Golden State Of Mind

Photo by Tim Heitman/ Kuminga is turning into one heck of two-way wing. With less than 30 seconds to go in the fourth quarter of an important regular-season game, the Golden State Warriors — up by only a single point against the Dallas Mavericks — went to good ol’ Steph Curry ball-screen action to hopefully get him an efficient look. But before we get to that, let’s rewind a bit to see how the play above was a culmination of how the Mavericks were burned by Curry in ball-screen action — particularly with Jonathan Kuminga as Curry’s screening partner. Kuminga...

The Golden State Warriors gritted out perhaps their biggest win of the year on Wednesday, beating the Dallas Mavericks 127-125 to secure a two-game road winning streak for just the second time all year. Dallas intends to protest the result after a bizarre miscommunication led to the Warriors having an uncontested inbounds in the third quarter, but that protest is likely to fail. In all likelihood, you can put this win in the books. It’s huge...

Photo by Tim Heitman/ The odds of the protest being upheld by the league aren’t in their favor. Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Dallas Mavericks are set to file a formal protest of their loss to the Golden State Warriors. According to a tweet by Mavs’ owner Mark Cuban, the officials changed a call during a timeout that was initially supposed to be Mavs ball due to a ball that went out-of-bounds that was touched by Kevon Looney. The call was initially in favor of the Warriors, but was changed by the official to go the other way prior to the timeout. Per...

Photo by Tim Heitman/ The Dubs just won back-to-back road games! The Golden State Warriors have won two consecutive road games! Despite facing a Dallas Mavericks team that welcomed star wing Luka Dončić back to action after he had missed the past five games, the Dubs ended up on top in a 127-125 win. The Mavericks built a nine-point lead in the first quarter but were unable to cross the double-digit threshold. Luckily for the Warriors, Dallas’ defense has been one of the worst among postseason contenders. The Mavericks entered Wednesday with the 23rd-ranked defense...

In a Western Conference full of parity, only 3.5 games separate home-court advantage in round one from missing the play-in tournament entirely. Tonight, two teams try to find separation while two others try to close the gap in a big ESPN Wednesday night doubleheader. The Golden State Warriors try to win two straight road games for the first time this season and hold their precarious half-game...

Photo by Ron Jenkins/ Lots of notable names on the injury report. The Golden State Warriors are getting ready to visit the Dallas Mavericks in a contest that will cap off a five-game road trip. It’s a chance for the Dubs to find a little momentum, and put together a road winning streak for just the second time this season. More importantly, it’s a massive game in the standings. The Warriors are currently 37-36, occupying the sixth spot in the West, which is the final guaranteed playoff position. The Mavs are just a half-game back at 36-36, which places them at...

Photo by Ron Jenkins/ BIG ROAD GAME FOR THE CHAMPS! Why is the NBA forcing the reigning, defending champion Golden State Warriors to continue to play road games? Look, it’s clear the champs are dismal away from Chase Center: they have an 8-29 record. Why do we have to keep forcing this dynasty to play in front of thirsty opposing fans who know the most important game of the year is whenever Stephen Curry and the guys come to town? Oh that’s right, because the Warriors can only play 41 games at home every regular season. Wellp, good thing that the Dubs are coming off...

With a record of 37-36, the Warriors have a thin grasp on the sixth seed in the Western Conference standings. However, the challenge to will his team to the playoffs has inspired the competitive fire of four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry, while...

Photo by Josh Leung/NBAE via All-Star Wiggs is a key piece to GSW’s title hopes. I have no idea when Andrew Wiggins is coming back from his absence due to an undisclosed private matter. The reason why is so unknown, some of the oddest rumors have been spreading about it on the internet. I can’t speak on why he’s not with the team. But I can definitely tell you that in his absence, we see how much this All-Star’s journey from alleged bust to champion has been a major key to Golden State’s present and future hopes. Remember when they didn’t believe in...

Photo by Rocky Widner/NBAE via The Warriors starting front court will likely be intact against Dallas. The Golden State Warriors won their first road game in nearly two months on Monday, besting the Houston Rockets in a game that felt like a must-win. Now they’re heading some 250 miles north to take on the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, as they seek just their second road winning streak of the season. And there’s good news on that front. Two players who have been pretty banged up lately are likely to play in the game. Yes, the starting frontcourt of...

The Golden State Warriors just announced that Andre Iguodala, who suffered a fractured left wrist on March 13 against the Phoenix Suns, recently underwent successful surgery. Andre Iguodala injury update: pic.twitter.com/QULAnuTL3h— Warriors PR (@WarriorsPR) March 22, 2023 Since the re-evaluation will take place in four weeks, Iguodala is virtually done for the regular season, with his playoff availability still up in the air. Even though Iguodala is the second oldest player in the league at 39 years old,...

It was their first road victory since beating the Oklahoma City Thunder on Jan. 30 and although it wasn’t the most convincing win, it was a necessary one that they could not afford to lose. "Ironically, I thought this was the worst of the four games that we've played on this trip."Steve Kerr...

Photo by Logan Riely/NBAE via He had a solid floor game against the Rockets. Newsflash: The Golden State Warriors just won their first road game since a January 30 win against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Granted, this win was against a rebuilding Houston Rockets roster whose players are a mixture of legitimate but young NBA building blocks and players who are on the fringes (i.e., straddling the fine line between NBA-level and G League-level). But a win is a win, and the Warriors will take any morale boost they can get to power themselves through the regular season...
