(lost to Jazz 1–4) The 2006–07 Golden State Warriors season was the 61st National Basketball Association (NBA) 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 led by regular season MVP Dirk Nowitzki in the first round of the playoffs, and shocked many in the basketball world when they defeated the Mavericks and Nowitzki four games to two, for their first playoff series win since 1991, and becoming the third eighth-seeded team in NBA history to eliminate a first-seeded team in the playoffs, and the first to do so over a 7 game series, following the Denver Nuggets in 1994, and the New York Knicks in the strike shortened 1999 season. However, the Warriors met the Utah Jazz in the second round, and were defeated four games to one.
The Warriors would not make the playoffs again until 2013.
Borrowing from the success of the Sacramento Kings’ 2004–2005 playoff marketing campaign, which the Sacramento Kings used the slogan “We Believe,” We Believe became the Warriors’ slogan for the last two months of the season and the playoffs.
