Warriors

The two losses from this weekend put the Warriors far from .500. In fact, the Warriors have won about 33% of their games. Eight games, six losses, two wins, hardly a turnaround from past ghosts. Up in Sacramento, former Warrior coach, Keith Smart, seems to have found a way to connect with DeMarcus Cousins and but are in no better shape than the Warriors. Is the California coast a curse to the NBA. Only the Lakers have reigned supreme, but their other fellow CA teams have often disappointed. Speaking of the Lakers, one of the losses from this weekend were [...]

Rumors sure are flying. It wouldn’t be a sports crazy world if there isn’t at least one ridiculous rumor floating around. Rumor has it, Apple has placed a bid for the rights of English Premier League (EPL). What is EPL? Well for one its known as “football”, but because we, Americans, have to call it something entirely different to be different, soccer is the more common name. Yes, I know. One, this is a basketball blog and for God’s sake, specifically a Golden State Warriors blog. But I just wanted to prove a point that rumors are flying around. BTW, [...]

The Warriors are not winning. Losing to the San Antonio Spurs for the 13th consecutive time, the Spurs won the tight contest 101-95. The loss essentially makes the Warriors 1-2. The loss also claimed another victim, as Stephen Curry rolled his ankle, yet again. Most of the time, when people roll their ankles, it is by their own fault. There are times, when they land on other player’s feet and roll, but most of the time, they end up doing it on their own. Curry was faking a long pass from the backcourt and landed awkwardly on his right foot, [...]

If you’re intrigued by the prospect that Nate Robinson could be wearing the Golden Gate Bridge across his chest, then it may soon be coming true. Early reports indicate that the Warriors are close to signing the six year veteran whose rise to fame was with the New York Knicks, winning the Slam Dunk contest at only 5’9″. He was later signed by the Boston Celtics. A throw-in for the Kendrick Perkins-Jeff Green trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Robinson only gave about 3.3 points per game, 1.5 assists in about 7 minutes per game and only appeared in four [...]

Early stats. How does the Warriors line up against the other teams? Well, so so if you ask for my professional opinion. Standings They are 3rd in the conference only behind the two LA teams with a .400% win percentage. Pretty good so far, as they are only 0.5 games behind the leaders with a 2-3 record. Early Season Stats* And for individual stats*: Scoring: Monta Ellis – 20.3 ppg Rebounds: David Lee – 8.0 rpg Steals: Stephen Curry – 2.3 spg Assists: Monta Ellis – 8.5 apg Blocks: Brandon Rush – 1.4 bpg * Source: ESPN – NBA – [...]

Those first four games were soooo last year. And it was even more irritating to be playing against a much more improved LA Clippers than the real LA Clippers. However, it was a great two bounce back wins against the Bulls and then against the newly looked Knicks. A loss to the 76ers just damped the fun in 2011. The Warriors finished 2011 with a .500 record, 2-2. Hoping to carry that momentum to Phoenix and the new year, the Suns quickly threw that notion out the window as the defeated the Warriors 102-91 victory in a matinee game. It [...]

Yes, I’m a bit late. It has been a great finish to the 2011 year and I can only look forward to bigger and better things come 2012. I hope everyone partied hard, stayed safe and return to the real world, looking for accomplish new challenges and open new windows of opportunity. It’s exciting for everyone this year to be a Warrior fan and I hope great things come for the Bay Area. With that said, let’s get the new year rockin! Happy New Year!

Two games, back to back, and one win. One first win for rookie head coach, Mark Jackson. And it came at the expense at Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls. Both teams were lucky enough to be selected to play on Christmas day. While Chicago stunned the Lakers in a win, the Warriors were blown out by the Clippers. Last night was a great way to open up the NBA season. First, it was Christmas. Merry Christmas everybody. I hope everyone was good this year and go whatever they wanted from whomever. Obviously, the second gift for NBA fans and [...]

This post is particularly just for Stephen Curry. No, I’m not going to do a profile, fill you in on what he did during the lockout but more importantly, give an update on his ankle. For those who missed BOTH the game versus the Kings AND the post about him rolling his ankle, Curry went out of the game in the first half and didn’t return. An MRI yesterday reveled that he DID NOT tear any ligament in his ankle and it is just a bad sprain. The surgery in the summer to repair some ligaments weren’t torn as well. [...]

Remember when your parents (mostly mom) said that it would be great if you can learn from other people’s mistakes? Well apparently, the athletes who have unbelievable athletic ability that some of us can only imagine, do not have ANY common sense at all (though I have been told common sense is not all that common). It’s not just the schools that are now just learning about molestation that has happened on school grounds and with their high ranking coaches (and other people) – I am a firm believer that this has been going and is going on for years [...]
