The Warriors Coaching Staff Is Heartbroken About Missing The All-Star Game

The Warriors coaching staff has worked two All-Star Games in their run of dominating the league, and that apparently that’s enough. Or maybe they just really don’t want to spend a weekend in Charlotte. (Either way, who can blame them?) After beating the Lakers last night, though, the coaches’ midsea...

God Help Us All, DeMarcus Cousins Is Fitting In Perfectly With The Warriors 

For six months, Steve Kerr urged caution. Yes, DeMarcus Cousins joining the Warriors was a ridiculous coup, but Boogie’s recovery from an Achilles tendon tear was going to take time. Sure, the four-time all-star’s arrival in Oakland on a one-year rental represented yet another instance of Golden Sta...

Here's Steph Curry Legitimately Sucking At Basketball For A Few Precious Seconds

The Warriors are 33-14, Boogie is back, and they beat the Lakers 130-111 last night behind 44 points from Klay Thompson. These guys are almost definitely going to win the title again, and so the only thing non-Warriors fans can do while waiting for the inevitable is grab hold of as many brief moment...

League Mourns As Teams Realize DeMarcus Cousins Is Still Pretty Damn Good At Basketball

Whelp, that was fun while it lasted. The brief period where we could pretend to believe that other teams besides the Warriors had a chance at making a run for an NBA title is officially over after DeMarcus “Boogie” Cousins made his season debut for the Warriors on Friday against the Clippers in a 11...

Rolling Pelicans Roasted By Steph Curry's Spontaneous Combustion

The Pelicans came into the second half Wednesday night up five over the Warriors, and quickly added to the lead until it got as big as 16 points. The Pelicans are a fun and surprisingly tough matchup for the Warriors, and they appeared to have the game firmly in their grasp with 4:49 left in the th...

The Nuggets Met The Golden State Monster

Last night against the Warriors, the Denver Nuggets shot 45 percent from the floor, 41 percent from three-point range, dished 30 assists, and finished the game with 111 points. They also got their nuts kicked off....

Bucks Owner Marc Lasry Breathes Fresh Life Into The Steph-For-Bogut What-If Scenario

Back in 2016, then-San Jose Mercury News columnist Tim Kawakami debunked a persistent rumor that the Warriors were once set to trade 23-year-old Stephen Curry for Bucks center Andrew Bogut, before the Bucks pulled the plug over concerns about Curry’s balky ankle. As Kawakami laid out at the time, th...

The Warriors Outdid Themselves With A Supernova First Quarter

Technically, the second-place Golden State Warriors were playing against the best team in the West when they took the floor tonight against the Denver Nuggets. But it took them only 12 minutes to show just how misleading the standings can be, absolutely exploding for a franchise-record 10 three-poin...

Robin Lopez Is Trapped In Basketball Hell

Robin Lopez is having a bad time. The Bulls are awful, and are presently mired in a seven-game losing streak, with two games left on their current Western Conference road trip. To add insult to injury, this week head coach Jim Boylen told Lopez he’d be seeing fewer minutes of court time as the team ...

Bobby Portis Accuses Kevin Durant Of Injuring Him On Purpose

In the third quarter of Friday’s game between the Bulls and the Warriors, Bobby Portis attempted to set a screen on Kevin Durant so that Kris Dunn could get to the basket. Durant tried to get past Portis using a swim move—not unlike what a defensive lineman uses to get to a QB—and ended up pulling P...

Report: Nick Young Stole Man's Phone And Hit Him In The Dick And Balls At A Car Wash

Nick Young’s lone NBA action this season was a four-game cup of coffee with the Nuggets. He scored nine points and got waived shortly before the new year, though it appears he’s still getting shots up....

The End Is Nigh

The good news: A supremely gifted superstar center who has missed every minute of what has already been a pretty fun NBA season is nearly ready to return to action. The bad news: The happy and light-filled days when we are able to pretend that teams other than the Golden State Warriors have a realis...

The Patrick McCaw Holdout Saga Keeps Getting Weirder [Update]

Swingman Patrick McCaw spent the last two seasons with the Warriors, playing 16 or so minutes a game and providing the team with wing depth. He started a few playoff games, struggled with his confidence, did some cool dunks, and won two rings. This offseason, though, he refused to re-sign with the t...

The Warriors And Kings Set A Whole Bunch Of Three-Point Records

The Warriors may possibly be all fucked up—in fact a good sign of that is that they made 21 threes against the Kings and nearly lost—but they can still put on a show. Last night’s game featured at least four shooting records:...

James Harden Is The Most Valuable Damn Player

There are perfectly good reasons to root against both the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets. The Warriors have Kevin Durant and Draymond Green and are a juggernaut; the Rockets have James Harden and Chris Paul and play maybe the least interesting brand of basketball of any worth-a-shit N...

Warriors Get Go-Ahead Overtime Bucket After Just An Incredible Blown Call

The Rockets and Warriors were tied at 132 with less than a minute left in overtime Thursday night when Kevin Durant lost control of the ball in the paint and chased it into the corner. Here’s what happened:...

The Warriors Had Themselves Another Very Normal One

The Warriors lost their second consecutive home game Thursday night, in a thrilling 110–109 overtime affair against the Portland Trail Blazers. Eventually none of this will matter, when the Warriors win the title and we all reflect on this time as a goofy period of intensely embarrassing overreactio...

Marcus Thompson of The Athletic zooms right past the central conflicts of the Durant-era Warriors—a looming salary crunch and a style of play that involves less ball and player movement than their coach and non-Durant stars would prefer—to arrive at a vague, Draymond Green-centered and Jimmy Iovine-...

Draymond Green Is Kind Of Killing The Warriors

The Warriors got smashed well and good by the Lakers last night, earning their 12th loss of what has so far been an uninspiring (by their standards) season. The Warriors have never had more than seven losses by Christmas during the Steve Kerr era, and it was genuinely strange to see them, at full st...

Here Is A Heartwarming Video Of DeMarcus Cousins Dunking On Kevin Durant

Approximately 11 months after tearing his Achilles tendon, DeMarcus Cousins is slowly working his way into playing shape. He practiced a few times with the Warriors’ D-League team, although Steve Kerr told the San Francisco Chronicle’s Connor Letourneau yesterday that Boogie is “really not that clos...
