Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green won’t buy into the concept of zoning into the Houston Rockets’ ‘Big Three’ of James Harden, Chris Paul, and Clint Capela, but rather look to defend every piece of their offensive puzzle coming into tonight’s series. The Warriors’ defensive engine was asked about his scouting of the Big Three, […]

LeBron James’ moment of the day didn’t come on the court on Sunday, but rather off it, reciting a play-by-play of what went wrong throughout a 25-point Game 1 loss to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Coming into the eve of Game 1 at the opposite coast, Golden State Warriors head coach […]

By and large, the Golden State Warriors are coasting in these playoffs. They have only lost two games so far in the postseason and remain as the top favorite to win in the NBA Finals this June. In 2015, however, the Warriors found their backs against the wall as early as the second round when […]

Draymond Green isn’t reciprocating feelings when it comes to the Houston Rockets.

Bill Laimbeer, Dennis Rodman, and Bruce Bowen. These are just some of the names of players that fans of opposing teams simply love to hate.

Through his first six seasons in the NBA, Draymond Green has established himself as one of the core pieces of the puzzle for the Golden State Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors have the luxury of having Draymond Green on their team. A versatile piece on a roster full of scorers, Green acts as the team’s conduit on both offense and defense, able to plug the gaps and serve any needs that arise on any given moment in a game. At times, though, […]

The Golden State Warriors don’t have a three-headed monster. They have a four-headed one.

[…]

Kevin Durant didn’t buy what seemed to be a staged apology to Draymond Green by TNT analyst Charles Barkley, who first apologized, then excused his behavior (followed by his co-panelists doing the same) — saying his words were taken out of context and just read to him during the press conference without any indication of […]
