2.3K6Cleveland sports talk radio update: They don’t understand the Warriors (or their roster) at all
I’m posting this from a plane! I know no one cares about media travel, especially media travel complaints, but I missed a flight today. Mostly it was due to my own stupidity. I figured I had enough time to post an amazing Leandro Barbosa (“We … are … championship”) video before hitting the road, but […]

3.4K18Forget the Refs: Warriors getting out-worked, out-played, out-hustled by Cavs
They’re only down 2-1. A win in Game 4 would turn things around immediately, as the Warriors would have home court advantage in a best-of-three. But it sure feels like this is the Warriors’ comeuppance, the playoff misery we’ve heard about for years. It’s the NBA Playoffs Way, right? Teams and players have to experience […]

3.0K10Play of the year, game of the year (for now): Warriors advance to Western Conference Finals
Only one play really mattered in this series. Oh, you’ll scoff. You’ll scoff me right off the court with that mess. But as much as it seems like this series mattered, it matters much less now that the Warriors won it. Now it’s about what happens in the next series. And if they win that […]

2.9K3Without Draymond Green and after a terrible first quarter, Warriors beat Clippers
The Warriors are the kids in class who’ve already locked up A+ grades, but choose to complete the extra credit assignment anyway. Once you think you’ve seen them prove everything they possibly can during this regular season, they go to an entirely different level. Tonight’s 110-106 win over the Clippers — the Warriors’ 61st win of […]

3.0K2Warriors give Grizzlies a dose of reality — Golden State is simply better
Some quick thoughts before I run down to the CSN Bay Area studios to talk about this game on Yahoo SportsTalk Live. — Golden State’s defense was ferocious. They had 15 steals(!), with everyone who played at least 10 minutes getting at least one except Festus Ezeli, who had two blocked shots. — Any MVP doubters […]

3.1K6Curry renews MVP push, Draymond pushes buttons, Warriors get 50th win
It’s weird to go from reading about the 49ers’ incessant craziness to watching the Warriors’ pleasant dominance in the same day. After finishing their longest, coldest, toughest road trip with a record of 3-3, Golden State is getting back into their regular groove. The Warriors beat Milwaukee by nine, routed Dallas and took a 19-point lead […]

3.0K4Warriors are tiny terrors, Fitz mispronounces, Livingston dunks, FTs are missed, Curry makes no-look three
These rumors about Javale McGee are funny, especially after watching a game like tonight’s 102-93 win over the Bucks. This isn’t about McGee’s “Shaqtin’ the Fool” appearances, either. Lately, the best Warriors lineups have featured players 6′ 8″ and shorter. Golden State squandered a double-digit lead in the closing minutes of the second quarter, with Michael Carter-Williams […]

3.2K10Warriors get Jacked up by Jarrett’s game-winner, despite 30 points from Bogut + Ezeli
This was one weird game, for a few reasons. 1. Klay Thompson was horrible offensively. Simply awful. He shot 3-for-17, made 1-of-9 threes, and it seemed worse. 2. Besides Stephen Curry’s 18-point fourth quarter, the Warriors’ offense was center-driven. 3. It never seemed like Golden State was going to lose this game, until they did. […]

4.1K1Warriors go small, come back from 26-point deficit to win in Boston
The Warriors haven’t played many close games all season, and in a year where wins have seemed surprisingly easy to come by at times, on Sunday night they still managed to do something they haven’t done before — this season, anyway. Stephen Curry’s 37 points led the Warriors back from 26 down in the second quarter, […]

3.0K4Warriors win in D.C., Stephen Curry is ridiculous
So much for Stephen Curry’s foot injury derailing the second half MVP surge we all saw coming from the moment he started torching the Spurs on Friday night. Curry scored 32 points (11-of-18, 5-of-9 on threes) and assisted on eight other Warriors baskets in a 114-107 win in Washington, D.C., but that only scratches the […]

3.3K7It might not have been a statement win over the Spurs, but Curry flashed his inner “dog”
We know the Warriors hear the doubts. They might have a pretty winning percentage to go along with their aesthetically pleasing offensive game, but they’re a jump-shooting team. They’ll have trouble against teams like Memphis or San Antonio, the squad that came into Oracle on the second night of a back-to-back on Friday and lost to […]
