January 10, 2022July 17, 2022 Brandon King

In the 941 days since Klay Thompson last played in an nba game, Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States, there was insurrection by domestic terrorists, we lost the great Kobe Bryant, the NBA had a four-month pandemic stoppage and played a postseason in a bubble at Disney World, Rajon Rondo has played for three NBA teams and Russell Westbrook has been traded three times. The Warriors defeated the Cavaliers 96-82 but that also seemed secondary because Sunday night Klay Thompson, the Golden State Warriors , their…

Golden State Warriors updates on James Wiseman and Klay Thompson

September 20, 2021September 20, 2021 Brandon King

Since their defeat in the 2019 NBA Finals at the hands of Kawhi Leonard, their quest to reascend to the summit of the NBA’s Mount Olympus has been hampered by injuries. Whether is was Stephen Curry being limited to only five games in 2019-20 or Klay Thompson missing the last two seasons with ACL and Achilles tears, the Warriors team that has been on the floor has had little resemblance of the team we saw competing for an winning three championships over a five-year span. Even lottery pick James Wiseman,…

June 8, 2021June 8, 2021 Brandon King

Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers were both fined $75,000 by the NBA for a tweet that was directed at Stephen Curry. Specifically what occurred was that Morey took a screen shot of a post from Stephen Curry’s Instagram in which he congratulated his brother Seth, who is a guard for the 76ers, on a good game. He then posted the screen shot to his twitter ( which is as of the writing of this article, still up) with the tweet “join ‘em”. Though he tried to walk it back…

Stephen Curry cleared to return to action against Hawks

April 4, 2021April 4, 2021 Staff

By Jon Becker of Bay Area News Group Stephen Curry’s tailbone is apparently feeling well enough for him to play in Atlanta Sunday night. That’s welcome news for a Warriors team that repeatedly found itself on the downside during a 53-point loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday. Curry was not listed on the team’s injury report on Saturday, a clear indication the Warriors’ star is available to help prevent a winless three-game road trip. The Warriors suffered their third-worst loss in team history when they got blitzed 130-77 by…

Klay Thompson knocking down j’s

March 19, 2021March 19, 2021 Brandon King

When Klay Thompson tore his Achilles’ tendon shortly before this season , there was not only a sigh of disappointment around the Warrior nation but also around the league as well. It seems Klay has not been merely bidding his time as he recovers but has been putting in some work, as a video emerged of one of the most interesting cats in the Association showing the stroke is still pure, knocking 12/13, including 12 straight.

Draymond Green has a point

February 16, 2021February 16, 2021 Brandon King

Green’s airing his grievances were spurred on by the recent news of the Cavaliers announcing they would be sitting center Andre Drummond as they sought a suitable trade for the two-time All-Star. Draymond had this to say: “I would like to talk about something that’s really bothering me. It’s the treatment of players in this league. To watch Andre Drummond … come out in street clothes because a team is going…
