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...
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...
No one enjoyed the postseason downfall of the Warriors on Tuesday night more than Phoenix Suns big man Jusuf Nurkic. Nurkic was flagrantly hit in the head by Draymond Green on on Dec. 12, 2023, at Footprint Center in Phoenix — leading to an ejection and eventual indefinite suspension for Green that required him getting counseling before he could return to the court — and then continued to feud off the court online throughout the season after Green returned from suspension in the middle of...
The Warriors have a chance to move into the 8-seed for the play-in tournament, but with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green sitting out against the Utah Jazz to rest, it appears Golden State is preparing to move forward as the 9- or 10-seed.
The Golden State Warriors' 2023-24 season ended sooner than many in the organization are used to.The Warriors, whose season officially came to a close on Tuesday during their 118-94 Play-In Tournament loss to the Sacramento Kings, aren't exactly accustomed to being off in April.The Warriors haven't been the same dynasty of the National Basketball Association since the mid-2010s, as they've won four NBA Finals while appearing in six of them in the last decade. The Warriors have also made the...

We could have witnessed the last game of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green playing together on the same team. The NBA's most dangerous trio could have reached its end. The Warriors have been eliminated from the NBA playoffs after losing to the Sacramento Kings in a crucial play-in game. All those moments of glory, relentless battles with LeBron James, championship rings, extraordinary records, could have come to an end. The...
Even those closest to the Golden State Warriors are confused by how the play-in works — and explaining it almost made Draymond Green late to practice. On his eponymous podcast, Green started his Monday episode with a preview of Tuesday’s Warriors-Kings matchup by explaining the play-in situation. He included a conversation he had with his mother-in-law Monday to illustrate how complicated the whole thing is: “I had a conversation with her that almost made me late for practice today,” Green said,...
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...
Jusuf Nurkić got the last laugh in his rivalry with Draymond Green this season. The Phoenix Suns center trolled Green after the Golden State Warriors' Play-in
