Steve Kerr certainly doesn’t believe the Golden State Warriors defended well enough to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors’ fifth straight loss certainly wasn’t hard to see coming. They played without an injured Stephen Curry and suspended Draymond Green on Thursday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, falling 128-109 in another dispiriting performance that calls this team’s lack of scoring punch and offensive dynamism into even greater […]

Earlier this week, the NBA announced that it was suspending Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green for five games for his role in an altercation that took place in Tuesday’s game, a home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. In its reasoning for the suspension length, the NBA noted Green’s history of finding himself in […]

The NBA lowered the boom on the Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Jaden McDaniels for their antics on Tuesday. The league office also didn’t spare Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert one day after their fracas at Chase Center. Draymond Green received a hefty five-game suspension for his chokehold on Rudy Gobert in […]

In an NBA In-Season Tournament game against the Minnesota Timberwolves where the Golden State Warriors were missing Stephen Curry due to a knee injury, the last thing they needed was to lose Klay Thompson too. But that’s exactly what happened to the Warriors. Just one minute and 40 seconds into the game, Thompson and Jaden […]

The Golden State Warriors knew Tuesday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves would be a test. The team ruled Stephen Curry out with a sprained knee ahead of that NBA In-Season Tournament matchup. But they didn’t know that the game would be chippy from the get-go, leaving Warriors coach Steve Kerr down two more players […]

There was no sense sugarcoating what was obvious to anyone watching the Golden State Warriors. Just one game into the regular season, Steve Kerr admitted that Andrew Wiggins was off to a “slow start.” That was two weeks ago, and the numbers suggest Wiggins hasn’t been any better amid widespread concerns about his effort, energy […]

The Golden State Warriors gave rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis one of the tallest tasks in the NBA when they had him guard 2x NBA MVP Nikola Jokic during part of the Warriors-Denver Nuggets game. Jokic got the best of Jackson-Davis for most of the time they were matched up on the court, but the second-rounder out […]

The Golden State Warriors are hoping to bridge the past with the future for the 2023-2024 season.

The Golden State Warriors have always been defined by the play of their star players. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green are the three who have spearheaded the success of this franchise and lifted them to four championships since 2015.

Locked in a tightly-contested affair against the reigning champion Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night, the Golden State Warriors know the value of every point they put up on the board.

Chris Paul put a perfectly placed bounce pass out in front of Klay Thompson, with no one between he and the basket as the Golden State Warriors trailed by three with time running out. For a moment, it appeared the second-best shooter ever would get the chance to send his shorthanded team to overtime against […]

Andrew Wiggins came to the Golden State Warriors in a midseason trade during the 2019-20 season, instantly filling a hole this organization had on the wing since Kevin Durant left. Without Wiggins, the Warriors probably wouldn’t have gone on to win the 2022 NBA Finals and who knows, maybe the core of Stephen Curry, Klay […]

It took eight games before the Golden State Warriors won their first road game of the 2022-23 NBA season. This year, the Warriors are already up to five wins outside of Chase Center and own a 6-2 record, good for third in the Western Conference. Golden State is obviously off to a way better start […]

Chris Paul hasn’t hit the ground running with the Golden State Warriors scoring-wise. Paul, despite shooting 6-9 from the field and scoring 17 points in the Dubs’ 120-109 win over the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, is still only shooting 36 percent from the floor and 13.8 percent from beyond the arc on the season. […]

The Golden State Warriors have been spoiled by the presence of superstar Stephen Curry for quite some time.

Golden State also agreed to […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has revealed that the 2024 Paris Olympics will be his last stint as mentor of Team USA basketball, according to Joe Vardon of The Athletic. “No,” Kerr said bluntly when asked if he would coach Team USA after the Paris Games. “To me, it’s a two-year; it’s a […]

Through seven games, the Golden State Warriors are 5-2. But the play of Andrew Wiggins has already raised some eyebrows in the Bay Area.

The Golden State Warriors saw their five-game undefeated streak come to an end on Sunday, as they fell prey to old rival Cleveland Cavaliers on the road, 115-104.

It’s safe to say the Oklahoma City Thunder are over moral victories, especially when it comes to the in-season tournament. But Friday’s instant-classic thriller against the Golden State Warriors is still another sign of the Thunder’s ongoing ascent up the NBA ranks, their eye-opening performance in a last-second 141-139 loss made even more impressive because […]

Friday night’s game ended with a game-winner by Steph Curry that was originally ruled […]

When Chris Paul was traded to the Golden State Warriors this past summer, everyone began questioning what this team’s starting rotation would look like.

The Golden State Warriors won their game against the Sacramento Kings on Friday night, not long after dropping their home opener to the Phoenix Suns.

Some would argue that being an NBA coach is one of the most difficult jobs in the league. The lofty expectations each season from owners and fans make coaches who’ve won more than 60 games in a season or even those who’ve won the highest individual award a coach can receive in a season still […]

The Golden State Warriors dropped their game on Opening Night to the visiting Phoenix Suns by a final score of 108-104.

Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors came up just short in their Opening Night contest against the Phoenix Suns.

Still, Thompson held Durant to just 18 […]

There have been plenty of names that are associated with the great Golden State Warriors dynasty and franchise. Don Nelson took over for a long time which led to thrilling runs against stacked odds.

During preseason, coaches tend to focus on assessing the players they have on the roster and evaluating which members of the current roster are deserving of minutes. But that doesn’t mean that teams can’t have fun during this time. In fact, during preseason’s more exhibition-style nature, it is the perfect time for NBA teams to […]

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has missed the entirety of the Dubs’ preseason run after suffering an ankle injury in a pickup game a week before training camp commenced. While the Warriors are merely erring on the side of caution due to how important of a player Green is for the team, there may […]

Some NBA teams use the final game of the preseason as a dress rehearsal for the 82-game grind.

The surest evidence […]

On Friday, former Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala announced his retirement from the NBA after 19 seasons.

The Golden State Warriors got knocked out of the playoffs last season by a Lakers team that few saw coming, until their midseason acquisition of forward Rui Hachimura of the Washington Wizards and the improved play of Austin Reaves, of course. The emergence of Reaves and Hachimura gave the Lakers a size advantage at multiple […]

The foundation of the Golden State Warriors remains to be one person and he goes by the name of Stephen Curry. It is one thing to have a team revolve its schematics on a player’s strengths. But, for a whole league with a talent unlike any other and the rest of the world to follow […]

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 […]
