The Warriors have dominated the postseason over the past couple of years, specifically since the Steve Kerr era.
Since Kerr was named the new head coach of Golden State before the 2014-15 season, the Warriors have made six NBA Finals appearances in eight years and are currently on the hunt for their fourth ring during that time span.
And before Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Finals, the Warriors have gone down 0-1 in a playoff series only twice. But their Game 1 loss to the Boston Celtics on Thursday night added another loss to that record.

The next time they lost a Game 1 was during the 2019 NBA Finals vs. the Toronto Raptors, where they lost that series in six games.
