Kevon Looney also provided a spark off the bench with three offensive rebounds, Draymond Green facilitated the offense and Klay Thompson started out strong as well after sub par game four. The only issue Stephen Curry started slowly and managed
The Golden State Warriors blew an opportunity to take a commanding 3-0 series lead over the Houston Rockets. Will now instead look for a split on the road. James Harden coming off the eye injury played superbly. Even when on the bench, Chis Paul and the Houston Rockets bench took it to the Warriors late in the first quarter and to begin the second quarter. Building the lead to nine.
Game one of the 2019 playoffs between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets went down to the wire. Yet, not without controversy. The Rockets were not happy with a number of non-calls specifically on three-point attempts by Chris Paul and James Harden. It appeared that the Warriors defender did not give enough space to land. Replays showed a much different story. It was Paul and Harden jumping in or
The Golden State Warriors on Friday night took care of business something that didn't happen in game two when the Los Angeles Clippers rallied from a 31 point deficit and for looking ahead in game five. Kevin Durant came out on fire in the first half scoring 38 points and ending with 50 he also added six rebounds and five assists. Draymond Green provided the energy and the tone defensively
So what is the Golden State Warriors truest weapon? Curry. Durant. Klay. Draymond. Boogie. Five all-stars in one starting set? How about at times they seem off, and at times they are on.

The Western Conference has seen many upper echelon teams in decades past. The “Showtime” Lakers, the “Clutch City” Rockets and of course Gregg Popovich’s Spurs. Nowadays, there is a new team that has emerged in the same conversation alongside these teams. The Western Conference supremacy runs through the Bay Area. Oakland to be exact. The Golden State Warriors are the best in the West. Again. The addition of Kevin Durant
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook has accused Golden State Warriors center Zaza Pachulia of being dirty. The incident in question refutes his take in which he says "obviously it was intentional. Nobody touched him, he fell over my leg. He tried to hurt me. But hey, that's how it goes." Westbrook claims no one touched Pachulia. Teammate Paul George has also made a similar statement. Here's the video.
At 44-14, four All-Stars in their starting lineup and perhaps the best basketball player in the world not named LeBron James in Kevin Durant, are the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors vulnerable. Hard to believe that such a question would dare be asked, let alone used in a blog headline such as this, but either the Warriors are on proverbial cruise control and are just disinterested, or has the
