At one point, Strauss uses a […]

Golden State Warriors players probably didn’t love it when Kevin Durant admitted he was glad they lost in the NBA Finals.

Despite the Golden State Warriors‘ “small-ball” style of basketball catching on throughout the league, San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich likes his roster just the way he’s built it.

Golden State Warriors rookie Patrick McCaw has made his case for solid minutes off the bench in a talent-stacked roster that is bound to go places come postseason.

A few more sticks were thrown into the fire after Paul Pierce criticized Kevin Durant‘s signing with the runners-up in an interview with Sirius XM radio. All-Star forward Draymond Green was quick to respond to Pierce’s comments with […]

Paul Pierce is old school. It doesn’t seem too long since the Boston Celtics great was drafted 10th overall in 1998, but his 18 years in the league have made him as rugged as some of the best veterans in the league’s history. In an interview with SiriusXM Radio, the L.A. Clippers forward was blunt […]

The Golden State Warriors‘ Draymond Green is considered one of the best passing forwards in the league today.

It was hard for even Kevin Durant to imagine playing for the Golden State Warriors while watching the NBA Finals this past season. Until they lost. Durant admitted that ultimately he was happy with the outcome of the Warriors’ 7-game loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Finals this past June. Otherwise, he may not […]

NBA 2k17 had the Golden State Warriors winning “only” 58 games this season. But that’s just based on a simulation of the entire year by Tony Xypteras of Uproxx.com.
