The Golden State Warriors are going to have to navigate the next few weeks without Stephen Curry in the mix. This is after the former back-to-back MVP suffered a devastating shoulder injury that will cost him some time on the sidelines. Steve Kerr is obviously not pleased by the fact that he will need to […]

The officials definitely didn’t cost the Golden State Warriors a second straight win against a potential NBA Finals opponent. Steve Kerr, to be clear, wasn’t suggesting otherwise on the postgame podium. But in the aftermath of his team’s wholly dispiriting 128-111 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, the Warriors head coach—whistled for a first […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and superstar Stephen Curry could not hold back their tempers after the referees missed what they believe was an obvious foul against the sharpshooter. In the final minute of the first quarter, Curry launched a triple and was seemingly fouled by Wesley Matthews. Steph fell to the ground […]

The Golden State Warriors face the Boston Celtics in a highly anticipated showdown on Saturday. However, they are making sure fans won’t forget that the day is not just about the two teams but about Bill Russell as well. Golden State has already revealed its plan to honor the legendary Russell during the game by […]

Steve Kerr shared a heartfelt message to Brittney Griner on behalf of the Golden State Warriors shortly after the United States government secured her release from 10 months of unjust detainment in Russia. “Brittney, I just want to tell you on behalf of the entire Warriors organization, we are so thrilled for you and your […]

There’s no denying the Golden State Warriors’ 112-104 loss to the short-handed Indiana Pacers on Monday at Chase Center was shocking. Just because the defending champions’ first home defeat in 10 games stunned, though, hardly means it didn’t feel familiar. “I just thought they came in and outplayed us, out-coached us. It was almost a […]

The Golden State Warriors’ historic loss to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2016 NBA Finals is a memory that will forever stick with Dubs fans whether they like it or not. This has been the case for Warriors general manager Bob Myers, but for his part, the high-ranking team executive continues to […]

Saturday night’s game between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets saw a rather bizarre achievement from an unlikely sniper. After making his lone triple of the game, Draymond Green has eclipsed Michael Jordan’s career three-point makes. Many found this hilarious, considering Green’s reputation as a god-awful shooter from the outside. When Warriors head […]

Klay Thompson isn’t playing against the Houston Rockets on Saturday, listed as out due to injury management just as he’s been on either side of every back-to-back the Golden State Warriors have played this season. Before Steve Kerr spoke with reporters prior to tipoff, the prevailing assumption was that Thompson wouldn’t play two games in […]

After a rough start to the season, the Golden State Warriors are starting to find their groove again. Wins over some of the better teams in the league this season have pulled them back above .500. However, greatness is all about not being satisfied with what you have. Based on Steve Kerr’s interaction with Alex […]

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is not known for his three-point shooting prowess. He has converted just 31.6% of his three-point attempts in his career, which is a below-average clip. Green’s inconsistent jumper is an outlier on a Warriors team filled to the brim with elite shooting.  However, Green is working to change this […]

Since their dynasty began back in 2015, the Golden State Warriors have struggled to take care of the ball. The Dubs have consistently ranked near the top of the league in turnovers due to their style of play. This season, the Warriors are turning the ball over more than any team not named the Rockets, […]

It only took six weeks of the regular season for the Golden State Warriors to finally find workable second units. It’s going to be even longer until a pivotal past component of the defending champions’ bench makes his 2022-23 debut. Asked about Andre Iguodala’s status following Thursday’s practice, Steve Kerr revealed that the 38-year-old has […]

James Wiseman was back in San Francisco on Thursday for the first time since being assigned to the G-League. Just because he briefly left Santa Cruz for a Players’ Association meeting, though, hardly means the Golden State Warriors will soon be calling Wiseman back up to the NBA. Steve Kerr touched on Wiseman’s stint with […]

Tuesday night’s game between the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks felt like an actual playoff game. Luka Doncic’s 40-point triple-double powered his team to a win, but the Dubs had a good chance of stealing that W away. Unfortunately, the shot was overturned after referees called a travel on Steph Curry’s final shot. […]

Jonathan Kuminga has a long way to go before cementing himself as a nightly impact player. If he ultimately lives up to that status on the Golden State Warriors’ quest for back-to-back titles, though, it’s safe to say Tuesday night will have proven a pivotal turning point in Kuminga’s development. Golden State fell to Dallas […]

Steve Kerr wants to keep the conversation about Brittney Griner alive as she remains imprisoned in Russia. However, the Golden State Warriors head coach also couldn’t help but feel devastated that the WNBA star was caught up in the middle of what he calls a “political game.” The USA has long argued that Griner is […]

James Wiseman is averaging 15.0 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 26.1 minutes per game since being sent down to the G League two weeks ago. The Santa Cruz Warriors are 3-2 with him in the lineup after going 2-3 in the first five games of the regular season. Wiseman, clearly, isn’t dominating G […]

Jonathan Kuminga went scoreless during the Golden State Warriors’ 129-118 win over the Utah Jazz. The sophomore forward, in fact, didn’t even take a shot in 13 minutes off the bench as the defending champions’ ninth man. It’s also not like Kuminga stuffed the stat sheet otherwise. His only accrued traditional box score statistics were […]

It has been seven years since Stephen Curry won as unanimous MVP, and sure enough, a lot of things have changed in him since then. While the Golden State Warriors star is definitely way older compared to his prime years, there are some things that he’s better at right now compared to the 2016 version […]

The latest fix for what ails the Golden State Warriors’ second unit? Leaning even harder on one of the defending champions’ veteran stars. Steve Kerr revealed before Wednesday’s game against the LA Clippers that Draymond Green will be on the floor to start the second and fourth quarters, hopefully mitigating struggles of Golden State’s bench-heavy […]

At this point, it’s hard to deny that James Wiseman’s lack of impact on the squad has been one of the most disappointing narratives surrounding the Golden State Warriors’ poor start to the new season. So much so, that the Warriors decided to send the young big man down to the G League in order […]

In case NBA fans needed a reminder of just how legendary of a shooter Klay Thompson is, he dropped a big one Sunday in the Golden State Warriors’ 127-120 road win over the Houston Rockets. Thompson, who promised critics that the floodgates were soon going to open delivered on that guarantee against the Rockets, as […]

The Golden State Warriors got their first road win of 2022-23 on Sunday, clawing back to beat the Houston Rockets 127-120. Even better? The floodgates finally opened for Klay Thompson, who followed up his most efficient game of the season by erupting for 41 points and 10 made three-pointers. The floodgates opened for a scorching Klay […]

The floodgates ultimately didn’t open the way Klay Thompson promises they will. Still, after his encouraging performance in the Golden State Warriors’ 111-101 win over the New York Knicks on Friday, there’s reason to believe Thompson’s early-season struggles will soon subside for good. Thompson scored 20 points in his team’s wire-to-wire victory, going 8-of-16 from […]

Benching Klay Thompson won’t fix what ails the Golden State Warriors. Steve Kerr hasn’t repeatedly brushed off the notion of replacing him as a starter with Jordan Poole out of loyalty to a four-time champion who’s still working his way back from two-and-a-half seasons lost to injury. The Warriors’ optimal blend of shooting, defense and […]

Klay Thompson, through 11 games of the 2022-23 season, has posted career-lows in both field-goal and three-point percentage en route to being one of the most inefficient volume shooters in the NBA thus far. And the Golden State Warriors have struggled to the tune of a 6-9 record as a result. Before the Warriors’ 130-119 […]

The Golden State Warriors wasted another epic performance from Stephen Curry on Wednesday night, falling to the Phoenix 130-119 despite 50 points from the reigning Finals MVP. Another loss pushes Golden State to 6-9, behind the tied Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder for tenth in the Western Conference. Needless to say, this is not […]

Lost amid James Wiseman’s G-League assignment is what the former No. 2 overall pick’s stay in Santa Cruz actually means for the Golden State Warriors this season. Draymond Green and Kevon Looney split all available minutes at center once Golden State returned from its winless five-game road trip, with Steve Kerr even starting Jordan Poole […]

The Golden State Warriors finally earned a comfortable victory. Playing on the second night of a back-to-back without a resting Klay Thompson, the defending champions routed the San Antonio Spurs 132-95 at Chase Center on Monday behind a barrage of splashed triples and forced turnovers. Jordan Poole led the charge from the opening tip, dropping […]

James Wiseman took the floor for the first time in three games on Monday. The third-year big man’s minutes weren’t an indication he was suddenly back in the Golden State Warriors’ evolving rotation, though. Wiseman only got off the bench because his team was salting away a blowout win over the San Antonio Spurs, giving […]

The Sacramento Kings beat the Golden State Warriors at their own game Sunday night, pulling away for a 122-115 win over the defending champions courtesy of splashed three-pointers and forced turnovers. The Warriors’ I-80 rivals, it bears reminding, aren’t the on-court trainwreck they’ve been for the better part of the last two decades. Sacramento has […]

Moses Moody started off this season as a regular in the Golden State Warriors’ rotation despite playing sparingly last season as a rookie. He was averaging around 16 minutes a game off the bench but his playing time has dropped off recently. Against the Sacramento Kings on Nov. 7 he played only eight minutes and […]

Klay Thompson went 3-of-13 from the field on Friday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, missing all but one of his two-point tries and going 2-of-7 from beyond the arc. His nine points in the Golden State Warriors’ hard-fought 106-101 win marked the seventh time this season Thompson has finished a game with at least as […]

The Golden State Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 106-101 at Chase Center, erasing a double-digit second-half deficit behind much-improved play from the bench, dogged defense and palpable team-wide determination. Draymond Green dominated on both ends despite scoring just two points. Andrew Wiggins had 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting, making life hard on Darius Garland and […]

The Golden State Warriors are off to a rough start to the 2022-23 season. At 4-7, they are struggling on both sides of the ball, especially on defense. One suggestion floating around is to invigorate the offense a little more by getting Jordan Poole in the starting lineup and moving Klay Thompson to the bench […]

As their bench continues to flounder over three weeks removed from tipoff of the regular season, it’s become clear the Golden State Warriors have a much bigger on-court role for Andre Iguodala than initially anticipated. Too bad the four-time champion is still nowhere near ready to make his 2022-23 debut. Steve Kerr on Wednesday updated […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has been tinkering with his lineup of late as he tries his best to get the defending champs out of the slump they are currently in. One of these tactics includes more playing time for the team’s two-way players in Ty Jerome and Anthony Lamb. Both Jerome and […]

Jordan Poole has gotten off to a bit of a slow start this season and the Golden State Warriors have struggled alongside him. But there might be a valid reason for his struggles. According to CJ Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr believes the issue might be the added defensive […]
