3.5K6What Warriors think Kerr will bring that Jackson didn’t: Humility and assistant coaches with experience
The beginning of Tuesday’s press conference that introduced the new head coach of the Golden State Warriors was your standard Fitz-fest, a celebration of Steve Kerr’s basketball lineage. The main (only?) newsworthy component came from general manager Bob Myers (Joe Lacob didn’t take the stage today — he was seated in the front row, as you can see in […]

3.2K11Warriors steal Steve Kerr away from Phil Jackson and the Knicks
I guess this means you can ignore my post about the Warriors’ search for a coach from earlier in the day that included all those weird dating innuendos. Then again, you had probably already done that since there were two baseball games going on at the same time I published that story. This is absolutely […]

2.9K6Warriors’ coaching search is off to a rough start, but there are plenty of other fish in the sea
On the day Mark Jackson was fired, Bob Myers met with reporters and made it sound as if replacing their former head coach with someone better would be a piece of cake. “I would put this up there against any vacant job right now in the league as far as its attractiveness,” Myers said. The […]

3.2K20Mark Jackson goes on the sports talk radio offensive
Yesterday was Joe Lacob’s opportunity to explain the Warriors’ position, and he used over 3,000 words in doing so. The two quotes that stood out, at least to me: “This is Bob Myers’ decision. I have the final say, but (Myers) gets input from Jerry (West) as a consultant and advisor and from Kirk (Lacob) and […]

3.1K4Warriors fail to clinch playoff berth, lose to inferior team at home (yes, again)
Weren’t the Warriors supposed to be done with these stinkers at Oracle? Sure, they had already dropped home games this season to losing teams like the Cavaliers, Knicks, and even before to these same Nuggets. There were also losses in Oakland to teams hovering around .500, like the Wizards, Bobcats and Timberwolves. But after consecutive […]

3.9K7Radnich: Lacob “may have to think twice” about replacing Barnett
Jim Barnett is past the halfway point in his last season as a color analyst for the Golden State Warriors. Yesterday he made an appearance on the Gary Radnich Show (with Larry Krueger), and at the end of the interview Radnich brought up Barnett’s potential replacement. No names were mentioned besides Tom Tolbert, who Radnich […]

3.2K7Joe Lacob hounded by two defenders, commits multiple turnovers on same play
I don’t follow Kirk Lacob on Instagram, but Warriorsworld’s Jordan Ramirez recently passed along a video from four months ago that I had to share. Got to love February, the busiest sports month of the year! In this short clip you’ll see Kirk’s father Joe attempting to keep maintain possession against two dogs in what […]

2.9K14The New Lowtime
“There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first or last time, I owe him my best.” That quote is attributed to Joe DiMaggio, who really didn’t need to explain his effort or production to anyone. The Warriors still have a lot to prove, but lately all they’ve shown is they’re […]

Damon Bruce: Warriors arena at Piers 30/32 is dead
If Damon Bruce’s source is correct, I guess David Stern, Gavin Newsom, David Lee and others attended that press conference down by the water for nothing. With all the obstacles in front of the Warriors gaining approval for, then financing and building a new arena along the Embarcadero, this news (if true) isn’t entirely surprising. […]

Warriors fans in Oakland have it better than Kings fans in Sacramento
There are plenty of reasons to dislike the Warriors ownership group. The dubious hiring of Mark Jackson, a man with no previous coaching experience. The failure to supply the team with talent. The partial ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers. For fans who see nothing wrong with Oracle Arena or the city of Oakland, the proposed […]
