There have been several incredible Christmas Day games in NBA history, but for Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, one stands out among the rest: the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden State Warriors showdown. On Instagram, James reposted a Bleacher Report graphic declaring that 2016 Cavs-Warriors matchup as the greatest Christmas Day game ever. The […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is making significant progress in his recovery from shoulder injury, and he has actually taken the next step in his return to action. Curry has reportedly returned to the weight room and was even able to get some shots up on Saturday morning, an indication that his shoulder problem […]

There’s no denying James Wiseman already has the skill set to put up numbers for the Golden State Warriors. His career-high 30 points on 12-of-14 shooting in the short-handed Warriors’ blowout loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday provided ample evidence of that reality, Wiseman’s combination of size, explosiveness and budding skill around the paint […]

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry will be out for at least two more weeks following the left shoulder subluxation he suffered on Dec. 14, but the point guard is making good progress in his return from injury, according to the team. The Warriors released an injury update on the 34-year-old on Christmas Eve, confirming […]

The Golden State Warriors’ long-awaited Christmas matchup with the rival Memphis Grizzlies has lost some luster without Stephen Curry. Rest assured that both sides will be amped for another edition of basketball’s favorite rivalry regardless, ready to prove themselves in a battle between teams who fully believe they have what it takes to win the […]

People have a lot of options on how to spend their Christmas, but for die-hard basketball fans, they spend it watching NBA Christmas Day games. Christmas Day contests are an early spectacle in the NBA season. The festivities always feature several rivalry matchups with plenty of star power. For this piece, let’s rank the five best […]

If there is one thing Draymond Green isn’t lacking, it’s his belief and confidence on the Golden State Warriors no matter what adversity they face. The Warriors are struggling this season, and making matters even more concerning, they are the poorest team on the road this 2022-23. They are 3-16 on away games, which is […]

Klay Thompson isn’t exactly playing the best basketball of his career of late. He’s also been given the occasional night off here and there, but at this point, it’s hard to deny that the five-time All-Star is looking as good as ever — at least healthwise. Thompson himself has confirmed this notion. Speaking to Howard […]

The Golden State Warriors are in the midst of a brutal stretch right now. Without Stephen Curry in the picture, the harsh reality for the defending champs is that it’s very much possible that it only gets worse from here on out. Be that as it may, Draymond Green has chosen to remain positive despite […]

Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson got ejected for the first time in his career a couple of months ago after getting into it with Phoenix Suns stud Devin Booker. Thompson was heavily criticized for his antics, which also included some rather contentious comments from Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, who said that he doesn’t […]

Andrew Wiggins is officially questionable for Sunday’s showdown with the rival Memphis Grizzlies. Regardless, all signs point to the Golden State Warriors wing making his long-awaited return on Christmas day. Wiggins was a full participant in Golden State’s practice on Friday for the first time since straining his adductor in early December. Steve Kerr said […]

The Golden State Warriors have played like top-tier title favorites at home this season. No team in the league has fewer home losses than the defending champions’ two, and their +12.9 net rating in San Francisco is the second-best home discrepancy in the NBA, per Cleaning the Glass. But the Warriors, unfortunately, can’t play every […]

Steve Kerr watched Kevin Durant win consecutive finals MVPs with the Golden State Warriors from 2016-2018. There were widespread doubts about Durant’s ability to return to that form following his Achilles tear and departure from the Bay Area after the 2018-19 season. Three years later, the former MVP is at the top of his game […]

The Golden State Warriors got the stuffing beat out of them against the Nets in Brooklyn on Wednesday night. The fans in attendance made sure to add insult to injury against Draymond Green and Jordan Poole. With the score already a cartoonish 95-54, Jordan Poole headed to the free throw line after getting fouled by […]

The Brooklyn Nets completely embarrassed the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, 143-113. Stephen Curry was out of action in this one as the former back-to-back MVP continues to rehab a shoulder injury that is expected to keep him out for a few weeks. There’s no denying that Steph’s absence played a key role in […]

Right now, there’s no denying that the Golden State Warriors are in a heap of trouble. As long as Stephen Curry is out injured, this team is going to struggle mightily. Their performances over the last four games with Curry sidelined are a clear testament to this fact. The Dubs have lost three out of […]

Stephen Curry has been out of action for the Golden State Warriors for the past four games due to a left shoulder injury. The Dubs have, unsurprisingly, lost three out of those four contests. To make matters worse, the shorthanded Warriors have lost by a combined margin of 68 points over their last two games […]

Christmas is going to be a busy day for the NBA as a handful of teams take part in marquee matchups that could have a significant impact on the rest of the season. One of them happens to be a highly-anticipated matchup between the Memphis Grizzlies and defending champions Golden State Warriors. For his part, […]

The Golden State Warriors are feeling anything but jolly during the holiday season. They are in the midst of a painfully unsuccessful road trip and are just 15-18 on the season. Back-to-back blowout losses in New York have put them at a new low in an already miserable season. After losing by 38 to the […]

Patrick Baldwin Jr. ranks extremely low on the Golden State Warriors’ list of top defensive matchups for Kevin Durant. Andrew Wiggins would’ve been assigned that near-impossible assignment on Wednesday night had he been available. Klay Thompson definitely would’ve gotten a few possessions checking Durant if the Warriors weren’t playing on a back-to-back, too. Jonathan Kuminga has […]

Honing in on his numbers alone against the Brooklyn Nets makes it seem like James Wiseman made a convincing case for a permanent rotation spot with the Golden State Warriors. He poured in a career-high 30 points on Wednesday night, shooting 12-of-14 from the field and draining his only 3-point attempt. Wiseman’s blend of size, […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ last two starts could be summed up using two words: uninspired and unfocused. Brooklyn fell behind by 18 and 19 points early in wins over the Toronto Raptors and Detroit Pistons. The team emphasized the importance of opening with greater urgency heading into Wednesday’s matchup with the Golden State Warriors. “(There) definitely […]

No one expected the Golden State Warriors to beat the Brookyn Nets on Wednesday. Not with Klay Thompson joining Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins, Donte DiVincenzo and JaMychal Green on the bench. Not with Kevin Durant and the surging Nets re-staking their claim as a top-tier Eastern Conference contender. And certainly not as the defending champs […]

For a team that was supposed to be mounting a strong title defense, the Golden State Warriors are looking like a team that might not even make the playoffs. With each loss, the Warriors continue to dig a deeper hole. Although head coach Steve Kerr is well aware of the uphill battle they face, he […]

The Golden State Warriors were outclassed by the surging New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, falling 132-94 despite a spirited first half effort.

Stephen Curry made the trip from the Golden State to the City of Dreams to reunite with former Warrior Kevin Durant at the latter’s star-studded dinner party on Sunday. Durant and his longtime manager Rich Kleiman hosted a Boardroom holiday dinner at The Nines in New York City, according to Page Six, with Curry and […]

For three seasons, the Golden State Warriors basically became the epitome of when a bored 2K player cranks up the sliders to 100. The Warriors infamously added Kevin Durant to a 73-win team led by the dynastic core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green and proceeded to run roughshod on the league, winning […]

The Golden State Warriors have been the dynasty that has run the NBA for the past decade or so. They have won four of the last eight NBA championships, and for a point in time, it simply looked like there were no teams that could even come close to beating them. That stretch lasted from […]

With Stephen Curry on the sidelines, the Golden State Warriors are just hoping to tread water until his return from injury. The exact date of his return remains up in the air, but he did recently drop some insight on where he’s at with his recovery. During the Warriors’ loss against the New York Knicks […]

The Knicks got 21 points from Brunson, while Quickley played like a […]

The Stephen Curry-less Golden State Warriors stood no chance against the red-hot New York Knicks on Tuesday night. It was a comfortable win for the Knicks who just kept on building on their lead before delivering a brutal knockout punch in the fourth period, outscoring the Dubs 32-13 in the final frame. The final score […]

The woefully short-handed Golden State Warriors were routed by the surging New York Knicks on Tuesday, falling 132-94 at Madison Square Garden despite a spirited first half. Here are three key reactions from the defending champions’ loss on the first leg of a difficult back-to-back in the Tri-State Area. Losing numbers games The Warriors dressed […]

The Golden State Warriors have been badly bitten by the injury bug, and now, they are spreading it as well. On Tuesday against the New York Knicks, the Warriors saw another injury, but not on their players bur instead on a referee. The Dubs had a part in it, though, as Jordan Poole accidentally tripped […]

Stephen Curry is currently sidelined by a left shoulder injury, poised to miss at least two-and-a-half more weeks of action. Once the Golden State Warriors superstar returns to the floor, though, rest assured he’ll pick up right where he left off in part due to the late-career training regimen that’s taken Curry’s athleticism to new […]

Stephen Curry, obviously, won’t be suiting up for the Golden State Warriors’ only trip to Madison Square Garden this season. Coming off their most complete road win of the season, though, at least there was a chance Andrew Wiggins would return to the Warriors for Tuesday’s game against the New York Knicks. Unfortunately, it turns […]

Without a doubt, Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter to ever step foot on a basketball court. But, Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard wants his respect too, and believes he should be in that conversation just behind the Golden State Warriors icon. Via ClutchPoints: “Obviously I think Steph is the greatest ever, but I […]

The Golden State Warriors, obviously, aren’t going anywhere without Stephen Curry. But given how Jordan Poole played on Sunday, the possibility of the defending champions successfully weathering the storm of their franchise player’s absence suddenly seems a lot more realistic. Jordan Poole and the short-handed Warriors earned one of their most complete wins of the […]
