After losing Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals to the Oklahoma City Thunder, forfeiting home-court advantage in the process, the Golden State Warriors could be discouraged and down on themselves. But then they wouldn’t be the Golden State Warriors. Draymond Green, in fact, is almost happy that the Warriors are here, trailing 1-0, their [...]
Draymond Green has learned a valuable lesson. Don’t snapchat and speed. Hopefully, though, he learned a more valuable lesson. Don’t snapchat while driving, period. Green snapchatted a video of himself driving 118 miles per hour in his BMW. That, needless to say, is illegal and reckless. And, per the Bay Area News Group’s Diamond Leung, [...]

It didn’t take long for people to start talking about them surpassing the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ record of 72 wins. The Warriors won 67 tilts last year, were talking about winning [...]

Cover your ears, Draymond Green! Steve Kerr only just returned to the Golden State Warriors’ sideline and is already setting the stage for an old-school, behind-the-scenes fisticuffs battle between he and Green. Why exactly?

Four Western Conference frontcourt players received more votes than Draymond Green and Blake Griffin. Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and, naturally, Zaza Pachulia. WUT. It’s true.
