2006–07 Golden State Warriors season


The 2006–07 Golden State Warriors season was the 61st National Basketball Association season for the Golden State Warriors basketball franchise, and their 34th overall while based in Oakland, California. Following the 2005–06 season, in which the Warriors ranked last in their division, the team roster was greatly revamped following a blockbuster eight-player deal with the Indiana Pacers in January 2007. After an average start to the 2006–07 season, Golden State made a dramatic turn-around, ending the year on a 16–5 run, and capturing the eighth seed in the Western Conference, marking their return to the post-season after a thirteen-year hiatus, having last made the playoffs in 1994. The Warriors met the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs, and shocked many in the basketball world when they defeated the Mavericks four games to two, becoming the third eighth-seeded team in NBA history to eliminate a first-seeded team in the playoffs, following the Denver Nuggets in 1994, and the New York Knicks in 1999. However, the Warriors met the Utah Jazz in the second round, and were defeated one game to four.
The Warriors would not make the playoffs again until 2013.
“We Believe” became the Warriors’ slogan for the last two months of the season and the playoffs.
