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.

Coming into his fourth year as the man at the helm of the Golden State Warriors, head coach Steve Kerr hasn’t been concerned about a contract extension of the five-year deal he signed back in 2014, according to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole. The 52-year-old is rather focused on his long-term health after notably […]

Omri Casspi joined the Golden State Warriors with relatively little fanfare this offseason as he arrived on a veteran’s minimum contract. Meanwhile, Nick Young — a significantly bigger name and more popular player — was signed with the Warriors’ full mid-level exception of $5.2 million.

As head coach of the defending champion Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr has a bit more confidence in his team than most other coaches in the league. But he just doesn’t believe in his All-Star quartet of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green. Kerr told Mark Medina of the Mercury News that […]

Klay Thompson’s fun offseason just got even more interesting. Nope, this isn’t about Thompson going back to China and reliving #ChinaKlay nor is this about him agreeing to endorse a toaster brand. With just a few days before the NBA regular season kicks in, Thompson found himself enmeshed in a sporting challenge against a sports […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr didn’t shy away from generational comparisons, grabbing one of his closest assets in Steve Nash and comparing him to his current point guard, Stephen Curry, as the team nears the end of training camp.

Coming off the best individual postseason of his career, Stephen Curry will enter his ninth season with little left to accomplish after netting two championships, two Most Valuable Player awards, multiple All-Star stints, and a cornucopia of records bearing his name. Yet, the Golden State Warriors guard will head into this season trying to repeat […]

The Golden State Warriors reloaded this offseason by signing seven of their impending free agents, including two key starters and two essential players off the bench.

The Golden State Warriors have revolutionized not only the offensive firepower that can be had in this league, but also the efficiency in which it can happen under.

In the aftermath of the Golden State Warriors’ 142-110 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked by The Athletic’s Anthony Slater what his favorite moment of the trip has been.

When the Golden State Warriors signed Nick Young in the summer, they had high hopes that he could immediately make an impact for them off the bench, and contribute with his efficient outside shooting.

Following a championship season, Kevin Durant is now a different player coming into his second year at training camp with the Golden State Warriors.

It has been an odd offseason for Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant. It has a lot to do with how he uses his social media accounts — burner Twitter accounts and all.

There’s a saying that misery loves company, and Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn probably had those words in his heart, when he communicated with a fellow coach, who knows what it feels like during the aftermath of a monumental sporting collapse.
