Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors are out for blood

By Martin RogersFOX Sports ColumnistThe evidence is all there, we’re just not fully conditioned to see it yet.The Golden State Warriors are the toughest, most rugged, most ruthless, most unapologetic, angriest, snarliest, most in-your-face team left in these NBA playoffs.That’s right, the Warriors.The Warriors, the team that won all those championships with swiftness and smiles and shooting and small ball.The Warriors, with nice guys like Stephen Curry who does things such as graduate from college in his spare time.The Warriors, with Klay Thompson, who no one dislikes, and Andrew Wiggins, who has spent most of his career being regarded as soft.Yet after three years without so much as a sniff of the latter stages of playoff action, this postseason has brought out a mean streak in Golden State, which, coupled with their talent and form, has generated an apparently unstoppable force.On Sunday, Wiggins gave an emphatic sign of the new times with a thunderous poster dunk on Luka Dončić, as the Warriors took a 3-0 lead over the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference finals. The slogans NBA teams use for their playoff runs are largely a tame and harmless marketing tool, designed to foster some local pride and generate additional buzz.Boston has "Celtic Pride," Phoenix had "Rally The Valley," the Mavericks have "Dallas In," none of which were either designed nor likely to elicit much terror in the hearts of rival teams.While the Warriors’ choice of "Gold Blooded" isn’t the most fearsome you’ve ever seen, it certainly has more growl to it than anyone else’s.And it sums up the way they are playing.
