4.5K47Warriors’ biggest threat isn’t Cavs, Spurs or even Thunder
We’ve been distracted by all of the back-and-forth through the media between certain Golden State Warriors skeptics and the Warriors themselves that the whole thing has turned to noise. Actual basketball has become secondary, because all we have until a couple of weeks or so from now is preseason, which rarely provides a lot of […]

3.4K8Warriors finally play “A+ basketball,” demolish Rockets
What’d Curry say, after he drained a 3, to courtside fan who yelled “MISS”? “I turned around and said ‘Sit Down.'” pic.twitter.com/lmvgOdt1Fk — The Sports Quotient (@SportsQuotient) May 24, 2015 That was an absolute bludgeoning. A cakewalk. The Warriors outscored the Rockets in every quarter and won by 35 points (115-80) in a game the […]

3.4KRoad sweet Houston? Warriors a very confident (and competent) road team in these Playoffs
Just ask any old player or coach — going on the road is a great deal easier than it was decades ago. But even in this era of chartered flights, things can happen. The Warriors’ plane needed a new part, so they ended up having to use a different plane and their trip to Houston was […]

3.2K3It’s a Trap: Warriors win Game 2 on last possession with their best defensive play of the year
After the Warriors jumped out to a 16-point lead in the second quarter, it didn’t seem feasible that they’d be forced to make one final stop at the end to win 99-98. But there was James Harden, with a head full of steam, 38 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists already under his belt, and the ball in […]

2.4K9Warriors went 4-0 against Rockets, but they haven’t faced *these* Rockets yet
Last night seemed like it was going normally. After talking about the Warriors on YSTL, I drove home, took the dog out, and sat on the couch. My wife wanted to watch “Survivor” from the night before. I asked if we could watch the last quarter and a half of Rockets/Clippers first. My wife let out […]

5.4K31Mark Jackson on NBA MVP: “I would probably vote for James Harden”
Stephen Curry supported for Mark Jackson at the end of last season, when just about everyone else knew that Jackson’s time as head coach of the Golden State Warriors would be coming to an end rather quickly. Actually, that’s an understatement — and not just because Curry would do Jackson’s trademark “shimmy” celebration on occasion. “I love […]

3.0K6Just a hunch: Rockets don’t want to face Warriors in playoffs after Saturday night
The first words we heard going into the third quarter on the CSN Bay Area telecast, with the Warriors holding a 64-59 lead over the Rockets: “Alright, Jim, which of the elite guards blows up in the second half — Curry, who was 2-of-8, or Harden, who was 2-of-9?” asked Bob Fitzgerald. “I expect both […]

4.1K3980 wins still possible for Warriors
There’s a lot of “mark of a good team” tenets out there. Good teams defend, good teams win the games they should, all that stuff. Today’s edition of “the mark of a good team” comes from the last two Warriors games, actually: The mark of a good team is when they can win after playing […]

3.0K6Warriors get rare win over Rockets in overtime
The Golden State Warriors needed a win against the Houston Rockets just to prove they could do it, and despite 39 points from James Harden they came through with a 102-99 overtime victory.

Would the Bay want Jeremy Lin back?
Linsanity may be over, but point guard Jeremy Lin is still garnering offers from teams this offseason. According to ESPN’s Chris Broussard, Lin is meeting with the Houston Rockets to discuss signing as a free agent. Lin is currently a restricted free agent, so the New York Knicks would have the opportunity to match any […]
