The Golden State Warriors had to overcome a surprise absence from Klay Thompson en route to a 136-125 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, but it wasn’t an easy endeavor. After all, head coach Steve Kerr didn’t seem to possess the right answers to this conundrum at first when he decided to roll with a […]

Andrew Wiggins has rejoined the Golden State Warriors, but don’t expect Steve Kerr and the coaching staff to play the star forward soon following his long absence. Including the Warriors’ Tuesday showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Wiggins has now missed 23 straight games. He last played in February before taking some time away from […]

The Golden State Warriors suffered another deflating loss on Sunday night as their hopes to secure a guaranteed spot in the playoffs took another blow. To make matters worse, Stephen Curry and Co. lost to a Denver Nuggets side that did not have the services of Nikola Jokic available. Unsurprisingly, Dubs head coach Steve Kerr […]

Andrew Wiggins’ status moving forward remains unknown as he continues to be away from the Golden State Warriors. If he does end up sitting out the rest of the reason, however, Steve Kerr has a plan in mind. Speaking to reporters ahead of their showdown with the San Antonio Spurs in Friday–which is the 21st […]

Steve Kerr knows what it feels like when a dynasty’s time is finished.

[…]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr likes his side’s chances in the postseason…even without Andrew Wiggins. The Warriors have been without the services of Wiggins since just before the All-Star Break with the Canadian dealing with serious personal issues. With everyone at the franchise remaining tight-lipped about what exactly is going on, many observers […]

The Golden State Warriors are at their best when Draymond Green is their emotional fuel. Their defensive leader is also arguably the heart and soul of this NBA dynasty. Head coach Steve Kerr knows this too, and showered him with praise after an exhilarating 120-109 comeback win over the New Orleans Pelicans in the Chase […]

The Golden State Warriors still don’t know when Andrew Wiggins may make his long-awaited return to the team. Just because he’s missing his 20th straight game on Tuesday night due to personal reasons, though, hardly means Wiggins has left basketball completely behind during his absence. Before his team’s pivotal matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans […]

The Golden State Warriors may have lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in depleting fashion Sunday night, but head coach Steve Kerr still managed to see a few bright spots in his team’s performance. During a post-game media session, the seasoned headman discussed Gary Payton II’s efforts throughout the contest. Marking as his first game back […]

Steve Kerr is not happy with the way the Golden State Warriors played on Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran head coach is particularly irked with his players’ shot selection, which doomed the team among many other issues. Speaking to reporters postgame, Kerr didn’t hold back in his criticism of his Warriors, noting that […]

The Golden State Warriors are still “hopeful” Andrew Wiggins soon returns to the floor. Even if his ongoing personal absence extends through the defending champions’ entire postseason run, though, Wiggins can take solace from knowing he’ll still have heartfelt support from his teammates and coaches. After the Warriors earned their biggest win of the season […]

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.

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.

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 entered the All-Star break losing their last two outings. Now, two games since they returned to action, they are undefeated.

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.
