The Sacramento Kings continued to prove that they are indeed a force to be reckoned with this season, as they pushed the Golden State Warriors to the very limit in their matchup on Thursday night. While the Warriors did emerge with a tight 125-123 victory on the evening, Dubs star Draymond Green later admitted that the […]

The Golden State Warriors are the NBA’s current dynasty, winners of three of the last four NBA Championships. But it appears that since starting last season,  they view the regular season as a chore. To the Warriors, especially with their influx of talent, the regular season is the prelude to the real season: the NBA […]

The Golden State Warriors are widely considered to be the favorite to not only reach the NBA Finals yet again this season, but to bag another title altogether. However, Dubs head coach Steve Kerr seems intent on keeping his feet on the ground, opting to deflect a question pertaining to his team’s chances of going […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr reacted to a comment shooting guard Buddy Hield made about betting his house that his Sacramento Kings would find themselves in the playoffs by the end of the regular season: “Probably depends on how much his house costs, I have to check the value,” joked Kerr. “I love […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was in a great mood after missing out on the All-Star break festivities, giving former Warriors coach Don Nelson a tip of the cap before ending his postgame presser: “Nellie and I are going to go smoke a joint,” said Kerr as he made his way out, according […]

Yes, that’s basketball lifer Don Nelson in the video below, sitting next to former NBA players Jason Richardson and Stephen Jackson. If you haven’t caught a glimpse of the Hall of Fame coach since his retirement, it makes sense that you would be surprised by the way he currently comports himself. It wasn’t even a […]

There really is no point asking Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr who is the greatest shooter ever. Not only do the Warriors have some of the best shooters ever assembled (including Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant) so some bias is unavoidable, but it is spearheaded by arguably the greatest sniper of all time […]

Highlights (often of the posterization variety) are like death and taxes with Kevin Durant: It almost seems like a foregone conclusion whenever the Golden State Warriors are playing. Also inevitable: That you will get dunked on when you go for a block once the “Durantula” slashes to the cup and zeroes in towards you. Rookie […]

The present iteration of Golden State Warriors changed the league forever. By bombing away from three, pushing the pace, and switching across five positions without negative recourse, Steve Kerr’s team not only sparked an ongoing dynasty but introduced a style of play that’s taken basketball by storm. Over a decade earlier, Don Nelson was doing […]

Remember when Kevin Durant was garnering early consideration for 2018 Defensive Player of the Year? That discussion was always misplaced. The Golden State Warriors superstar is indeed an impactful defender, with the requisite combination of length, quickness, and strength to consistently hold up one-on-one against all but the most dynamic ball handlers and most hulking […]

Calling Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry a three-point shooter first and foremost does a disservice to the many layers of his game. Yes, the Warriors point guard is the greatest shooter of all time and poised to break Ray Allen’s record for made triples at some point over the next few years. But Curry […]

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes left a complicated legacy with the Golden State Warriors and in the eyes of Steve Kerr. The seventh-year pro was an integral piece of the team’s run to the 2015 Larry O’Brien trophy, seeming poised to remain as much as he continued developing alongside a core of Stephen Curry, Klay […]

There’s no love lost between followers of the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings. As division rivals vying for supremacy in not just the standings but northern California, both fan bases make a routine habit of playfully disrespecting the others’ team – and the Warriors’ ongoing dynasty has only furthered the resentment Kings nation has […]

[…]

Everything’s going right for the Golden State Warriors lately.

Golden State Warriors big man DeMarcus Cousins has always been known as an efficient scorer, especially on the low block. In recent games, however, his shooting percentages have been low.

DeMarcus Cousins’ road to full health hasn’t been an easy one, and while he’s still adapting to playing with the Golden State Warriors, the hardest part of it is already past him.

The Golden State Warriors are bracing for the departure of Kevin Durant in the summer, a move that could range from possible to inevitable, depending on one’s sense of pessimism.
