Everyone Loves Golden State Until They Get Drafted By Them
There's a pretty amusing article about Golden State's pre-draft scouting camp where dozens of NBA hopefuls came to the Bay Area to show off for scouts and—more challengingly—pretend that they would actually enjoy playing for the Warriors. More »

On The Beach With Baron Davis And Mrs. Fantastic
So, is Baron Davis' Jenny Craig diet working? You be the judge. Perhaps Jessica Alba can dispense weight-loss tips (she had a baby in June). Here they are cavorting last week in Cabo — Jessica's in the towel — as Davis prepares for the NBA preseason which begins Oct. 5 against the Hornets. This photo (and the ones following the jump) are my way of bidding adieu to Miss Alba, who will no longer be gracing courtside at Golden State Warriors games now that her pal Baron is a Clipper. Goodbye, sweet Jessica. Goodbye. More » -

Two Sports Medicine Experts Agree: Monta Is Totally Lying
"I'm going to improve every part of my game. That's what I do. That's why I play basketball...to improve and to become the best player [who] ever touched a basketball." Monta Ellis said that just over a month ago, right after he received a six-year, $66 million contract extension from the Golden State Warriors. Now Ellis is recovering from a severely sprained left ankle and surgery to repair a torn deltoid ligament in the same ankle, a double-injury that occurred while he was "working out" in his hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. Or...did it? More »

Warriors To Be Decidedly Less Whiskery In 2009
OK, it's not a lock that Baron Davis is leaving the Warriors. But by opting out of the final year of his contract — leaving $17.8 million on the table in the process — it's pretty clear that there was more to that dustup with Don Nelson in the Phoenix game than we were told. But while that may be true, a certain ESPN Cheese Doodle-loving personality says he knows a different reason for Davis wanting to leave. It's because ... he wants to be a New York Knick? What? More »

Do LA Teams Have The Refs Hypnotized?
Another look at the last play of that UCLA-Texas A&M game that you may not have seen. I know that the rule of thumb among college basketball officials is that if a shooter is hit with two or fewer arrows during the last 30 seconds of play, then you should "let the players decide the game." Now, if the beer bottle had hit him (thankfully it missed), or the dog had been biting a more vital area, then perhaps a foul would have been called. It's hard to say. More » -

Mark Cuban Is Suing Don Nelson For Knowing His Team
You know, it's possible that Mark Cuban isn't quite over his Mavericks' loss to the Warriors in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. How can we tell? Because he's actually suing Don Nelson for having "confidential information" and using it in the Warriors' victory. He's really doing this.

Don Nelson Will Get Back To You On Whether He Believes

Apparently subscribing to this philosophy, Warriors coach Don Nelson — having vanquished the invincible Mavericks with a team that wasn't even supposed to be in the playoffs — as waved to his party guests and announced "That's it for me, folks!"

Wow, We Get Another One Of These Series, Apparently
So here's something no one could have expected: A second-round playoff series between Golden State and Utah that's destined to be thrilling, amazing to watch and go the full seven games. Utah won Game 1, but, as we watched the game early this morning while shaking off our Arcade Fire hangover, we were struck by how fluid the game was. These teams are a joy to behold; if you had the idea that the Jazz were just running the picket fence every time down the court, you're thinking of the wrong Jazz. Even the Golden State fans don't seem that upset. This is going to be another one of those series we don't want to see end. More » -

Fear The Beard
We never really noticed it until Monday afternoon, when KNBR Radio's Ted Robinson brought it up, but Baron Davis' stellar play against the Mavericks so far might be the best point guard performance by a beard since Walt Frazier led the Knicks to the NBA title in 1973. Sure, other beards have performed well in the clutch; most notably Bill Walton's for the Trail Blazers in 1977. And let's not forget Clifford Ray's beard, which teamed with George Johnson's gigantic 'fro to form a center tandem that led the Warriors to the NBA title in 1975. But at the point guard position, has there ever been a MVW (Most Valuable Whiskers) candidate to beat these two? We can't think of one. More » -

That's It For The Mavericks, Folks! Please Drive Safely
How quickly we forget the last time the East Bay lost a major chunk of freeway: 1989, when the Loma Prieta earthquake performed the honors. The Oakland Athletics won the World Series a couple of weeks later, of course. On Sunday it was Cledus Snow, sans Bandit, jack-knifing his rig in a fiery crash and shutting down a section of the McArthur Maze; the top deck of the freeway needed only 20 minutes to melt down and collapse onto the bottom deck. And if that's not a metaphor for what's happening to the Mavericks, could you kindly explain what is? More »
