Don’t count Steve Kerr among the many, many Golden State Warriors partisans incensed by their team’s massive free throw discrepancy in Tuesday’s Game 1 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Anything is possible amid day-to-day variability of the postseason microscope.

Jordan Poole did not have his best performances for the Golden State Warriors in their first-round series against the Sacramento Kings.

Unfortunately for the young […]

The Golden State Warriors lost a highly entertaining Game 1 against the Los Angeles Lakers by a score of 117-112. A big reason for the Warriors loss was the Lakers 29 to 6 advantage in free-throw attempts, a deficit that head coach Steve Kerr is weary of going forward, reports The Athletic’s Anthony Slater. “Not […]

The Golden State Warriors had no answer to Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis in Tuesday night’s Game 1 of their second-round series opener at Chase Center. Davis was easily the best performance in the game, wasting no time to show the Warriors why this could be a long series for the defending champions. […]

Jonathan Kuminga played a grand total of 36 minutes in the Golden State Warriors’ first-round series win over the Sacramento Kings.

The Golden State Warriors are still on a high from Sunday’s epic Game 7 win over the Sacramento Kings in their NBA Playoffs first-round series.

There’s no doubt that Stephen Curry stole the show for the Golden State Warriors on Sunday in their series-clinching Game 7 win over De’Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings. However, it was Kevon Looney who did the dirty work for the Dubs yet again in another eye-popping performance from the Warriors center. So much so, […]

The top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks flamed out of the 2023 NBA Playoffs in shocking fashion, losing to the Miami Heat in the first round in just five games.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is keeping in mind the relatively short amount of rest between the next game of their first-round series against the Sacramento Kings, as it’s a factor in how he would distribute the minutes of his players, especially the most important of them all,  superstar guard Stephen Curry. Ahead […]

The Golden State Warriors had a maddening tendency to play down to their level of competition throughout the regular season, losing to bottom-dwelling foes like the Detroit Pistons, Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic. It was toughest for the Dubs to avoid that penchant outside the friendly confines of Chase Center, where they went a dismal […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr couldn’t help but troll Sacramento Kings tactician Mike Brown about the Dubs’ playbook during their Game 4 showdown at Chase Center on Sunday.

There’s no denying that Draymond Green has put the Golden State Warriors in an unenviable situation due to his actions in their Game 2 loss against the Sacramento Kings.

Draymond Green got himself in a lot of trouble for his antics in Game 2. Not only did he get himself thrown out in the fourth quarter of Monday’s loss to the Sacramento Kings after stepping on Domantas Sabonis while the latter was on the ground, but the league has not decided to slap Green […]

The Golden State Warriors suffered a close but tough defeat against the Sacramento Kings in Game 1 — but it’s nothing they can’t come back from.

Donte […]

The Golden State Warriors still need to beat the Portland Trail Blazers in the season finale to clinch a playoff berth.

[…]

Andrew Wiggins won’t make his long-awaited on-court return for the Golden State Warriors until the postseason tips off.
