Golden State Warriors

By jae Golden State Warriors' Monta Ellis receives advice from former Warrior Stephen Jackson on how to get out of town. "First, you get the contract. You've got that part taken care of, so that's good. Now you whine, and complain that you deserve to play for a winner, that you were promised somethin...

By cinman@bayareanewsgroup.com (Cam Inman / Oakland Tribune columnist) We boo-lieve. That about sums up the East Bay's pro sports scene. At this rate of fan frustration, the region is rapidly becoming Philadelphia West.The latest object of disaffection: Stephen Jackson, former activist in the Warriors' 2007 "We Believe" playoff run.

By Adam Lauridsen Stephen Jackson returns to the Bay, Don Nelson potentially out with a bad back, and Larry Ellison still longing for a hostile takeover.  Drama, drama, drama — and a likely loss to the streaking Bobcats.  Just another Friday night of Warriors basketball.

By jae Charlotte Bobcats vs. Golden State Warriors 7:30pm - Oracle Arena in Oakland Radio: KNBR 680 Jackson said he fully expects to be booed Friday night when he hits the Oracle Arena floor, the place where in 2007 he helped the Warriors break a 12-season drought without a playoff berth.

By rsimmons@sfchronicle.com (Rusty Simmons) Coach Don Nelson had to skip the Warriors' shoot-around Friday with back spasms, and he could miss the game against Charlotte. The team is not expected to make an announcement until about 6 p.m. Nelson injured his back Thursday morning and hobbled through practice later that day. If he can't c...

By Hadarii Jones I find it ironic that the play which promotes Golden State Warriors' rookie Stephen Curry on the scoreboard at Oracle Arena is a no-look, behind the back pass for an assist, rather than his signature jump shot. But it was his poise and calm demeanor which was impressive and it is those qualit...

By dan german With another Golden State loss secured and Chris Paul safely on the bench, our beloved Warriors Update crew cried uncle and left Oracle Arena. It was another meaningless fourth quarter for an irrelevant team, out of the playoff picture 44 games into the season.

By Adam Lauridsen Wednesday night the on-the-playoff-bubble New Orleans Hornets came to Oakland, and efficiently buried the Warriors.  They didn’t overwhelm the Warriors suddenly or barely eek by them at the buzzer.  They instituted a game plan, stuck with it consistently, and very deliberately built...

By Feltbot The Kings are -6.5 home favorites in this game.  I have been throwing my hands up in bewilderment at the Warriors' lines recently.  I'm just reluctant to guess with the lineup in such flux, and so few warm bodies available.  If, however, you had been willing to bet on this courageous Warriors te...

By Feltbot I guess what I'm saying is that no matter what fresh hell the Warriors encounter this 13-28 season, there continues to something fascinating to watch about them. No Monta Ellis? Ok, I'll watch Stephen Curry take another step towards greatness. I'll watch Corey Maggette continue to confou...

By Poor Man's Commish At the 1:21 mark of the 2nd quarter and the Warriors up by 9 on the Nets, Monta Ellis hobbled into the frontcourt and asked Don Nelson to take a timeout, then proceeded immediately to the locker room. He did not return, ending his totals at just 2-for-9 from the field for 4 points, albeit with 5 a...

By Poor Man's Commish Tip-Off: 7:30 TV: CSN Bay Area Radio: KNBR 680 Blog Buddy: Nets Daily The New Jersey Nets still haven't won a game in calendar year 2010, and that shouldn't change after tonight. I harken back to when BJ Armstrong was a Warrior: "We are a bad team." That's the Nyets this year.

By Steven Resnick Now let's examine Ellis's numbers for the season he's averaging 26.7 points per game, 5.5 assists per game, 4.3 rebounds per game, 2.2 steals per game, 4.2 turnovers per game, while shooting 46.2 percent from the field, 31.3 percent from beyond the arc, and 75.6 percent from the free throw line.

By Ziller Jon Brockman played 12-1/2 minutes in the first half. The Kings were +9. He played 4 minutes in the second half. The Kings, leading, played the Warriors even. (As in, Brockman started the third quarter with the Kings up 15. When he left the game 4 minutes in, the Kings were up 15.) Of course, once Bro...

By Adam Lauridsen Down by 10 to start the fourth quarter Friday, the Warriors had their work cut out for them.  Anthony Randolph had gone down to an ugly ankle injury earlier in the evening, Chris Hunter and Vladimir Radmanovic had given them next to nothing in his place, and the Kings looked poised to bang and...

By jae So some Curry spiced with a bit more C.J. Watson, at least until his shooting cools, is in order. Still not the most exciting way to avoid catastrophe, and hardly something to feed our psychotic visions of success sometime in the future. For that, we still have to turn to the off-season's savior...

By Adam Lauridsen John Wooden once observed that “things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out.”  For the Warriors, things have turned out far from how they planned in this young season.  Down to six healthy bodies (assuming Bell and Radmanovic can’t suit up in Cleveland), the te...

By Ziller KINGS TALK These previews tend to caught up in talk of the opponent, so let's spare a minute for our protagonists. The Kings are, unbelievably, up to No. 7 in offense after Sunday's win. Playing bad defenses like Memphis, Golden State and Utah has something to do with that, sure. But the fact tha...

By Atma Brother ONE I'd be willing to pretty much trade anyone not named Rudolph, Moped, or Andris to bring Butler to the Bay. I'm a sucker for some irrational Anthony Randolph hype right now and I don't see that stopping till opening night when the Warriors lose by 20. I'd be perfectly happy to see Ellis shipped o...

By Adam Lauridsen Thursday afternoon the Warriors held a phone conference with season ticket holders, finally putting Robert Rowell in a position to hear what at least a few fans really thought.  It was not “no holds barred” by any means, but Rowell and new GM Larry Riley were confronted with a few tough ques...

By Adam Lauridsen First the caveats: the Celtics looked worn out.  The loss to the Lakers on Christmas day obviously took a lot out of them and broke their momentum.  Likewise, the Warriors got a boost in the form of a more rested and healthy Jackson.  Given Nelson’s pre-injury rotations, we’re unlikely to see...

If you haven't seen this yet, you have to watch the highlights of Miami's 130-129 OT win over the Warriors. Dwyane Wade was the hero, but Michael Beasley, Udonis Haslem, and Chris Quinn all made HUGE game-saving plays. Jamal Crawford scored 40. The Warriors -- in a real funk now -- made all kind...

By Adam Lauridsen We get a point guard who can drive and kick, shooting guards who can shoot, Jackson anchoring things at small forward, Randolph cleaning glass, blocking shots, and pushing the ball at four, and Biedrins doing what he does best at center.  Our bench is more than able, so we should be able to ke...

By Atma Brother ONE Thanks to Nellie, Ralph Barbieri and Tom Tolbert for the best 30 minutes on a Thursday afternoon you could ever ask for. We laughed, we cried, etc., etc. Can't wait till next season (Cohan- open the wallet and give this good man a raise!) and the return of The Don Nelson show!

Probable starters for Golden State are Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, Andris Biedrins, Baron Davis and Monta Ellis ESPN senior writer Lester Munson, a Chicago attorney and journalist, says Howard Schultz plans to file a lawsuit against Clay Bennett to get the team back is a long shot.

By Atma Brother ONE Nellie was saying the other day on The Don Nelson show on KNBR that he doesn't think the Warriors were as good as their 19-7 record (as of Thursday).

By David Friedman Anyone who visits this site regularly knows that I have repeatedly insisted (most recently in this post) that teams should not be afraid to run against the Golden State Warriors and that the Dallas Mavericks could have avoided their upset loss to the Warriors in last year's playoffs if the Mavericks had pushed the ball up the court instead of trying to slow the game down. These truths were once against confirmed in Dallas' 121-99 win over Golden State on Wednesday night. Dirk Nowitzki scored a game-high 29 points on 9-16 shooting, adding eight rebounds, six assists and three blocked shots. Nowitzki had a game-high plus/minus rating of +25. Five other Mavericks also scored in double figures, including Josh Howard, who had 19 points and a gam...   [read the full post]
