Goddamn, The Warriors Got Mollywhopped Last Night
Before last night, the Warriors’ 12 losses this season could mostly be put into one of three buckets: somebody was injured, somebody on the opposing team went supernova, or the Warriors played like dogshit. It isn’t a slight, nor inaccurate, to say that the Warriors—who finished the regular season w...
Draymond Green Might Be Screwed
You could look at the Oklahoma City Thunder’s destruction of the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals as a turning point in the series—KD and Russ are hot! The role players are contributing! Serge Ibaka may not suck anymore!—but what may very well end up deciding who adva...

Larry Bird Thinks This Might Be The Greatest NBA Era
The Warriors’ two years of dominance has been accompanied by a chorus of former NBA players downplaying their accomplishments, and by extension the rest of the modern NBA.

Steph Curry Will Extinguish You Before You Even Realize It
A few times in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors would make spurts of six or eight points, but never achieve sufficient escape velocity to get out of OKC’s orbit. This is rare, and they let the Thunder wander back into the game, which they eventually won. Not so much tonight. The...
Just How In The World Did Andre Iguodala Hit This Layup?
Andre Iguodala is primarily a defender and a passer for the Golden State Warriors. He won the Finals MVP for a series in which he shot 10-for-28 37-for-71 after all. But this circus layup, my lord. Get a load of this puppy. The whole play was wild and weird, but the finish (which Shaq correctly call...
Draymond Green Knees Steven Adams In The Dick And Balls
