How The Golden State Warriors Can Improve This Offseason
The Golden State Warriors were the feel good story of the NBA Playoffs this year.
The Warriors, who were led by a core of young players and a second year head coach, upset the third-seeded Nuggets before losing in the Conference Semifinals to the second-seeded San Antonio Spurs.
Even if David Lee had been healthy for the entire playoffs, I’m not sure the Warriors would have been...
Captivating season gives Warriors hope for future
Rookie forward Draymond Green walked out of Golden State's practice facility Friday holding a yellow ''We Are Warriors'' shirt in his hand, taking home the small souvenir to savor the team's captivating playoff run a little longer.
Even though the season ended so painfully, the Warriors will carry more positive memories from the 2012-13 campaign than they...
Every series is tied 1-1. Now what?
Will there be more scuffles to come in the Bulls-Heat bloodbath?
After the first two games of every round one series, the home teams were 14-2, but that’s not the case in round two. Everyone is 1-1 in what is shaping up to be a wild second round filled with ejections, comebacks and epic individual scoring performances. In fact, it’s so wild, I won’t even bother to predict the...
Steph Curry is better than all of us
It was all Golden State Warriors last night in Game 2 of their Western Conference Semifinals match-up with the San Antonio Spurs. Klay Thompson led the way with an offensive explosion alongside shooting assasin Steph Curry. Prior to the game, the Spurs said they weren’t going to change their approach to guarding Curry, which didn’t seem like a good idea. Would it even matter...

Spurs fortunate series is tied with Warriors

Retro Diary: Game of the Year
I am not sure why I am about to do this. I cannot think of a more heartbreaking way to lose a playoff game. And I cannot imagine why I would put myself through it again, but here I go. A retro-diary, Bill Simmons style, of last night’s round two opener between the Spurs and the Warriors; the game that is surely the game of the year so far in the NBA. I don’t know what exactly...
Spurs vs. Warriors: A Quantitative and Qualitative Preview
One of the best aspects in watching sports is first seeing something develop with your eyes and then going back to a box score to see your analysis proven with real numbers.
For example, when you watch a basketball game, you might say, “Player X shoots and misses a lot of jumpers.” From there, you get home, go to the box score and find that Player X attempted 10 jump shots...

Warriors-Nuggets series preview
The Nuggets are a better team than the Warriors. They’ve won 10 more games. They’re one of the hottest teams in the NBA over the last four or five months. And they dominate at home.
