Green pounds his chest with his right fist and roars toward the rafters after big plays, mouth agape. Over all of the tough years and long odds, he has earned it and Jason Richardson loves seeing that display of emotion. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu)

Bogut Free Throws, Green 3-pointer Lift Warriors to Victory. Wait, what?

0 comments by on 3/3/2016

The reason I have been saying for a month or so now that I believe the Warriors will break the NBA record for wins rather easily was again exemplified at Oracle Arena Tuesday night. The Warriors win games they shouldn’t win. On Tuesday night they beat the Atlanta Hawks 109-105 in overtime. They accomplished this […]

Steph Curry, the Warriors’ wizard, makes magic again

0 comments by on 2/28/2016

After their victory in Orlando Thursday night, three members of the Golden State Warriors visited “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” at Universal Studios. With all due respect to J.K. Rowling’s magical character, you have to wonder why they bothered. In their midst resides an adolescent-looking wizard, one who can summon magic at will and […]

Handling the Heat: The Warriors show why they’ll reach 73 wins

0 comments by on 2/25/2016

The Golden State Warriors were “outed” Wednesday night… and it didn’t matter. I just finished watching the Warriors get out-worked, out-hustled, out-rebounded and generally out-played. Their opponent, the Miami Heat, was not a great team, but a very good one, featuring a vintage performance by future Hall-of-Famer Dwyane Wade. The Warriors won by six. Did […]

Do you really think the coach doesn’t matter in the NBA?

0 comments by on 1/28/2016

In the wake of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ firing of David Blatt, it’s become a sign of wisdom to question the value of coaching. The “thinking” is, if a coach can win 30 out of 41 games and get fired, then it doesn’t really matter who the coach is. Adding to fuel to that fire has […]

The Warriors are sending more messages than Western Union

0 comments by on 1/26/2016

One of the most overused cliches in sports, and in real life as well, is the “wake-up call.” Everything is a wake-up call these days. As much as I hate to say it, however, I have to admit that there’s just no other way to describe the way the Golden State Warriors have played since […]

The Warrior Effect: the Cavs are suddenly Spurs fans

0 comments by on 1/19/2016

There’s one thing we should know about the Golden State Warriors at this point. When you are just about ready to count them out, that’s when they are supremely dangerous. We saw that when they were down 2-1 in the Memphis series last year, and we saw it when they were down 2-1 to Cleveland […]

What Does it Take to Beat the Warriors?

Now that the Golden State Warriors have lost three games, we have a little bit of a sample size to work with, so that we can get a blueprint together for the rest of the NBA to follow. Ready? Okay. 1) Get them on the road All three of the Warriors’ losses have come away […]

Still Wondering if Steph Curry is the MVP?

0 comments by on 12/31/2015

For those who think that the Golden State Warriors are a collective, rather than a great player and a lot of good ones, I offer Wednesday night’s game against Dallas as evidence that you’re out of your minds. Okay, let’s get the caveats out of the way. 1) Stephen Curry wasn’t the only Warrior who […]

Warriors’ Validation is in the Eye of the Beholder

0 comments by on 12/27/2015

Reaction to the Golden State Warriors’ Christmas Day victory over Cleveland has affirmed a theory I’ve been developing as the NBA season hits the one-third pole. Perceptions of their greatness (or not) and validation of their 2015 championship (or not) depend largely on how much you’ve seen them play. I’m referring to actually SEEING them […]

The missed call that sunk the Warriors’ pursuit of NBA history

0 comments by on 12/15/2015

I knew the Golden State Warriors had to lose eventually, but my fervent wish was that it would be in a manner completely without controversy. Nothing would be worse than losing a chance at history — tying and possibly surpassing the 1972 Los Angeles Lakers’ 33-game winning streak — due to some random bounce, unless […]

The Warriors are entering the “Pushback Phase” of their successful arc

0 comments by on 12/10/2015

You know how you can tell when something has the attention of the American public? People start to knock it. Pushback finds its way into the conversation. This has started to happen with the Golden State Warriors, who have committed the cardinal sin of… well… I have no idea, but they’ve offended somebody. I have […]

Same Old Warriors, Thank Goodness

0 comments by on 10/29/2015

It wasn’t a long offseason for Warriors fans, but it was interesting. A steady diet of photos of the NBA Finals trophy from various parts of the world was interspersed with disparaging comments about the team, and then it was announced that Steve Kerr was going to be only peripherally involved for an indeterminate amount […]

Warriors Show Fans They’ve Got It, Thanks

Trust. It’s an important part of any relationship, whether between people, corporate partners, or a company and its customers. Falling into that last category would be the relationship between a sports team and the people who follow, care about, and ultimately fund the team. I’m sure there were basketball fans around the country who were […]
