It seems like just yesterday that Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets won their first championship, putting a bow on the 2022-23 NBA season. Here we are, somehow at the end of October and now at the start of the 2023-24 NBA season, a year that will feature a ton of unpredictability. Around this moment, […]

The idea of future Hall-of-Famer Chris Paul coming off the bench for the Golden State Warriors has been floated around all offseason long. Golden State is reportedly leaning towards Paul leading the second unit and playing a bench role, per NBA insider Shams Charania. “I think there is a level of momentum of [Chris Paul] […]

It seemed far-fetched entering the 2023 offseason that Chris Paul would become a member of the Golden State Warriors. But now, with the Warriors’ 2023-24 season opener against the Phoenix Suns being mere hours away from tipping off, the Point God has now teamed up with his former rivals via trade, giving the Warriors an […]

San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama’s mere existence must be seen to be believed. There aren’t too many human beings standing at 7’4 to begin with, so it makes it even more perplexing that a person with Wembanyama’s size is as skilled in basketball on both ends of the court as he is. And on […]

Former Warriors player Andre Iguodala was on ESPN’s First Take and made a bold claim about the possibility of the Golden State Warriors winning another championship.

The Phoenix Suns had a relatively busy offseason as the biggest piece they added was former Washington Wizards cornerstone Bradley Beal. Furthermore, Phoenix added a plethora of other role players who will play a sufficient number of minutes, such as Eric Gordon, Jusuf Nurkic, and Grayson Allen. The new changes have not only been with […]

The Golden State Warriors are laser-focused on returning to the peak of the sport in 2023-24 as they aim to win another NBA title following their disappointing second-round exit last season. But, there’s now a mid-season tournament, which is a chance for the Dubs to win some hardware and some money. And as revealed by […]

Golden State Warriors newcomer Chris Paul and Sacramento Kings star point guard De’Aaron Fox had a moment with each other Wednesday night during a preseason battle at Chase Center. In the fourth quarter of the contest, Paul managed to bait a ref into calling a foul on Fox, who immediately let the Point God know […]

Draymond Green and Kevon Looney aren’t playing Wednesday’s, and Steve Kerr has already made clear he’s just pushing different lineup and rotational buttons in search of his team’s best combinations. Considering Chris Paul started both of the preseason games he played in before the Golden State Warriors’ matchup with the Sacramento Kings at Chase Center, […]

The Golden State Warriors are 11 days away from their first regular season game with Chris Paul on the team. On October 24th, Chris Paul will make his official Golden State debut versus the Phoenix Suns, his former team.

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 […]

In the NBA, once players retire, they often stick around the game of basketball in one way or another. One common outlet to keep basketball in their lives involves becoming a coach, as they already have a firm understanding of the game, and can relate to the struggles players endure throughout the course of the […]

Chris Paul played his first game for the Golden State Warriors in a preseason showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. Sure enough, Steve Kerr loved what he saw from his new point guard. Speaking to reporters after the game, Kerr shared some high praises for CP3, who finished the contest with six points, […]

Chris Paul is really a member of the Golden State Warriors now. The Point God made it official on Saturday as he played in their preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers and made his first bucket in a Dubs jersey. Paul’s first basket as a Warrior couldn’t have been more picture-perfect as well. Early […]

Chris Paul seems to be getting acclimated to his new home with the Golden State Warriors. Paul was traded from the Phoenix Suns, to the Washington Wizards, and then finally to the Warriors this offseason to help provide some veteran leadership to a team that is… not at all lacking in veteran leadership. Still, at […]

It’s safe to say that Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry loves having Chris Paul on his side of the fence for once. The two-time NBA MVP gave his genuine take on what it’s like hooping alongside CP3 throughout the summer and his words should have Warriors Nation salivating. Via Anthony Slater of The Athletic: […]

Is this Chris Paul’s last chance to win an NBA title? The star point guard was traded to the Golden State Warriors after three seasons with the Phoenix Suns. The 12x All-Star and member of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary team has accomplished a ton during his 18-year career, but he has yet to win an […]

Steve Kerr, ever since becoming the Golden State Warriors’ head coach in 2014, has made it a point to run a motion-based offense that could maximize the gravity of star player Stephen Curry. But it’s not like Kerr is fixed in his ways. As one of the best coaches of his time, Kerr is not […]

Chris Paul will start the Golden State Warriors’ first exhibition game on Saturday, and likely remain in Steve Kerr’s first five come when the new-look Phoenix Suns come to town for the regular season opener on October 24th. Once Draymond Green returns from a sprained ankle and gets back up to regular playing speed, though, […]

All offseason long, there have been questions about what the Golden State Warriors will do with their starting lineup now that future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul is with the team and could potentially come off the bench. Since Draymond Green is currently injured with an ankle sprain, there seems to be a […]

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 […]

For years, Chris Paul faced off against the Golden State Warriors while competing for a championship in the playoffs. This has led to Paul have zero championship rings and the Warriors having four of them since 2015. After being bitter rivals, Paul can now call Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green his teammates. The […]

As much changed for the Golden State Warriors’ roster and front office over the offseason, the fabric of this team’s identity remains pretty much the same as when it was celebrating a fourth championship in eight years less than 16 months ago. Stephen Curry is still the Dubs’ singular offensive engine, Draymond Green still sets […]

Winson-Salem State alumnus and NBA legend Chris Paul have partnered with ESPN and Andscape to produce a new edition of the ESPN+ series “Why Not Us” per a statement by ESPN Press Room. “Why Not Us: Grambling Dance” will feature episodes centered around the Orchesis Dance Company, which was founded on the campus of Grambling […]

With the dust starting to settle in the aftermath of the Portland Trail Blazers and the Milwaukee Bucks’ blockbuster Damian Lillard trade, it’ll be interesting to see which team manages to pry away Jrue Holiday from the Blazers’ grasp. There have been many teams floated around as a possibility. For one, the Boston Celtics and […]

So, the Milwaukee Bucks just traded for Damian Lillard. Meanwhile, Jrue Holiday is now on the Portland Trail Blazers. But he won’t be a Blazer for long. Which team does he end up on next? Are the Golden State Warriors in the mix to trade for the five-time All-Defensive guard? There were plenty of moving […]

There is one thing clear about the direction the Golden State Warriors are headed in as they enter the 2023-24 training camp: they want to win now. No more two timelines experiment. No more screwing around with Stephen Curry’s prime. Trading Jordan Poole for Chris Paul was indicative that the Warriors intend to maximize whatever […]

The Golden State Warriors have an abundance of All-NBA talent for the NBA season. But, the main conundrum in front of Steve Kerr is where he places Chris Paul among the other playmakers in the team. Currently, there still has not been a decision about whether or not he gets placed as a starter with […]

The New Orleans Pelicans are one of the newer franchises in the NBA. New Orleans debuted as the Hornets in the 2002 season but became the Pelicans in 2012. In the Pelicans short history, they have had some great draft picks. However, they have also whiffed on some of their picks, and, with their short […]

Four championships in an eight-year span. Not many professional sports organizations can say they have accomplished this. The Golden State Warriors joined elite company and formed this generation’s NBA dynasty in 2022 when they once again won the Larry O’Brien championship trophy. A feat that nobody thought was possible after missing the playoffs in back-to-backs […]

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. Their relationship seems to have grown as CP3 transitioned to other NBA teams such as the Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Phoenix Suns. […]

Not too many blockbuster moves appear to be on the docket for the Golden State Warriors, limited as they are at the moment given the financial constraints imposed upon them by the new salary cap rules in the collective bargaining agreement. And all the talk thus far during the offseason makes it seem like the […]

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. But it doesn’t mean that they have any less motivation to mount a deep playoff run and win their fifth championship as a […]
