After Hield made a long 3-pointer in the fourth quarter to bring the Kings within three points of Golden State with 19 seconds remaining, Joerger and […]

In today’s NBA game, we think nothing of space-and-pace. Centers shooting three-pointers has become a regular thing, and positions are becoming more and more nominal rather than critical. However, back when Don Nelson tried to employ these strategies during his days as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, he was widely criticized. Now, […]

Kevin Durant was utterly humble after swatting a career-high seven shots agains the Sacramento Kings during a 125-123 win on Thursday night.

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant wasn’t pleased with skating by the Sacramento Kings in a 125-123 win at Oracle Arena, one that came down to the winding seconds of regulation and a mental lapse from Buddy Hield, which eventually closed out the affair.

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.

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.

[…]

Everything’s going right for the Golden State Warriors lately. In a span of a month, they have lost only twice in 18 games, have regained the top spot in the Western Conference previously held by the Denver Nuggets, got DeMarcus Cousins back, and had three representatives in the All-Star Game. So they have plenty of […]

It’s incumbent on leaders of the National Basketball Players’ Association to represent the union in a positive light even when not acting in their official capacities as representatives.

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving says the media and fans are blowing the video of him talking to Golden State Warriors superstar Kevin Durant at All-Star weekend way out of proportion, and he’s not happy about it.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr confirmed to local reporters on Wednesday that starting center DeMarcus Cousins is onto the next phase of his recovery.

Midway through the second quarter of Sunday’s All-Star game, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry caught a lead pass from Joel Embiid in transition.

Coming into 2018-19, the Golden State Warriors knew that winning a fourth title in five seasons wouldn’t be easy.
