Golden State Warriors

OKC swept the Warriors, won 64 games and brought back its young core. Somehow, the Thunder might be even scarier.

Stephen Curry stepped on the court during an AAU tournament in Nevada, determined to prove deserving of a scholarship to a major college. All the big-name coaches were in the building and Curry, a scrawny but earnest teenager, would provide them with a glimpse of all his greatness and glory. Asked on Sunday to recall a memorable brush with failure, Curry paused briefly before reliving the moment during a panel discussion at the University of San Francisco.

Anybody else in Dub Nation get tired of Portland smacking the Golden State Warriors around last year? The Warriors spent most of last season fighting for their lives in the Western Conference standings, and somehow a Trail Blazers team that wasn’t supposed to be anywhere near the top of their list of problems kept showing up and punching them in the mouth. Welcome to the next stop on our tour through the Northwest Division. Unfortunately for Warriors fans, this is a team in the group that sho...

Back at it Dub Nation, taking a virtual tour around the NBA’s offseason division by division to see what’s happening. The Golden State Warriors are trying to recapture their championship magic against a bunch of teams that are more than happy to put the dynasty to sleep for good. We’re still cruising through the Northwest division, so let’s talk some Utah Jazz basketball. Last year the Dubs went 3-1 against Utah, beating them pretty much at will as the Jazz’s season spiraled into the dumpster...

Let’s it get it Dub Nation. I’m taking a look around the league this summer division by freakin’ division to see what all the big hubbub is about.

As the offseason settles into the quiet, I’m taking a Warriors-centric look at Northwest Division. Let’s chat about those Denver Nuggets. They let 23-year old baller Peyton Watson walk and added a 37-year-old DeMar DeRozan. Watson signed a four-year, $22 million deal with Cleveland in a sign-and-trade while Denver told itself Watson’s number was too rich to match. This is a difficult blow for Nuggets’ supporters who watched Watson develop into a solid piece for a Denver team not far removed f...

The Golden State Warriors haven't had the offseason many expected, and one of their under-the-radar moves illustrates why.
