Dion Waiters Put The Warriors In The Trash Can
Last we heard from Dion Waiters, he had just lost $4 million betting on himself in free agency. Tonight, he beat the Warriors with a pair of ballsy threes. He’s the King of Miami now, those are the rules....

Steve Kerr Rips Players For Not Taking Their All-Star Votes Seriously
For the first time in NBA All-Star Game history, players had a chance to vote on the game’s starters. While their choices didn’t diverge terribly from the eventual starters chosen by a coalition of fans, players, and media members, several players who hadn’t played a minute received votes. Fans will...

Steve Kerr Burned Sean Spicer
Before his team took on the Magic in Orlando yesterday afternoon, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was introduced to the home crowd as a “former Orlando Magic star.” That was a curious way to describe Kerr, seeing as how he only ever played 47 games in Orlando, where he averaged 2.6 points per game. ...

That Time Bill Goldberg Tossed A Caddy Into A Water Hazard For Messing With Him
Bill Goldberg is not someone you want to put in a position to own you. The former NFL practice squad guy and WWE/WCW champion just recently came out of retirement, but back in 2002, he was near the peak of his powers. This yellow-shirted buffoon should have known that Goldberg was liable to follow t...

Russell Westbrook Has No Time For The Warriors
The season’s second reunion between Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant did not make for a particularly close game, but it was still plenty entertaining. The Warriors beat the Thunder, 121-100, and Durant had 40 points on 16 shots. Westbrook had a triple double (a quadruple double if you count turnov...

Kevin Durant Tries, Fails The Russell Westbrook Dunk
Tonight, the reunion the NBA has been waiting for is finally happening. That’s right, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Anthony Morrow is making his return to the Warriors arena. How did the fans react? I don’t know....

Goldman Sachs Does Not Want To Talk About It
If someone came to your house and camped in your front yard and screamed all day and night about how bad you are, you would want to correct the record somehow. Right? ...

Just What The Hell Was Going On At The Warriors' Arena Groundbreaking Ceremony?<em></em>
The Golden State Warriors held a groundbreaking ceremony for their new San Francisco arena today, and befitting an ownership group that believes it’s “light-years ahead” of the rest of the NBA, it was an ostentatious display. After the mayor made an awkward racial joke and a bunch of people in suit...

Draymond Green: Actually, Yes, Cavs-Warriors Is A Rivalry
This is a silly thing to discuss, granted, but it is a long season and we need something to sustain us after the Warriors and Cavaliers met for the final time—until June, we hope and pray, at which time everything that’s been said by everyone on either time will be dredged up and injected into the m...

The Warriors Turned The Cavaliers To Ash
With three-and-a-half minutes remaining in the second quarter, LeBron James had his Cavaliers 14 points behind the Warriors. Cleveland recovered from their largest first quarter deficit of the season by slowing the game to a grind and stubbornly parking themselves at the free throw line. The Warrior...

Klay Thompson Ruins Meticulously Planned Pregame Ritual
Everyone knows that Steph Curry likes to have a little fun during pregame warmups, shooting balls from the tunnel and whatnot. Before last night’s game against the Pistons, he set up what appeared to be an imaginary field goal attempt or soccer free kick, only to be thwarted by an oblivious Klay Tho...

Disgraced Former San Francisco Police Chief Gets Warriors Security Job [Update: Not Anymore]
Greg Suhr was the chief of the San Francisco Police Department from 2011 to June 2016, when he resigned at the request of San Francisco mayor Ed Lee. Suhr’s time in charge was a tumultuous one for the SFPD, but despite his very public departure from the SFPD, Suhr has been hired by the Golden State ...

Steph Curry Ruthlessly Dunked On
Steph Curry tried to hang tough and get a charge call at the end of the first quarter. Instead, he flew away from James Johnson at the first hint of contact like a flea off a dog and was subsequently wrecked....

Donald Trump Denies That He Hired Russian Hookers For Golden Shower Party
This evening, Buzzfeed News published a dossier full of Donald Trump gossip that has apparently been circulating among politicians, intelligence officials, and journalists.

Cal Football Players Only Found Out Via Twitter That Coach Sonny Dykes Had Been Fired
Berkeley let go of head football coach Sonny Dykes this morning, after four years and a 19-30 record. His firing comes with a buyout of nearly $6 million, thanks to a 2015 contract extension that was supposed to keep him at Cal through the 2019 season. Per Twitter, however, it looks as if players we...

Warriors Blow 24-Point Lead; Draymond Green: "I'm Kind Of Thrilled That We Lost"
In the third quarter of last night’s game against the Grizzlies, Stephen Curry was on his way to scoring 40 points while getting some “M-V-P” chants from the crowd. Which was nice, because then it all went to shit and Curry’s efforts were for naught. With close to zero offense in the fourth quarter,...

Tracy Claeys Has No Idea What He's Talking About
The Tracy Claeys redemption tour has begun and, as this particular sort of redemption tour tends to, it’s already revealing more about how ridiculous it is for football coaches to be seen as righteous educational and intellectual leaders than anything else. On Tuesday, Claeys was fired—in part, admi...

Sorry, Zaza Pachulia Will Not Be An All-Star
The NBA released the first returns for All-Star Game voting earlier today, and in the West, Warriors role player Zaza Pachulia sits second among frontcourt players, behind only Kevin Durant. It’s an especially impressive feat because this year he was seemingly fueled only by love from his homeland, ...
