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 […]

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 … […]

3.9K5Chasing 73: How many losses remain on the Warriors’ schedule?
The Warriors are 45-4 (.918), so they’d have to finish a slightly less ridiculous 28-5 (.848) to break the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ record for regular season wins. Which sounds surprisingly doable! Talk about a realization that borders on surreal, especially for longtime Warriors fans. 73 wins. Insane, but not impossible. Each of the Warriors’ first […]

4.4K35Warriors would be insane not to pursue Kevin Durant
This fairly slow sports time of the year (Super Bowl corporate hype fest, NBA teams looking forward to the All-Star Break, NHL completely irrelevant outside Canada, college basketball regular season, no baseball) got a nice little boost from a Woj Bomb today. The Golden State Warriors’ plan of pursuit predates their 2015 championship run, a […]

4.3K2“Cocky” Warriors assert their dominance with 30-point win over Spurs
What do we have to look forward to now? The first round of the playoffs? The Warriors jumped out to a big first quarter lead, maintained their blistering speed and intensity, and expanded the lead until it became big enough to rest the starters in the fourth quarter. Familiar story, right? Except this time they […]

6.8K14Windhorst: To spite Blatt, Cavs “boycotted” game in Portland after losing to Warriors
The Cavaliers fired David Blatt today, replacing him with Tyronn Lue. This wasn’t a surprising development to anyone who watched the Warriors obliterate the Cavs on Monday, especially when they showed a distraught LeBron James — who never really seemed like he was in Blatt’s corner — commiserating with Lue on the bench. However, according […]

4.0K2Warriors welcome Steve Kerr to the sideline tonight, but the team grew in his absence
The walking talking deterrent to having back surgery … is back. After spending the last four months holed up in a dark room watching Spurs tape while claiming that his spinal fluid was leaking, noted malingerer Steve Kerr will serve as the Golden State Warriors head coach once again tonight, against the Indiana Pacers. Asked […]

6.0K6Bay Area Santa Guy: Christmas presents for every local pro team’s fans
Even though they haven’t all been good this year, I’m going to play the role of Santa Claus today and slide down the chimneys of every professional sports franchise in the Bay with gifts. And no re-gifting, expired gift cards or bargain-basement trinkets from the dollar store on the corner, either. These presents are sure […]

4.5K15Team Improv: Steve Kerr and Luke Walton embrace the beauty of creativity, chaos
The Warriors have two of the top-five head coaches in the NBA. They won’t after this season, because some team (the Lakers seem like an obvious choice, if they can get out of their own way) will hire Luke Walton away. But Walton is the head coach of the best team on the planet for […]

2.6K13Sorry, Lakers (and Suns, and everybody else): Steve Nash to join Warriors as consultant
The rich got richer today by adding someone who was already quite rich. This is fairly often the case for NBA teams once they become great. The Warriors never knew of such perks for so many years, but now the good news comes in luxurious warm waves, like those that caress the Caribbean sand. Today’s […]
