Draymond Green is instrumental to the success of the Golden State Warriors, and they need him on the floor if they are to reach their championship potential. Just a couple of weeks ago before the start of training camp, Green suffered a sprained ankle and has missed all of the Warriors’ preseason games. Initially said […]

Draymond Green is considered to be one of the most polarizing talents in the NBA today. While not a lot will agree to his antics, there’s no question that Green’s all-around play fits seamlessly with the Golden State Warriors’ offense. In fact, with Green, the Warriors put up a dynasty that saw them make six […]

The Golden State Warriors had an impressive opening of the 2023 NBA preseason as they drubbed the Los Angeles Lakers, 125-108. Even without the incredible presence of Draymond Green, the Warriors were led by Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody in this dominant victory. Moreover, the game marked the first time Chris Paul and Stephen Curry […]

Chris Paul has gone up against the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference playoffs various times through the years. He’s not only played against them in the first round of the playoffs, but he’s seen Golden State in the Western Conference Semifinals and Finals as a member of the Houston Rockets. This rivalry between […]

The Las Vegas Aces are only one win away from securing their second consecutive WNBA championship after an all-encompassing rout of the New York Liberty on Wednesday night. The Aces got 20+ points each from A’ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young, which goes to show just how much top-level scoring talent there is in […]

Klutch Sports has become quite a meme among fans nowadays; if any player signs with that agency, helmed by rockstar agent Rich Paul, they’re automatically linked to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers as a result. However, Klutch is more than just a machinery for James and other superstar clients, such as Golden State […]

The Golden State Warriors are known for their impeccable ball movement as much as their shooting. A product of Mark Jackson laying the ground work and Steve Kerr completing the master plan for the Warriors’ offense, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and company whip the rock around the perimeter with as much precision as any team […]

The Golden State Warriors won’t have to make a major decision on their starting lineup just yet. That was the major question the Warriors had to answer heading into the 2023-24 season. While the injury to Draymond Green is not a good thing for the Warriors, it’s at least bought them some time before they […]

Fresh off of a 44-38 season but a disappointing second-round exit in the playoffs to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Golden State Warriors enter this new season with lofty expectations regarding their projected win total.  With the exit of legendary General Manager Bob Myers, many people did not know what to expect from Golden State […]

With Chris Paul joining Draymond Green as well as Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, the Warriors not only have one of the most decorated teams in the NBA, they also have one of the most fiercely competitive. Paul and Green, in particular, are no strangers to conflict, having been at the center of many of […]

After adding Chris Paul to their veteran roster during the off-season, it’s not unreasonable to expect some growing pains for the Warriors early in the 2023-24 season, but a lack of competitiveness certainly won’t be the reason why. With Paul joining Draymond Green, two of the fiercest competitors in the NBA will be playing alongside […]

Odds are that a left ankle sprain will keep Draymond Green from beginning the regular season with the Golden State Warriors. Whenever he’s healthy enough to debut in 2023-24, though, either sending Chris Paul to the bench or moving another entrenched starter out of the early-season opening five, Green won’t be too concerned about lineup […]

The Golden State Warriors’ quest to win back-to-back titles fell short last season, as the Dubs lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Semifinals. With Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green once again running things in the Bay Area, as well as Chris Paul joining the title hunt, the Warriors will […]

The world may finally have an answer to one of the more fascinating questions in recent sports memory. What did Jordan Poole say to Draymond Green before the Golden State Warriors’ defensive anchor punched him squarely in the face last October? Stunningly, it allegedly centered around franchise cornerstone Stephen Curry. “You’re an expensive backpack for […]

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie isn’t tolerating any more Ben Simmons slander.

The lone team that stands to be more affected by the NBA’s updated rest rules than the Golden State Warriors? Not the perpetually injured LA Clippers, creaky Los Angeles Lakers or reigning champion Denver Nuggets. The veteran Milwaukee Bucks and star-studded Boston Celtics don’t apply, either, nor do the rising young Cleveland Cavaliers. Only the […]

Change was inevitable for the Golden State Warriors this offseason. Their run to the NBA Finals in 2022 and winning their fourth championship since 2015 seems like an eternity ago as we prepare for the 2023-24 season, especially with how this past year unfolded. Losing in the Western Conference Finals to the Los Angeles Lakers, […]

The relationship between Draymond Green and Chris Paul was not always so sweet. Both of them seemed to be at odds with one another during the Golden State Warriors dynasty’s rise.

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green had to take a five day leave of absence at the beginning of last season when he got into an altercation with former teammate Jordan Poole.

The Golden State Warriors may be approaching their last legs as a contending team with this iteration of the squad led by the successful Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green trio.

From 1975 to the early 2010s, misery kept piling on and on for the Golden State Warriors franchise.

But after the Draymond Green incident, it appeared that one or another had to go, with their relationship never being fully mended. Joe Lacob recently spoke on the Poole […]

The Golden State Warriors have been known for paying an extreme amount of luxury taxes in the league over the last several seasons. It is not cheap to field a roster highlighted by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, but winning championships makes footing this bill a lot easier for owner Joe Lacob. Not […]

The burgeoning rivalry between the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies didn’t exactly live up to the hype last season. Apart from the Steph Curry-less Warriors’ boastful beatdown of the Grizzlies at Chase Center on Christmas, Golden State’s rollercoaster regular season and Ja Morant’s off-court drama largely kept the teams’ focus off of one another. […]

US track star Noah Lyles won three gold medals at the 2023 World Championships over the weekend, but that’s not the reason NBA stars like Draymond Green, Damian Lillard and Bam Adebayo were talking about him. Instead it’s Lyles’ comments about NBA champions calling themselves as “world champions” that had several NBA players buzzing. Of […]

NBA Draft falls are nothing new to the players and long-time spectators of the association.

And, a lot of players that turned out […]
