3.5K6Beautiful, ferocious, and a team in every sense: The Golden State Warriors are NBA Champions
This was a team known for great finishes, and the last one was the best of all. After four decades of mostly heartbreak and apathy, the Golden State Warriors became champions in Cleveland, Ohio. It was an effort that represented perfectly what this team was throughout this magical and dominant season. The defense led the […]

3.8K5Cleveland sports talk radio unimpressed with int’l journalists covering finals, Oracle crowd
It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to fly across the country, but here I am in a hotel room 15 minutes away from Cleveland, getting ready to attend Game 6. After going on YSTL last night and listening to how confident everyone — including Ramon, the friendly parking attendant in CSN Bay Area’s garage — seemed about […]

3.5K6The Warriors are one win over a defiant, confident LeBron James away from a championship
Even in a Warriors win that set them up for a potential championship clincher in Cleveland on Tuesday, the story was about LeBron James in many ways. Sure, Steph Curry was the one with the 17-point fourth quarter (37 points in all) to help the Warriors pull away in a 104-91 victory in Game 5. […]

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 […]

3.2K2NBA Finals Game 1 Warriors notes: “Strength in Numbers” isn’t just a slogan
A lot of people billed this series as LeBron James vs. Stephen Curry, and if that was the case then the Cavs were the clear victors — even though Curry was hardly disappointing with 26 points, eight assists and four rebounds, as well as several key free throws in overtime after not getting to the line […]

4.2K7Andrew Bogut on Klay Thompson: “Pre- and post-concussion symptoms, same.”
We can safely assume that Klay Thompson will be in the starting lineup and ready to go for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday. The first indication: Thompson was getting some shots up when the media walked into the facility after practice: https://youtu.be/uIaQKjNp1ZEVideo can’t be loaded: Klay Thompson shooting […]

2.9K13Mark Jackson watches Warriors rout Cavs; Draymond Green was “looking forward” to facing Kevin Love
Even without LeBron James on the floor, this was an interesting matchup because two men were present who many thought should’ve been a part of the 2014-15 Golden State Warriors. Mark Jackson called the game for ESPN, and Kevin Love started for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Besides maybe Joe Lacob, Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut (more […]

3.7K6Stephen A. Smith says Warriors offered Thompson, Barnes and Lee for Love and 13th pick (T-Wolves said no)
Andrew Bogut would probably disagree with the following sentence. However, when it comes to NBA free agency tidbits, Stephen A. Smith is someone worth listening to. We’re in Kauai, getting one last vacation in before NBA Summer League and NFL training camp starts and the American sporting scene gets a little busier. After spending most of […]

2.9K12LeBron James may have broken their hearts, but “morale is high” in Warriors’ locker room
If LeBron James didn’t nail a high, arcing three that touched nothing but net to give the Heat a 111-110 lead with just 0.1 seconds remaining, the Warriors would’ve had their most satisfying win of the year and several heroes to “celebrate,” a word Mark Jackson loves using. But James capped an amazing game — […]

3.5K1Curry and Lee lead scorching hot Warriors to impressive win in Miami
The Warriors have now won seven in a row, but this game seemed like seven wins on its own. Golden State arrived in Miami, a party city if there ever was one, on New Year’s Eve. But they waited until taking the court against the defending champions to really let loose. After the Warriors won […]
