The Golden State Warriors outlasted the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night, using a big game from the bench to beat their California rivals 120-114 at the Chase Center in San Francisco. “The story of the game was really the bench,” Dubs coach Steve Kerr explained afterwards, per ClutchPoints’ Jack Winter. “Brandin [Podziemski], Dario [Saric], […]

Klay Thompson seemed en route to another deflating early-season performance against the Los Angeles Clippers, curbing the steady momentum he’d quietly built over the last 10 days. The Golden State Warriors’ veteran star entered Thursday’s action with at least 20 points in three of the last four games, finding the range on his jumper en […]

Up by as many as 24 points on Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings, the Golden State Warriors appeared to be on their way to a 3-0 record against the Kings on the season, as well as advancing to the quarterfinals of the NBA In-Season Tournament. However, a second-half collapse by the Warriors and some […]

Gary Payton II’s early exit in the Golden State Warriors’ NBA In-Season Tournament loss to the Sacramento Kings was crucial. Steve Kerr could not find answers to lock down De’Aaron Fox or Malik Monk in the perimeter. It was once thought that the elite defender had just suffered a contusion to his leg. But, things […]

The Golden State Warriors had a golden chance to be the final team to enter the knockout stage of the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament, as they led the Sacramento Kings by a considerable margin for much of a game that they needed to win by 12 points or more. However, it seemed like head coach […]

The Golden State Warriors entered their NBA In-Season Tournament matchup against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night with a puncher’s chance of making it to the knockout stage. All they needed to do was to win by 12 points or more, then they’ll have a better point differential than the Kings, the leader of their […]

The Golden State Warriors aren’t putting out a championship-level product so far during the 2023-24 season, but the Dubs franchise has noticed more than a few silver linings. Recently, Warriors star Draymond Green shared his true feelings on the choke against Rudy Gobert that led to his suspension. Green spoke in defiance of the suspension […]

The Golden State Warriors haven’t exactly been firing on all cylinders to start the new campaign, posting an 8-9 record through their first 17 games. Not helping matters was the fact that Draymond Green picked up a five-game suspension for choking out Rudy Gobert in a contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Green’s suspension is up, […]

Gary Payton II is a defender first and foremost. Standing just 6’2 with hands that hang down to his knees and rare overall athleticism, the Golden State Warriors veteran has the length, strength and quickness to check at least four positions at a borderline elite level, and might do even better work away from the […]

The Golden State Warriors fell to 7-9 with a 123-115 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, and Steve Kerr talked about the importance of Chris Paul’s ejection in the game, then went on an interesting rant about the Footprint Center playing loud music throughout the game. “It was a big deal. We need him, […]

Battles in the NBA often do not last for a long time. The Chicago Bulls dynasty came to an end and what once looked like the eternal struggle between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors had its conclusion. Amid all of these, Chris Paul and Scott Foster is the only pseudo-rivalry that has not […]

The Golden State Warriors began unraveling well before Chris Paul was ejected late in the second quarter of their ugly loss to the Phoenix Suns. Down Draymond Green and Gary Payton II with Stephen Curry having a rare off night, odds are the Dubs wouldn’t have stormed back for a come-from-behind victory on Wednesday night […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr showed his sense of humor during their game against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Kerr hilariously trolled ESPN NBA analyst Richard Jefferson during a sideline interview in the first half. Kerr dodged comments on Jefferson saying the Warriors head coach was upset at his team’s rim protection. Instead, […]

The Golden State Warriors lost to the Phoenix Suns 123-115 on Wednesday in a game not nearly as competitive as the final score suggests. If not for a spirited last-ditch effort from their bench midway through the third quarter and in extended garbage time late, Golden State would’ve been on the wrong end of another […]

The Golden State Warriors are finally back in the win column, snapping a six-game losing skid by defeating the Houston Rockets 121-116 on Monday night — and Stephen Curry was instrumental in the victory. The superstar played the entire fourth quarter, scoring a game-high 32 points while adding five rebounds and an assist over 34 […]

The Golden State Warriors are in desperation mode such that they get over .500 before the holidays. They stepped in the right direction against the Houston Rockets but still have notable absences. Not only are they missing Draymond Green but Gary Payton II has still not returned to the squad. They have an important date […]

The Golden State Warriors were just 1.6 seconds away from ending a five-game losing streak on Saturday before OKC Thunder big man Chet Holmgren forced OT with a game-tying triple over Andrew Wiggins. The Dubs ultimately went on to lose in overtime and after the contest, head coach Steve Kerr was asked why he chose […]

Steve Kerr certainly doesn’t believe the Golden State Warriors defended well enough to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night. After calling out his shorthanded team’s lack of “fight” and “grit” on that side of the ball following its fifth straight loss, though, the Dubs’ head coach shed additional light on his pointed post-game […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr recently addressed Draymond Green’s suspension. Kerr admitted that the suspension was “deserved” after Green placed Rudy Gobert in a chokehold during a Warriors-Minnesota Timberwolves on-court brawl. Stephen A. Smith responded to Kerr’s comments on the Draymond Green incident during an ESPN First Take segment. “When your coach speaks […]

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 […]

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green got into an altercation with Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell that led to Green’s second issued technical foul of the game and ejection mid-way through the third quarter of the Warriors’ game against the Cavs on Saturday night. After the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr took issue with the how one of […]

The Golden State Warriors took on the Cleveland Cavaliers at home on Saturday night, with Steve Kerr once again opting for a familiar starting lineup. The Warriors entered the matchup with a 6-3 record on the season, the focus squarely on their starting lineup amid Andrew Wiggins’ recent struggles. Kerr shared his optimism for a […]

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. Stephen Curry is still lighting up scoreboards, achieving three-point GOAT status all over again with an insane achievement recently. Never one to shy away from a good interview with the media or a chance to laud his teammates, […]

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. Just looking at this season so far, it is clear to see the impact […]

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. The former Davidson Wildcat is the NBA’s all-time leading 3-point shooter, and he’s still setting records at age 35. The Warriors were awarded a future All-Star Game recently, which has fans talking. 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. Head coach Steve Kerr, however, is not one of those concerned with Wiggins’ performances so far. “I’m not worried about Wiggs at all. It’s a slow start, and he’s got a […]

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. Stephen Curry and company don’t have much time, though, to sulk over that loss, as their road trip continues Monday night with a date with the Detroit […]
