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...

A Non-Exhaustive List Of Batshit Stuff That Happened During The Cal-TCU Bowl Game<em></em>

My beloved idiot sons, the California Golden Bears football team, somehow lost the worst college football game of the season last night to TCU, a 10-7 stinker that featured the worst interception you’ll see throughout bowl season, and also the second-worst. If those two weren’t enough for you, don’t...

This Is Almost Certainly The Worst Double-Pass Play You Will Ever See

Wednesday night’s excruciating bowl game between Cal and TCU featured 17 total points and nine combined interceptions, and needed an overtime field goal for the nominal winner to slink out of there with somehow even less dignity than their vanquished foe. Of those nine interceptions, believe it or n...

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...

Doug Christie Was Pretty Horny For This Steph Curry Crossover

Just two days removed from a 20-point loss to the Kawhi-less Toronto Raptors, the Golden State Warriors were looking for a bounce-back win against the up-and-coming Sacramento Kings. Thanks to the efforts of Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson—who combined for 95 points—they were able to fen...

The Raptors Didn't Even Need Kawhi Leonard To Punk The Warriors In Oakland

Last week, the Warriors traveled to Milwaukee and avenged their early-season loss to the Bucks with ease, dispatching one of their possible Finals opponents without ever having to do to much. They clearly made a point of putting the Bucks in their place—increasingly rickety Andre Iguodala played 28 ...

Warriors Accuse Athletic Writer Of Fabricating Steph Curry “Tranny Sex Tape” Joke [Update]

In a profile of Steph Curry published earlier this week, Marcus Thompson II, a writer for The Athletic, described a scene between Curry and rapper Mistah F.A.B. in which the two were “laughing [...] about a certain tranny sex tape.” After facing backlash over the use of the slur, The Athletic change...

Steph Curry Acknowledges Dark Side Of Moon Truthering, Says It Was A Joke

Okay, looks like this cycle has been compressed to just three days. On a Winging It podcast episode released Monday, Warriors star Steph Curry denied that man landed on the Moon. That night, right on cue, he went with the oh-so-cheeky “just asking questions” posturing:...

Steph Curry Pulls Up From 238,900 Miles, Denies Moon Landing

Over the weekend, the Chang’e-4 spacecraft took flight from Sichaun province in China. It is bound for the far side of the Moon. The craft is expected to touch down early next month, becoming the first ever to “soft-land” on the far side. Where does Steph Curry think the craft is headed?...

Ryan Reaves Injured Tom Wilson On A Blindside Hit<em></em>

In a rare departure from routine, Capitals enforcer Tom Wilson was on the receiving end of multiple crushing hits from one of the few NHL players who can claim to be as bruising as he is—Golden Knights winger Ryan Reaves. Reaves went after Wilson on multiple occasions in Vegas’s 5-3 victory, eventua...

Trae Young Doesn't Have To Be The Next Steph Curry<em></em>

The comparisons were inevitable, and are not entirely without merit. Trae Young’s game is built on breaking down the first defender he faces off the dribble and trades on the ever-present threat that he’ll pop off a three-pointer anywhere inside his own end of the court, which is to say that he’s th...

Report: The Warriors Had To Wash Their Hands A Lot

After sweeping the Cavaliers in last season’s NBA Finals, retiring big guy David West gave a cryptic answer about the team facing unreported difficulties behind the scenes, the kind of thing that made their season more challenging than outsiders could comprehend. What’s more, according to West, only...

Pascal Siakam Is Fun For The Whole Family

Six-foot-nine and a grinning menace on the fast break? Check. Seven-foot-three wingspan and can be switched anywhere? Check. Glitch-like speed and the sweetest spin move going? Check. Extremely powerful name? Check. Dropped a 26-point, 8-for-10 bomb on the Warriors? As of last night, check....

Kevin Durant Is Absurd

The Toronto Raptors beat the Golden State Warriors in overtime Thursday night by the score of 131–128. The matchup lost some of its potential juice due to the absence of Steph Curry and Draymond Green, but the basketball itself was terrific. Kawhi Leonard was great. Pascal Siakam was great. Even Ser...

Dammit, Durant

Stephen Curry has missed the last 10 Warriors games with a groin injury. Draymond Green has missed nine of the last 11 Warriors games. The Warriors have looked mostly like crap over that stretch, with losses at home to the Bucks and Thunder, and road losses in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and to th...

Seriously, How The Fuck Did Anyone Let Chuck Liddell Fight On Saturday Night?

Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar De La Hoya’s outfit, promoted its first mixed martial arts event on Saturday night at the Los Angeles Forum. It was built more like a boxing card than a traditional MMA one, with the main event getting almost the entire focus and the co-feature getting a polite bit of l...

Kevin Durant Has Suggestion For Heckler: "Watch The Fucking Game And Shut The Fuck Up"

The Warriors, who might not be all that functional without Steph Curry to make them whir, went 0-3 on their Texas road trip last week. At some point early in Saturday’s 112-109 loss to the Mavericks, Kevin Durant walked up to the front row of fans, craned forward and attempted to shut up some heckle...
