Draymond Green and Klay Thompson have had a rough season with the Golden State Warriors so far, especially after facing multiple controversies, shooting slumps and a recent 52-point thrashing from the Boston Celtics.

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has never really been known as a shooter throughout his basketball career. In college, he shot just 29.4% from deep and although he’s gotten close, he’s never shot better than 40% from 3-point land in the NBA. However, by no means should a team leave him wide open from beyond […]

Many believe NBA officials give some players the benefit of the doubt when making a foul call, but that is probably not a perk afforded to the outspoken and controversial Draymond Green. The Golden State Warriors forward was on the unfortunate end of a missed call late in the team’s 119-103 loss to Nikola Jokic […]

Because he lacks remarkable athleticism and frequently looks red in the face, it is easy to misidentify Nikola Jokic as being out of shape. The on-court results say otherwise, though, which is something Draymond Green can attest to after the Denver Nuggets (39-19) defeated the Golden State Warriors (29-27) Sunday night. The lauded defender was […]

It took a while for Brandin Podziemski, the 19th overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, to cement his place in the Golden State Warriors rotation.
