2.5K4Warriors’ playoff ride was shorter than planned, but it was certainly wild
There weren’t any buzzer beaters, but this was the best series of the first round. Just the basketball was good enough, but add in all the subplots (highlighted by the Donald Sterling story that exploded midway through) and this was an unforgettable set of seven games. Unfortunately for the Warriors, they were unable in the end to ward […]

3.2K5Warriors notes: Jackson & Green take high road re: Griffin, flop-talk with Iguodala, O’Neal/Ezeli updates
Blake Griffin might not be the best villain, since by all accounts he’s a pretty decent guy away from the court. But as an object of scorn for opposing fans, they don’t get much better these days. He’s a big brute who gets to the line by sticking his face into opposing defenders’ chests, and […]

5.3K18Warriors force Game 7 with 100-99 win, in a game/brawl tailor-made for Draymond Green
It wasn’t a pretty game. The players on both teams looked like they were finishing a marathon in tattered shoes. Neither squad shot 40% from the field or made a high percentage of their free throws, but the Warriors survived because they defended and won more 50-50 battles than the team in red. As their gift, […]

2.4K13DeAndre Jordan returns after one-game disappearance, leads Clippers to Game 5 win

2.7K2Warriors-Clippers Game 4 notes: Draymond’s hands wreak havoc, Bogut sighting, Sterling’s least favorite Warrior, etc.
There’s a lot to cover after an NBA playoff game. Both coaches and several key players head to the podium, and the locker room is a treasure trove of vital information and quips. It’s a little overwhelming when you go back to the media room, sit down and try to piece everything together … while trying […]

2.3K1Warriors beat Clippers by 21, evening a series that suddenly is different in every way
Doc Rivers worried before Game 4 that his team might start out well, but eventually run out of gas and become emotionally spent after what they’ve dealt with over the last two days. A David Lee basket gave the Warriors a 5-4 lead in Game 4, and Golden State never looked back in a decisive 118-97 victory to […]

2.2K14Donald Sterling pulls a Chris Culliver
Donald Sterling’s a racist — pass it around! If you didn’t know Sterling was a vile piece of bigoted human filth, you haven’t been paying attention. “Black tenants smell and attract vermin.” That’s something Donald Sterling allegedly uttered as one of the reasons why he discrimated against tenants based on race. Sterling, who made his fortune in […]

2.8K3Clippers survive improbable Warriors comeback, Curry thinks he was fouled at the end, Clips disagree
The Golden State Warriors were lucky to be in the position they found themselves with 8.6 seconds to go. After falling behind by 18 in the third quarter and looking like a team that might lose by a huge margin to the Los Angeles Clippers once again, the Warriors were down 98-96 after Chris Paul made […]

2.2K4Home court may be Warriors’ only advantage after 40-point loss in Game 2
An hour before tipoff, Mark Jackson told reporters, “We didn’t come here to win one game.” Maybe they went in thinking they wouldn’t be satisfied with a split, but it looked like the Warriors were already in Oakland by the time this game was midway through the second quarter, and things progressively got worse for Golden State in […]

3.5K5Warriors win Game 1, take first step toward final goal: saving Mark Jackson’s job
It was the epitome of a team win for the Golden State Warriors, who survived a wild Game 1 at Staples Center with a 109-105 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. 10 Warriors scored, 12 saw time on the floor, and they all pushed themselves past their limits for their embattled head coach. “I was watching […]
