Historically great NBA teams tend to downplay being historically great or having a shot to be historically great. Not the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors.

You’ve wondered why it’s taken the Suns so damn long to sell off Markieff Morris. You’ve pondered the meaning of life whenever the Spurs or Warriors take the floor. You’ve lamented [...]

The reigning NBA champion, historically good Golden State Warriors are back. Because, apparently, they left. Which is effing absurd. Draymond Green offered some pointed words following the Warriors’ shellacking of the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night that should terrify the rest of the NBA.
