Hoops Hype
There’s no question that the Golden State Warriors were the big winners of the NBA offseason. Not only did the defending champions re-sign their core of Kevin Durant, Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston, Zaza Pachulia and David West, they also added new contributors such as Nick Young, Omri Casspi and Jordan Bell. It’s admittedly hard to imagine a team other than the Warriors hoisting the Larry O’Brien trophy next June, especially since the Cleveland Cavaliers failed to make a big acquisition and are now dealing with Kyrie Irving’s trade request. Still, this was a very active and...

Why the Warriors invested in shooting
The Warriors already boast three of the greatest shooters of all time. Why did they decide to upgrade their bench shooting with their limited resources? Around the league, the Golden State Warriors are perhaps known best for their amazing shooting. Their starting backcourt, dubbed the “Splash Brothers,” features Stephen Curry, probably the best shooter of all time, and Klay Thompson, who is not far behind. When Kevin Durant decided to join the Splash Brothers last summer, the Warriors added another one of the league’s best shooters. A career 38% three-point shooter (though on a high...

Season Review, Part 2: Supervillain silliness, ‘frenetic’ first game, road trip to Hell, dancing cupcakes, trip-and-fall fallout ... and the CHP?
By handling the season’s controversies with wisdom, humor, grace and style, Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr and Assistant Coach Mike Brown demonstrated that cooler heads prevail. It only took Mark Cuban opening his big mouth to call Kevin Durant a “villain” to ignite the worst in Oklahoma City Thunder fans and a talking head, like Stephen A. Smith, who used Durant’s decision to justify his personal beef against the player. All of this, before the new-look Warriors had played their first game, and the season only became more “interesting” from there. Here’s a look at the...

Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Bob Meyers and Warriors’ staff got the road win against the San Quentin Warriors.

Kyrie Irving reportedly demands trade: Cavaliers “fracturing”
This, uh, can’t be good for an already reeling Cavaliers team. Since coming up short against Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and the rest of the Golden State Warriors in the 2017 NBA Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been on a tear, aggressively pursuing each and every free agent. Led by top-tier NBA GM David Griffin, they’ve showed themselves to be the creme-de-la-creme when it comes to picking up the pieces and moving on from a potentially crippling loss on the world’s biggest stage. LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love — their three most important players — remain...

Cut the B.S., ESPN: Your lack of WNBA coverage is the problem
NBA greats like Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant repeatedly express vocal support for the WNBA. It’s too bad the same cannot be said for the so-called “worldwide leader in sports.” In a recent espnW article, Sean Hurd claimed that the appearance of Lonzo Ball on the basketball scene, and the increasing popularity of the NBA Summer League, will further challenge the WNBA’s ability to sustain an audience. Hurd’s solutions to this conundrum are for the WNBA to: 1) “create more drama around its players and teams;” and 2) “create robust rivalries.” Hurd’s...
