Both Draymond Green and AT&T know how much the Golden State Warriors defensive standout’s on-court decisions affected his team this season—and they’re not afraid to say it. Since coming to the Warriors from Michigan State in 2012, Green and longtime teammates Steph Curry and Klay Thompson have won four titles together. Green also has become a generation’s defensive template, being named to the NBA’s All-Defensive Team eight times in his career. Unfortunately, like great defensive players...
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...

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...
The Golden State Warriors are getting ready to face the Portland Trail Blazers in a very important Thursday night game. To an extent, the Warriors control their own fate right now — if they win out, they’ll jump at least the Los Angeles Lakers in the standings. So needless to say, a victory in their final road game of the regular season is very important. But it won’t be easy, as the Warriors are down a pair of starters. In between Tuesday’s win and Thursday afternoon, Draymond Green and Klay...
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...
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,...
Already eliminated from the playoffs and podcasting, Draymond Green has no faith in the Knicks.
