The Golden State Warriors’ long-awaited Christmas matchup with the rival Memphis Grizzlies has lost some luster without Stephen Curry.

Klay Thompson isn’t exactly playing the best basketball of his career of late.

Thompson himself has confirmed this notion. Speaking to Howard […]

The Golden State Warriors were outclassed by the surging New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, falling 132-94 despite a spirited first half effort.

The Golden State Warriors didn’t have the best time during their visit to Milwaukee as they fell to the Bucks in a lopsided 128-111 blowout.

Before Steve Kerr spoke with reporters prior to tipoff, the prevailing assumption was that Thompson wouldn’t play two games in […]

It’s safe to say Klay Thompson has broken out of his rough early-season slump. Just because he’s found his footing while continuing to re-acclimate from lingering effects of separate major injuries, though, doesn’t mean the Golden State Warriors are ready for Thompson to play in back-to-backs. The Warriors announced that Thompson will sit out Saturday’s […]

A quarter of the way through their quest for back-to-back titles, the Golden State Warriors are stuck in the same place they were when the regular season tipped off with ring night.

Klay Thompson had a chance to tie Tuesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks and send it to overtime.

While Charles Barkley thinks Klay Thompson is still a good player, the NBA icon also believes the Golden State Warriors guard is no longer the same player he once was.

Klay Thompson has a warning for the NBA. With the Golden State Warriors turning a corner after much adversity, the rest of the league better be ready for better basketball from the Dubs.

It’s no secret what’s driven the Golden State Warriors’ recent turnaround.

How’d they do it? By avoiding the self-inflicted mistakes that marred the first […]

Ja Morant may be one of the NBA’s most prominent trash-talkers today. The Memphis Grizzlies star point guard is a menace on the court, due to his trash talking antics. It backfires on him sometimes, but at the end of the day, Morant just wants to talk smack against his fellow competitors. That doesn’t mean, […]

The Golden State Warriors haven’t exactly gotten off to the best start this season as they hope to defend their title. A big part of their struggles have been the shooting woes of Jordan Poole. He hasn’t been playing as well as he did last season, but he does have a supporter behind him in […]

It’s safe to say Klay Thompson’s early-season shooting slump is over.

The floodgates truly […]

The floodgates ultimately didn’t open the way Klay Thompson promises they will.

Benching Klay Thompson won’t fix what ails the Golden State Warriors. Steve Kerr hasn’t repeatedly brushed off the notion of replacing him as a starter with Jordan Poole out of loyalty to a four-time champion who’s still working his way back from two-and-a-half seasons lost to injury. The Warriors’ optimal blend of shooting, defense and […]

Klay Thompson, through 11 games of the 2022-23 season, has posted career-lows in both field-goal and three-point percentage en route to being one of the most inefficient volume shooters in the NBA thus far. And the Golden State Warriors have struggled to the tune of a 6-9 record as a result. Before the Warriors’ 130-119 […]
