Pre-73 video: Watch Steph Curry make 5-of-7 from the halfcourt logo
The worldwide craze that’s sweeping the nation (and Toronto), otherwise known as Stephen Curry warming up before a game, has drawn crowds 90 minutes before tipoff — a time traditionally reserved for pregame drinking at NBA arenas. Tonight was no exception, as fans weren’t about to miss their latest chance to watch Curry dribble basketballs […]

3.3K4Likely No. 8 seed is a familiar foe, great matchup for Warriors
And by “great,” I really mean “fortunate.” “Easy,” even. Because even if they defeat the Los Angeles Lakers tonight at Staples, the Utah Jazz probably won’t make the playoffs. That’s because the Houston Rockets, who like the Jazz are 40-41, hold the tiebreaker (conference record, in this case) over Utah. Tomorrow the Rockets host the […]

5.4K9Hey Warriors doubters, don’t feel bad – you helped make history
Let’s assume the Warriors get win No. 73 on Wednesday night. After the game, someone in the home team’s locker room could give an acceptance speech of sorts — like what a newly-crowned MVP might say after winning the award, only from the team’s perspective, in which credit is given to everyone who made this […]

Warriors cap monster Bay Area sports day with win No. 70
So much for the Warriors being too distracted, fatigued, or whatever they supposedly were. The chase for 73 is still on … we think … after they beat the Spurs 112-101 to clinch the top seed in the NBA. The Spurs chose to play their best available players, and the Warriors responded with the kind […]

3.5K6Warriors are going for the record, and we’re about to see how important rest really is
The Warriors rested only one player last night who otherwise could’ve been active. It wasn’t Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green or even Andrew Bogut. It was veteran backup point guard Shaun Livingston who got a night off, and the rest of the healthy Warriors beat the 76ers by 12. This came one night after […]

3.2K6Loss to Spurs means only good things for Warriors (and us)
Admit it. You expected the Warriors to fall behind by 15 in the second quarter and pull their starters. Wait, that was just me? I probably should’ve learned my lesson after the last year and a half. Yet, I figured if they were going to lie down and let a team steamroll them, in effect […]

2.6K3Apparently the team with a .905 winning percentage is fine
That boredom phase sure didn’t last long. The Warriors have largely been carried by Steph Curry since the All-Star break, and on a night when he shot 4-for-12, two role players looked as good as we’ve seen all season. Mo Speights was +17 in 15 minutes, scoring 16 and grabbing 5 rebounds. He threw another […]

2.6K9Warriors are stuck in … The Boredom Zone
Most of the Warriors’ tough, long road trips are behind them, and they’ve gone 11-0 against the next five teams in the overall standings (both conferences). So, one might have thought this is the time they’d really soar. Look at all of these games against mediocre teams, with most of them taking place at Oracle […]

4.2K1“We have a deeper team.” – Warriors overwhelm Thunder late, sweep season series
It’s gotten to the point where no second half deficit seems to matter, as long as the Warriors kept the game close in the first two quarters. They were down 80-71 in the third quarter, in the third and final time they’ll face the Thunder (in the regular season), and they outscored the Thunder 50-26 […]

3.2KWithout Curry or Iguodala, Warriors show inner strength with OT win over Hawks
NBA teams aren’t supposed to care this much. Not during the regular season, when games supposedly can be ignored until the final two minutes, and distinguished coaches like Gregg Popovich seemingly punt a game every few weeks. But on Tuesday night the Warriors showed something they’ve displayed throughout this entire historic season. They care … […]

3.5K2The game has changed: it’s Steph Curry’s now
Steph Curry just completed one of the best regular season weeks ever with a 38-footer, a game-winning, overtime three to win one of the best regular season games ever, 121-118, over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The doubting former players, along with the current players who voted for James Harden over Curry last season for MVP, […]
