Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors finally fell back down to earth on Tuesday night, as the Chicago Bulls ended their 19-game home winning streak and handed them just their seventh loss of the season in a 113-11 overtime victory. Throughout the game both teams were neck and neck and clearly neither of them was letting this [...]

Holidays are marketable. Using annual happenings as inspiration for product is cool, and for the first time ever, Chinese New Year will be acknowledged by the NBA in the form of special Golden State Warriors uniforms. February 19th marks the beginning of the Year Of The Goat and the restart of the Chinese zodiac calendar. [...]

There’s something truly zany about the 2014-15 NBA season. It’s been weird. It’s still weird. It’s truly, utterly, completely, wholly, wonderfully, purely, perfectly zany. Allow me to offer up Exhibit A: These here power rankings. Collective movement is neither enormous nor insubstantial. There is virtually no change at the top. But then we get into the [...]

This season, Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal told USA Today that himself and Wall are, “definitely the best backcourt in the league.” But, after his dismissal from the Warriors, former Head Coach Mark Jackson called Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry the, “greatest shooting backcourt in the history of the game.” Since then, the question of [...]

Well it’s official: The NBA is a forest fire of craziness. To wit: A lot has happened since we last met. Kevin Garnett decided to head-hump Dwight Howard amid the Net’s demonstrative downturn; the Pistons decided to be an actual basketball team; the Knicks and Celtics let Sam Hinkie know they’re coming for his (pingpong) balls; [...]

Hello again. After a brief holiday respite, during which a crap ton of NBA-related things happened, The Hoop Doctors’ power rankings are back. We know it’s been tough, slogging through these last two weeks without the ability to incessantly check and read and cherish and tell your friends about updated power rankings. But the wait [...]

Andrew Bogut’s health continues to betray him. The big man has missed 65 games combined in each of the two previous seasons and has already missed five of the Golden State Warriors’ first 25 contests for 2014-15. And he’s going to miss more. How many more? We don’t know. From the Bay Area News Group’s [...]

Here’s to stability. Never before, in the year-plus since we’ve been doing these power rankings, has there been less movement within a week. Twelve teams are right where they were last week, which is pretty freaking incredible. That’s almost half the Association, and that never happens. And, somewhat surprisingly, it’s the league’s best teams that [...]

Back in the 2009 NBA draft, the Golden State Warriors drafted sharp-shooting guard Stephen Curry as the seventh overall pick. The next to draft after them were the New York Knicks, who were actually planning to draft Curry as well, but ended up with Jordan Hill as the eight overall pick. During that night, little [...]

Ever imagine Stephen Curry, the greatest shooter in NBA history, playing alongside Ray Allen, who used be the greatest shooter in NBA history? Me too. I may or may not have tried such a pairing in NBA 2k for an entire dynasty. There was just something about the triumvirate of Curry, Allen and Klay Thompson that [...]
