The Golden State Warriors lost to the New Orleans Pelicans 114-109 on Friday night. It was a very tough loss considering the implications it had on the standings — with a win, the Dubs would have controlled their fate, and been in position to earn the No. 8 seed in the Play-In Tournament with a win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday. Instead, they couldn’t overcome their turnover issues — or the Pelicans’ unbelievable three-point shooting — and their fourth-quarter comeback fell just short. I don’t...
Let’s go back to the summer of 2019, a more innocent time in our nation’s history. None of us knew what a KN95 mask was. White collar workers actually traveled for business rather than spending all day having to mute a Zoom mic anytime they had to fart. Donald Trump was a gentle, widely beloved president rather than the half-assed orchestrator of a failed revolution. And the Golden State Warriors were still really good. I was in Oakland that June, hanging around the Lake Chalet to profile...
The Golden State Warriors host the New Orleans Pelicans tonight, in a game that has massive Play-In Tournament implications. Both teams are playing very well: the Dubs have won nine of their last 10 games, and the Pels have won three in a row, all on the road. But both teams played grueling games last night, and could be without a few key contributors. Whoever wins is going to have to dig deep to make it happen. Here’s the full injury report. Doubtful — Gary Payton II (left calf tightness) The...

Just two years removed from their last NBA championship title, the Golden State Warriors have missed the playoffs. This is now the third time in the last five years that the Warriors have not made the postseason, with the team failing to qualify after losing to the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the play-in tournament.Frankly, it wasn't even close. While the Warriors had a shot thanks to qualifying for the play-in tournament, they were routed 118-94 by the Kings. Klay Thompson failed to...
There wasn’t any seed-stealing for the Golden State Warriors in Sunday’s regular-season finale. But there was a major heist between teammates, courtesy of Klay Thompson. Thompson snatched the NBA’s free-throw title from Steph Curry on the season’s final day, thanks to a perfect 5-for-5 performance at the charity stripe. With those baskets, Thompson finished the season with a 92.7% free-throw percentage, edging ahead of Curry’s 92.3%. As one Redditor pointed out, Thompson didn’t even qualify for...
Stephen Curry and Draymond Green didn’t play for the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center on Sunday during their 123-116 victory over the Utah Jazz in their regular-season finale. A far more important game looms Tuesday for which their best will be all but required. The Warriors rolled past the Jazz to secure the Western Conference’s No. 10 seed without Curry and Green, who were scratched pregame with minor ailments to better prepare for their Tuesday matchup with the ninth-seeded Sacramento...
The Sacramento Kings are still alive. Led by huge performances from Keegan Murray (32 points, nine rebounds, 8-of-13 from three) and De'Aaron Fox (24 points,
