Steve Kerr Burned Sean Spicer
Before his team took on the Magic in Orlando yesterday afternoon, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was introduced to the home crowd as a “former Orlando Magic star.” That was a curious way to describe Kerr, seeing as how he only ever played 47 games in Orlando, where he averaged 2.6 points per game. ...

Jermaine Jones Calls Tim Howard's Comments On USMNT Dual Nationals "Dangerous Stuff"
On Tuesday, USMNT goalkeeper Tim Howard questioned the passion of his dual-national teammates, in part blaming them and their lack of American-ness for the USMNT’s recent string of poor results. He tried walking back those comments by citing the strong play of dual-national teammates Jermaine Jones ...
Russell Westbrook Has No Time For The Warriors
The season’s second reunion between Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant did not make for a particularly close game, but it was still plenty entertaining. The Warriors beat the Thunder, 121-100, and Durant had 40 points on 16 shots. Westbrook had a triple double (a quadruple double if you count turnov...

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...
Should Have Stuck With The Old Elites
After decades of growing inequality, our presidential election was a violent revolt against The Elites. So who the hell is actually trying to remedy that inequality frustrating our nation? The elites!...
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 ...
Gordon Hayward And The Utah Jazz Are For Real
The Utah Jazz have been out on the fringes of the NBA for most of the decade. They haven’t made the playoffs since the lockout-shortened season of 2011-12 and the last time Utah had an all-star was Deron Williams in 2011. However, both short droughts are probably going to end this season, as the 24-...
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....
Boy, Ben Boulware Really Went To Town On That Thing
Clemson senior LB and Ben Boulware shared a moment—maybe a little longer than a moment—with the CFP trophy after Clemson’s thrilling win over Alabama. You can’t rush these things. Trophies need time to get warmed up, and it also helps if they’re relaxed, and comfortable, and are genuinely into you. ...

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...
