A key moment that turned the tide for the Golden State Warriors’ season is still a forgotten memory for head coach Steve Kerr, who can’t remember an off-camera heated exchange between his starters Kevin Durant and Draymond Green at the end of an early-February loss to the Sacramento Kings.

The Golden State Warriors are known as one of the deeper teams in the league, with head coach Steve Kerr not shy about playing 10-12 guys at any given game.

Steve Kerr has been proud of the way his Golden State Warriors have played during the last four games of this young season, beating opponents handily and showing glimpses of the powerhouse it was during last year’s playoff run. Now that he’s shed the turnover problem away, averaging a whisker under 13 in the last […]

But according to Mark Medina of the Mercury News, the 10-year veteran realizes the […]

Last week, the GOP introduced a tax plan, and why in the world is that news appearing on this sports website is due to the inclusion of Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry’s name in the 429-page bill. For whatever reason, congressmen thought that out of all the famous personalities in this age of 15-minute […]

While a lot of players who grew up playing together, from the AAU to the NBA, remain good friends and share a strong bond, the same was not said about Draymond Green by Steve Kerr. Instead of acknowledging his good relationships with others he practically grew up with, the fourth year head coach understands that […]

Zaza Pachulia is the gift that just keeps on giving for the Golden State Warriors. We’re not referring to his limited offensive skill set but rather to his unintentionally loony ways on and off the court. And we were again treated to a dose of Pachulia Saturday night when the usually flat-footed center turned on […]

It almost looked like Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr wanted to get ejected.

Even head coach […]

The three-year veteran at the helm is often the recipient of questions on inactive players before each game and even […]

The San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors have started a rivalry over the past three seasons. Gregg Popovich and his former player, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, have done a masterful job at bringing a lot of success to their teams, by calling the right plays on the sidelines.

It’s no secret that the Golden State Warriors defense has been way below the level it’s been over the past few years.

We’re three years away from the next U.S. presidential election, but Steve Kerr won’t hesitate to vote for his colleague and former coach Gregg Popovich if he was to run for president. “I truly would vote for Pop.

The Golden State Warriors are fresh off another championship win, but won’t be making a trip to the White House as it’s become customary, after President Donald Trump rescinded a never-sent invitation after point guard Stephen Curry said in a press conference that he would choose not to attend due to the actions from the […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr hasn’t been shy about speaking in mind and when asked about former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and finding himself out of a job past the midway line of the NFL season, he was his usual blunt self. “Oh, he is being blackballed. That’s a no-brainer,” said […]

Despite a rough start to the 2017-18 season, the Golden State Warriors are preparing to extend their head coach Steve Kerr to a long-term contract, according to Tim Kawakami of The Athletic.

Steve Kerr had no problem diagnosing the reason the Golden State Warriors have experienced three early-season losses in their first seven games of the 2017-18 season. The culprit wasn’t any more evident than surrendering a whopping 25 turnovers in a 115-107 loss to the Detroit Pistons. “At some point the ball just has to matter. […]

Following Stephen Curry’s ejection on Saturday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, one of the questions that emerged was what sanction he will receive from the league office, once the review of the incident has been made.

The front row appearance of a Klay Thompson look-a-like at Oracle Arena was the icing on the cake for a gold-inspired ring night for the Golden State Warriors.

The Houston Rockets stunned the Golden State Warriors on opening night, as they won on the road against the defending champions in a squeaker, 122-121.
