Game 1 of Warriors/Grizzlies are what we love about the playoffs

Brandon King

I would like to put in an order for six more games of this, please. Game 1 of the Grizzlies/Warriors Western Semifinals had all of the things we love about playoff basketball- intense, physical play, a hotly contested back and forth ballgame that literally came down to the last possession and stars making big time plays. a 13-point lead at 42-29 was quickly sliced to 3, as the lead was quickly sliced to three as Golden State’s off-ball movement and pinpoint passes from Draymond Green and others picked the Memphis…

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

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,…

Stephen Curry cleared to return to action against Hawks

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…
