Oakland Public Ethics Official Accuses Bay Area Politicans Of Abusing Free Warriors Tickets
Just before the NBA season started, the San Jose Mercury News reported that several Bay Area politicians had been abusing their access to Warriors tickets, using them to grease political wheels and pay off personal debts. The stadiums that the Warriors, A’s, and Raiders play in have clauses in their...
Steph Curry Nailed This Shot From Goddamn Mars
I’m not sure Steph Curry is ever truly out of shooting range, and he should be deputized to chuck from wherever he damn well pleases. Tonight, he tossed off a double-pump heave from two-thirds court or so, and he swished it. Sadly, it didn’t count....
NBA Fines Steve Kerr $25,000 For Offer To "Literally Put Together A Blooper Reel" Of Bad Calls
Following Wednesday’s win over the Toronto Raptors, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr shared his thoughts on NBA officiating with the Bay Area’s KNBR 680:...
Zaza Pachulia Is A God-Awful Dancer
A totally open jumper in the third quarter of a blowout is not usually cause for celebration. But Warriors center Zaza Pachulia was feeling it on Friday night, goddamnit, and after hitting a mid-range jump shot to put Golden State ahead by 28, he wanted to dance. If “dance” is the appropriate term...

Gifts For Golden State Warriors Fans
The Golden State Warriors went 73-9 during the 2015-16 NBA regular season, only to see their championship aspirations dashed in the Finals, where they blew a 3-1 lead to LeBron James’s Cleveland Cavaliers....
Warriors And Suns Enact Humanity's Doomed Search For Meaning<em></em>
The Warriors beat the Suns 133-120 tonight, but the game wasn’t entirely the display of offensive efficiency suggested by that final score. Here’s a sequence of abject futility and a metaphor for the human condition in 2016—saved, as we are always, by Stephen Curry....
Steve Kerr Rips Donald Trump And The Whole Damn Election
The Warriors ran the Mavericks 116-95 in Oakland last night, but way more interesting and important were Golden State coach Steve Kerr’s pregame comments on the campaign and the new President-elect: “The man who’s going to lead you has routinely used racist, misogynist, insulting words. That’s a tou...
Steph Curry Hits 13 Threes, Breaking Single-Game Record
One game after failing to make a single three-pointer for the first time in 157 games, Steph Curry went crazy on the Pelicans and broke the single-game record by hitting 13 threes. He shot 13-for-17 from three on the evening, and ended up with 46 points in the Warriors win....
Warriors Get Their Asses Kicked Once Again As Steph Curry's Three-Pointer Streak Ends
For their first week of the season, the Golden State Warriors largely looked like another data point to support the theory that new superteams need some time to gel—a blowout loss to the Spurs, followed by wins over the Pelicans and Suns that were far closer than they should have been. But the last ...
Durant Versus Westbrook Was Fun, And Then It Was A Rout
For about nine minutes last night, it looked like the Thunder might beat the Warriors. But then Jerami Grant dunked and screamed in Kevin Durant’s face, Durant went supernova and scored 39 points, and the Warriors won by 26....
Russell Westbrook Says There's No Particular Reason He Dressed Up Like A Photographer
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook wore an interesting outfit last night, but that’s something that can be said about him literally anytime he walks out of his front door. This particular outfit caught people’s attention, though....
Draymond Green Shares Totally Genuine Expression Of Sympathy For Cleveland<em></em>
He really had this one holstered all night, huh....
For One Quarter Last Night, Steph Looked Like Steph Again
In the grand tradition of LeBron’s Heat and, uh, LeBron’s Cavs, the Warriors’ new superteam has gotten off to a bumpy start. There was that dumbfounding opening night massacre at the hands of the Spurs, but even Golden State’s next two victories—an eight-point win over the Pelicans and a six-point w...
LeBron Roasted The Warriors At His Halloween Party With Some Extremely Rude Cookies
LeBron James, omnipotent shot blocker and NBA champion, loves Halloween. He had a bunch of his Cavs teammates over this weekend, and they all committed to full-on costumes (especially Iman Shumpert). James also used the occasion to stomp all over the Warriors once again in true Halloween spirit. A C...
I Think Kevin Durant Might Already Be Losing It
It goes against nearly all of my instincts as a sports fan and writer to buy into narrative concepts such as heroes and villains. An athlete who ditches his team for a better situation is not suddenly a bad guy just because some Twitter users and columnists decide he is, and public opinion doesn’t r...
So, The Warriors Got Their Asses Kicked
Let’s briefly acknowledge all the required caveats: that this was just the first game of a long season, that recent history has proven super teams always take time to gel, that the Golden State Warriors are still going to kick tons of ass this year....
Jonathon Simmons Flushed Steph Curry Down The Toilet
Perhaps the most humiliating moment of the Warriors’ ignominious collapse in the NBA Finals came when LeBron James soared out of the sky and pinned Andre Iguodala’s shot to the backboard in utter defiance of gravity and everyone....
Gregg Popovich Offers Touching Story Of His Friendship With Steve Kerr
In his first game without Tim Duncan since the Mesozoic Era, Gregg Popovich got wistful and told a touching story about his relationship with old friend Steve Kerr....
Andrew Bogut Dunked On, This Time On Twitter <em></em>
Dallas Mavericks and former Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut’s political beliefs are exactly what you would expect them to be. He complains about the rappers, cars, and the bling bling in the NBA; goes on random right-wing podcasts; is anti-workers rights; and frequently tweets profoundly u...
