There were a number of moments that had both Dallas and Golden State up in arms during the crucial Mavs-Warriors clash on Wednesday night. None stood out more than the 5-on-0 power play the Warriors were able to convert on late in the third quarter. Coming off a Mavs timeout, the Warriors were given the […]

It’s all coming together for Jonathan Kuminga. The 20-year-old continued his steady, season-long ascent on Wednesday in the Golden State Warriors’ crucial 127-125 win over the Dallas Mavericks, finishing with a team-high 22 points, three rebounds and two steals off the bench. Kuminga shot 9-of-11 from the field and drained two of his three tries […]

The Golden State Warriors will be without Andrew Wiggins and Gary Payton II on Wednesday for their biggest game of the season to date. As the stretch run toward the playoffs continues, though, it seems the defending champions are likely to get at least one of them back very soon—and could have both available when […]

There weren’t too many things to be happy about in the Golden State Warriors’ 133-119 loss against the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night. Apart from the fact that this was the Dubs’ 10th straight road loss, this was also Memphis’ second consecutive victory over the defending champs. In spite of another devastating loss for […]

There’s no doubt that Dillon Brooks had a major hand in Steph Curry’s struggles on Saturday night. The Memphis Grizzlies loud-mouth hounded Curry across the floor in the Golden State Warriors’ 133-119 loss to their Western Conference rivals, sometimes refusing to willingly cede him air space even on dead balls. The result? Curry needed 15 […]

Winning an NBA championship as a player is already an elusive feat. However, winning one as the head coach of a team is a different animal altogether. But despite the herculean task, some NBA personalities have succeeded both as a player and a coach. For this piece, let’s take a look at 12 basketball players […]

The Golden State Warriors lost their 10th consecutive road game on Friday night, falling to the Atlanta Hawks 127-119. The defending champions are now 7-28 away from home in 2022-23, by far the worst road record in basketball among teams vying for the playoffs. It’s not like the Warriors will have the luxury of playing […]

The Golden State Warriors haven’t exactly lived up to expectations in 2022-23. The defending champions enter Friday’s matchup with the Atlanta Hawks at 36-34, good for sixth in the Western Conference but just two-and-half games above the 11th-place Utah Jazz in the standings. With three weeks left in the regular season, it’s safe to say […]

There’s still no timeline for Andrew Wiggins’ potential return to the Golden State Warriors. After FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd reported on Thursday it was “likely” he’d remain out for the season’s remainder due to personal reasons, though, Steve Kerr set the record straight on a local radio appearance. During his weekly interview on 95.7 The […]

Steve Kerr is simply in awe of Stephen Curry’s performance on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, so much so that the Golden State Warriors head coach couldn’t help but compare his superstar to a baseball pitcher throwing a no-hitter. Kerr was almost at a loss for words describing Curry’s night, and understandably so. While […]

Andre Iguodala’s recent injury update comes at a terrible time for the Golden State Warriors. The defending champs are still looking to secure their spot in the playoffs out in the West, and while they are currently sitting on the No. 6 seed in the conference, anything can still happen in the final few weeks […]

Klay Thompson dropped a game-high 38 points on Monday night, leading the Golden State Warriors to a 123-112 victory over the Phoenix Suns. The victory marks the defending champions’ first over their division rivals in 2022-23, coming in wake of three ugly previous defeats to Phoenix—during one of which Thompson was issued his first ever […]

Prior to the Phoenix Suns’ visit to play the Golden State Warriors Tuesday night, Steve Kerr told reporters he thinks Dubs fans will give Kevin Durant “the applause and energy that he deserves for everything he did,” as reported by ESPN’s Kendra Andrews. Durant once again missed a chance to play in front of the […]

The Golden State Warriors are one of the worst teams on the road this season, and it doesn’t look like they can resolve it with just a few games left this 2022-23 campaign. However, head coach Steve Kerr apparently knows where their biggest issue lies. Speaking on NBA TV ahead of their home game against […]

By now, the Golden State Warriors offense is pretty familiar, the rhythms and patterns solidified by nearly a decade of continuity and chemistry between their core players. In their thrilling 125-116 overtime win against the Milwaukee Bucks though, Warriors coach Steve Kerr made a surprising tweak, using the Bucks’ expectations and tendencies against them. In […]

While Draymond Green was able to return to the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, Steve Kerr couldn’t help but worry about his forward’s injury. For those who missed it, Green sustained an ankle injury after he accidentally stepped on Jrue Holiday’s foot while running in transition early in the third […]

There’s no denying the Golden State Warriors won’t win another title this season unless they finally figure out how to win on the road. In wake of his team’s seventh consecutive victory at Chase Center, though, Steve Kerr still couldn’t help but admit he saw title-worthy play from Steph Curry and the Warriors in crunch-time […]

The Golden State Warriors downsized for the second straight game on Thursday night. Unlike against the Oklahoma City Thunder 48 hours earlier, though, the defending champions went super small in another matchup with the rival Memphis Grizzlies, starting Jordan Poole and Donte DiVincenzo next to Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green with both Andrew […]

The Golden State Warriors lost their seventh straight road game when they were defeated by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. Head coach Steve Kerr has watched the Warriors’ continued road struggles and saw a key flaw in Golden State’s strategy against the Thunder. Kerr said that the Warriors were disconnected in the first half […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has no doubt in his mind that his squad can compete for the title, especially when they are healthy and complete. Kerr made the bold claim on Tuesday ahead of the Warriors’ showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder at Paycom Center. The Dubs are coming off a loss […]

The Golden State Warriors have dealt with injury issues and and inconsistency all season and as a result they’ve relied heavily on two-way contract players Anthony Lamb and Ty Jerome all season. As two-way contract players, they are allowed a maximum of 50 NBA game appearances. Once they hit that limit they either have to […]

All signs point to Golden State Warriors superstar guard Stephen Curry making his highly-anticipated return from injury against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday afternoon, but coach Steve Kerr isn’t ready to give him the green light just yet. “Steve Kerr reiterates ‘there’s a chance’ that Steph Curry returns on Sunday against the Lakers. Sounds […]

The Golden State Warriors seemed headed for a disappointing loss in arguably their biggest game of the season to date. Once the ball was inbounded for the second half, though, a struggling Jordan Poole immediately put his comeback plans in place. Behind Poole’s 22-point third-quarter explosion, the Warriors rallied from a double-digit halftime deficit on […]

The truth is that title contenders really should beat the Houston Rockets, depletewd Minnesota Timberwolves and short-handed Portland Trail Blazers in consecutive games. Considering the Golden State Warriors’ struggles throughout 2022-23, though, a three-game winning streak at the beginning of the season’s critical stretch run is indeed cause for optimism. After the Jordan Poole, Klay […]

The Golden State Warriors have until the final day of the regular season to fill their 15th and final roster spot for the playoffs. But a related deadline comes by the end of Wednesday, March 1st, at which point players must have been waived by their former team to maintain postseason eligibility with a new […]

The Golden State Warriors entered the All-Star break losing their last two outings. Now, two games since they returned to action, they are undefeated. Sure enough, it’s thanks in large part to Klay Thompson. Thompson have a combined 74 points in the two games against the Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves. After exploding with 12 […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was effusive in his praise of Klay Thompson after Friday night’s record-setting performance. Klay Thompson scored 42 points in the Warriors’ 116-101 win over the Houston Rockets. Thompson made 12 3-pointers for the second time this season, becoming the first player in NBA history to accomplish the feat. […]

It’s no secret the Golden State Warriors are high on Patrick Baldwin Jr. Team officials were raving about the 6-foot-9 sharpshooter shortly after Golden State plucked him with a late first-round pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, and nothing Baldwin’s done during an expectedly nondescript rookie season has tempered optimistic expectations about his long-term trajectory. […]

It’s been an uneven start to Moses Moody’s NBA career. The second-year forward saw some regular playing time as a rookie last season but he hasn’t been able to crack the rotation this season. The No. 14 overall pick in the 2021 draft, Moody has only averaged 14.2 minutes per game this season and has […]

There’s still no timetable for Andrew Wiggins’ return to the Golden State Warriors from an extended personal absence. Before his short-handed team’s matchup with the Houston Rockets on Friday night, Steve Kerr told reporters that Wiggins will simply be back with Golden State once he’s ready. “When he’s ready to come back, he’ll come back,” […]

Chicago Bulls point guard Alex Caruso could join Team USA for the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup in the fall. Many interpreted a clip between Caruso and Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr as the former being recruited to Golden State. However, The Athletic’s Joe Vardon reveals that Kerr was actually attempting to persuade […]

The Golden State Warriors fell to the Los Angeles Lakers 124-111 on Thursday night. Lopsided as that score is, the game wasn’t even quite that close, either. Steve Kerr pulled most of his available regulars for good early in the fourth quarter, letting Moses Moody and Patrick Baldwin Jr. get run in extended garbage time. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers host the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night at the Crypto.com Arena as both teams look to kick off their post-All-Star break campaign with a win. For the Dubs, it will be an opportunity for them to face off against former player D’Angelo Russell, who made the big move back to […]

The Golden State Warriors made a trade gone awry when they acquired Gary Payton II from the Portland Trail Blazers before the NBA trade deadline. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr spoke candidly on the medical fiasco that complicated what was meant to be a midseason boost for the defending champions. Kerr was asked on 95.7 […]

There’s an obvious common denominator behind the Warriors’ last two games. The first contest saw Golden State win by nine while the second saw them fall by ten. Despite varying results, both games featured virtually non-existent defense from the Warriors. They gave up 130 points on average with the difference simply being that they scored […]

The Golden State Warriors surely miss Stephen Curry as he remains sidelined with injury. But the team didn’t miss him as badly on Monday night thanks to Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and another standout game from Donte DiVincenzo. DiVincenzo did his best Steph Curry impression against the Washington Wizards. He drained five three-pointers on the […]

When Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors drafted James Wiseman second overall in 2020, there were huge expectations that he’d be the face of the franchise after Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Three seasons later, however, he’s gone from the Dubs. The Warriors traded Wiseman to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Saddiq Bey. […]

There’s still a chance the Golden State Warriors end up battling for playoff or play-in positioning with the Los Angeles Lakers in the last week of the regular season. Should that peak drama comes to pass, the defending champions will rue missing out on a golden opportunity to get a win against their new-look Southern […]

The Golden State Warriors got plenty of stellar individual performances in a 141-114 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night, their first game since Stephen Curry went back to the shelf with a left leg injury. Jordan Poole dropped 21 points and a career-high 12 assists in a performance both coaches and teammates […]
