This Steph Curry Sequence Was Ridiculous, Even For Him
Steph Curry is at it again, right in time for Kevin Durant’s looming return and the Warriors’ forthcoming playoff run. In just over a minute, the Warriors scored 11 points, all of which were either scored or assisted by Curry. He nailed a pair of threes, assisted Klay Thompson for another three, the...

Here's The Only Member Of The Vegas Golden Knights Playing Soccer Alone In An Empty Arena
The Vegas Golden Knights will participate in an expansion draft in June in order to begin their first-ever NHL season this October.

The Warriors Are Alright
The turning point, it now seems, was the fourth quarter against the 76ers. After a brutal road trip and their worst stretch of basketball in three years, the Warriors returned home only to find themselves down 12 against the lowly 76ers on March 13. Kevin Durant was out with a knee injury, Steph Cur...
Golden Knights Owner Wishes Las Vegas Didn't Spend $750 Million On The Raiders
It is very NHL to be pioneers in opening up Las Vegas to pro sports, and then to become second-class citizens in their own market before a puck is dropped. But that’s what happened this week when the NFL approved the Raiders’ relocation to Vegas, where they figure to be the hottest ticket in town. V...
Oakland Taxpayers Will Still Be On The Hook For $163 Million After The Raiders And Warriors Leave<em></em><em></em><em></em>
When the city of Oakland brought the Raiders back from Los Angeles in 1995, then-mayor Elihu Harris enticed Al Davis with $200 million in improvements to the Oakland Coliseum. The city paid for the construction with taxpayer-backed bonds, and their initial plan was to pay off the bond by selling per...

Steph Curry's Got His Swagger Back
Whatever you make of the dumb beef going on between the Warriors and the Thunder over how the team has yet to pay tribute to Kevin Durant, it’s clear that the two teams don’t like one another. They spent their first three meetings of the season growling at each other and passive-aggressively pushing...

Okay, Let's Dive Into This Incredibly Stupid Warriors-Thunder Beef
The Golden State Warriors visit Oklahoma City for a nationally televised game against the Thunder tonight, but more than the actual game, the story is about how they are apparently still smarting from February’s emotionally-charged matchup, Kevin Durant’s first in OKC since leaving the Thunder. ESPN...
This Half-Court Draymond Green Lob For An Andre Iguodala Dunk Is Gorgeous
The Warriors didn’t have to try very hard to waltz all over the Magic tonight, but they still put in some effort to look cool while doing it. As evidenced by this nifty half-court lob from Draymond Green leading to an Andre Iguodala dunk:...

Missouri Just Poached Cuonzo Martin And They'll Probably Nab The Country's Best Recruit Too<em></em>
Outgoing Cal basketball coach Cuonzo Martin spent three seasons in Berkeley, where he put together a middling-to-good run. He won 62 of his 101 games and went 2-4 in three years worth of rivalry games against Stanford. Martin’s greatest accomplishment was recruiting Ivan Rabb and Jaylen Brown to com...
Draymond Green Remains The Beating Heart Of The Warriors
The malaise gripping the Warriors lately is a bit strange. It is understandable if they’re playing worse without the injured Kevin Durant—any team would play worse without Kevin Durant—and some sloppiness during a long road trip makes sense too. But there is no good explanation for why a team that h...

Tonight's Nationally Televised Spurs-Warriors Match-Up Might Be The Worst NBA Game Of The Season
The 52-13 Golden State Warriors, who have struggled lately, but nonetheless have the best record in the NBA and are favored to win the title!

Steph Curry Spoke Too Soon
At the end of the third quarter of last night’s Celtics-Warriors game, Steph Curry did some very rude things to Celtics rookie Jaylen Brown. After shaking and faking Brown out of his airspace, Curry rose up for a buzzer-beating three that put the Warriors up 74-71. And then he got sassy, turning tow...
