Playing Portland could help the Warriors against the Thunder

0 comments by on 5/16/2016

Playing Portland — it could have been viewed as the easier path for the Golden State Warriors when the 2016 NBA Playoffs began. Yes, a date with the Trail Blazers ceased to be the easier path when Chris Paul and Blake Griffin both went down, but even then, the reigning NBA champions did not figure […]

The Warriors win without Curry, and may need to do it again

0 comments by on 4/19/2016

As the 2016 Golden State Warriors’ season unfolded, the optimism always had one caveat. A significant injury to Steph Curry would mean all bets were off. Any other injury, even one as damaging as the ankle sprain that cost Andre Iguodala 17 games late in the season, could be dealt with. Take Curry off the […]

Golden State of concern: Steph Curry’s ankle is the most important joint in Oakland

0 comments by on 4/18/2016

The first weekend of the first round of the NBA playoffs was so awful that a mildly tweaked ankle is one of the biggest stories out there. Of course, the fact that the ankle is connected to the rest of Steph Curry by surgically repaired tissue does raise the stakes a little bit. I was asked […]

Steve Kerr is going to get hosed in the Coach of the Year vote — again

0 comments by on 4/12/2016

Steve Kerr could become a Jeopardy! clue later this spring: “This man won 140 games in back-to-back NBA seasons and didn’t win a Coach of the Year Award.” Absurd, right? It could happen. This is the time of the year when NBA people discuss end-of-season awards. The playoff teams are almost all identified, but the […]

Why the Warriors can’t rest players the way the Spurs can

0 comments by on 4/1/2016

You can’t consume sports media these days without hearing vociferous debate on whether Steve Kerr should rest his Golden State Warriors starters rather than go after the NBA record for wins in a season. The irony is that for those of us who actually watch all the games, it’s a moot point. Kerr couldn’t rest […]

Golden State owns the big picture, but San Antonio has reasons for optimism

0 comments by on 3/20/2016

The Golden State Warriors really can’t feel too bad about life on Sunday, as they settle in Minneapolis before Monday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Sure, the Warriors lost to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night. A game that was winnable in the final few minutes slipped away. Just a few accurate jump […]

The fine lines for the Spurs and Clippers could still cut in different directions

0 comments by on 3/16/2016

For the San Antonio Spurs, it’s hard to be troubled by anyone or anything other than the Golden State Warriors right now. The Spurs have just dispatched the Oklahoma City Thunder and, more recently, the Los Angeles Clippers. More precisely, they’ve dominated the fourth quarter in each home game over the past five days. They […]

Danny Green Takes The Andre Iguodala Path

0 comments by on 7/1/2015

If you’re good enough to be a main-rotation player in any professional team sport, you might arrive at one of the most defining intersections of your life: the place where personal aspiration and personal security cross paths. It’s true that pro athletes make a heckuva lotta money compared to the rest of us, but given […]
