The Golden State Warriors have not begun the season on the right foot, and their latest effort would do nothing to quell the concerns fans and pundits have regarding the performances the defending champions have put out thus far. The Warriors ended up losing their fourth straight game, dropping a close matchup the previously 1-7 […]

All good things come to an end. The Chicago Bulls dynasty of the 1990s dissolved as Michael Jordan decided to call it quits for the second (but not the last) time in his career, The Beatles went their separate ways in 1970, and, for younger fans, One Direction had their infamous breakup in early 2016. […]

The Golden State Warriors lost their third straight game on Tuesday night, crumbling in crunch-time against the Miami Heat. The defending champions are winless on their five-game road trip, with its biggest test—a back-to-back against the Orlando Magic and surging New Orleans Pelicans—still to come before returning to the friendly confines of Chase Center. Now […]

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul wasn’t dubbed the Point God for nothing. Over the past two games, Paul has posted an insane assist to turnover ratio of 27-to-1. However, he still felt hard done by the call that gave him his first turnover in 95 minutes worth of game time. With over a minute […]

The Miami Heat outlasted the Golden State Warriors 116-109 on Tuesday in South Beach, sending the defending champions to a third straight loss. Golden State remains winless away from home over two weeks into regular season as a result, careless turnovers and occasionally poor shot selection wasting an effort that surely would’ve been good enough […]

The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Golden State Warriors in a nail bitter to secure their first home win, 120-113. It may have taken overtime to get the job done against a team led by the greatest shooter ever in Steph Curry, but it was an impressive win by this young group. The Hornets are now […]

Stephen Curry certainly wasn’t the reason the Golden State Warriors lost to the Charlotte Hornets 120-113 on Saturday. After his team’s arduous second-half comeback was wasted in a frustrating overtime defeat, though, the reigning Finals MVP couldn’t help but shoulder some blame—rightfully so, too. Curry harped on his pair of three-point misses in the waning […]

Klay Thompson has faced a barrage of adversity ever since he tore his ACL in the third quarter of the Golden State Warriors’ fateful Game 6 tussle against the Toronto Raptors. After missing the entire 2019-20 season, he then proceeded to tear his Achilles prior to the subsequent campaign, delaying his return to the court […]

The Golden State Warriors started off the season with an 11-man rotation. In their latest win against the Miami Heat, only 10 players took the court – leaving out second-year man Jonathan Kuminga. Kuminga was already being used sparingly for the team’s first four games. He played just over 10 minutes per contest in those […]

The Golden State Warriors weren’t forcing Tyler Herro into the action over and over during the most critical moments of Thursday’s game against the Miami Heat by accident. Stephen Curry proved as much with just over five-and-a-half minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. After inbounding the ball, flying off a pin-down from Kevon Looney and […]

The Golden State Warriors logged another win on Thursday, taking down the Miami Heat, 123-110, behind the heroics of the Dubs’ superstar duo in Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Thompson has been struggling a bit of late, and he was recently ejected for the first time in his career after a verbal tussle with Phoenix […]

Stephen Curry is no stranger to playing as a defending champion. He is well aware of the target on the Warriors’ back. Steph discussed the mindset of opponents when facing Golden State following the recent Dubs’ loss to the Phoenix Suns, per NBA Interviews on YouTube. “Teams will try to come at you,” Curry said. […]

Klay Thompson got ejected for the first time in his career on Tuesday night following a heated on-court altercation involving Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker. To make matters worse, the Golden State Warriors ended up on the wrong end of a blowout loss, 134-105. After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr noted that Thompson’s […]

Golden State Warriors franchise icon Stephen Curry is not only the deadliest shooter from beyond the arc the league has ever seen, he is also one of the most reliable hands on the free-throw line. For his career, Curry has shot around 91 percent from the foul line, and he entered the Warriors’ nationally televised […]

The Dallas Mavericks entered Tuesday night’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans looking for their second straight win after destroying the Memphis Grizzlies Saturday. In what turned out to be an extremely entertaining contest, the Mavs ultimately fell 113-111. But one thing is for certain, it wasn’t on Luka Doncic. Doncic scored a game-high 37 […]

Moses Moody knows what it will take for the Golden State Warriors’ young second unit to establish an on-court identity. Good thing he, James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga and company can work from an example set by the Warriors’ dynastic core. “Game reps and just more film study, more practice reps. We’re just working on it, […]

NBA Twitter couldn’t help but compare Anfernee Simons to Stephen Curry after the Portland Trail Blazers youngster went nuts in the third quarter of their game against the Denver Nuggets. Simons basically transformed into Curry–or Damian Lillard if you don’t want any mention of the Golden State Warriors star–after he exploded for 22 points in […]

The 2022-23 NBA season is suddenly almost a week old, with the Golden State Warriors beginning their title defense by proving they’re a legitimate threat to repeat and prompting major questions about their workable depth against playoff competition. Here are three hot takes from the Warriors’ 2-1 start to the regular season. 3. Jonathan Kuminga and […]

Steve Kerr spoke a lot in the preseason about the benefits of his team’s multiple roster timelines. Three games into the regular season, though, the “foundational six” has been the group driving the Golden State Warriors’ success, while the defending champions’ reserves and young players account for most of their team’s struggles. The sample size […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry often goes viral for his incredible highlight plays and pre-game routines. On Saturday, however, he was the talk of the sports world because of Clemson football head coach Dabo Swinney. The Clemson Tigers beat the Syracuse Orange in the contest, but it wasn’t easy as Swinney had to pull […]

After going down 21-10 with five minutes left to go in the third quarter, Dabo Swinney took a chance that, at least at the time, felt like it could re-shape the face of Clemson Football forever. After watching his quarterback, DJ Uiagalelei, throw two interceptions and lose a fumble in his 30th appearance for the […]

The most ballyhooed lineup in the NBA barely got on the floor last season as the Larry O’Brien Trophy hung in the balance, notching just 10 total minutes in the NBA Finals. Should the Golden State Warriors play deep into the playoffs once again, though, don’t be surprised if their five-man pool party gets a […]

Stephen Curry wasn’t always a stalwart defender. Size prevents him from being a true difference-maker on that end, and there are still times he’s targeted in pick-and-roll again and again—occasionally with great success—by opposing star ball handlers. But the Golden State Warriors’ franchise player certainly isn’t the liability on defense now that he was earlier […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry couldn’t get more hyped up after seeing his brother-in-law and former teammate Damion Lee save the Phoenix Suns against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. The Suns fell behind by as much as 22 points in the game and looked like they were on their way to another embarrassing […]

For the past several years, Stephen Curry has been the face of the Golden State Warriors. The 34-year-old has spent all 14 of his years in the NBA with the Warriors and his current contract that he signed in the 2021 off-season will carry him through the 2025-26 season. He will be 38 by the […]

The Golden State Warriors were barely done celebrating their latest championship before staking a forceful claim for another one. Maybe their blowout 123-109 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in the season opener on Tuesday isn’t a sign of what’s to come throughout 2022-23. Ring night can make the actual basketball being played seem more […]

The Golden State Warriors picked up win numero uno on opening night against the Los Angeles Lakers. But before that, the team got their rings from their 2021-22 championship run. It’s a moment very familiar to four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry, but one that represents a drastic career shift for teammate Andrew Wiggins. After their […]

Moses Moody seemed primed to be the Golden State Warriors’ top reserve behind Jordan Poole this season, his blend of size, shooting ability and two-way feel on the wing marking a seamless fit alongside the reigning champs’ “foundational six.” It’s still not too late for that to transpire, of course. On opening night of the […]

It was business as usual for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, as they opened their season with a casual walloping of the Los Angeles Lakers at home Tuesday night. The Warriors scored a 123-109 victory over LeBron James and company, and they did that in style from start to finish. Speaking of which, […]

The Golden State Warriors begin their NBA title defense Tuesday night at home again the Los Angeles Lakers. Before the game, the Warriors had their ring ceremony with Stephen Curry also giving a shoutout to Brittney Griner, who remains imprisoned in Russia.

On Tuesday, ClutchPoints premiered Episode 2 of its animated web series The Association, featuring Draymond Green ‘punching’ Jordan Poole. The show features NBA players as employees in an office, toiling away in their different branches. The NBA is a business, and ClutchPoints is taking that literally in the series, which is a parody of the […]

Stephen Curry is still at the top of his game as his 14th NBA go-around dawns. Not only did he lead the Golden State Warriors to a remarkable fourth championship in eight years last season, but did so while taking home NBA Finals MVP for the first time in his career. At 34, there’s an […]

Stephen Curry understands the repeater tax realities the Golden State Warriors are primed to face in 2023-24. If the defending champions repeat this season, though, the reigning Finals MVP is nevertheless adamant that his team’s longtime core should stick together. In a sprawling interview with Shayna Rubin of The Mercury News, Curry addressed the possibility […]

Klay Thompson has big plans this 2022-23 season, and it should excite not only Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors but also the whole fan base. In a Q&A with NBA.com, Thompson was asked about his expectations for the season. The Warriors sharpshooter didn’t hold back in expressing his personal goal, which is to […]

Ring night always makes it easy for the last vestiges of championship afterglow to outshine importance of the actual task at hand. There’s a chance that tendency comes to fruition for the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night, when they welcome the Los Angeles Lakers to Chase Center for the 2022-23 season opener. But the […]

Real basketball is finally here, and not a moment too soon for the Golden State Warriors. An otherwise banner offseason for the reigning champions was marred by Draymond Green’s vicious punch to Jordan Poole, calling confidence of the Warriors’ title defense into major question less than two weeks before it officially tipped off. Golden State, […]

So much for getting punched by Draymond Green complicating Jordan Poole’s long-term future with the Golden State Warriors.  According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Poole is on verge of signing a four-year, $140 million extension that will keep him in the Bay through 2026-27. Jordan Poole is finalizing a 4-year, $140 million contract extension with the […]

The NBA preseason is the perfect time to work out the kinks. That apparently goes for celebrations as well. Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry did exactly that after flexing his made three in their final preseason game against the Denver Nuggets. Check out Steph Curry with a rare stumble after a made three: Steph […]

It looks like Luka Doncic, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic are facing serious competition when it comes to the NBA MVP battle. Apparently, one unexpected contender is making waves in the betting scene. According to FanDuel, New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson is the “most-bet” player to win the award–even ahead […]
