There’s no denying James Wiseman already has the skill set to put up numbers for the Golden State Warriors.

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.

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 Brooklyn Nets completely embarrassed the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, 143-113.

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, […]
