Jermaine O’Neal wouldn’t mind returning to Warriors, but not necessarily as a player
Jermaine O’Neal played for six franchises over a 17-year period before signing with the Golden State Warriors, and after just one season with the team he sounds like someone who’d like to stay a while. “I appreciate what my teammates have done for me this year, injecting life back into my soul. I appreciate what our organization […]

2.5K4Warriors’ playoff ride was shorter than planned, but it was certainly wild
There weren’t any buzzer beaters, but this was the best series of the first round. Just the basketball was good enough, but add in all the subplots (highlighted by the Donald Sterling story that exploded midway through) and this was an unforgettable set of seven games. Unfortunately for the Warriors, they were unable in the end to ward […]

3.1K5Warriors notes: Jackson & Green take high road re: Griffin, flop-talk with Iguodala, O’Neal/Ezeli updates
Blake Griffin might not be the best villain, since by all accounts he’s a pretty decent guy away from the court. But as an object of scorn for opposing fans, they don’t get much better these days. He’s a big brute who gets to the line by sticking his face into opposing defenders’ chests, and […]

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 […]

3.2KO’Neal says Warriors fans are among loudest in pro sports, wants decibel level reader at Oracle to prove it
While watching Game 2 at Staples Center, where the home team was playing almost perfectly on both sides and the crowd seemed half-interested, I wondered whether the Warriors new arena in San Francisco would be closer to Staples-level volume or the eardrum-crushing noise heard at least once per game at Oracle Arena, which has several […]

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 […]

3.2K1Spurs win 19th straight, beat Warriors 111-90
The Warriors walked through a wood-chipper in San Antonio, but they felt no pain due to the opiates still coursing through their blood from last night’s overtime win in Dallas. They did their best to make this one a game for about 32 minutes, but in the end they were blown out by the Spurs, […]

2.8K9Warriors win OT thriller on last-second jumper from Stephen Curry
Jermaine O’Neal blocked Monta Ellis’ shot with 13 seconds remaining in overtime, a beautiful rejection that the Mavericks believed should’ve given Dallas two points and the lead after a goaltending call that never came. O’Neal secured the ball and gave it to Stephen Curry, who toyed with Jose Calderon by changing directions several times (five, […]

3.7K3Warriors throttle Celtics to cap 4-2 road trip
The Golden State Warriors finished their road trip exactly the way they hoped, with a 108-88 win in Boston that was about as taxing as an afternoon of mall-walking. The only worry was Stephen Curry icing his leg and sitting out most of the second half, so here’s Mark Jackson to put everyone at ease. […]

Klay Thompson nails jumper with 0.6 seconds left to beat Indiana
Klay Thompson scored 16 points in the fourth quarter, including a turnaround baseline jumper from 12 feet away to give the Golden State Warriors a 98-96 win over the Indiana Pacers. Now the Warriors have road wins over the the two best teams in the Eastern Conference, which also happen to be the teams with […]

2.5K10Warriors suffer “bad loss” in Toronto
Besides the ridiculous travel schedule that would come as a result, the opportunity to move to the Eastern Conference sounds like it would be an absolute gift for the Warriors — especially after playing a fractured Knicks squad. But the Warriors don’t fare especially well against teams that defend and play at a slow place, […]

Curry’s triple-double leads Warriors over defenseless Knicks
Tonight Stephen Curry debuted a new edition of his signature shoes featuring the stats from his 54-point barrage at Madison Square Garden a year ago. He only scored half that many this time, but added 11 rebounds and 11 assists in a 126-103 blowout of the Knicks, a game where Curry and the rest of […]

2.8K3Bulls get revenge with 20-point win over Warriors
The second game was almost the polar opposite of the first. When Chicago came to Oakland 20 days ago, the Warriors fell behind by 13 at the end of a terrible first quarter before outscoring the Bulls 34-17 in the second, eventually going on to win 102-87 thanks to 34 points (13-of-23 shooting) and nine […]

2.1K2Warriors bench saves starters in “ugly, ugly” win over Pistons
Mark Jackson often mentions how defense travels, and that’s why they’ve been a successful road team over the last two seasons. It took a 37-point first quarter from the Pistons to give the Warriors a wakeup call, but after that they unpacked that part of their game and surrendered just 59 points over the last […]
