The Warriors Seem More Worried About How Boring Utah Is Than The Jazz<em></em>
The Warriors recently put the finishing touches on a sweep of the Portland Trail Blazers, and they had to wait almost a full week to find out whether they’d be playing the Clippers or the Jazz in the second round. A Warriors-Jazz series is a much more interesting prospect, because even if the Clippe...
Is Gordon Hayward Good Enough To Give The Warriors Some Trouble?
Quietly, the Utah Jazz—the nominally starless, “quirky” squad, the basketblogger’s catnip—has birthed a star of its own. Despite a bout of food poisoning, Gordon Hayward led the Jazz past the Clippers in seven games, averaging 23.7 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, including a 40-point torrent in Ga...
Nobody's Buying Under Armour's Steph Curry Signature Shoes
Steph Curry’s shoes aren’t selling, and Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank tried to explain that with a heavy dose of corporate speak in an earnings call today, where the company reported its first-ever losing quarter:...
Kevin Durant Enjoys Meme Featuring Kevin Durant
The NBA playoffs’ best and most versatile GIF has been validated by Kevin Durant, one of its co-stars, according to a recent episode of Still KD. It’s a funny, slightly surreal little reminder of how celebrities can turn around and delight in their own cultural influence, relishing the memes they l...
Holy Shit, That Warriors First Quarter
When the Warriors are hot, there’s nothing you can do. No other team so gleefully tosses their opponents in the trash and sets that trash on fire as the Warriors, and no Warriors run this playoffs has been as violent or as thorough as the incredible first quarter they put together tonight in Portlan...

Warriors Coach Steve Kerr Out Indefinitely With Illness [Update]
After sitting out last night’s Game 3 against Portland, Steve Kerr will miss the rest of the series and potentially longer, according to Marcus Thompson of the San Jose Mercury News....
The Warriors Got The Blazers' Hopes Up, And Then They Killed Them In Four Minutes
Exactly halfway through the third quarter against the Trail Blazers last night, the Warriors were down by 14 points. After four more minutes of play, they had a two-point lead, and from there, they didn’t look back. ...
Hell Yeah, We Got The JaVale McGee Game
The journey from “cheap Shaq punchline” to “competent role player on contender” continues straight through the playoffs, as JaVale McGee gave us the purest 13 minutes he might ever produce: 15 points (on 7-of-7 shooting!), five rebounds, and four blocks. Good for him, and for any sap watching, becau...
Mark Jackson's Church Tried To Heal Steph Curry's Ankle With Oil
Sports Illustrated ran an excerpt from Marcus Thompson’s new book on Steph Curry, and there’s a particularly interesting anecdote involving the Golden State Warriors guard, his former head coach Mark Jackson, and Jackson’s church....
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...
Wizards Mad Because, Mew Mew Mew, The Warriors Kicked Their Asses Too Hard
God, this is so fucking embarrassing....
Draymond Green Tries To Explain Foul Of James Harden: "He Pinched Me, So I Punched His Wrist"
And now for another entry in the Draymond Green book of natural acts, after a third-quarter squabble with James Harden last night: ...
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...
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...
Four T'd Up As Warriors And Thunder "Brawl"
Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Semaj Christon, and Russell Westbrook all drew technical fouls as a fight between the Warriors and Thunder erupted near the end of tonight’s first half in Oklahoma City....

Here are some points. All of them can be, and maybe even are, valid, in the same universe, at the same time....
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:...
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...
