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. Thus, it became all the more heartbreaking for them when referees failed to credit Stephen Curry for a made basket after a blatant goaltending violation […]

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 […]

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. Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson were not going to be leaving the starting rotation, so would Kevon Looney or Andrew Wiggins ultimately get moved to the bench? Green dealing […]

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.

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 Golden State Warriors are taking a much different approach to Friday’s exhibition finale against the San Antonio Spurs, planning to empty their bench early with next week’s regular-season opener just around the corner. The surest evidence […]

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 […]

There’s little doubt left that Jonathan Kuminga has leveled up as the regular season fast approaches.

Kuminga followed an impressive preseason debut with an […]

The Golden State Warriors will go into the 2022-2023 season with high expectations and a lot of question marks along their wing and front-court positions. The Warriors’ 2023 NBA Draft netted them an unsung college basketball hero in Trayce Jackson-Davis, a versatile, stat sheet-stuffing forward with a smooth game who played for the Indiana Hoosiers […]

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. But they sacrificed the rim for the arc more than ever last season, the Dubs’ 26.9% share of attempts at the rim and 44.7% rate of three-point tries ranking at the […]

But that didn’t stop him from grasping hold of a regular spot in the lineup during Golden State’s playoff run, Steve Kerr […]
