Golden State Of Being: Ugly Win a Beautiful Thing For Warriors and Their Fans

0 comments by

The Golden State Warriors played a sloppy, disjointed, foul-filled, injury-affected game Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets, but there was one phase of the game that they nailed. Defensively, they never allowed the Rockets to breathe, and because of that they’re on their way to the NBA Finals for the first time in 40 years. […]

Rockets remain alive, as Irresistible Force Meets Moveable Object

When Peyton Manning was on the free agent market a few years ago, several teams were interested. After all, he represented an upgrade at the most important position for just about any team in the league. One of those teams, however, needed Peyton Manning more than any other team. Broncos general manager John Elway had […]

Warriors Adjust, Shift Gears, Smoke Rockets

There’s going to be a common theme in coverage of Game 3 of the Western Conference finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets: Steph Curry is __________. A thesaurus full of words will fill that blank, and every single one will be true. But that’s not what happened Saturday night. Steph Curry wasn’t better […]

Warriors a shaky 2-0 vs. the Rockets

0 comments by on 5/22/2015

The Golden State Warriors did something over the last three days that I didn’t think was possible: They won the first two games of their Western Conference Final series against Houston without giving their fans any confidence whatsoever that they will win the series. Okay, maybe that’s a little strong, but if the 19,000 maniacs […]

Warriors’ Team Concept is Houston’s Problem

0 comments by on 5/20/2015

Stopping the Golden State Warriors is a little like putting a sweater on an octopus. You’re always going to have a couple of tentacles unaccounted for. Last night it was Shaun Livingston who refused to go where the Houston Rockets wanted him to. He scored 16 first-half points, more than he had ever scored in […]

Memphis Series Was Harrison Barnes’ Coming-Out Party

The Golden State Warriors will go as far as Steph Curry will carry them. That is inarguable. That being said and agreed to, how far that will be depends rather dramatically on how well his teammates play. If you don’t believe me, sit down for a chat with Curry’s predecessor, Rick Barry. The star of […]

Curry Over Harden: Game 6s Show MVP Voters Got It Right

0 comments by on 5/16/2015

Two teams playing Game 6s on the road, one trying to extend its season, one trying to close out a series. Two men who just a month ago were the subjects of the NBA’s heated MVP debate, facing the challenge of leading their teams to victory. Two third quarters that went in opposite directions. Steph […]

Tony Allen Might Be the Difference for Memphis

Well, it seems that plans are underway again for the coronation of the Golden State Warriors, an event that seemed inevitable two weeks ago, then looked impossible a week ago. Two consecutive wins and the return of the 3-pointer have calmed the faithful, to the point where again, it seems inconceivable that they could lose […]

Steve Kerr Channels His Inner Bruce Bochy, And A Series Changes

0 comments by on 5/12/2015

Here in the Bay Area, we have had the opportunity to watch the San Francisco Giants win three World Series championships in the last five years. Entire books are being written about those teams and the reasons for their success, and they are numerous. One consistent thing, however, trumps everything else when considering how the […]
