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 […]

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 […]

3.3K1Every view I could find of Steph Curry breaking Chris Paul’s ankles
“This game is really important to them. It’s more important to them than it is to us,” said Steve Kerr before the second quarter, when his Warriors were down 30-18. Kerr also mentioned that “it shows,” and he was right. Blake Griffin was doing whatever he wanted without having to worry about Draymond Green, and the […]

2.8K5Golden State Warriors’ dream playoff scenario (and teams to avoid)
The Golden State Warriors had their way with Dallas Mavericks last night, winning 104-89. The final score wasn’t surprising, given how the games between these two clubs have gone throughout this season. What was rather disconcerting was the general listlessness we saw from the Mavs, a playoff team that knows late April will be grim. When Dirk […]

3.3K9Tommy Lasorda on V. Stiviano: “I hope she gets hit with a car.”
Tommy Lasorda was in West Palm Beach, Fla. on Tuesday, collecting an honorary degree from Northwood University with former Villanova basketball coach Rollie Massimino. No big whoop. Tommy and Rollie, getting that paper, devouring some veal parm, chattin’ about a racist basketball team owner and his former ladyfriend. Well, just Tommy on that last one. Via the absolutely […]

2.5K4Warriors’ playoff ride was shorter than planned, but it was certainly wild
There weren’t any buzzer beaters, but this was the best series of the first round. Just the basketball was good enough, but add in all the subplots (highlighted by the Donald Sterling story that exploded midway through) and this was an unforgettable set of seven games. Unfortunately for the Warriors, they were unable in the end to ward […]

3.1K5Warriors notes: Jackson & Green take high road re: Griffin, flop-talk with Iguodala, O’Neal/Ezeli updates
Blake Griffin might not be the best villain, since by all accounts he’s a pretty decent guy away from the court. But as an object of scorn for opposing fans, they don’t get much better these days. He’s a big brute who gets to the line by sticking his face into opposing defenders’ chests, and […]

5.3K18Warriors force Game 7 with 100-99 win, in a game/brawl tailor-made for Draymond Green
It wasn’t a pretty game. The players on both teams looked like they were finishing a marathon in tattered shoes. Neither squad shot 40% from the field or made a high percentage of their free throws, but the Warriors survived because they defended and won more 50-50 battles than the team in red. As their gift, […]

2.3K4Losing Game 6 probably means Mark Jackson is gone – no pressure!
The Warriors played Game 6 at Oracle on two occasions a year ago. They clinched a first round victory over the Nuggets, and succumbed to the Spurs in the second round after the ankles of Stephen Curry and Andrew Bogut could go no further and a nasty spill meant losing Harrison Barnes to a concussion. Tonight’s Game 6, […]

2.4K13DeAndre Jordan returns after one-game disappearance, leads Clippers to Game 5 win
Game 5 was the opposite of Game 4. — Adam Silver attended Game 4 but didn’t speak publicly on the news of the day. Game 5’s tip-off came eight hours after Silver banned Donald Sterling for life and for the first time became something other than “the guy who isn’t David Stern.” — Stephen Curry made […]

3.2K4The guys behind the brilliant signs at Sunday’s Warriors-Clippers game
Sometime in the first quarter of Sunday’s game at Oracle Arena — when Steph Curry was raining down threes at will — this tweet popped up in my Twitter timeline. Good thing the Clippers owner isn’t here to witness that. #DubNation #BeatLA pic.twitter.com/3quh433cma — Jeremy Gordon (@JeremySF) April 27, 2014 It probably popped up in […]
