For a team that got better each year that Mark Jackson was the Head Coach there sure was a lot of animosity and weird stuff being leaked from the Warriors camp. Assistant coaches were fired left and right and apparently at some point, according to BleacherReport.com, Head Consultant and Hall of Famer Jerry West was [...]
Hopefully Stephen Curry enjoys surprises. The Los Angeles Clippers outlasted the Golden State Warriors Saturday night, won Game 7 and sent Mark Jackson’s squad home early. It happens. The Warriors advanced through to the second round as a sixth seed last season. They lost to a more talented Clippers faction this year. It just happens. [...]

Right about now, I imagine Mark Jackson is blushing. David Lee, too. Andre Iguodala and Andrew Bogut should also be giggling. Stephen Curry, injured or not, might be chuckling as well.

The Golden State Warriors continue to make an impression. Stephen Curry and his band of supposed misfits shocked the NBA sphere when they upset the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs and pushed the San Antonio Spurs to six games in the second. They now have our attention. And Dwight Howard’s too, [...]
