5.3K9Hey 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 […]

Every California NBA team is dealing with drama … except Golden State
The Warriors are 67-7, thanks to a combination of talent, coaching and a cohesive organizational plan. They’re the best team in the NBA at the current moment, and although we don’t pay attention to divisional standings like we once did, it’s still worth a mention that they’re 20.5 games ahead of the Clippers, who are […]

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 […]

3.1K6Loss 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 […]

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 […]

2.9KHands and heart: Draymond Green played a game for the ages last night
This is probably overkill, since I devoted a lot of last night’s recap to Draymond Green already. But after waking up this morning, I got this feeling that was difficult to shake. What we saw from Green against the Hawks, even during a year so great that he’ll probably finish in the top-10 in MVP […]

3.1KWithout 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 … […]

4.5K2Preserving Draymond Green: Warriors sign Anderson Varejao
The Warriors pounced on recently waived center Anderson Varajao yesterday, signing him to the prorated veteran’s minimum (provided he passes a physical in Atlanta later today). Golden State waived Jason Thompson, a corresponding move that makes sense because Thompson failed to look like a viable NBA player since joining the team. Everything about the Varajao […]

3.8K6Kevin Hart challenges Draymond Green to 3-point shooting contest
Kevin Hart, listed at 5′ 4″ by Google, is challenging a man who’s over a foot taller to a 3-point shooting contest. Since the guy he’s calling out rarely backs down from challenges, Hart will probably get a chance to compete some way or another. I want to congratulate all of the participants in this […]
