. Jason Richardson scored a season-high 29 points, and Baron Davis came back from rehab to score 15 points.
On [[March 12]], [[2007]], the Warriors ended the [[Dallas Mavericks]] 17-game win streak. [[Mickael Pietrus]] had 20 points, and 4 other players had 16 each.
On [[April 18]], [[2007]], the Warriors clinched their first playoff bid since 1994 with a resounding 120-98 victory in their season finale at [[Portland Trail Blazers|Portland]]. Their first playoff series will be a good one against the [[Dallas Mavericks]]. They will be slight underdogs despite sweeping the season series against Dallas 3-0 and in 2005-2006 3-1. They head into Dallas with confidence having won 5 straight regular season road games vs the Mavericks, all by 3 points or less.
During the Golden State Warriors' incredible run for the playoffs in the 2006-07 NBA season, the song [[It's Not Over (Daughtry song)|"It's Not Over"]] was played on [[KNBR]]'s Fitz & Brooks before every weekday game starting [[March 5]], [[2007]]. The Warriors closed out the regular season (42-40) on a 16-5 run while facing the toughest opponent schedule during that stretch and clinched their first playoff birth since the [[1993-94 NBA season|1993-94 season]].
{{Current|date=April 2007}}
On [[April 22]], [[2007]], the Warriors had their first playoff game in 12 years, and beat the [[Dallas Mavericks]] 97-85, holding star [[Dirk Nowitzki]] to just 4 of 16 shooting, making it 6 straight against the NBA best 67 game winners. In Game 2, The Warriors kept the game close, shutting down the Mavericks 3-point shooting and they were only down by a 2-point deficit by the half. But the Warrior's mental toughness went down when the Mavericks came back with scoring runs, taking advantage by scoring off the Warrior's turnovers. The Mavericks finally broke the losing streak against the Warriors, crushing them 112-99 in Dallas. [[Baron Davis]] and [[Stephen Jackson]] were both ejected from the game, Davis in the 3rd and Jackson in the 4th. [[Dirk Nowitzki]] rebounded with 23 points in the contest. Then the Warriors bounced back with a 109-91 win at home and lead 2-1 as Jason Richardson scored 30 to lead all scorers placing the Mavericks into a must win situation for Game 4. In the fourth game of the series, Golden State won 103-99 to put Dallas on the brink of a surprising elimination. A close Game 5 saw the Mavs eke out a 6-point win of 118-112 to send the 3-2 series back to California. In game 6 the Warriors battled through a tough first half. Leading by 2 at haltime they came out on fire in the third quarter and ultimately won in a blowout. They will play the Jazz or Rockets in the second round.
On [[May 3]], [[2007]] the Warriors, led by Jackson's game-high 33 points, obtained their fourth win against the Dallas Mavericks, becoming only the first 8th-seed team to ever beat a 1st-seed team in a seven-game series in arguably the biggest first round upset in NBA Playoff history, winning 111-86.
