The Golden State Warriors need a win in their final game of 2023-24 to potentially improve their chances of advancing the past play-in tournament. Given the postseason ‘gauntlet’ the Dubs will face regardless, they’ve chosen to prioritize to rest ahead of getting a victory in the regular season finale. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green will […]

Draymond Green is no stranger to finishing games with unorthodox stat lines. In fact, to paraphrase the soon-to-be thirty-year-old Academy Award winning film Forrest Gump, a Draymond Green box score is like a box of chocolates… you never know what you’re gonna get. The Golden State Warriors forward is one of just 15 players in […]

Perhaps Draymond Green deserves a pass having fallen victim to one of humanity’s greatest flaws. The future Hall of Famer made some bold claims based on past results instead of current performance.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green will go down in history as an enforcer, a modern-day Dennis Rodman type. His jump shooting, however, has never scared anybody. But on Tuesday night, the four-time champion finally caught lightning in a bottle, converting 5-of-7 three-point attempts in a historic win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Green was […]

Tuesday’s highly anticipated clash between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers could still very well be a play-in tournament preview. Given the palpable two-way absence of Anthony Davis, though, most strategic takeaways from the Dubs’ victory won’t prove a harbinger of what’s likely to come in a do-or-die postseason battle.  Still, that reality […]

Will Klay Thompson re-sign with the Golden State Warriors? It is a question that has been asked throughout the season. Sure, Thompson has endured his share of ups and downs during the 2023-24 campaign, but he has still been one of the best players on the Warriors during the team’s four-championship dynasty. Thompson addressed the […]

For the first time since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was still in UCLA, the NCAA Tournament saw a back-to-back champion. Dan Hurley limited shooters and distributed the ball evenly for his stars.

Pressure is mounting on the Golden State Warriors.
