The Golden State Warriors suffered their fourth straight loss on Tuesday, falling to the surging Minnesota Timberwolves 104-101 at Chase Center.

One game doesn’t make a season, and the Golden State Warriors were in prime position to take down Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns on opening night even without Draymond Green. How many more times will the Dubs go 10-of-43 from beyond the arc, with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combining for 25% […]

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, […]

Despite vanquishing the Sacramento Kings in the NBA playoffs, the Golden State Warriors did not meet their lofty standards last season. Their struggles away from home were reported ad nauseam, chemistry was questioned and their defense was inconsistent. Maybe worst of all, though, the team just became too one-dimensional. The over reliance on Steph Curry […]

The Golden State Warriors made one of the biggest moves of the offseason acquiring future Hall of Famer Chris Paul in a trade with the Washington Wizards.

Kuminga followed an impressive preseason debut with an […]

The Golden State Warriors will always rely most on the long-ball as long as Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are wearing blue and gold.

The Golden State Warriors almost certainly won’t re-emerge as top-tier title contenders in 2023-24 without Jonathan Kuminga taking the figurative leap.

Kuminga wore heavy tape around his right thumb and wrist during 3-on-3 action following Tuesday’s […]

Stephen Curry is still the Dubs’ singular offensive engine, Draymond Green still sets […]

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?

The Golden State Warriors won’t know for sure what Chris Paul’s role will be this season until training camp tips off in a few weeks.
