It is difficult to nitpick where one can improve when they are performing at the highest level. That is certainly the case for Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry. Per usual, the Warriors have gotten off to a slow start to the 2017-18 NBA season. With no shortage of offensive firepower, it is the defense […]

Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra earlier said that the defending world champion Golden State Warriors are “playing a different sport.” You know what? Maybe they really are.

America has been shaken again by another gun-related incident in Texas last Sunday that killed 26 citizens.

The Miami Heat are about to face their toughest challenge yet this season as they are scheduled to go toe to toe against the defending champions, Golden State Warriors.

Despite getting off to a brilliant start to the season, Klay Thompson has more lofty aspirations than a 50-40-90 campaign. The Golden State Warriors shooting guard has managed to finally reap some statistical favor to reward his status as one of the best two-way players in the league. He’s now hoping to show his prowess […]

Despite his lack of playing time through the first 10 games of the season, Nick Young continues to be a media darling, as one of the most interesting personalities on the Golden State Warriors roster.

More than a month since Hurricane Irma hit Florida and left thousands of residents homeless and even injured, recovery efforts are still ongoing in the whole state. It was truly an unfortunate event that many want to forget, as they lost not only their properties, but also some of their loved ones. However, it also […]

Last week, the GOP introduced a tax plan, and why in the world is that news appearing on this sports website is due to the inclusion of Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry’s name in the 429-page bill. For whatever reason, congressmen thought that out of all the famous personalities in this age of 15-minute […]

Since entering the NBA in 2015, Nikola Jokic has continued to improve his game, which has helped him emerge as a future star of the league.

There are plenty centers out there trying to be point guards but there’s arguably no one who can do it better and more efficient than Denver Nuggets unicorn Nikola Jokic.

While a lot of players who grew up playing together, from the AAU to the NBA, remain good friends and share a strong bond, the same was not said about Draymond Green by Steve Kerr. Instead of acknowledging his good relationships with others he practically grew up with, the fourth year head coach understands that […]

Zaza Pachulia is the gift that just keeps on giving for the Golden State Warriors. We’re not referring to his limited offensive skill set but rather to his unintentionally loony ways on and off the court. And we were again treated to a dose of Pachulia Saturday night when the usually flat-footed center turned on […]

The Golden State Warriors had an easy time disposing of the Denver Nuggets on the road Saturday, eking out a comfortable 127-108 win for their third-straight victory. As usual, it was the pair of Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry, who did most of the damage on their opponents. Durant paced the team with 25 points, […]

It almost looked like Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr wanted to get ejected.

Golden State Warriors Draymond Green wasn’t happy about Houston Texans owner Bob McNair’s comments this past week.

David Lee and Caroline Wozniacki’s ring ratio is now 1:1. That’s after the one-time NBA champion and the tennis superstar got engaged recently.

Unlike his rough patch during this year’s NBA Finals, Klay Thompson has gotten off to a scorching start this season, one that could be perhaps his best season yet, even after the surprise on a career-high 22.3 points per game despite the addition of star forward Kevin Durant during the 2016 offseason. Even head coach […]

Klay Thompson couldn’t contain his emotion after swatting a LaMarcus Aldridge dunk in the middle of the fourth quarter of the Golden State Warriors 112-92 comeback win over the San Antonio Spurs.

When the Golden State Warriors got former Oregon Ducks big man Jordan Bell via a trade with the Chicago Bulls on draft day, it was instantly seen as a steal for the defending NBA champions.

The San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors have started a rivalry over the past three seasons. Gregg Popovich and his former player, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, have done a masterful job at bringing a lot of success to their teams, by calling the right plays on the sidelines. As ironic as it is […]

Expect Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant to be on the highlights tonight, though it’s not for something he’d probably like.

Old habits die hard for old and young — and being in the same line of work won’t deter that at all. Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr took up his usual dinner with his former coach and now colleague Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs, and now even after many years have […]

Former NBA star and Turner Sports NBA analyst Chris Webber argued that Golden State Warriors Kevin Durant could make his case for Defensive Player of the Year, only months removed from his frontcourt mate Draymond Green winning the much-coveted award after finishing runner-up to San Antonio Spurs star Kawhi Leonard. “He could make his case […]

When the Golden State Warriors take on the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night, it will mark the first meeting between the teams since their matchup in the Western Conference Finals.

This has often led to the Warriors breezing through the regular season schedule, which has allowed for the coaching staff to lessen the minute workload of their core group […]

It’s no secret that the Golden State Warriors defense has been way below the level it’s been over the past few years. The Warriors are currently 25th in defensive efficiency, a precipitous drop from last year’s rank of second. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr isn’t overly concerned by that fact, but he does point out […]

We’re three years away from the next U.S. presidential election, but Steve Kerr won’t hesitate to vote for his colleague and former coach Gregg Popovich if he was to run for president. “I truly would vote for Pop.

The Golden State Warriors are fresh off another championship win, but won’t be making a trip to the White House as it’s become customary, after President Donald Trump rescinded a never-sent invitation after point guard Stephen Curry said in a press conference that he would choose not to attend due to the actions from the […]

Stephen Curry was looking into the ultimate security coming into this offseason, hoping to net the very coveted and almost defunct no-trade clause from the Golden State Warriors this summer, as well as a player-option for the last year of his supermax five-year, $201 million extension. Both of those were denied by the team, according […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr hasn’t been shy about speaking in mind and when asked about former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and finding himself out of a job past the midway line of the NFL season, he was his usual blunt self. “Oh, he is being blackballed. That’s a no-brainer,” said […]

When asked which teams have the greatest chance of dethroning the Warriors, the typical responses are the Spurs, Rockets, and the Cavaliers. While these teams all made some great offseason moves in response to the 16-1 postseason steamroll by the Warriors, one team that’s made no substantial moves looks to be among the greatest threats […]

Draymond Green has struggled shooting the ball to start the season, a large part due to his three three-point attempts per game, which he’s knocked down at a lousy 24 percent clip. The Golden State Warriors forward is far off from the pace he saw in a special 2015-16 season, where he knocked down 38.8 […]

Not everyone was pleased with the Golden State Warriors’ 28-point win against the L.A. Clippers on Monday night, bouncing right back from a loss to the Detroit Pistons at the end of a three-game home stand by cutting their turnovers in half and pushing the lead past any type of hope after the third quarter.
