At least the Golden State Warriors’ biggest early-season problems weren’t the driving force behind their latest loss away from the friendly confines of Chase Center, right? The defending champs fell to the Miami Heat 116-109 at FTX Arena on Tuesday, crumbling in crunch-time of a competitive, back-and-forth affair between two struggling teams that desperately needed […]

Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson drained his 1,931st 3-pointer in his career on Tuesday night against the Miami Heat. This was an historic occasion for the Dubs shooting guard as he has now surpassed JR Smith for the 17th spot in made threes in the history of the NBA. This comes via the Warriors […]

Steve Nash was regarded as one of basketball’s brightest young coaches when the Brooklyn Nets hired him in September 2020. He’s out just over two years later, a pair of failed seasons, never-ending drama and wholly dispiriting beginning to 2022-23 prompting Nash’s mutually agreed upon departure from Brooklyn. Nash, obviously, wasn’t the Nets’ only problem. […]

The Golden State Warriors (3-4) travel to the opposite coast to play the Miami Heat (2-5) on Tuesday. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 pm ET. Below we continue our NBA odds series with a Warriors-Heat prediction and pick. Golden State is 3-4 coming off of a two-game losing streak. The Warriors are just 2-5 against […]

Golden State Warriors fans will have to wait longer before they get a glimpse again of Donte DiVincenzo donning the team’s threads on the court. According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, DiVincenzo will not see action until at least the end of Golden State’s upcoming three-game road trip, which begins Tuesday night in South […]

We’re already heading into November, but Dwight Howard still remains a free agent. The eight-time All-Star already has a few teams in mind, which also happens to include the defending champs Golden State Warriors. In a recent interview with Shannon Sharpe in his Club Shay Shay podcast, Howard made a handful of compelling arguments as to […]

The Golden State Warriors still remain to be one of the heavy favorites to go all the way this season because of the fact that they have Stephen Curry on their roster. There’s much more to just Steph, though, with this team packed with elite talent that makes them formidable enough to defend their crown […]

The Golden State Warriors definitely saw Jonathan Kuminga as a project when they selected him 7th overall in the 2021 NBA draft as part of the return they received for D’Angelo Russell back in 2020. While Kuminga has shown flashes of being difficult to stop when he makes his marauding attacks towards the rim, he […]

The Golden State Warriors fell to the Detroit Pistons 128-114 on Sunday, weary legs, widespread early shooting struggles and their penchant for lackadaisical defense contributing to a second loss in as many days. Needless to say, going 0-2 against the lottery-bound Pistons and Charlotte Hornets isn’t exactly how the Warriors hoped to begin their first […]

Defense ailed the Golden State Warriors most again in Sunday’s 128-114 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Golden State fouled the hell out of the Pistons, sending them to the line for a whopping 38 free throws attempts. The Warriors were pounded on the defensive glass at times, resulting in 20 second-chance points. Detroit took easy […]

The Golden State Warriors wasted the chance to begin their first multi-game road trip of the season with a comeback victory. As tipoff of their tilt with the Detroit Pistons awaits, the defending champions have more to worry about than weary legs on the second half of a back-to-back, too. A resting Klay Thompson won’t […]

After a long and grueling rehab, James Wiseman is finally back to playing for the Golden State Warriors. The former second-overall pick missed the entirety of the 2021-22 season due to an injury he suffered in his rookie year. Now, Wiseman is balling out for the defending champions as they look to repeat this season. […]

The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Golden State Warriors in a nail bitter to secure their first home win, 120-113. It may have taken overtime to get the job done against a team led by the greatest shooter ever in Steph Curry, but it was an impressive win by this young group. The Hornets are now […]

While Klay Thompson continues to struggle with the Golden State Warriors, head coach Steve Kerr is not worried about him. After all, the veteran tactician knows what the sharpshooter is capable of and what he needs to recapture his old form. Thompson had another forgettable night on Saturday after he shot 1-of-7 from deep in […]

Stephen Curry certainly wasn’t the reason the Golden State Warriors lost to the Charlotte Hornets 120-113 on Saturday. After his team’s arduous second-half comeback was wasted in a frustrating overtime defeat, though, the reigning Finals MVP couldn’t help but shoulder some blame—rightfully so, too. Curry harped on his pair of three-point misses in the waning […]

The Golden State Warriors fell to the Charlotte Hornets in overtime 120-113 on Saturday, beginning both their first back-to-back and multi-game road trip of the season with a hard-fought yet ultimately frustrating defeat. Don’t blame Draymond Green for his team’s loss to an objectively inferior opponent, though. His fingerprints were all over Golden State’s second-half […]

After being a semi-regular in the Golden State Warriors’ rotation last season, Jonathan Kuminga’s playing time has leveled off in a big way this 2022-23. He’s averaging only 10.8 minutes per game, down from the 16.9 he saw last campaign. He was seen as a promising young talent, but has been unable to find minutes […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have kicked off their 2022-23 season by looking even worse than they did last season, and are sitting with an 0-5 record through their first five games. It has led some folks to wonder whether or not LeBron James would reconsider his future with the Lakers based on their horrible start […]

One could argue that it was the Memphis Grizzlies who gave the Golden State Warriors the biggest challenge during their majestic title run last season. Ja Morant definitely believes it. So much so, that the Grizzlies superstar is adamant that his team would have prevailed in their Western Conference Semifinals series had it not been […]

It’s obviously in Joe Lacob’s best financial interest to balk at expectations the Golden State Warriors payroll could soon explode into the $400-$500 million territory. Details of reporting about NBA owners’ yearning for a hard cap in the next CBA, though, reveal that Lacob’s summer talk about already being “in trouble with the rest of […]

The average NBA franchise has never been valuable, and we’re less than two weeks into a season where the Larry O’Brien Trophy seems truly up for grabs. As negotiations between owners and the players’ association on the next Collective Bargaining Agreement continue before the mid-December mutual opt-out deadline, though, league power brokers are pushing for […]

Klay Thompson has faced a barrage of adversity ever since he tore his ACL in the third quarter of the Golden State Warriors’ fateful Game 6 tussle against the Toronto Raptors. After missing the entire 2019-20 season, he then proceeded to tear his Achilles prior to the subsequent campaign, delaying his return to the court […]

The Golden State Warriors started off the season with an 11-man rotation. In their latest win against the Miami Heat, only 10 players took the court – leaving out second-year man Jonathan Kuminga. Kuminga was already being used sparingly for the team’s first four games. He played just over 10 minutes per contest in those […]

Golden State Warriors fans witnessed something they don’t normally see earlier this week – an angry Klay Thompson. The mild-mannered Splash Brother was animated in a heated confrontation against Devin Booker that eventually got him ejected in their loss to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. Thompson didn’t speak to reporters after the game, but everyone […]

The Golden State Warriors weren’t forcing Tyler Herro into the action over and over during the most critical moments of Thursday’s game against the Miami Heat by accident. Stephen Curry proved as much with just over five-and-a-half minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. After inbounding the ball, flying off a pin-down from Kevon Looney and […]

The Golden State Warriors logged another win on Thursday, taking down the Miami Heat, 123-110, behind the heroics of the Dubs’ superstar duo in Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Thompson has been struggling a bit of late, and he was recently ejected for the first time in his career after a verbal tussle with Phoenix […]

James Wiseman was only on the floor for 14 minutes on Thursday, the fewest he’s played in the Golden State Warriors’ first five games of the regular season. Definitely don’t take the young big man’s comparative lack of playing time as any negative referendum on his performance against the Miami Heat, though. After his team’s […]

His ongoing ramp-up toward a normal minutes load isn’t the only reason Klay Thompson has struggled in the season’s earliest going. As Steve Kerr remembers it, the Golden State Warriors sharpshooter has never been an especially good starter in his decorated career—even before it was put on hold for two-and-half years by an ACL tear […]

The Golden State Warriors’ floundering second unit could certainly use the defensive acumen and overall sense of stability provided by Andre Iguodala. As the 2022-23 season continues, though, it’s still unknown—publicly, at least—when he plans to debut. Iguodala spoke with reporters on Thursday for the first time since the regular season tipped off. While the […]

The Golden State Warriors already set a record for total payroll last season. Big-money extensions for Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins that kick in next year threaten to push the team’s total roster cost past $500 million come 2023-24, unless the Warriors shed tens of millions in salary. Could this season mark Draymond Green’s last […]

The Miami Heat (2-3) travel to the opposite coast to play the Golden State Warriors (2-2) on Thursday night. Tipoff is scheduled for 10:10 pm ET. Below we continue our NBA odds series with a Heat-Warriors prediction and pick. Miami is 2-3 fresh off a convincing win over the Blazers on Wednesday night. However, the […]

The Golden State Warriors enter the 2022-2023 NBA season once again as the hunted. That is because they found a way to lock down the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals and win their fourth title in the last eight years. Stephen Curry finally captured the elusive NBA Finals MVP. But, an argument can be […]

Based on what we saw go down between them during Tuesday’s high-octane matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns, you would think that Klay Thompson and Devin Booker have bad blood. This seemed to be the case after an incensed Thompson just wouldn’t stop talking smack to the Suns star — a […]

A lot has been said about Draymond Green’s controversial and brutal punch to Golden State Warriors teammate Jordan Poole during a preseason practice. However unlike many fans on social media who were overreacting when a video of the incident got leaked, Chicago Bulls swingman DeMar DeRozan has a different view. DeRozan emphasized the fights do […]

Draymond Green believes it’s up to him to fix the Golden State Warriors’ porous early-season defense. Even one of the most impactful, additive defenders in league history, though, couldn’t possibly plug all the leaks that have sprung during the defending champions’ 2-2 start to the regular season. Besides, Green’s sweeping influence can only extend so […]

At least the Golden State Warriors’ up-and-down start to the regular season has taken attention away from the lingering fallout of Draymond Green’s punch to Jordan Poole. As Andrew Wiggins sees it, though, his teammates already appear to be mending their fractured relationship. And even if they haven’t, it’s clear to him that Green and […]

Stephen Curry is no stranger to playing as a defending champion. He is well aware of the target on the Warriors’ back. Steph discussed the mindset of opponents when facing Golden State following the recent Dubs’ loss to the Phoenix Suns, per NBA Interviews on YouTube. “Teams will try to come at you,” Curry said. […]

The Phoenix Suns were supposed to be in the Western Conference Finals against the Golden State Warriors last season. It did not happen. They choked in the second round and lost to Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. But early on, the Suns are proving they’re for real once again and that became even more […]

If you did not know what the date was, you’d think that the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns were playing a playoff game Tuesday night in the desert instead of an early-season showdown between two legitimate NBA title contenders. The final score belies how tight and fierce the game was. Suns big man Deandre […]
