2.0K6Loss to Spurs means only good things for Warriors (and us)
Admit it. You expected the Warriors to fall behind by 15 in the second quarter and pull their starters. Wait, that was just me? I probably should’ve learned my lesson after the last year and a half. Yet, I figured if they were going to lie down and let a team steamroll them, in effect […]

1.5K3Apparently the team with a .905 winning percentage is fine
That boredom phase sure didn’t last long. The Warriors have largely been carried by Steph Curry since the All-Star break, and on a night when he shot 4-for-12, two role players looked as good as we’ve seen all season. Mo Speights was +17 in 15 minutes, scoring 16 and grabbing 5 rebounds. He threw another […]

3.0K1“We have a deeper team.” – Warriors overwhelm Thunder late, sweep season series
It’s gotten to the point where no second half deficit seems to matter, as long as the Warriors kept the game close in the first two quarters. They were down 80-71 in the third quarter, in the third and final time they’ll face the Thunder (in the regular season), and they outscored the Thunder 50-26 […]

2.1KWithout Curry or Iguodala, Warriors show inner strength with OT win over Hawks
NBA teams aren’t supposed to care this much. Not during the regular season, when games supposedly can be ignored until the final two minutes, and distinguished coaches like Gregg Popovich seemingly punt a game every few weeks. But on Tuesday night the Warriors showed something they’ve displayed throughout this entire historic season. They care … […]

3.3K2Preserving Draymond Green: Warriors sign Anderson Varejao
The Warriors pounced on recently waived center Anderson Varajao yesterday, signing him to the prorated veteran’s minimum (provided he passes a physical in Atlanta later today). Golden State waived Jason Thompson, a corresponding move that makes sense because Thompson failed to look like a viable NBA player since joining the team. Everything about the Varajao […]

2.8K5Chasing 73: How many losses remain on the Warriors’ schedule?
The Warriors are 45-4 (.918), so they’d have to finish a slightly less ridiculous 28-5 (.848) to break the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ record for regular season wins. Which sounds surprisingly doable! Talk about a realization that borders on surreal, especially for longtime Warriors fans. 73 wins. Insane, but not impossible. Each of the Warriors’ first […]

3.0K35Warriors would be insane not to pursue Kevin Durant
This fairly slow sports time of the year (Super Bowl corporate hype fest, NBA teams looking forward to the All-Star Break, NHL completely irrelevant outside Canada, college basketball regular season, no baseball) got a nice little boost from a Woj Bomb today. The Golden State Warriors’ plan of pursuit predates their 2015 championship run, a […]

2.0K3Warriors get back to being the Warriors, shut Cleveland up
Cleveland, the factory of sadness and excuses, talks too much. Kyrie Irving said his team, if fully healthy, would’ve defeated the Warriors in the Finals. Cavs fans spent the offseason and part of this season making the same claim. Golden State beat the Cavs on Christmas, but Cleveland had another excuse: it was only Irving’s […]

3.1K12Warriors lollygag their way to 18-point win in Kobe Bryant’s last game at Oracle
This game was pretty weird. For anyone who’s been attending games at Oracle for any length of time, especially fans lucky enough to watch one of the several rollicking Warriors/Lakers matchups back when Kobe Bryant was in his prime and juiced to play in one of his favorite arenas, hearing Warriors fans chant his first […]

2.1K1“Damn, I miss that.” – Warriors beat Heat, who remember what it was like to be this good
The Warriors are 36-2. That’s the best start in NBA history, which says it all. Except now, as injured players filter back onto the active roster, they look as deep and strong as ever, even on nights when Steph Curry and Klay Thompson miss shots they normally make. The Warriors defeated the Heat 111-103 at […]

2.0K5Warriors’ fantastic four: they defend, they pass, and sometimes they even score!
It’s nuts that the Warriors, who were dying for a superstar — ANY SUPERSTAR — for so many years, suddenly have the best “next Jordan” since Jordan retired. “Like Michael Jordan was a whole other thing, this guy is his own thing,” Kevin Garnett said after Stephen Curry scored 46 in a win over the […]
