Warriors should trade for Caron Butler
Warriors should trade for Caron Butler...
Since all this LeBron James madness is lost on us basketball observers who care about the local squad, we’re left to figure out whether the Warriors will be able to retain Anthony Morrow or C.J. Watson. Yawn. Why don’t the basketball Gods just supply us with a bunch of herbal decaffeinated...

Announcers, talking heads, sportswriters and even the athletes and coaches are a lazy lot. Sure, they travel more than the average person, and some of them actually put a lot of hours into honing their craft. But that doesn’t stop a goodly portion of them from repeating the same bits of wisdom...

It makes little sense to get too excited about Anthony Randolph’s record-tying 42 points in his last summer league game, since the man whose record he ties was Marcus Banks. Marco Belinelli tossed in at least a couple 30-point games in his summer league career, too. Still, it’s clear that...

NBA Tuesday: Warriors drafting for their...
So it has come to this. The Warriors are getting ready for a two-month stretch that has everything to do with the future of their franchise — and by all accounts the June 25 NBA Draft looks to be a weak one. Weak drafts aren’t much fun, unless you get lucky. In the 2006 Draft (where Andrea...

Can’t say I saw that one coming. You probably can’t, either. Based on the Lakers’ pattern coming into tonight’s Game 6 at the Pepsi Center, pretty much everyone who follows the team expected to see a Game 7 on Sunday. That, along with an early double-digit lead for Denver, a technical...

Besides Damon Bruce and Mychael Urban, this site probably doesn’t have a lot of fans at KNBR 680. Ours is probably the biggest area in the United States where the media refuses to really criticize each other too much. It’s a pretty sensitive area, so even though I probalby consume as much...

It looks like all the reports detailing the demise of Bay to Breakers were a tad overblown. Sure, there have been several announcements that floats carrying alcohol have been banned on the race course, as well as glass bottles. Very strict rules, although there are no announced restrictions on cans,...

No offense to Larry Riley, who seems like a nice enough guy, but all today’s press conference announcing Riley as the new Warriors’ GM did was announce to the world how ineffectual, how impotent this team is from the top. Say what you will about the leaders of our fine Bay Area professional...

Phil Jackson, your team could have ended the Rockets’ season today, but instead they served up one of their worst performances of the season, getting routed by Houston even though they were without Yao Ming! What do you have to say for yourself and your team? “They didn’t anticipate...

I have to thank Manny Ramirez. While the drug he tested positive for couldn’t have made him as fertile as the chick on the First Response commercials (Ovulation Sensation, baby!), I can’t get mad at the guy who’s given me by far the most material over the past year. So I dedicate this...
