Warriors

The NBA Finals needs a Game 6. For obvious reasons, a five-game series would suck. We want competitive sets. Getting to a Game 6 adds some mystery to the proceedings, even if, deep down, we know the Cleveland Cavaliers have no chance in hell of beating the Golden State Warriors after falling in a 3-0 [...]

LeBron James wouldn’t be alone if he thought the Golden State Warriors adding Kevin Durant was unfair. Plenty of people would be right there with him. And you can easily envision him being right there with them. His Cleveland Cavaliers are down 3-0 in the NBA Finals without a puncher’s chance in hell of coming [...]

While they may not have won 73 regular season games like last year and they don’t have Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson or Larry Bird on their team, the 2016-17 Golden State Warriors have been the most dominant team in NBA history and tonight they can complete the first perfect postseason in NBA history by sweeping [...]

LeBron James sounds resigned to the Golden State Warriors winning this year’s NBA title. And who can blame him? Golden State grabbed a 3-0 NBA Finals lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night with a thrilling victory on the road. Though the Cavaliers appeared in control for most of the second half, the Warriors [...]

Steve Kerr is a class act. During NBA Finals media availability ahead of Game 3 on Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors head honcho credited his predecessor, Mark Jackson, with turning this squad into a defensive juggernaut. Here’s what he said, via RealGM: “I didn’t. I didn’t. Mark Jackson did,” said Kerr when asked the question [...]

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are two games away from exacting revenge on the Cleveland Cavaliers for their NBA Finals comeback in 2016. One would assume this is how everyone in the Bay Area scripted the season: The Warriors reach the NBA Finals, face the Cavaliers and beat them. Those feelings no doubt [...]

This feels like a ridiculous, borderline disrespectful, question to ask. The Cleveland Cavaliers are reigning NBA champions. They have a firm hold on the Eastern Conference. Losing to the Golden State Warriors doesn’t change what they’ve done, or diminish their presence on the championship field. Counterpoint: LeBron James. No, this isn’t another “LeBron is the [...]

As we grow older we have a tendency to romanticize the past and view it through rose colored lenses as greater than it actually was. This is even heightened, it seems, when it comes to competition, especially in the sports realm. You can talk to old timers that were former greats in any professional sport [...]

Steve Kerr returned to the Golden State Warriors sidelines for Game 2 of the NBA Finals, and now that he’s back, he has no intention of going anywhere. Per the Bay Area News Group’s Anthony Slater: [tweet https://twitter.com/anthonyVslater/status/871491349425537026] This was always Kerr’s plan. He didn’t want to be a distraction, returning only to leave yet [...]

On the heels of the Golden State Warriors’ 113-91 romping of the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, LeBron James was asked what stood out about his foremost rival. His answer was simple. “KD.” [tweet https://twitter.com/SInow/status/870499700792623105] That’s the kind of night Kevin Durant had. He finished with 38 points, eight rebounds and [...]
