Klay Thompson isn’t playing against the Houston Rockets on Saturday, listed as out due to injury management just as he’s been on either side of every back-to-back the Golden State Warriors have played this season. 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.

Sure enough, as the Mavs faithful celebrated, some couldn’t help but poke fun at the Warriors guard for his […]

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. For Sir Chuck, Klay’s recent beef with Devin Booker only further proves that. Barkley shared his brutally honest assessment on Thompson in a recent talk […]

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.

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.

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 Golden State Warriors star has hit a scorching 56.7% of his triples in his last three appearances, also making at least half of his field goal attempts overall—something Thompson hadn’t done until the Warriors’ win over the Knicks last Friday. The floodgates truly […]

There is no doubt that Stephen Curry has firmly established himself as one of the most renowned players in the history of the NBA.

Benching Klay Thompson won’t fix what ails the Golden State Warriors.

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.

Klay Thompson’s ramp up toward his typical level of playing time is over. He’s averaged just over 32 minutes in the Golden State Warriors’ last seven games, just a couple less than the 32-year-old got in 2018-19 before injuries took away two-and-half seasons of his prime. Thompson knows he’ll never be the player he was […]

At this point in the season, Jonathan Kuminga just hasn’t had the breakthrough campaign many believed he was in line for. The Golden State Warriors stud has struggled with consistency, and the fact that there’s just not enough playing time available for him clearly has a significant impact on his lackluster season thus far.

The Golden State Warriors earned a much-needed feel-good win on Monday, routing the San Antonio Spurs 132-95 at Chase Center. Maybe a blowout home victory over a short-handed, rebuilding team absent three guards from its normal rotation won’t give the defending champions the jolt of momentum required to overcome their early-season struggles.

But, that hasn’t stopped the critics from […]
