For the past few years, the NFL and the NBA have butted heads to claim Christmas. Football has managed to get better viewership with games airing on Netflix.
The Golden State Warriors have won two straight games, including a recent blowout victory over the Orlando Magic, but the story that has generated the most headlines was the sideline spat between power forward Draymond Green and head coach Steve Kerr, which resulted in Green storming off to the locker room.
Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors made it two wins in a row on Monday after taking down the Orlando Magic in a 120-97 blowout. Curry turned in another strong performance with 26 points on 10-of-23 from the field, to go along with three rebounds, six assists, two steals and four triples in 31 minutes of action.
Christmas and the NBA go hand-in-hand. The day serves for the top hoops league in the world, like Thanksgiving for the NFL. However, while the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are perpetual Thanksgiving participants, the NBA has mixed up the matchups and the teams throughout the years.
Draymond Green and Steve Kerr got into a heated debate on the sidelines during the Warriors’ recent 120-97 win over the Magic. Green is reportedly unhappy with his role on the Warriors recently and made his feelings clear.
Draymond Green’s mini-Antonio Brown moment this week may have been a while in the making. The Golden State Warriors veteran forward Green made headlines on Monday night by walking off the bench after a heated exchange with head coach Steve Kerr.
The Golden State Warriors have been gathering intel on who is available before the Feb. 5 trade deadline since early December, per Clutch Points' Brett Siegel.
The Warriors remain unconvinced that the Kings can offer a workable return in any potential deal involving Jonathan Kuminga. According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, Golden State is not enamored with the assets Sacramento would be willing to put on the table for the fifth-year forward.
The Warriors are approaching a key date with Jonathan Kuminga, and around the league, executives are paying attention. According to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, some rival executives at the G League Winter Showcase in Orlando over the weekend were curious how much playing time Kuminga will receive before he becomes trade-eligible on January 15.
The Golden State Warriors secured a 120-97 win over the Orlando Magic on Monday, but veteran Draymond Green left the game early after a heated argument with head coach Steve Kerr.
For over a decade, Draymond Green has been indispensable to the Golden State Warriors. But the combination of his erratic behavior and the team's success with Green out makes the prospect of a Warriors team without their defensive leader much easier to imagine.
