Steph Curry is still out for at least the next few games. There’s no timetable for Andrew Wiggins’ return from an excused personal absence. Gary Payton II is definitely more than a month of away from playing, and the true nature Andre Iguodala’s status is pretty much completely unknown. The last thing the Golden State […]

The Golden State Warriors didn’t exactly get the season’s stretch run off to an ideal start. Don’t tell a defiant Klay Thompson the defending champions—back under .500 and just a half game above 11th in the Western Conference—won’t finally be able to shake off persistent two-way struggles before it’s too late, though. After the short-handed […]

Before the trade deadline, the idea of the Los Angeles Lakers winning a game in which LeBron James and Anthony Davis combined for 25 points on 8-of-25 shooting would have been inconceivable. And yet, not only was that the case in the Lakers’ spirited victory over the Golden State Warriors (albeit without Stephen Curry and […]

Yes, Stephen Curry wasn’t playing. Yes, it was only one game. But for one glorious Los Angeles night against the defending champion Golden State Warriors, the Lakers looked like the team fans hoped they would be in their 124-111 win. The 13-point difference made the game look closer than it was, as the Lakers led […]

The Golden State Warriors fell to the Los Angeles Lakers 124-111 on Thursday night. Lopsided as that score is, the game wasn’t even quite that close, either. Steve Kerr pulled most of his available regulars for good early in the fourth quarter, letting Moses Moody and Patrick Baldwin Jr. get run in extended garbage time. […]

The depleted Golden State Warriors got the season’s stretch run off to a rough start on Thursday, falling to the new-look Los Angeles Lakers 124-111. Here are three key reactions—complete with analysis, numbers and film—from the Dubs’ blowout loss to their Southern California rivals. Lakers dare Warriors bigs to shoot Draymond Green and Kevon Looney […]

Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis starred against his former team, the New Orleans Pelicans, on the final game before the All-Star break. He scored 28 points — on 13-for-17 shooting from the field — pulled down ten rebounds, and dished out five assists in the 120-102 Lakers win. So when Klay Thompson, Draymond […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James put together a solid all-around performance against the New Orleans Pelicans in the final game before the All-Star break. He scored 21 points — on 7-for-14 shooting from the field — grabbed six rebounds, and dished out six assists in the 120-102 Lakers win. So when Klay Thompson, Draymond […]

The Golden State Warriors head south down the 101 freeway to take on the Los Angeles Lakers. We’re in the home that Kobe built as we share our NBA odds series, make a Warriors-Lakers prediction and pick while showing you how to watch. The Warriors come out of the All-Star Break in a decent situation, […]

Gary Payton II’s move back to the Golden State Warriors during the NBA trade deadline was not exactly of the same magnitude as Kevin Durant’s blockbuster deal. However, Payton’s trade still sent shockwaves throughout the league not only because of the implications of the four-team trade but even more so because of the fact that […]

There is still no clear timetable for Stephen Curry’s return from a lower left leg injury, but it sure looks like the Golden State Warriors star is getting healthier as he works his way back. According to the latest update from the Warriors, Curry has made “good progress” so far and has even returned to […]

LeBron James has called his rebuilt team’s de facto second half “the most important” regular-season stretch of his career. Do the Golden State Warriors feel similarly in wake of a wholly disappointing first first four months of 2022-23? The answer better be yes, and not just because the defending champions’ hopes of repeating—and winning an […]

The Golden State Warriors are eager to get Steph Curry back on the court. The superstar is dealing with a lower left leg injury and has no timetable for his return. Fortunately for him and Golden State, he is making progress. Curry is taking a step forward in his injury rehab as the All-Star break […]

The Golden State Warriors’ title defense hasn’t exactly gone as planned. At 29-29 entering the six-week sprint toward the regular-season finish line, the defending champions are ninth in a tightly-packed Western Conference, with outside chances of both rising to third in the standings and missing the play-in tournament altogether. But before turning the page to […]

According to reports, teams such as the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Clippers were in the mix for Patrick Beverley before he eventually decided to go back home and sign with the Chicago Bulls. As it turns out, however, the Golden State Warriors also took their shot for the veteran, only for them to […]

The Miami Heat had the NBA world buzzing after they officially announced the arrival of Kevin Love in South Beach on Monday. Heat big man Bam Adebayo, who is coming off his second NBA All-Star Game appearance on Sunday night, had nothing but good things to say about Love joining the squad. It’s safe to […]

The TBS and TNT All-Star Game broadcast featured the “Inside the NBA” crew of Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Shaquille O’Neal, and Charles Barkley. They were also joined by Golden State Warriors’ star and fellow TNT crew member Draymond Green on the broadcast, with Green working as a sideline reporter. However, Green and Barkley got into […]

Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green is as savage as they come when it comes to talking trash. This is exactly why it’s very interesting to hear about his smack-talking prowess from his own peers that have experienced the same firsthand. For Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen, however, it appears that he hasn’t experienced the […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry gave Mac McClung his flowers after the Philadelphia 76ers guard and G Leaguer put on a show in the 2023 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. McClung almost had a 50-sweep on his way to the dunk title, with his second slam the only one receiving a 49 from Lisa Leslie. […]

The defending champion Golden State Warriors entered the 2022-23 campaign widely perceived as the favorites to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals once again. However, nearly 60 games through the season, it’s safe to say that the Warriors have fallen flat of their preseason expectations. At 29-29, the Warriors own just the ninth-best […]

The Golden State Warriors made a trade gone awry when they acquired Gary Payton II from the Portland Trail Blazers before the NBA trade deadline. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr spoke candidly on the medical fiasco that complicated what was meant to be a midseason boost for the defending champions. Kerr was asked on 95.7 […]

It looks like Kevin Durant is primed to make his Phoenix Suns debut real soon. The question now is whether or not the rest of the NBA is ready to see KD dominate the NBA alongside Devin Booker, Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton, and a new-look Suns side. For his part, Los Angeles Clippers head coach […]

As veteran guard Russell Westbrook tries to determine his next step, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas has rushed to the defense of the nine-time All-Star. Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, and Los Angeles Lakers big man all Anthony Davis called out the disparaging remarks about Westbrook being a toxic […]

After the departure of most of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 2016 championship roster, Kevin Love has long been in the middle of trade talks. Despite the enormous contract, it was inevitable for him to get moved until they restructured their contract with Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and the rest of the crew. Adding Donovan Mitchell this […]

The Golden State Warriors are stuck in limbo right now. Sure, it is a fate they have endured before as they weathered injuries to their star players from 2019-21. The end of that waiting game turned out pretty well, with the franchise winning their fourth championship in eight seasons in 2022. The team no longer […]

When Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry injured his lower-leg against the Dallas Mavericks Feb. 4, the hopes and dreams of every Warriors fan were put in peril. The prognosis of the injury wasn’t the worst, but it wasn’t exactly good either. Curry hasn’t played since the Mavericks game, but the good news is the […]

Whether you love him or hate him, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green tells it how he sees it. So, when the seasoned champion addressed the trade that sent 7-foot-0 center James Wiseman — the second overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft — to the Detroit Pistons, one could only accept his perspective. Not […]

There’s an obvious common denominator behind the Warriors’ last two games. The first contest saw Golden State win by nine while the second saw them fall by ten. Despite varying results, both games featured virtually non-existent defense from the Warriors. They gave up 130 points on average with the difference simply being that they scored […]

There’s no denying that the landscape in the entire NBA shifted after what turned out to be a frenetic NBA trade deadline. The West, in particular, got a whole lot tougher after Kevin Durant made his move to the Phoenix Suns. This followed KD’s former Brooklyn Nets teammate Kyrie Irving taking his talents over to […]

The Golden State Warriors have been the definition of the word “mid” for the entirety of the 2022-23 campaign thus far. At the time of writing, the Warriors have a 29-29 record, going 22-7 at home and 7-22 on the road. All in all, this amounts to a disappointing title defense effort. And with Stephen […]

No one really expected the Golden State Warriors to beat the LA Clippers on Tuesday night. Not only were the defending champions playing without both Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins on the second leg of a back-to-back, but the Clippers entered at full-strength, Ty Lue’s rotation reloaded after bringing in Eric Gordon, Mason Plumlee and […]

The revamped LA Clippers proved too much for the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday at Crypto.com Arena, sending the defending champions into the All-Star break at .500 with a 134-124 loss. Here are three key reactions from the fatigued, short-handed Warriors’ final game before a much-needed respite in advance of the season’s stretch run. Bench […]

Andrew Wiggins has been ruled out for the Golden State Warriors’ Tuesday night clash with the Los Angeles Clippers for personal reasons, per Chris Haynes. The good news for Golden State is that Klay Thompson is active. Thompson’s status was previously up in the air, but he will play in the latter half of a […]

Klay Thompson has far exceeded even optimistic expectations upon returning from two-and-a-half seasons lost to serious injury last January. He not only helped the Golden State Warriors win a remarkable fourth title in eight years in June, but has risen his game to a higher level since early December, flashing vintage scoring and shot-making form […]

The Golden State Warriors (29-28) visit the Los Angeles Clippers (31-28) on Tuesday night! Action tips off at 10:00 p.m. ET. Below we continue our NBA odds series with a Warriors-Clippers prediction, pick, and how to watch. Golden State has lost two of their last three games and sits in ninth place in the Western […]

The Golden State Warriors surely miss Stephen Curry as he remains sidelined with injury. But the team didn’t miss him as badly on Monday night thanks to Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and another standout game from Donte DiVincenzo. DiVincenzo did his best Steph Curry impression against the Washington Wizards. He drained five three-pointers on the […]

Steph Curry admitted on Monday he’s not sure what type of player James Wiseman will ultimately become. Like general manager Bob Myers and the Golden State Warriors‘ other head decision-makers, though, Curry seems certain the No. 2 overall pick of the 2020 NBA draft is better off with the Detroit Pistons. “[I have] a lot […]

The Golden State Warriors have extremely slim margin for error over the season’s remainder. A prolonged losing streak wouldn’t just make it much more difficult to make the playoffs in a loaded Western Conference, but perhaps put Golden State at legitimate risk of missing the play-in tournament—an ugly indication of the defending champions’ play this […]

Stephen Curry remains out indefinitely as he deals with his worrisome leg injury, but despite that, the Golden State Warriors star is keeping an optimistic attitude about his recovery. When asked Monday where he is in his recovery process, Curry admitted that it’s a slow process and he is still ways away from doing basketball […]
