    Warped Speed: Attrition and Injury Have Sidetracked the Warriors’ Dynasty

    CBS In classic folklore, the protagonist Faust, dissatisfied with his life, makes a deal with the Devil, exchanging his soul for untold knowledge and pleasures. This tale has been adapted over the years, from the play Damn Yankees to the Snoop Doggy Dog’s single Murder Was the Case, each time with a stargazing protagonist exchanging his mortal soul for the excesses of the good life. And each time, the Devil comes to collect. The Golden State Warriors may be the latest adaptat

    Hot Take Marathon: The Golden State Warriors Will Finish With a Top 3 Seed

    Scott Strazzante / The Chronicle A year ago, writing that headline about the Golden State Warriors would be the definition of a ‘Cold Take.’ But looking at the current NBA landscape, especially in a Western Conference that has only gotten more loaded, there are those who wonder if the wounded Warriors will even make the playoffs. Ignore them. Despite an apparent new era, the Golden State Warriors will finish with a top-three seed in the Western Conference. With new dynamic du

    The Warriors Need 2016 Draymond Green

    USA Today As the sun sets on the Golden State Warriors dynasty, the natural question to ask is what, if anything, the Warriors can do to return to the top. Without Andre Iguodala or Shaun Livingston coming off the bench, or Klay Thompson healthy to begin the season, the Warriors face an unfamiliar lack of depth. Their path forward begins and ends with one man. A figure from the past. A player more myth than reality. 2016 Draymond Green. You think 2019 Kawhi was a good defende

    Hot Take Marathon: The Golden State Warriors Will Make the Western Conference Finals

    NBC Sports If you were to ask me at the start of last season if the Golden State Warriors making the Western Conference Finals a year later would be considered a hot take, I would’ve laughed at you. But here we are as a lot has changed for the five-time reigning Western Conference champions. To recap, the Warriors just came off an NBA Finals appearance in which they lost to the Toronto Raptors. Almost everyone believed that if the Warriors were healthy, they would’ve won, so

    Klay Thompson Re-Signs With Golden State

    The Big Lead What’s the deal? Thompson agreed to a 5-year, $189,903,600 fully guaranteed deal to re-sign with the Warriors. His base salary starts at $32,742,000 next year and increases $2,619,360 every year of the deal according to Sportrac. Klay’s contract does not include a No Trade Clause or a player-option on the last year but does have a 15% trade kicker, exactly like the supermax Steph Curry signed in the summer of 2017. What does Thompson bring to the Warriors? Thom

    2019 NBA Free Agents: Kevin Durant

    Mark J. Terrill/AP Photo Overview: An all-time level player, Kevin Durant was supposed to enter free agency ready to start the next phase in his career as arguably the best player in the NBA. Tragically, he rushed himself back from injury to play Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals and tore his Achilles tendon, knocking him out of not just the Finals but also all of next season. No one in the history of the NBA has ever came back completely following a torn Achilles, but Durant is

His season didn’t at all end as he expected, with both him and his Golden State Warriors going down in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. Thompson suffered a torn ACL during the middle of the third quarte

    Best Fan Moments of the 2019 Playoffs

    USA Today With the NBA postseason now behind us it seems like the right time to reflect on the spectacle of the 2018-19 playoffs, before the memories of the earlier rounds and the greatness of the Finals fade away into free agency and the start of next season. The Toronto Raptors are the champions of the world. The Golden State Warriors quest to win four out of five was ended by a strong Toronto team, a myriad of injuries, and inconsistencies on the defensive end. At the end

    KD’s Achilles Is the NBA’s Sliding Door Moment

    Getty Images When Kevin Durant came rushing back from a calf injury in Game 5 of the NBA Finals in an effort to become the series’ game changer, two paths appeared. On one, he stayed healthy, and win or lose, would become the most desirable free agent in the league, making a decision that would impact the league for years. In the other, his body wasn’t ready, and he would jeopardize his career as well as the plans of all the franchises that lined up for his services. As even

    2019 NBA Finals: 5 Thoughts on Game 5

    Courtesy of Chris Young/The Canadian Press via AP 1. The Warriors are, undeniably, a much better team with Durant (game-high +6) on the court; likely, the most talented squad ever assembled. When Kevin Durant was on the floor for those precious 12 minutes, he was simply electric, hitting all of his attempts from beyond the arc - often in the spite of Klaw-sized mitts and tight defense. His presence was a jolting reminder that these are not the unbeatable, fabled Warriors of y

    Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE via GettyImages The Toronto Raptors are one win away from an NBA Championship. Let's take a moment to appreciate the magnitude of that statement... This is a team that went through a complete facelift to start the season. Their current starting lineup only played 161 minutes together during the regular season, and they have already more than doubled that total this postseason at 362 minutes. The Raptors came into the Playoffs with a bit of a learning

    NBA.com The Toronto Raptors triumphed against the Golden State Warriors 105-92 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night. The Raptors team surprised most of the NBA community by winning both games in the Oracle, and now are in full control of the series at 3-1. With the contest going back to Toronto, the Raptors have a golden chance at ending the Warriors dynasty in front of their home ground. Kawhi Leonard was again a star in Game 4 of the series, but here some of the othe

    Courtesy of Inquirer Sports. Hours before Game 3, Steve Kerr announced both Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson would be unavailable, unable to play in a perhaps a pivotal battle in the greater war that is the 2018/2019 NBA Finals. A golden opportunity was there for the Toronto Raptors to go up 2-1 in the series, and they seized it, holding the Golden State Warriors at arms-length, stiff-arming the defending champs en route to a win. Here are a few thoughts from their victory. 1.

    ABC15 Arizona Before we get into Game 4, let's take a look back at how the Toronto Raptors emerged victorious in Game 3 and took a 2-1 series lead. The Golden State Warriors entered Game 3 without Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Kevon Looney. Those are arguably three of their best six players, and they were missed sorely. Without much scoring around him, Steph Curry put up a career playoff high 47-points on 14/31 shooting including 6/14 from three. He also added eight reboun
