Warriors vs. Nets: Cook, Jerebko get first starts of the season
The Warriors will face the Nets tonight without two of their Big Four, Steph Curry and Draymond Green. With Draymond Green out for the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Brooklyn Nets tonight, it wasn’t exactly obvious who would start in his place. Starting in Green’s place on Thursday night against the Milwaukee Bucks, Jordan Bell was a foul magnet early on. Even though Mark Medina of the Bay Area News Group reported that Warriors coach Steve Kerr doesn’t want to place the blame on Bell — which makes a lot of sense — he also understands that Bell is simply better suited...

Warrior Wonder: Draymond Green is irreplaceable
Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant do some damage - but not enough to make up for the absence of the heart of our defense Against a tough opponent, there are only a couple of viable alternatives when Green is out The length of this Milwaukee Bucks team is something that the Warriors have always struggled a bit with over the past couple of years. It’s not just that they disrupt passing lanes (which they do) - Milwaukee’s long-limbed defenders make everything harder. Some are getting on coach Steve Kerr’s case for making the decision to start Jordan Bell alongside Damian Jones, but I think we...

Warriors vs. Bucks: Jordan Bell will get his first start of the season!
Jordan Bell will reportedly get the start tonight with Draymond Green out due to an injury. Jordan Bell will start for the Golden State Warriors against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight because Draymond Green is out with a toe sprain, as widely reported yesterday.

The promise he showed in his rookie year led some to wonder if he’d end up being the starter this year, but Damian Jones’ somewhat surprising emergence as a viable option has prevented that. #Warriors forward Jordan...

Is Jordan Bell in the doghouse?
The ultra-talented Jordan Bell has barely played so far this season. What’s happening? Jordan Bell was considered a steal of the draft in 2017—acquired only for cash considerations—and impressed with a promising if inconsistent rookie season. Undersized for a big man, his elite athleticism, defensive instincts, and endless energy bode well for the future. Despite the jaw-dropping dunks, weakside blocks, and impressive perimeter defense, injuries and rookie mistakes hampered his rotation minutes last year. Ankle problems disrupted his game-to-game flow, and his dumb fouls cost him...
