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....
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....
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,...
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, ...
As Usual, Steph Curry's Making Outlandish Layups
Steph Curry’s having a big night for the Warriors as they play host to the Blazers. Portland shot their way into a halftime lead, but the Warriors put some distance into the Blazers in the third quarter with one of their characteristically sudden runs. Curry’s been shooting plenty of threes (duh) bu...
Shaq Makes Fun Of JaVale McGee's Hair; McGee Compares Him To A Minstrel
Warriors center JaVale McGee and Shaquille O’Neal have a unique relationship, in that Shaq makes fun of McGee on TV, and McGee gets angry at him....
Andre Iguodala Passes The Ball Between His Legs And Behind His Back For No Good Reason
Not only was the Globetrotting flair on this pass completely unnecessary to transport the basketball from his hands to Shaun Livingston’s, it didn’t even count since there had already been a whistle on the play....
It's Never Draymond Green's Fault
Warriors forward Draymond Green received a technical foul during Sunday’s game against the Cavaliers, his seventh of the season, and because he’s never really proven himself to be all that adept at self-control, he was asked what he needs to do to avoid further technicals by reporters yesterday....
Kevin Durant On NBA's Referee Reports: "I Think It's Bullshit"
On Christmas, the Golden State Warriors blew a big fourth quarter lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers in their first Finals rematch game. The next day, the NBA admitted that the refs blew a couple big calls at the end of the game. This annoyed Kevin Durant, but not in the direction you might think:...
NBA Admits That Refs Blew Two Calls In Favor Of Cavs; Warriors Remain Chump-Ass Chokers
The Golden State Warriors had all but the killed the Cleveland Cavaliers, and then they lost. This was famously the case back in June, and it was just as true last night. No amount of well-actuallying—not even after tonight, when the NBA owned up to the referees missing two critical late-game calls ...
Kyrie Irving Buried The Warriors Again
Round one between the new-look Warriors and the defending champion Cavaliers went to Cleveland, 109-108, with the knockout blow once again delivered by Kyrie Irving, who drove Klay Thompson into the paint with four seconds left before spinning around and getting an improbable fadeaway jumper to just...
Richard Jefferson Gets Technical Foul For Dunking On, Winking At Kevin Durant
Richard Jefferson dunked all over Kevin Durant during today’s big Warriors-Cavaliers game, and winked at the young man as he headed back up the court. That earned the 36-year-old a technical foul in today’s increasingly no-fun NBA....
Steve Kerr, Like Everyone Else, Blames The Millennials
Millennials, amirite? Don’t know what fabric softener is, don’t drink enough orange juice, put the Warriors down 65-49 to the Nets at halftime tonight....
The NBA's New "Kevin Durant Rule" Will Incentivize Young Superstars To Stay Put
We knew the new CBA made life a little sweeter for the NBA’s superstars, but it’s a dense thing to parse, and explanations have been dribbling out slowly. ESPN’s new Q&A with salary cap expert Larry Coon argues that the most noteworthy development is the owners’ new weapon to keep their superstar pl...
Steve Kerr Leads Warriors Fans In "Moment Of Joy" Sager Tribute
Golden State coach Steve Kerr spoke to fans in attendance for tonight’s Knicks-Warriors game to recognize Craig Sager, who died earlier today—but instead of a moment of silence, Kerr found it more appropriate to lead the crowd in a standing ovation as a “moment of joy.” ...
