Young teams don't get a second Finals trip just because. San Antonio just got a firsthand look at why.
The Golden State Warriors won the 2026 NBA Summer League title in Las Vegas this month, and it turns out that they may have had a leg up on the competition thanks to a "secret weapon."
Somewhere in Oklahoma City right now there’s a front office that understands something the rest of the league is still catching up on. Seventy-three wins isn’t a number. It’s a dare. And this year the Thunder walked right up to it, put their hand on the door, and found out the same thing Dub Nation found out a decade ago. The record doesn’t just test your talent. It tests what’s left of you in the postseason. Ten years ago the Warriors ran a 73-9 season that nobody has sniffed since, chasing ...

The NBA has seen eight different champions in eight years. Which of the other 22 teams can make it 9-for-9, and which ones are a long way off?
I consider myself something of a modern day basketball historian. With the rise of the internet and misinformation, it’s easy for people to get caught up in the hoopla of social media and miss parallels to the past that teach us so much about basketball and life. That’s what got me thinking about the San Antonio Spurs’ shocking NBA Finals run and their stunning collapse to the New York Knicks. San Antonio had the Knicks on the ropes in Game 4. Twenty-nine points up. First quarters won by a co...

Keeping it moving here on the rival report here at GSOM, we’re working through the Pacific Divsion to give a shout out to the moribund Kings. Sacramento is still one of the first teams the Warriors have to solve every season. Before we start obsessing over whatever superteam the rest of the league built this summer, it’s worth looking one exit down I-80. This is a math problem, and Sacramento has spent three years trying to solve it. Here’s the full inventory of Sacramento’s 2026 free agency ...

Heat The Heat’s reported interest in Klay Thompson isn’t just about adding another recognizable name.
