3.1K2Warriors need to stop avoiding the paint in Game 3
I went back and reviewed every second of Game 2, paying closer attention to the Warriors’ offensive possessions. Since the Warriors held the Cavs to under 33% shooting and were “horrible” on offense (according to Draymond Green), doing it that way seemed to make sense. Almost immediately after Game 2 ended, a few things stood out. […]

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 […]

3.5K2Led by Andre Iguodala, Warriors win phenomenal Game 1 of NBA Finals in OT
It was a game that could’ve gone five more overtimes and no one would’ve minded, but the Warriors outscored the Cavaliers 10-2 in the extra session to win 108-100 and take a 1-0 lead in the 2015 NBA Finals. Check that — a few players on Cleveland probably would’ve minded if they had to play an extra […]

3.2K10Warriors get Jacked up by Jarrett’s game-winner, despite 30 points from Bogut + Ezeli
This was one weird game, for a few reasons. 1. Klay Thompson was horrible offensively. Simply awful. He shot 3-for-17, made 1-of-9 threes, and it seemed worse. 2. Besides Stephen Curry’s 18-point fourth quarter, the Warriors’ offense was center-driven. 3. It never seemed like Golden State was going to lose this game, until they did. […]

4.1K1Warriors go small, come back from 26-point deficit to win in Boston
The Warriors haven’t played many close games all season, and in a year where wins have seemed surprisingly easy to come by at times, on Sunday night they still managed to do something they haven’t done before — this season, anyway. Stephen Curry’s 37 points led the Warriors back from 26 down in the second quarter, […]

2.9K4Reserves lead Warriors to one last blowout win over Sacramento (this season, anyway)
The Warriors did everything right in Sacramento. They capped a season sweep of the Kings with a 121-96 victory. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Bogut and Draymond Green sat out the fourth quarter, a nice bonus with the Mavericks visiting Oracle Arena on Wednesday night. They also got tremendous performances from three reserves: Andre Iguodala, Mo […]

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 […]

Fitting David Lee into the Warriors rotation
With David Lee coming back from his strained hamstring relatively soon (one would think, anyway), the Warriors will need to figure out where he fits into their rotation. The Warriors thus far this season have not missed a beat without Lee; they have jumped out to their best ever start and are currently riding a 13-game […]

2.7K1Warriors won ugly last night, announced decisions on Barnes, Ezeli and Nedovic today
Finally found some non-Giants (they won the World Series, in case you weren’t aware) time to slog through a viewing of last night’s 95-77 win over the Kings, a game in which the Warriors committed 22 turnovers and still won the giveaway/takeaway battle by a margin of +4. The Warriors and Kings combined for 58 personal fouls […]

2.8K3Clippers survive improbable Warriors comeback, Curry thinks he was fouled at the end, Clips disagree
The Golden State Warriors were lucky to be in the position they found themselves with 8.6 seconds to go. After falling behind by 18 in the third quarter and looking like a team that might lose by a huge margin to the Los Angeles Clippers once again, the Warriors were down 98-96 after Chris Paul made […]

3.5K5Warriors win Game 1, take first step toward final goal: saving Mark Jackson’s job
It was the epitome of a team win for the Golden State Warriors, who survived a wild Game 1 at Staples Center with a 109-105 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. 10 Warriors scored, 12 saw time on the floor, and they all pushed themselves past their limits for their embattled head coach. “I was watching […]
