James Harden Game-Winner Sinks Warriors
The Golden State Warriors fought back from a 17-point Rockets lead to take their first lead of the game with just over a minute left. After a crazy back-and-forth that saw Michael Beasley hit two huge free throws, Ian Clark show up as a legit clutch option for the Warriors, and some horrific transit...
The Rockets Are A Miserable Basketball Team
The Houston Rockets fired their coach after just 11 games this season, finished 41-41, and are the eighth seed in the Western Conference playoffs. That is to say, they’re a mediocre NBA team, and therefore have some glaring problems, or else they would be better than mediocre. They get back-cut to d...
The Warriors Didn't Even Need Steph Curry To Handle The Rockets
While the early playoff games were on this evening, a mystery was unfolding at the Warriors’ arena. Steph Curry had been listed as questionable for tonight’s Game 2 against the Rockets since he turned his ankle on Saturday, and there seemed to be genuine uncertainty about whether or not he’d play up...
Here, Have Five Solid Minutes Of Warriors Highlights
I’m going to be honest, before I clicked play on this video I thought to myself, “Man, I’ve spent the whole dang season watching Warriors highlights. I’m going to get bored with this in under 30 seconds.” Then I ended up watching the whole thing from start to finish....
Rockets Fans Express Their Confidence
I mean, can you really blame them?...
Well Shit, That Was A Fun Night Of Basketball
There are, obviously, rules that explicitly govern sporting events. But there are also implicit rules, too, ones that say things like You always play to win and No player is bigger than the game. Last night, Steph Curry and Kobe Bryant took turns shooting holes in those implicit rules, and it made f...
The Desire To Be The Best Ever Is What Let The Warriors Achieve It
Seventy-three wins is unfathomable. Seventy-two wins is barely fathomable, and that’s only because the record books say the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls actually achieved it....
Mike Trout Can Dunk And Shoot
A few Angels players went to the Golden State Warriors’ practice today, and the world learned that Mike Trout can do more than just mash taters (he’s still really, really good at that, by the way). Trout can also ball a little bit....
Warriors Tie The NBA Mark For Wins, Screw Spurs Out Of The League's Home Wins Record
The Golden State Warriors pulled off a fantastic triple tonight with their 92-86 win over the Spurs. They won straight-up as the greatest 3.5-point underdogs the league may ever see. They handed their fiercest rival the only home loss of the season, denying San Antonio a chance to top the ’85-’86 Ce...
Crabby Warriors Vs. Bulls Take Contains Zero Evidence, Is Probably Right Anyway
The Golden State Warriors are one hell of a formidable basketball crew, insanely fun to watch, versatile, and with three games left on their schedule, they’re likely to tie or set the league record for wins in a season. The team they’re threatening is arguably the greatest the league ever saw: the B...
Steve Kerr Wants To Rest The Warriors, But The Players Don't Want To Sit
So that’s one question answered. With last night’s surprisingly handy 112-101 win over the Spurs, the Warriors have now clinched the top seed in the West and home-court advantage for as long as they’re still playing. The final three games—at Memphis and San Antonio, then home against the Grizzlies—m...
Harrison Barnes Put Kevin Martin Into The Damn Blender
Tonight, the Warriors became the second team in NBA history to win 70 games, as they comfortably held off the Spurs 112-101. Steph Curry was as omnipotent as he usually is, and the final scoreline is perhaps a bit generous to San Antonio. Kevin Martin had an okay game off the bench for the Spurs, bu...
The Warriors Are Ready For The Regular Season To End
After a 124-117 overtime loss to the Timberwolves, the Golden State Warriors have lost two out of their last three, and looked rough getting there. They turned the ball over a season-high 24 times, saw Minnesota attempt 28 more free throws, and allowed the T-Wolves enough open looks that they shot a...
Steph Curry Is Some Kind Of Jedi Or Wizard Or Some Shit
At this point, there’s really nothing Steph Curry can do on the court that would genuinely shock anyone. Perhaps aware of this fact, Curry turned last night’s postgame interview into a highlight of its own....
The Silicon Valley Guys Who Turned Around The Warriors Don't Believe In Their Ridiculous Luck
Friday night, in the third quarter of a home game against the Boston Celtics, Steph Curry started throwing up threes with no more trouble than a drunk trying to fall onto a sofa. Six for six he was, the kind of eruption that literally changes the dimensions of the game: He buried one trey from just ...
Please Be Careful When Reaching For A Steph Curry Autograph
Or else you might end up at the bottom of a big pile of rabid Jazz fans....
When Running Away Before Steph Curry Shoots A Three Goes Wrong
The Warriors won last night, as they always do, bringing their record to 65-7 on the season. They need to go 8-2 to get to 73 wins, which is bonkers. We spend a lot of time lauding them, specifically for their incredibly fun habit of running away before Steph Curry’s shots go in, but last night, Kla...
Should Steve Kerr Rest The Warriors?
The Warriors’ hierarchy of needs—after food, shelter, and of course, love—breaks down in this order:...
