The Warriors Had Another Weird One, And Now It's Time To Read Steve Kerr's Lips
The Warriors added to a very odd and possibly concerning stretch of games last night with a 115-111 loss to the Phoenix Suns, who really stink. This loss followed a 122-105 demolition of the Nuggets on Friday night that was supposed to signal a return to form, as it was preceded by an embarrassing 3...
Steve Kerr Goes Fucking Ballistic At The Climax Of A Warriors Meltdown
In the fourth quarter of Wednesday night’s Warriors-Trail Blazers game, referee Kenny Mauer went to the replay monitor to check a hard foul from Draymond Green on a cutting Zach Collins. The game had already gotten chippy, after a huge Collins chase-down block at the other end seemed to unsettle the...
The Warriors Coaching Staff Is Heartbroken About Missing The All-Star Game
The Warriors coaching staff has worked two All-Star Games in their run of dominating the league, and that apparently that’s enough. Or maybe they just really don’t want to spend a weekend in Charlotte. (Either way, who can blame them?) After beating the Lakers last night, though, the coaches’ midsea...
Track Coach Says Thousand Oaks Shooter Assaulted Her In High School
On Thursday morning, Ian David Long walked into a bar in Thousand Oaks, Calif., and killed 12 people with a handgun and injured dozens more before turning the gun on himself. To the surprise of absolutely no one, interviews with those who knew Long describe a highly disturbed person, especially afte...
The Warriors Are Basically Renting A Rehabbing DeMarcus Cousins For Extra Motivation
Wednesday night, after his Pelicans lost to the Warriors, Anthony Davis said he’d like to see DeMarcus Cousins return to the Pelicans in free agency. That seems like it might be a long shot—apart from New Orleans’s looming salary crunch, there’s the matter of Cousins playing for one of the NBA’s all...
Klay Thompson Knows How To Break A Slump
Before last night, Klay Thompson was 5-of-36 from deep on the season. Five three-pointers in 232 minutes, over six games, averages out to about one three every 46 minutes. In Monday night’s beatdown of the Chicago Bulls, Thompson shot 14-24 from beyond the arc in 27 minutes, making that one three-po...
Steve Kerr Says "I Don't Want To Be Here," Gets Ejected, Waves Goodbye
The Warriors left Klay Thompson and Draymond Green out of Monday’s preseason game against the Suns. Who cares! No team maybe ever has had any less use for the preseason than the 2018-2019 Golden State Warriors. Steve Kerr knows this. Watch him thank the referees for hitting him with technical fouls ...
Steve Kerr And Phil Jackson Talk About Managing Player Egos And Baking Bread
The California Sunday Magazine has published an interview with Warriors coach Steve Kerr and his old coach Phil Jackson. The two ring wearers discussed the art of coaching, including the importance of mindfulness (a lesson Carmelo Anthony certainly internalized, along with a warm glass of milk). Ker...
The NBA Shouldn't Get Credit Just For Not Being The NFL
Ahead of his team’s Game 5 matchup with the Rockets tonight, Warriors coach Steve Kerr took time to blast the NFL for its new rule banning players from kneeling during the national anthem. Kerr called the policy, which compels all NFL players to stand for the anthem or stay in the locker room while ...
The Warriors Revved Up And Beat The Pelicans At Their Own Game
There was a short period during the first quarter of Saturday’s Game 1 between the Pelicans and the Warriors when it looked like the Warriors were a little flustered by New Orleans’s frenetic pace. That five-game first-round series with the Spurs was downright sluggish, by Warriors standards: at 95....
Steve Kerr After Warriors Squelched By Pacers: "It's Hard To Win An NBA Game If You Don't Put Forth An Effort At All"
The Pacers beat the Warriors for the second time in as many weeks tonight, and this time, it wasn’t close. For last week’s loss, at least, Golden State could claim that they were shorthanded—with Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry all sidelined. But all of those guys excep...
Steph Curry Will Miss At Least The Start Of The Playoffs
Steph Curry’s knee injury could have been much, much worse, which is just about the only good thing you can say for the Warriors. It was diagnosed as a Grade 2 MCL sprain, and we won’t see Curry again in the regular season and for at least part of the playoffs. “There’s no way” he returns earlier th...
Dancing Klay Is Back, Dancing A Little Too Hard At Steph Curry's Birthday Party<em></em>
Remember when Klay Thompson put his dance moves on display in China over the summer? Well, he was at it again at Steph Curry’s birthday party last night. At one point, Thompson appeared to be wearing only socks, which might have helped him with some of his moves but likely was also a contributing fa...
Steve Kerr's Good NBA Draft Idea: Let Undrafted Players Return To Their Teams
Current NCAA regulations forbid any player who declares for the NBA draft and signs with an agent to return to his college team, even if he goes undrafted. It’s a particularly cruel facet of an already exploitative system, and a rule that’s explicitly designed to keep players within the bounds of th...
Steve Kerr Says Teens Demanding Gun Control Are "Heroic"
Reporters have quickly learned that it’s worth asking Warriors head coach Steve Kerr about politics, because he’s usually got something to say, and when he does it’s almost always worth hearing. Last week Kerr was blunt in blaming the government for inactivity on gun control that inevitably leads to...
Steve Kerr: "It Doesn't Seem To Matter To Our Government That Children Are Being Shot To Death"
Steve Kerr—never one to shy away from expressing his takes on politics and gun control in particular—was asked about the horrifying school shooting in Broward County, Florida before tonight’s game against the Blazers. A subdued Kerr called for Americans who are also fed the hell up with the NRA’s in...
Steve Kerr Let His Players Coach The Game And It Worked
Okay, yes, maybe he gets points deducted for pulling this move during a game against the pitiful Suns, but Warriors head coach Steve Kerr did something genuinely cool and unexpected last night: he let his players run every timeout huddle. The Warriors won 129-83....
Steve Kerr Accidentally Sent A Tweet Criticizing The NBA Because He Was Foiled By Technology
Last night, Warriors coach Steve Kerr replied to an NBA tweet that featured a video of James Harden hitting a three-pointer (and appearing to travel, though the egregious gather move is technically legal). He deleted his take within seconds, but that was far too late....
Steve Kerr On LaVar Ball Coverage: "If You Package That Irrational Nonsense With Glitter And Some Ribbon, People Are Going To Watch"
If you found Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle’s assessment of ESPN’s LaVar Ball coverage today underwhelming—essentially, The network should not print his opinions because he dares to criticize a coach—then here is something more nuanced and persuasive on the topic, from Golden State Warriors head...
