The Golden State Warriors got the stuffing beat out of them against the Nets in Brooklyn on Wednesday night.

The woefully short-handed Golden State Warriors were routed by the surging New York Knicks on Tuesday, falling 132-94 at Madison Square Garden despite a spirited first half. Here are three key reactions from the defending champions’ loss on the first leg of a difficult back-to-back in the Tri-State Area. Losing numbers games The Warriors dressed […]

The Golden State Warriors have been badly bitten by the injury bug, and now, they are spreading it as well. On Tuesday against the New York Knicks, the Warriors saw another injury, but not on their players bur instead on a referee. The Dubs had a part in it, though, as Jordan Poole accidentally tripped […]

The Golden State Warriors, obviously, aren’t going anywhere without Stephen Curry. But given how Jordan Poole played on Sunday, the possibility of the defending champions successfully weathering the storm of their franchise player’s absence suddenly seems a lot more realistic. Jordan Poole and the short-handed Warriors earned one of their most complete wins of the […]

The Golden State Warriors did not get off to a good start on their current road trip as they lost the first three games. But the Warriors, and specifically Jordan Poole, responded on Sunday as they snapped their losing streak and Poole dropped in a career-high 43 points. Jordan Poole poured in a career-high 43 […]

The Golden State Warriors more than survived Stephen Curry’s absence on Sunday, blowing out the Toronto Raptors 126-110 for just their third road win this season. Here are three observations from one of Golden State’s most complete victories of 2022-23. Jordan Poole, fully realized The Raptors knew exactly how important Poole was to the Warriors’ […]

The Golden State Warriors were blown out by the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, falling 128-111 at Fiserv Forum in a game still not as close as that lopsided final score suggests. Here are three reactions to Golden State’s ugly loss to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks on the first leg of a road back-to-back. Unacceptable […]

Sports betting is obviously a big thing in the United States. Unfortunately, some fans take it way too seriously. Then again, you probably would too if you lost a lot of money on a bet. Just ask this random bettor who decided to send a DM to Golden State Warriors star Jordan Poole after losing […]

Here are three key reactions to the short-handed Warriors’ horrible yet overall encouraging defeat. Horrible loss, encouraging performance The Warriors […]

In what is easily the biggest choke job of the season, Jordan Poole and Golden State Warriors lost to the Utah Jazz, 124-123, despite leading by four points with just 13 seconds left. A late-game turnover doomed the Warriors, allowing Jazz forward Simone Fontecchio to easily bank the game-winning dunk. It came after Malik Beasley […]

The Indiana Pacers were always poised to give the surging Golden State Warriors a better fight than most fans anticipated on Monday night. Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin and company, after all, have hardly proven the rebuilding pushover they were expected to be before the regular season tipped off, standing 12-11 behind a dynamic, uptempo offense. […]

The Golden State Warriors staved off a late-game run from the Houston Rockets on Saturday, pulling away for a 120-101 win at Chase Center. Here are three key reactions to the defending champions’ second victory in as many days, a win that puts them two games above .500 for the first time this season. Jordan […]

Jordan Poole is feeling fancy this Saturday night in a home game against the visiting Houston Rockets. The Golden State Warriors guard brought plenty of sauce with him to Chase Center and he’s been spreading the good stuff in his game, as he is seemingly having more fun than usual toying with the defense. Here’s […]

It’s safe to say Klay Thompson has broken out of his rough early-season slump. Just because he’s found his footing while continuing to re-acclimate from lingering effects of separate major injuries, though, doesn’t mean the Golden State Warriors are ready for Thompson to play in back-to-backs. The Warriors announced that Thompson will sit out Saturday’s […]

The Golden State Warriors, despite coming off a championship in June, faced immense offseason drama that threatened to fracture the team beyond repair. Long-time starting power forward Draymond Green threw a punch towards teammate Jordan Poole, facing a team punishment in the process. These are the sorts of moments that could prove to be a […]

A quarter of the way through their quest for back-to-back titles, the Golden State Warriors are stuck in the same place they were when the regular season tipped off with ring night. The defending champions are 11-11 heading into December, outside the top-eight of the Western Conference, an abjectly disappointing standing that nevertheless obscures recent […]

The Golden State Warriors beat the West-leading Utah Jazz 129-118 on Friday, moving to .500 for the first time since late October. Here are three key reactions from the defending champions’ eighth straight home win. 3 key reactions to Warriors’ double-digit win over Jazz Run, Warriors, run Maybe no team in basketball is more intentional […]

The Golden State Warriors haven’t exactly gotten off to the best start this season as they hope to defend their title. A big part of their struggles have been the shooting woes of Jordan Poole. He hasn’t been playing as well as he did last season, but he does have a supporter behind him in […]

The Golden State Warriors certainly aren’t off to the start they wanted in 2022-23. Just over a month into the regular season, though, a team meeting led by Draymond Green has sparked some much-needed optimism in San Francisco—not to mention revealed that his longtime status as the Dubs’ emotional leader remains intact. Bob Myers addressed […]

Benching Klay Thompson won’t fix what ails the Golden State Warriors. Steve Kerr hasn’t repeatedly brushed off the notion of replacing him as a starter with Jordan Poole out of loyalty to a four-time champion who’s still working his way back from two-and-a-half seasons lost to injury. The Warriors’ optimal blend of shooting, defense and […]

To say that Klay Thompson has been struggling to start the season for the Golden State Warriors would be an understatement. So much so, that his slow start has prompted a fiery message from the five-time All-Star himself, as Thompson called out his naysayers for doubting his ability to come out of his recent slump. […]

The Golden State Warriors have pressed pause on the James Wiseman experiment this season. Just before the 15-game mark of their season, the Warriors brass has decided to send their young big man to the G League. Once upon a time, Jordan Poole was dealt the same fate. After an inconsistent sophomore season, the team […]

The Golden State Warriors finally earned a comfortable victory. Playing on the second night of a back-to-back without a resting Klay Thompson, the defending champions routed the San Antonio Spurs 132-95 at Chase Center on Monday behind a barrage of splashed triples and forced turnovers. Jordan Poole led the charge from the opening tip, dropping […]

Make no mistake. Jordan Poole definitely isn’t the driving force behind the Golden State Warriors’ ongoing bench struggles. But as Steve Kerr keeps searching for rotational answers behind his team’s “foundational six,” Draymond Green honed in on a nuanced dynamic he believes has contributed to poor early-season play from Golden State’s reserves. Here’s how the […]

Odds are against Jordan Poole establishing himself as the greatest shooter ever. He probably won’t win back-to-back MVPs whether or not one of them is unanimous. As much as the most optimistic fans cross their fingers otherwise, Poole is unlikely to win three more titles with the Golden State Warriors, too. Just because he’s bound […]

The Golden State Warriors continued to build on their dynasty last season when they won the 2022 NBA Finals. So far to start the 2022-23 season, though, the Warriors haven’t looked anything like the team that just won a championship only a few months ago. They currently sport a 5-7 record, and without Stephen Curry’s […]

The Golden State Warriors are off to a rough start to the 2022-23 season. At 4-7, they are struggling on both sides of the ball, especially on defense. One suggestion floating around is to invigorate the offense a little more by getting Jordan Poole in the starting lineup and moving Klay Thompson to the bench […]

The Golden State Warriors have been a perfectly average offensive team through the first 10 games of the regular season. The defending champions’ 112.2 offensive rating ranks 15th in the league, per NBA.com/stats, a standing that’s actually somewhat surprising given the simultaneous struggles of two of their top scoring options. Klay Thompson is shooting 41.5% […]

Jordan Poole has gotten off to a bit of a slow start this season and the Golden State Warriors have struggled alongside him. But there might be a valid reason for his struggles. According to CJ Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr believes the issue might be the added defensive […]

Jordan Poole was a surprise second-half starter for the Golden State Warriors on Monday night. Replacing Kevon Looney to unleash the defending champions’ vaunted small-ball lineup indeed gave them the jolt Steve Kerr knew his team so badly needed. Golden State trailed the Sacramento Kings 67-55 at intermission, but made up nine points on the […]

The Golden State Warriors are on a tailspin, having just lost their third game in a row in a 116-109 defeat at the hands of Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat Tuesday night in South Beach. But if there’s anything noteworthy for the Warriors about that game, it would be the fact that Jordan Poole […]

The Golden State Warriors suffered their third straight loss on Tuesday after falling to the Miami Heat, 116-109. Jordan Poole had a miserable game in this one, which also involved three controversial travelling calls on the 6-foot-4 guard. Early in the fourth quarter, Poole got whistled for his third palming violation, and it was clear […]

At least the Golden State Warriors’ biggest early-season problems weren’t the driving force behind their latest loss away from the friendly confines of Chase Center, right? The defending champs fell to the Miami Heat 116-109 at FTX Arena on Tuesday, crumbling in crunch-time of a competitive, back-and-forth affair between two struggling teams that desperately needed […]

The Golden State Warriors fell to the Detroit Pistons 128-114 on Sunday, weary legs, widespread early shooting struggles and their penchant for lackadaisical defense contributing to a second loss in as many days. Needless to say, going 0-2 against the lottery-bound Pistons and Charlotte Hornets isn’t exactly how the Warriors hoped to begin their first […]

The Golden State Warriors wasted the chance to begin their first multi-game road trip of the season with a comeback victory. As tipoff of their tilt with the Detroit Pistons awaits, the defending champions have more to worry about than weary legs on the second half of a back-to-back, too. A resting Klay Thompson won’t […]

A lot has been said about Draymond Green’s controversial and brutal punch to Golden State Warriors teammate Jordan Poole during a preseason practice. However unlike many fans on social media who were overreacting when a video of the incident got leaked, Chicago Bulls swingman DeMar DeRozan has a different view. DeRozan emphasized the fights do […]

Draymond Green believes it’s up to him to fix the Golden State Warriors’ porous early-season defense. Even one of the most impactful, additive defenders in league history, though, couldn’t possibly plug all the leaks that have sprung during the defending champions’ 2-2 start to the regular season. Besides, Green’s sweeping influence can only extend so […]

At least the Golden State Warriors’ up-and-down start to the regular season has taken attention away from the lingering fallout of Draymond Green’s punch to Jordan Poole. As Andrew Wiggins sees it, though, his teammates already appear to be mending their fractured relationship. And even if they haven’t, it’s clear to him that Green and […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are on a day off Tuesday, so Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has plenty of time to watch some of the games on the schedule. And we know he is tuned in on the marquee battle between two title contenders in the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns, who […]
