Don’t expect a full season from Stephen Curry
Don’t expect a full season from St...
Stephen Curry’s got it all: the pedigree, the looks, respect from coaches and media members, a starring role on a Warriors team that will let him do whatever he wants, the ability to write “Member: Team USA” on his resume, and recently, the No. 7 spot on Matt Buser’s fantasy basketball...

You have to think we’re in for at least another year or two of having Brian Sabean as the general manager of the San Francisco Giants, increasing to what is already the longest tenure of any active GM in Major League Baseball. Aubrey Huff was signed before this season for far below what his market...

“I have a philosophy about building a basketball team. I, as you know, was involved with the Celtics. And I really believe that you need three great players if you want to go far in the playoffs and potentially win a championship. Two gets you in deep into the playoffs — two GREAT players....

Chris Cohan has never cared about winning a championship. One doesn’t do everything he can to avoid the luxury tax, swallow trade exceptions and allow people like Robert Rowell to negotiate contracts if the overriding goal is rings. Cohan won his version of a championship ring today, when he sold...

Alright kids, before we get into this week’s edition of “Rampant Speculation,” let’s talk a little bit about JaMarcus Russell. I apologize for missing this while I was on vacation, but I laughed for 15 minutes straight after I just found out that Russell got arrested for sippin’...

It’s not that the Warriors haven’t been able to find talented players. Hell, one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference is determined to surround their franchise center with as many ex-Warriors as humanly possible (don’t be surprised to see C.J. Watson to finally get his chance...

In the age of instant information and access, it’s curious that all we seem to want to do is reassert that something we already knew is true. I blame Dennis Green, whose “They are who we thought they were” rant is probably the most well-known and oft-quoted coach’s rant, besides...

Udoh? More like Who-doh! Get it?...
Seeing as I’ve been calling Ekpe Udoh a “poor man’s Serge Ibaka” for a week now, I can’t say the Warriors totally whiffed yesterday. Golden State doesn’t have one guy on their roster (besides maybe Kelenna Azubuike) who’s a consistent defender and rebounder....

Don’t get it twisted, my last post wasn’t a call for the Giants to pick up Pat Burrell. He can’t field, he’s already made his money for the season and (most importantly) hasn’t contributed anything positive to a baseball team since Ryan Garko was an up-and-coming patient...

Watching the Lakers dismantle Utah last night in the same fashion the Jazz nearly always impose their will on the Golden State Warriors, this much was clear: the Warriors are eons away from contending for the Western Conference title. Well no duh, you say (I’m paraphrasing). The Warriors were the...
