A brief look back at the incident before we […]

The Golden State Warriors saw their last symbol of hope for this season vanish with the injury to Stephen Curry on Wednesday night.

The Golden State Warriors are not expecting Stephen Curry to return for “a couple of months” after suffering a broken left hand in the third quarter of Wednesday’s 121-110 loss to the Phoenix Suns.

Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes ensured to check on the status of Stephen Curry following an odd three-man collision that caused the Golden State Warriors point guard to break his left hand on Thursday, according to head coach Steve Kerr. Curry pushed the ball in transition and attempted to finish between Baynes and forward Kelly […]

Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob is still optimistic about his team despite the recent wave of injuries that have plagued them.

After their loss to the Utah Jazz, Patrick Beverley of the LA Clippers opened his post-game interview to offer his prayers to Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Stephen Curry who broke his hand in their game against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night. Pat Beverley started his postgame availabitly with a comment on Steph Curry’s injury: […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry sustained what appears to be a hand-injury after falling awkwardly in their game against the Phoenix Suns. Curry sustained the injury early in the third quarter as he attacked the basket. He got clipped in between Kelly Oubre Jr. and Aron Baynes, causing him to fall head first. He […]

The Golden State Warriors are in a transitory phase as a franchise. With Klay Thompson possibly out for the entire regular season and Kevin Durant now in Brooklyn, the Dubs are banking on their young players to get up to speed in a hurry. One of those players — top draft choice Jordan Poole — […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had a feeling the Dubs’ game against the New Orleans Pelicans was going to be a high-scoring affair.

The Golden State Warriors will finally get some much-needed reinforcements, as Willie Cauley-Stein and Alec Burks are set to make their 2019-20 NBA regular season debuts versus the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. One of Steve Kerr’s prized offseason acquisitions alongside D’Angelo Russell, Cauley-Stein was expected to take over the Dubs’ starting center spot before hurting […]

You knew it was happening. The Golden State Warriors were blown out on national television against the Los Angeles Clippers last week. And this past Saturday, the Warriors were again blown out by the young Oklahoma City Thunder. If you’re an avid Twitter, it was as if the apocalypse was amongst us. But alas, the […]

Kevin Durant teamed up this offseason with his good friend Kyrie Irving on the Brooklyn Nets, sending the Golden State Warriors scrambling for a back-up plan, which they found in the form of a sign-and-trade for D’Angelo Russell. However, recent news surrounding Irving makes him seem like a somewhat volatile character, though having “mood swings” […]

D’Angelo Russell has been a mystery since arriving in The Bay to play alongside the current version of the Golden State Warriors, one that no longer boasts the same firepower as the past five years. Following the first win of the season against the New Orleans Pelicans, it looks like the Warriors might have just […]

The Golden State Warriors acquired center Willie Cauley-Stein with the prospect of making him their new starting center. Fate would have other plans. The 7-foot big man missed the entire preseason with a left mid-foot sprain and has yet to suit up for the team, though he’s now “pretty close” to a return, potentially making […]

Draymond Green helped the Golden State Warriors bust out of a winless start to the 2019-20 season with a win over the New Orleans Pelicans, trotting out a 16-point, 17-rebound, 10-assists triple-double on Monday. The dynamic forward also used the opportunity to double down on his previous comments about his team and throw a quick […]

Kevin Durant’s venture to join the Brooklyn Nets will give him the opportunity to once again form a team from the ground up after spending three seasons with a well-constructed Golden State Warriors roster. Yet the two-time Finals MVP doesn’t have any delusions of making the Nets a supernova of a team like the Warriors’ […]

The Golden State Warriors have gotten off to a less-than-desirable start after making five straight runs to the NBA Finals. Losses to the Los Angeles Clippers in the home opener and the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road have been reason to question whether this team, as currently constructed, is capable of making the playoffs. […]

The Golden State Warriors nabbed their first win of the season against a shorthanded New Orleans Pelicans team, winning big by going small. Head coach Steve Kerr deployed a lineup of Stephen Curry, Jordan Poole, D’Angelo Russell, Glenn Robinson III, and Draymond Green. The final result was a 134-123 victory. Not only did the sixth-year […]

The Golden State Warriors got their proverbial monkey off their back, nabbing their first win of the season after losing the first two games by a combined 47 points.

The Michigan State basketball program produced several notable NBA stars from the likes of Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Scott Skiles, and Stephen Smith, among others. Apart from having spectacular careers in the pros, these amazing players were also among the select few who got their jerseys retired by the program. Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green […]

After losing their first two games of the 2019-20 NBA regular season in devastating fashion, the Golden State Warriors have been on the receiving end of some brutal assessments from fans and pundits alike. Superstar Stephen Curry has heard them all, but he recently revealed he doesn’t let the negative comments get to his head. […]

The Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green has never been one to beat around the bush. The Warriors cruised to a 134-123 victory against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday in their first win of the season — but he still wasn’t happy. Despite some promising signs on the night, the team’s defensive leader, Green, was […]

New Orleans Pelicans rookie Jaxson Hayes just got up and swatted Stephen Curry’s layup into the stands. Curry, who has mastered the art of the high-arching layup, was probably shocked that Hayes was able to go up that high for the block. OK ROOK!! pic.twitter.com/y0rrNb6wNv — New Orleans Pelicans (@PelicansNBA) October 29, 2019 Hayes was […]

Lonzo Ball has received a lot of criticism after being selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draftr by the Los Angeles Lakers. After being traded to the New Orleans Pelicans this offseason in the Anthony Davis trade, hopes were high that he could figure things out away from the bright […]

The Golden State Warriors have gotten off to a rough start this season, but are hoping to start turning things around tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans. Part of their issues have been the lack of energy from the roster, but Omari Spellman is doing his best to not let that happen in the team’s […]

The Golden State Warriors have lost their first two games of the season by getting blown out by the Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Golden State Warriors have been blown out in their first two games and people are starting to wonder if their dynasty is officially over.

The New Orleans Pelicans have a date with the new punching-bag Golden State Warriors, but they will have to compete with Stephen Curry and company sans one-time All-Star guard Jrue Holiday. Per Andrew Lopez of ESPN, Holiday was ruled out on Monday night against the Warriors. He is listed as day-to-day due to a left […]

When Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob said the Dubs were “light years ahead” of the competition, he got a lot of flak for it. Over the last five years, the Warriors have been to five straight Finals, winning three championships and losing two. However, now that Kevin Durant and Andre Iguodala are gone and […]

Bob Myers and the Golden State Warriors don’t see the decision Kevin Durant made to leave the franchise to sign with the Brooklyn Nets this summer as an indication that KD was upset at the organization.

The Golden State Warriors have gotten off to a rough start to their season, losing their first two games in blowouts to the Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Yet ESPN’s Stephen A.

Everyone knew the Golden State Warriors would take a step back this season, but I’m not sure anyone expected this. Through their first two games, the Warriors have been outscored 261-214, losing by 19 to the Los Angeles Clippers in their season opener (understandable) and getting routed by 28 against the Oklahoma City Thunder (not […]

The Golden State Warriors have seen the other side of the coin after a steady climb in the early 2010s and five years of chasing the NBA title. The Los Angeles Clippers were the start of that coin flip, handing them a sizable loss in their first game at the state-of-the-art Chase Center. Patrick Beverley […]

If there’s something evident from watching the first two games of the Golden State Warriors 2019-20 season, is that these aren’t the Warriors the NBA has seen the past five-plus years, but a completely different team altogether. Still led by their star player Stephen Curry, he’s the first to admit this system is no longer […]
