A loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night in front of their home faithful was not how the Golden State Warriors wanted to start their week.

The Golden State Warriors appear to have hit a brick wall over their past two games. After losing steam on Saturday night in a 104-94 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, the Dubs were once again beset by late-game woes as they let a Brooklyn Nets team that was on the second night of a […]

It seems like the Golden State Warriors are once again a legitimate threat in the Western Conference. The Warriors failed to make the playoffs last year. Furthermore, they also suffered a huge loss in the offseason when Klay Thompson decided to take his talents to Dallas. But while losing one-half of the Splash Brothers was […]

The Golden State Warriors have been rolling this season and have the best record in the Western Conference. One of the reasons for the improved play this season is limiting the turnovers, an area where they’ve struggled in the Stephen Curry era. Draymond Green has been conscious of limiting his turnovers, and he mentioned that […]

Brandin Podziemski has become incredibly important to the Golden State Warriors since being drafted. But his 3-point percentage of 19.1 so far this season is one of several glaring issues with the Warriors’ shooting. The team ruled Podziemski out ahead of Golden State’s game highly-anticipated game against Boston because of a mystery illness. Podziemski told […]

The Golden State Warriors appear to have discovered their early-season kryptonite, as the Los Angeles Clippers appear to have their number this season. On Monday night, the Warriors’ late rally fell short in a 102-99 defeat on the road, with the Dubs missing two golden opportunities to tie the game in the end after an […]

Winning an NBA championship is arguably the most difficult feat to achieve in the league.

Here is a look at […]

With Thursday marking the one-month mark since the 2024-25 NBA season began, one thing that has become apparent in the Western Conference is that the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors are two teams not to be trifled with.

While Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr called it a “disgusting” performance against the Memphis Grizzlies Friday, it still ended in a 123-118 win that brings them to 2-0 in NBA Cup group play. As Warriors star Draymond Green got ejected in the game, it was a great outing for Moses Moody, who had […]

The Golden State Warriors are on a great run to start the NBA season, but that doesn’t mean head coach Steve Kerr isn’t going to get after his players, even two-time league MVP Stephen Curry and former Defensive Player of the Year Draymond Green. Although generally known to be a relatively laid back and affable […]

The Golden State Warriors continued to keep the good times rolling on Friday night, picking up a 123-118 win that was much more comfortable than the final score suggests.

In what will be an undoubtedly jarring sight for fans, Klay Thompson will be heading into Chase Center for the first time as a member of the Golden State Warriors’ opposition, as he decided to join the Dallas Mavericks this past offseason following an incredibly fruitful 13-year stint in the Bay Area. Thompson has given […]

With the Golden State Warriors set to host the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 12, Klay Thompson will return to San Francisco for the first time as a visitor.

Some of the most impactful basketball of Jonathan Kuminga’s career has come since he was moved to the bench. Buddy Hield is an early Sixth Man of the Year contender. The second unit needs Brandin Podziemski’s table-setting, and Moses Moody has proven he’s always ready irrespective of his planned nightly role in the rotation. Extremes […]

Donovan Mitchell and the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers are home to face a familiar Western Conference rival: Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. One game ago, the Cavs defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 131-122, setting a mark in Cleveland franchise history.

Impressing Boston sports fans is tough. They’ve seen plenty of winning and expect the most from their team, which can create a lot of pressure.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum had a chance to make a statement on Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. And while he played well enough to notch a game-high 32 points, the Dubs still prevailed with a 118-112 victory in Beantown. An early November contest is rarely the time for statements, yet there was […]

The third game of a long early-season road trip isn’t exactly the stakes of the NBA Finals. Early November isn’t June. It bears stressing that the defending-champion Boston Celtics were missing two All-Stars on Wednesday—not just Jaylen Brown but also Kristaps Porzingis. Stephen Curry didn’t even quite “go off” by his historically lofty standards. Anyone […]

The Golden State Warriors have had a stellar start to the 2024 season. The Warriors entered Wednesday’s game against the Boston Celtics with an impressive 6-1 record. However, Boston was determined to hand the Dubs another tally in the loss column. Fans in TD Garden set the tone early when Steve Kerr was announced before […]

The (6-1) Golden State Warriors and the (7-1) Boston Celtics will face each other on Wednesday in a rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals where Golden State got the upper hand. While the Warriors have come out the gate strong, the defending champion Celtics will be their toughest out yet, and coach Steve Kerr also […]

Few figures in professional sports have been as proudly and aggressively outspoken against Donald Trump as Steve Kerr.

The Golden State Warriors have been rolling ahead of Wednesday night’s matchup with the Boston Celtics. The last time Golden State visited Boston, they found themselves down by 40 at halftime, but there is hope that this team will be able to stay a bit more competitive with the team they defeated in the 2022 […]

Jonathan Kuminga for Sixth Man of the Year? He’s certainly proven worthy of winning that individual hardware since moving to the bench over the last four games. Now seemingly entrenched in a role he’s never wanted but has paid major dividends for both player and team in the season’s early going, expect the Golden State […]

When Jayson Tatum rode the bench during the Summer Olympics, many questioned why the All-NBA forward wasn’t in the game. People took shots at head coach Steve Kerr for not playing him throughout the entire journey. However, one NBA insider, Brian Windhorst, might have discovered why Tatum was benched on the Hoop Collective Podcast. “Jayson […]

The Golden State Warriors entered Saturday’s action leading the NBA by averaging a whopping 61 bench points per game. Though they fell one point shy of that mind-blowing number while beating the Washington Wizards 125-112, don’t be surprised if the Dubs’ reserves are even more productive going forward given Jonathan Kuminga’s new role. Despite Stephen […]

The Golden State Warriors still aren’t quite back at full strength.

Golden State […]

Reasons for hope range from Stephen Curry’s continued […]

Still lost amid widespread handwringing on Jonathan Kuminga’s shift to the bench is the specific context that prompted it. The Golden State Warriors’ new-look starters weren’t setting the league ablaze before Steph Curry twice tweaked his left ankle during his 5-1 team’s lone loss of the regular season’s early going, but that big, athletic, defense-first […]

The Golden State Warriors never should’ve needed Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga to play hero. They boat raced the Houston Rockets in the first half on Saturday night, using red-hot shooting, suffocating defense and far superior chemistry and cohesion to take a seemingly insurmountable 28-point lead into intermission. The dogged two-way efforts of Tari Eason […]

It’s been nearly 25 years since Eminem and Dr. Dre collaborated on the Grammy Award winning single Forgot About Dre. This track served as a defiant and momentous return for the 34-year-old Dre. On Wednesday night, Golden State Warriors 34-year-old forward Draymond Green stepped on the floor against Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans and […]

Without Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins, and De’Anthony Melton on Tuesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans, it seemed like the Golden State Warriors were lining themselves up for a loss.

With Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins both out with injuries, Golden State Warriors head coach had to change his starting lineup vs. the New Orleans Pelicans.
