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 […]

3.2KWithout 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, […]

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 […]

3.6KDraymond Green and Klay Thompson named All-Star reserves
Even though the Warriors are the defending champs and own the best record in the league (and a better record through 46 games than any team has ever had), that doesn’t necessarily mean they deserved three All-Stars in the minds of the head coaches. The Spurs are only three games behind in the standings, and […]

3.4K1Warriors vs. Mavericks: the “oh yeah, Klay Thompson” game
Klay Thompson didn’t even play poorly against San Antonio. He was pretty good, actually — especially in the beginning, when he scored the Warriors’ first four points. He challenged Kawhi Leonard, which helped allow Stephen Curry and others to enjoy their Monday night a lot more than many observers thought they would. Yet Thompson ended […]

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 […]

3.2K3Warriors get back to being the Warriors, shut Cleveland up
Cleveland, the factory of sadness and excuses, talks too much. Kyrie Irving said his team, if fully healthy, would’ve defeated the Warriors in the Finals. Cavs fans spent the offseason and part of this season making the same claim. Golden State beat the Cavs on Christmas, but Cleveland had another excuse: it was only Irving’s […]

4.2K12Warriors lollygag their way to 18-point win in Kobe Bryant’s last game at Oracle
This game was pretty weird. For anyone who’s been attending games at Oracle for any length of time, especially fans lucky enough to watch one of the several rollicking Warriors/Lakers matchups back when Kobe Bryant was in his prime and juiced to play in one of his favorite arenas, hearing Warriors fans chant his first […]

3.7K3Klay Thompson shooting lights-out since Harrison Barnes’ ankle injury
Klay Thompson is having a December to remember, which is remarkable for a few reasons. Thompson didn’t look like himself early in the season due to back pain. We’re barely halfway through the month. Thompson sprained his ankle on Dec. 8 against Indiana after scoring 39. If we take out the game in Milwaukee, when […]
