The Golden State Warriors (6-8) face the Phoenix Suns (8-5) on Wednesday night. Tipoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Below we continue our NBA odds series with a Warriors-Suns prediction and pick. Golden State has won three of its last four games and currently sits in 11th in the Western Conference. The Warriors are […]

Klay Thompson’s ramp up toward his typical level of playing time is over. He’s averaged just over 32 minutes in the Golden State Warriors’ last seven games, just a couple less than the 32-year-old got in 2018-19 before injuries took away two-and-half seasons of his prime. Thompson knows he’ll never be the player he was […]

The Golden State Warriors are off to a sub-.500 start to the 2022-2023 NBA season. But Draymond Green is not worried. The Warriors’ star forward recently commented on the Dubs’ chances of repeating as NBA champions, per Sam Amick of The Athletic. “And then in the West, I was looking at the other day and […]

At this point in the season, Jonathan Kuminga just hasn’t had the breakthrough campaign many believed he was in line for. The Golden State Warriors stud has struggled with consistency, and the fact that there’s just not enough playing time available for him clearly has a significant impact on his lackluster season thus far. Nevertheless, […]

To say that Klay Thompson has been struggling to start the season for the Golden State Warriors would be an understatement. So much so, that his slow start has prompted a fiery message from the five-time All-Star himself, as Thompson called out his naysayers for doubting his ability to come out of his recent slump. […]

Lost amid James Wiseman’s G-League assignment is what the former No. 2 overall pick’s stay in Santa Cruz actually means for the Golden State Warriors this season. Draymond Green and Kevon Looney split all available minutes at center once Golden State returned from its winless five-game road trip, with Steve Kerr even starting Jordan Poole […]

The Golden State Warriors earned a much-needed feel-good win on Monday, routing the San Antonio Spurs 132-95 at Chase Center. Maybe a blowout home victory over a short-handed, rebuilding team absent three guards from its normal rotation won’t give the defending champions the jolt of momentum required to overcome their early-season struggles. Even if the […]

Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson has gone through the wringer over the last few years. After tearing his ACL and rupturing his Achilles, the sharpshooter missed two full seasons before returning in 2021-22 and averaging an impressive 20.2 points on 38% shooting from downtown in 32 games. But, that hasn’t stopped the critics from […]

The Golden State Warriors blew the San Antonio Spurs out of the water Monday night at home, but not before team legend and former NBA All-Star point guard Tim Hardaway found himself in hot water over a distasteful on-air comment he made during the broadcast. Tim Hardaway made a poor decision to use the term […]

The Golden State Warriors have pressed pause on the James Wiseman experiment this season. Just before the 15-game mark of their season, the Warriors brass has decided to send their young big man to the G League. Once upon a time, Jordan Poole was dealt the same fate. After an inconsistent sophomore season, the team […]

The Golden State Warriors are currently in the middle of a tricky balancing act between wanting to further supplement their championship core led by Stephen Curry and wanting to set themselves up for a future beyond their franchise cornerstone. The Warriors have a collection of young prospects, led by Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga, and Moses […]

The Golden State Warriors finally earned a comfortable victory. Playing on the second night of a back-to-back without a resting Klay Thompson, the defending champions routed the San Antonio Spurs 132-95 at Chase Center on Monday behind a barrage of splashed triples and forced turnovers. Jordan Poole led the charge from the opening tip, dropping […]

James Wiseman took the floor for the first time in three games on Monday. The third-year big man’s minutes weren’t an indication he was suddenly back in the Golden State Warriors’ evolving rotation, though. Wiseman only got off the bench because his team was salting away a blowout win over the San Antonio Spurs, giving […]

The Golden State Warriors haven’t found it easy at all to defend the championship they shed blood and tears for. A 122-115 defeat to the Sacramento Kings that knocked the Warriors to 5-8 on the season, keeping them winless (0-7) on the road thus far. And at the heart of the reigning champion’s struggles is […]

Make no mistake. Jordan Poole definitely isn’t the driving force behind the Golden State Warriors’ ongoing bench struggles. But as Steve Kerr keeps searching for rotational answers behind his team’s “foundational six,” Draymond Green honed in on a nuanced dynamic he believes has contributed to poor early-season play from Golden State’s reserves. Here’s how the […]

The Sacramento Kings beat the Golden State Warriors at their own game Sunday night, pulling away for a 122-115 win over the defending champions courtesy of splashed three-pointers and forced turnovers. The Warriors’ I-80 rivals, it bears reminding, aren’t the on-court trainwreck they’ve been for the better part of the last two decades. Sacramento has […]

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors made history on Sunday night against the Sacramento Kings. However, it isn’t exactly the kind of record they would be proud of. The Warriors lost to the Kings, 122-115, to drop to 5-8 on the season. It is their sixth defeat in their last eight games, and making […]

Moses Moody started off this season as a regular in the Golden State Warriors’ rotation despite playing sparingly last season as a rookie. He was averaging around 16 minutes a game off the bench but his playing time has dropped off recently. Against the Sacramento Kings on Nov. 7 he played only eight minutes and […]

Remember when a Kevin Durant reunion with the Golden State Warriors was a real possibility? During the height of the Brooklyn Nets star’s trade request, the Dubs were among the teams rumored to trade for the star. In the end, KD reneged on his trade request, choosing instead to stay with the team. That’s not […]

The Golden State Warriors logged back-to-back wins on Friday after a massive win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Chase Center. This was thanks in large part to another sublime performance by the great Stephen Curry, who pretty much put the Dubs on his back in what was an awe-inspiring 40-point explosion. Despite this recent […]

With the Golden State Warriors struggling to start the 2022-23 season, Stephen Curry isn’t high on a lot of MVP lists. But not on Paul Pierce, who warned everyone not to count out the sharpshooter. On Saturday, Pierce shared his Top 5 MVP candidates through one month of NBA basketball. While he chose Giannis Antetokounmpo, […]

Odds are against Jordan Poole establishing himself as the greatest shooter ever. He probably won’t win back-to-back MVPs whether or not one of them is unanimous. As much as the most optimistic fans cross their fingers otherwise, Poole is unlikely to win three more titles with the Golden State Warriors, too. Just because he’s bound […]

Klay Thompson went 3-of-13 from the field on Friday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, missing all but one of his two-point tries and going 2-of-7 from beyond the arc. His nine points in the Golden State Warriors’ hard-fought 106-101 win marked the seventh time this season Thompson has finished a game with at least as […]

The start to the 2022-23 NBA season has been wild to say the least. Rebuilding teams are dominating, while title contenders are struggling, and it’s led to absolute chaos pretty much every day there are games. Two such supposed title contenders that have struggled mightily to open the season are the Golden State Warriors and […]

The Golden State Warriors continued to build on their dynasty last season when they won the 2022 NBA Finals. So far to start the 2022-23 season, though, the Warriors haven’t looked anything like the team that just won a championship only a few months ago. They currently sport a 5-7 record, and without Stephen Curry’s […]

Stephen Curry has done it again. The Golden State Warriors came into their matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers as heavy underdogs. The Dubs have mightily struggled this season, so many expected them to bow to the white-hot Cavs. However, Curry refused to let that happen, taking control of the game up until the final minute. […]

Stephen Curry willed his team to a much-needed victory again on Friday night, dropping 40 points on the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Golden State Warriors’ hard-fought 106-101 victory. He not only scored at least 40 points for the second game in a row, but dominated the fourth quarter in truly singular fashion just like he […]

The Golden State Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 106-101 at Chase Center, erasing a double-digit second-half deficit behind much-improved play from the bench, dogged defense and palpable team-wide determination. Draymond Green dominated on both ends despite scoring just two points. Andrew Wiggins had 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting, making life hard on Darius Garland and […]

Stephen Curry came up clutch for the Golden State Warriors in their comeback victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night. In the process, he even replicated an old-man record that Michael Jordan last achieved way back in 2002. The Warriors sharpshooter finished with 40 points to propel the Dubs to the 106-101 win over […]

If you missed Friday’s matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, then you better get on YouTube at the soonest possible time to check out the highlights. It was another classic performance from the great Stephen Curry as he willed the defending champions back to a 106-101 win against the Cavs. Curry […]

The Golden State Warriors are off to a rough start to the 2022-23 season. At 4-7, they are struggling on both sides of the ball, especially on defense. One suggestion floating around is to invigorate the offense a little more by getting Jordan Poole in the starting lineup and moving Klay Thompson to the bench […]

According to Andre Iguodala, the one thing he’s most proud of in his career is that he has a “good relationship” with every single teammate he’s ever had. The Golden State Warriors veteran dropped this revelation on CJ McCollum’s podcast, and naturally, the New Orleans Pelicans guard had to double-check with Iggy if the same […]

The Golden State Warriors have been a perfectly average offensive team through the first 10 games of the regular season. The defending champions’ 112.2 offensive rating ranks 15th in the league, per NBA.com/stats, a standing that’s actually somewhat surprising given the simultaneous struggles of two of their top scoring options. Klay Thompson is shooting 41.5% […]

As their bench continues to flounder over three weeks removed from tipoff of the regular season, it’s become clear the Golden State Warriors have a much bigger on-court role for Andre Iguodala than initially anticipated. Too bad the four-time champion is still nowhere near ready to make his 2022-23 debut. Steve Kerr on Wednesday updated […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has already made it clear that he intends to give more minutes to guys like Ty Jerome and Anthony Lamb. This only means that there’s going to be less playing time for the Dubs’ younger players, particularly James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga. Warriors general manager Bob Myers is […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has been tinkering with his lineup of late as he tries his best to get the defending champs out of the slump they are currently in. One of these tactics includes more playing time for the team’s two-way players in Ty Jerome and Anthony Lamb. Both Jerome and […]

Jordan Poole has gotten off to a bit of a slow start this season and the Golden State Warriors have struggled alongside him. But there might be a valid reason for his struggles. According to CJ Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr believes the issue might be the added defensive […]

As many have said, the Sacramento Kings were robbed of the chance to tie the game against the Golden State Warriors on Monday after a costly no-call by the officials. To recall, the Warriors edged out the Kings 116-113 behind Stephen Curry’s incredible 47-point game. Before the final buzzer sounded, though, Sacramento was still able […]

There’s no denying the Golden State Warriors’ current level of play leaves them well short of earning the status as a top-tier title contender. As his 4-6 team continues searching for answers with the holidays fast approaching, though, Golden State president of basketball operations Bob Myers is hardly pushing the panic button. In fact, he’s […]
