Golden State With Mates

The Golden State Warriors recorded their eighth win in the past 11 games on Friday night against the Sacramento Kings, with their bench, led by De’Anthony Melton and Al Horford, continuing to look like a major strength.

Plus, more on Michael Porter Jr. trade chatter after Draymond Green's podcast comments certainly caused a stir on social media.

When will Jonathan Kuminga be traded, and who will the former seventh overall pick be moved for? Stevie Ray joins me on this episode to discuss the possible answers to those questions, including bringing up a range of trade targets and the latest specifically on Anthony Davis, Trey Murphy III and Michael Porter Jr.

The Golden State Warriors responded from Friday's blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder with a win over the Utah Jazz, having turned things around after Draymond Green's ejection late in the first-half.

Green's role on the team continues to be a talking point, and now even more so is the idea of moving the franchise legend in a blockbuster trade for 10x All-Star Anthony Davis.

The Golden State Warriors have bounced back from Sunday's disastrous loss to the Toronto Raptors, overcoming a slow start in Brooklyn to claim a 120-107 against the Nets at Barclays Center.

Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler did their thing with 48 combined points, but it was the Warrior bench that got the job done as Steve Kerr utilized 13 players on the second night of a back-to-back.

The Golden State Warriors led by seven with less than two minutes to play against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, only to fall by 14 in a gut-wrenching overtime loss.

Turnovers again proved costly as the Warriors quite literally threw away another game, while Steve Kerr's rotations and the absence of Trayce Jackson-Davis also proved a big talking point from a 141-117 defeat that snaps a three-game winning streak.

The Golden State Warriors have recorded one of their more impressive wins of the season over the Orlando Magic, but it's been overshadowed by a fiery exchange between Draymond Green and Steve Kerr that saw the veteran forward head to the locker room and not return to the game.

While both Kerr and Green have both tried to downplay the incident, the bigger problem might be that the Warriors continue to look better without their defensive leader on the floor.

The Golden State Warriors snapped their three-game losing streak with a 119-116 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night, with rookie guard Will Richard making a statement in his return to the rotation.

Buddy Hield's removal from the rotation was a major talking point, and so too Draymond Green's ejection as the Warriors continue to canvas the trade market with further reports linking them to a trio of athletic big men.

The Golden State Warriors have had a few days off leading into Thursday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns, but that hasn't prevented more talking points around the team in regard to Steve Kerr's rotation comments and Joe Lacob's email leak.

How much should we read into what's been said, what does it mean for the rotation over the next month, and what about the possibility of a massive trade leading into the February deadline?

*I forgot to press publish on this episode at the same time it came out on YouTube, but still plenty of...

Stephen Curry dropped 12 threes and 48 points in Portland on Sunday night, only for Golden State to still fall in a 136-131 defeat to the Trail Blazers.

So, who is to blame for the Warriors' latest disappointing defeat? The performances of veteran stars Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green are under the microscope, along with Steve Kerr's coaching as Golden State fall below .500 on the season.

The Golden State Warriors suffered another disappointing loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at home on Friday, leading to more rotation and roster issues that simply need to be addressed.

How can Buddy Hield's role in the starting lineup be justified? Does Jimmy Butler need to be aggressive hunting his own shot? Answering those questions and a whole lot more on this episode!

Stevie Ray joins me again on the jam-packed episode to discuss a range of topics, including Pat Spencer's recent emergence and whether it's legitimate, Draymond Green's role moving forward, the guard rotation and Jonathan Kuminga's trade value.

Plus, the Warriors have again been linked to Trey Murphy III and Myles Turner, so what exactly would/should the front office put forth to acquire one of these players before the deadline?

The Golden State Warriors have recorded back-to-back impressive wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls, renewing optimism despite the absences of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.

There's now more rotation question marks for Steve Kerr as a number of lesser names step up, with Jonathan Kuminga already a notable casualty from the rotation on Sunday in the strongest sign yet that his career with the Warriors is coming to an end.

The Golden State Warriors produced a mammoth comeback effort in the fourth-quarter on Thursday, only to fall short in heart-breaking fashion in the final second.

All the takeaways from a game with plenty of positives and negatives, including the disappointment of Golden State's young players who again failed to step up without the veteran core.

Seth Curry dropped a major statement in his debut for the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, posting 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting in less than 18 minutes to pile the pressure on others within Steve Kerr's rotation.

That pressure will only heighten with the confirmed return of De'Anthony Melton against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, providing significant question marks on the state of the rotation going forward.

Stevie Ray is back on the podcast to dissect what he's seen from the Warriors over the past few weeks, along with what we can expect from the addition of Seth Curry and the imminent return of De'Anthony Melton.

We then dive into a deep trade discussion on various moves the Warriors could make ahead of the February deadline, and how far we'd be willing to go to acquire certain players.

Seth Curry is set to return to the Golden State Warriors on a rest of season deal, potentially bringing with it a raft of rotation and roster ramifications given underwhelming play from others over the first quarter of the campaign.

Which players could find themselves in trouble with the Curry signing and the imminent return of De'Anthony Melton, and how exactly do the Warriors prioritize this roster beyond Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler?

If a 104-100 loss to the Houston Rockets wasn't disappointing enough for the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry will now be sent for an MRI after leaving Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets in the final minute.

Were there any positives to take from a meltdown against the short-handed Rockets, and how desperate could the Warriors get leading into the mid-season trade deadline?

At long last Buddy Hield finally turned around his horror form, dropping a new season-high 20 points to go with five rebounds and four rebounds in a 134-117 victory for the Golden State Warriors over the Utah Jazz.

More on Hield's performance and perhaps the unhealthy reliance the Warriors have on him, along with the roles of Quinten Post and Gary Payton II in the starting lineup, and Brandin Podziemski's punishment from this post-game live stream!

Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler combined for 67 points against the Orlando Magic at Kia Center on Tuesday night, but it wasn't enough as the Golden State Warriors fell to a 121-113 defeat despite the absence of Paolo Banchero.

The inconsistent offensive production beyond Curry and Butler continues to be a concern for the Warriors, and is one that might not necessarily be addressed by the return of Jonathan Kuminga.

STEPHEN. FREAKING. CURRY.

The 2x MVP has lifted the Golden State Warriors to a thrilling 109-108 NBA Cup victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night. Curry dropped nine threes and 49 points, with that coming just 48 hours after posting 46 points against the same opposition.

A Stephen Curry masterclass has delivered the Golden State Warriors a massive win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday after trailing by 16 in the second-quarter.

Curry finished with a new season-high 46 points, but he wasn't the only veteran to make a statement as Jimmy Butler dropped 28 and Draymond Green made life as difficult as possible for Victor Wembanyama.

Plenty to discuss from the 125-120 win, including a new starting lineup that may signal the start of more Jonathan Kuminga trade rumors.

The Golden State Warriors were obliterated on both ends of the floor against the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder, falling to a 126-102 defeat at Paycom Center on Tuesday night.

Was it simply a rusty performance from Stephen Curry on his return from injury, or did this say more about the ability for he, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green to still win consistently at a high level over an 82-game season?

It wasn't pretty but the Golden State Warriors finally snapped a two-game losing streak at Chase Center on Sunday, eventually blowing out the Indiana Pacers in the last 16 minutes after a forgettable performance to that point.

Al Horford's return to form was a major positive for the Warriors as the veteran center shot 4-of-6 from 3-point range, while Jimmy Butler steadied things and rookie guard Will Richard again impressed in the 114-83 victory.

The Golden State Warriors got back to winning ways with a 118-107 victory over the Phoenix Suns at Chase Center on Tuesday night.

Quinten Post delivered in a starting role and Moses Moody poured in a season-high 24 points off the bench, so what does it mean for Steve Kerr's rotations going forward?

Plus, with Stephen Curry ruled out and Jimmy Butler questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings, what should Golden State's approach be against their pacific rival?

After a bright start to the season, the Golden State Warriors have now suffered a pair of embarrassing defeats against short-handed opposition. 

So, how what are the biggest issues facing the Warriors right now, and how concerned should we be ahead of a back-to-back against the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings?

The Golden State Warriors have produced their worst performance of the season to date with a 120-110 loss to the Bucks in Milwaukee.

With star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo out, it was former Warrior Ryan Rollins who stepped up with a career-best night. Is there reason to panic for Golden State after such a disappointing performance, or is this just a blip on the radar?

The Golden State Warriors have moved to 4-1 with a win over the L.A. Clippers on Tuesday night, with Quinten Post taking advantage of his starting opportunity with an impressive two-way performance.

The Golden State Warriors got back to winning ways with a 131-118 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night, but it was the youth of Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody that crucially led the way on the first night of a back-to-back.

Can the Warriors get this kind of consistent performance from all three players moving forward, and is there still a giant center problem that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later?

Aaron Gordon went for an astonishing 50 points on a remarkable 10-of-11 shooting from 3-point range, yet it was the brilliance of Stephen Curry who stole the show late in a thrilling overtime win for the Warriors in their home opener.

Plenty to talk about from this game beyond Curry and Gordon, with the performances of Al Horford, Jonathan Kuminga and Will Richard also major storylines in the 137-131 win.

Stevie Ray joins me to dissect the Warriors' 119-109 victory over the Lakers on opening night, with Jimmy Butler, Stephen Curry and Jonathan Kuminga leading the way with impressive performances to help the franchise to the best possible start to the new season!

With Moses Moody a confirmed out for opening night against the Los Angeles Lakers, Steve Kerr suddenly has a conundrum on who should be the fifth-starter for the Golden State Warriors to start the season.

Plus, does Golden State’s plans for Al Horford suggest an obvious trade the front office needs to already be considering?

On this episode I'm joined by Uriah Young of NBA Now & Then whose podcast specializes in bridging the gap between past and present to reveal fascinating and thought-provoking comparisons of players from different eras.

With that theme in mind, we undertake a fun exercise on comparing Golden State's stars with previous greats of the game, and offer our thoughts on who the franchise's young players could emulate in the future.

Stephen Curry led the way with 28 points in less than 27 minutes against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday, but it was Jonathan Kuminga's ejection and Will Richard's impressive first start that may have been the biggest talking points.

Plus, a crashing down to earth for Brandin Podziemski after Sunday's performance against the Lakers, and more on the Warriors center rotation a week out from the start of the regular season.

Playing without Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, Al Horford and Moses Moody, the Warriors fell 126-116 in their third preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night.

Brandin Podziemski was the clear standout for the Warriors particularly in the third-quarter, but how do we evaluate the performance of Jonathan Kuminga? 

Plus, how concerning is Draymond Green’s preseason form, and would the Warriors consider moving the franchise legend if it meant acquiring one of Bam Adebayo or Lauri Markkanen?

The Golden State Warriors main rotation found themselves thoroughly outplayed by the Portland Trail Blazers in the first 2.5 quarters at Chase Center on Wednesday night.

However, after being down 19 entering the fourth, a 51-point outburst led by Quinten Post, Will Richard and LJ Cryer helped the Warriors to a 129-123 victory to push their preseason record to 2-0.

The Golden State Warriors made a positive preseason start with a 111-103 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, with Moses Moody and Al Horford impressing during the eight-point win.

On this episode Stevie joins me with our biggest takeaways from the game, including the performances of Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green along with some of Steve Kerr's lineup combinations.

On this episode I'm joined by Celtics beat writer Jack Simone to offer some thoughts and a different perspective on Al Horford and his fit with the Golden State Warriors after an excellent first preseason outing on Sunday against the Lakers.

Later on Jack and I also discuss where the Celtics are at and whether the Warriors could possibly get their hands on Derrick White in a trade.

Stevie jumps back on with me to do a full recap of 2025 media day for the Golden State Warriors, including the response from veteran players on the Jonathan Kuminga situation as that continues to drag out.

Plus, going through all of the Warriors' recent signings over the past 24 hours or so and what they could mean for the franchise's hopes of contending for another title this season.

The Golden State Warriors have officially agreed to a multi-year contract with Al Horford in free agency, ending months of anticipation surrounding the veteran center's arrival in the Bay Area. 

What will Horford's addition do for the Warriors and their projected starting lineup? Plus, how a sequence of events in Boston has ultimately led to the 5x All-Star joining the Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings have reportedly revived sign-and-trade talks according to Sam Amick of The Athletic, but can a deal possibly get done that appeases both sides?

Is there a player outside Malik Monk that the Warriors could target, or is Kuminga's return to the franchise still inevitable?

The Golden State Warriors roster may finally be set after a major free agency update from Marc Stein on Monday, but is a consolidation trade already in order given the glut of shooting guard options?

Plus, which five players could be on the outside looking in when it comes to holding a rotation spot for Steve Kerr entering the season.

Jonathan Kuminga’s agent Aaron Turner has taken a unique approach to the current free agency situation in deciding to do a media tour over recent days.

Why exactly has Turner taken such an unusual approach at this time, and why did he repeatedly mentioned Al Horford, Jalen Green and Jalen Johnson as having relevance in negotiations with the Golden State Warriors?

Trey Murphy III has a unique blend of youth, skillset, fit, contract and trade price that makes him the absolute dream trade target for the Golden State Warriors.

On this episode, why the Warriors can’t afford to miss this opportunity if it arises, and why Murphy might even be a priority over chasing the long-held dream of Giannis Antetokounmpo. 

On this episode I'm joined by Stevie Ray to unpack the explosive report from ESPN on Jonathan Kuminga's free agency as the stalemate between he and the Golden State Warriors continues.

What should each party do before the October 1 qualifying offer deadline, and how can the Warriors best maximize Kuminga once the season gets underway?

Thanks again to Stevie for jumping on and look forward to hearing more from him as the season progresses!

The Golden State Warriors continue to explore roster possibilities as they work through Jonathan Kuminga's free agency, having recently looked at a pair of young players that includes 6'9" point guard Dalano Banton.

Also on this episode, how the New York Knicks signing Landry Shamet could impact Golden State's roster plans, and could a pair of former Warrior wings be on the move as trade speculation continues?

Josh Giddey's four-year, $100 million contract with the Chicago Bulls now leaves Jonathan Kuminga as easily the most notable restricted restricted free agent left on the market.

So will Giddey's new deal exert some pressure on Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors to follow suit? Could the Bulls renew interest in the young forward after conversations in the past?

Much has been made of Al Horford's expected arrival at the Golden State Warriors and how his 3-point shooting from the center position will balance out a front court featuring Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green.

However, it's the other side of the ball where Horford could be even more important, and particularly in matchups against the best player in the world...

With Jonathan Kuminga's free agency stalemate with the Golden State Warriors stemming further into September, the likelihood of him accepting the $7.9 million qualifying offer becomes more and more likely.

Having Kuminga take that previously unthinkable path would be a disaster for the Warriors, but they would at least gain access to a forgotten trade tool that could become extremely important.

Reports suggest the Golden State Warriors have already locked in a number of free agency signings once Jonathan Kuminga's situation is resolved, leaving perhaps one roster spot between a number of options on the market.

One veteran guard easily stands above others in terms of who the Warriors should prioritize, yet it's not the direction that Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the front office may be heading.

Back after nearly a month to check in with some thoughts on the ongoing Jonathan Kuminga saga, the Warriors' other expected moves in free agency, and recent reports on their trade interest in Trey Murphy III.

Can Golden State possibly convince New Orleans to give up the 25-year-old rising star? There's a couple reasons to be optimistic, along with a four-team blockbuster mock trade that could still be completed this offseason!

The Sacramento Kings have re-emerged as perhaps the leading suitor for Jonathan Kuminga, but getting a sign-and-trade done with the Golden State Warriors is still incredibly difficult to figure out.

In this episode I’ll go through all the potential scenarios and how they would impact both teams both in the short-term and in subsequent moves further down the track.

Major reports on Jonathan Kuminga’s future with the Golden State Warriors from ESPN on Thursday, including that the franchise certainly wants the young forward back in the fold ahead of next season.

However, convincing Kuminga that the Warriors are the best team for him remains a major problem, with sign-and-trade scenarios still in play.

Plus, the threat of signing the qualifying offer and how mutual interest with free agent Seth Curry could be bad news for one of Golden State’s playoff heroes.

Jonathan Kuminga's restricted free agency continues to be a stalled process for the Golden State Warriors, but exactly which rival team is most likely to pull off a sign-and-trade if the young forward doesn't return to the franchise?

Plus, the latest on Al Horford, De'Anthony Melton and a new name to monitor for the Warriors who've been linked to a veteran guard who could become an ideal backup to Stephen Curry!

The Phoenix Suns reportedly have interest in Jonathan Kuminga, but does the divisional rival even have anything that the Golden State Warriors would want in a sign-and-trade?

Plus, how the Warriors’ decision should be impacted by Bradley Beal and Damian Lillard’s recent free agency moves, and how it all intertwines with their pursuit of Al Horford.

Plenty to cover in this episode, starting with some more summer league takeaways after a strong response from Alex Toohey and the Warriors against the Jazz on Sunday.

Plus, more free agency thoughts on Jonathan Kuminga, Al Horford, Ben Simmons and others, along with a controversial take on LeBron James and a forgotten player who could still be part of Golden State’s starting lineup entering next season.

The Golden State Warriors still haven't made a single move nearly 10 days into free agency, but it's not all doom and gloom like some frustrated fans would have you believing. I'll outline why that's the case, then get to your comments as we continue to speculate about what could be on the horizon.

*Apologies for audio issues, will hopefully correct it for next time!

Speculation continues to grow on the Golden State Warriors offseason moves, including a likely reunion with De'Anthony Melton, interest in Bradley Beal and more updates on Al Horford and Jonathan Kuminga!

Plus, the Warriors finished up their California Classic campaign on Tuesday with a loss to the Miami Heat, with plenty of takeaways on the likes of Alex Toohey, Will Richard and Taran Armstrong.

The Warriors have reportedly already reached out to Dame, but should they actually have interest in bringing him home to the Bay? Plus, the waiting game continues on Jonathan Kuminga and Al Horford...

The Golden State Warriors lost beloved veteran Kevon Looney to the New Orleans Pelicans, while failing to make any move themselves in a slow first day of free agency for the franchise.

Jonathan Kuminga's future remains up in the air, while Al Horford is now the biggest player to watch with reports Golden State are heavily interested in the Boston Celtics big man.

Tune into this replay of the live stream as we discuss Loon's legendary career with the Warriors, the latest on Kuminga and potential sign-and-trade scenarios, as well as the potential addition of...

With free agency less than 48 hours away, the eyes of Golden State Warriors fans are centered on the future of Jonathan Kuminga and what the franchise is planning with the young forward.

In this episode, a Kuminga sign-and-trade proposal that would bring two regularly mentioned trade targets to the Bay, plus exploring other potential targets for the Warriors in free agency!

Multiple trades have seen the Golden State Warriors end up with the 52nd and 56th overall picks in the second-round of the 2025 NBA Draft, with the franchise selecting Australian forward Alex Toohey and Florida national championship winner Will Richard.

What can we expect from Golden State's latest additions, and what might it mean for some other players in potential roster moves over the coming weeks?

*Podcast recorded before news of Kristaps Porzingis' move to the Atlanta Hawks...Incredibly frustrating but still some worthy discussion

Former Warrior Jordan Poole is on the move again, this time to the New Orleans Pelicans in a deal that validates Golden State's decision to trade the young guard two years ago.

But how exactly does it impact the Warriors now, and what trade targets could emerge from the Poole trade and that of Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers?

All the instant reaction to the Oklahoma City Thunder’s clinching of the 2025 NBA championship, including Tyrese Haliburton’s devastating injury and what it might prove about the Golden State Warriors’ handling of Stephen Curry’s hamstring strain.

On this episode, a quick recap of Game 6 of the NBA Finals and more names floated as potential targets for the Golden State Warriors this offseason. 

Plus, the one player who might make sense for the Warriors to acquire in a Jonathan Kuminga sign-and-trade scenario.

All the instant reaction to the Oklahoma City Thunder's Game 5 victory over the Indiana Pacers, including the disappointment of Tyrese Haliburton's performance and the brilliance of Jalen Williams.

Plus, more on the Warriors offseason starting with the latest on Jonathan Kuminga, along with the potential acquisitions of Jaren Jackson Jr. and/or Al Horford.

The NBA's newest shock trade is upon us with confirmation that the Memphis Grizzlies have stunningly moved Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks and a first-round pick swap!

What does it mean for both teams, and what does it mean for the Golden State Warriors who now have an obvious offer to put forward for Jaren Jackson Jr. if the Grizzlies are contemplating an even bigger re-tooling...

The Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga could be set for an interesting contract structure that would mitigate some risks for the franchise going forward.

However, the Warriors might be set on a huge leap of faith in Quinten Post as speculation mounts on a close rival looking to steal Kevon Looney in free agency.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant may not be making their way to the Golden State Warriors this offseason, but their futures could undoubtedly have a big impact on the franchise based on recent reporting.

Plus, the latest on Lauri Markkanen, Brook Lopez and how the Warriors could capitalize on trade scenarios surrounding the draft and a pair of former top four picks!

There's been only four Game 7's in the NBA Finals this century, so will Warrior and other neutral fans get to enjoy a fifth when the Oklahoma City Thunder face the Indiana Pacers?

As much as we may wish for that to happen, all the history and signs point to this being a one-sided Finals matchup...

The Miami Heat have emerged as a potential team for Jonathan Kuminga, raising suggestions that the Golden State Warriors could look to reunite with former All-Star Andrew Wiggins.

However, CBA rules means that a Kuminga-Wiggins swap wouldn't be so simple this offseason, with the complexity of the entire situation suggesting the young Warrior forward could remain with the franchise. 

The Golden State Warriors will explore sign-and-trade scenarios involving Jonathan Kuminga this summer, but the latest reports suggests they’re actually headed for an incredibly risky decision on the former seventh overall pick.

Plus later in the episode, looking at more center options for the Warriors that you guys brought up earlier in the week!

With the Golden State Warriors looking to add more size across the roster this offseason, exactly what they do with the center position is fascinating ahead of free agency.

Let's have a look at 10 big men the Warriors could target via trade or free agency this offseason, each of which come at different price points and with their own positives and negatives.

Steve Kerr has been open and honest in regard to Jonathan Kuminga over recent days, with his comments suggesting that the Warriors are ready to part ways with the talented young forward as he prepares to hit restricted free agency.

A huge live stream looking at the latest on Jonathan Kuminga's future, who the Warriors could get in a potential sign-and-trade, and whether Giannis Antetokounmpo could actually become available for Golden State.

Plus, a deep look at the center position and who the Warriors could target in free agency or via the trade market! 

A 121-110 Game 5 loss has seen Golden State Warriors eliminated from the NBA Playoffs, with an immediate look ahead to how the franchise can return bigger (literally) and better next season.

Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga combined for 54 points on Wednesday, but their futures are talking points as the latter prepares for restricted free agency. Plus, as the Warriors look to build around Stephen Curry, is anyone safe including veterans Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green?

The Golden State Warriors now find themselves down 3-1 and are in desperate trouble after a 117-110 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night. 

Jonathan Kuminga produced a huge first-half that had the Warriors in front, but Jimmy Butler's passiveness and Draymond Green's inability to impact defensively were rather inexcusable elements from a second-straight home loss.

Plenty discussed from this game, the shock results of the NBA Draft Lottery, and a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade on this post-game live!

Jonathan Kuminga delivered a breakout playoff performance with 30 points, and Jimmy Butler added a team-high 33, but it wasn't enough as the Golden State Warriors suffered a Game 3 defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Chase Center on Saturday.

Plenty to talk about on Kuminga's game, Butler's immense outing though he faded down the stretch, and perhaps the pivotal moment of the game in the third-quarter when Draymond Green picked up his fourth foul.

Playing without the injured Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors predictably struggled offensively in a 117-93 Game 2 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center on Thursday.

But as Steve Kerr tried all 14 of his available players in the first-half, the Warriors may have made a couple of important rotation discoveries with positive performances from young pair Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis.

The Golden State Warriors recorded an impressive Game 1 road victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, but it came at a cost as Stephen Curry left with a hamstring strain in the second-quarter.

While veterans Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Buddy Hield were again big for the Warriors in a 99-88 win, all attention turns to Curry and what could be a series-defining injury.

Buddy Hield has produced the performance of his life for the Golden State Warriors in Game 7, pouring in 33 points to help his team to a 103-89 victory over the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center on Sunday.

While Hield was the big story, the Warrior defense was just as big a factor led by Draymond Green's huge performance guarding Alperun Sengun. Plenty on that, Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, Jonathan Kuminga's minutes and a whole lot more as Golden State now fly to Minnesota to face the Timberwolves in Game 1 on Tuesday!

After blowing the opportunity to close out the series on their home floor, the Golden State Warriors now face a do-or-die Game 7 against the Houston Rockets on the road at Toyota Center on Sunday.

Are there any moves for Steve Kerr to make, or have the last two games simply exposed the flaws in the Warrior roster? Where do your confidence levels sit in Golden State being able to respond after back-to-back losses?

From the opening minutes it appeared obvious the Golden State Warriors weren't prepared for Game 5 against the Houston Rockets, with Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green each struggling in a 131-116 defeat.

Despite the blowout loss, there were a couple of silver linings for the Warriors as a fourth-quarter fight back forced Ime Udoka into bringing back his starters. Does Moses Moody's team-high 25 points mean much moving forward, and can Golden State now respond heading back to the Bay for Game 6?

A huge post-game live after the Golden State Warriors take a 3-1 series lead with a 109-106 win over the Houston Rockets at Chase Center on Monday night!

Plenty to chat about including the fourth-quarter heroics of Jimmy Butler, the arguably best game of Brandin Podziemski's career, and Draymond Green's mixed night that finished with a clutch defensive stop on Alperun Sengun.

Plus later on, some discussion on what the Warriors should be looking to do in the offseason, as well as some off-topic conversations on Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and other movies...

The Golden State Warriors have taken a 2-1 series lead over the Houston Rockets with a huge 104-93 win on Saturday night despite the absence of Jimmy Butler.

Stephen Curry put on a masterclass with 36 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, but it was the ability of Gary Payton II to take advantage of Curry's gravity down the stretch that allowed the Warriors to pull away in the fourth-quarter. Buddy Hield's 17-point performance also drew plenty of positives and negatives, while Quinten Post's career-high 12 rebounds is also a huge talking point despite shooting 1-of-7 from the floor.<...

The Golden State Warriors suffered a 109-94 defeat to the Houston Rockets in Game 2 at Toyota Center on Wednesday night, but their main focus will be on the health of Jimmy Butler after the 6x All-Star left the game following a nasty fall in the first-quarter.

Between Butler's injury and Brandin Podziemski being significantly impacted by illness, is there too much to take from the game as the series heads to the Bay delicately poised at 1-1?

The Golden State Warriors have stolen home-court advantage in their first-round series against the Houston Rockets, claiming a 95-85 victory in Game 1 at Toyota Center thanks to 56 combined points from Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler.

After the Warriors built a 23-point lead halfway through the third-quarter, the Rockets came storming back thanks to a 22-6 advantage in offensive rebounds. Is there an answer for Golden State's rebounding woes, or is simply a case of hoping their offensive shot-making is enough as it was on Sunday?

The 2025 NBA Playoffs are officially underway with a slate of four games that sprung some surprises on Saturday.

After a brief look at those games, attention turns to a tantalizing first-round series between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets starting at Toyota Center on Sunday.

The Golden State Warriors have officially clinched the seventh-seed in the NBA's Western Conference, having held of a second-half fightback from the Memphis Grizzlies to record a 121-116 win at Chase Center.

Plenty to discuss on this post-game live -- the brilliance of Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, the mind-boggling officiating down the stretch, the form of Golden State's younger players, Steve Kerr's rotation, and a quick look ahead to a first-round series against the Houston Rockets.

The Golden State Warriors will have to go through the Play-In Tournament to secure their playoff berth after a heartbreaking 124-119 loss to the L.A. Clippers on Sunday afternoon at Chase Center.

From Draymond Green's painful layup attempt and Buddy Hield's missed three, to the performances of Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, and Jonathan Kuminga's benching amid a controversial rotation, there were so many talking points to go through on this post-game live!

After an uninspiring but comfortable 103-86 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night, the equation has become very simple for the Golden State Warriors -- win against the L.A. Clippers on Sunday and clinch the sixth-seed, or otherwise fall to seventh and host a Play-In game.

Stephen Curry battled through a slightly concerning thumb issue against the Trail Blazers, but Jimmy Butler (24 points) and Buddy Hield (16) stepped up in the 17-point road win!

The Golden State Warriors have been left stunned by a buzzer-beating game-winning three from Harrison Barnes, with a 114-111 San Antonio Spurs victory at Chase Center dropping the hosts to the dreaded seventh-seed in the Western Conference standings.

After one of their worst losses of the season, the Warriors will now have to beat the Portland Trail Blazers and L.A. Clippers, and hope other results go their way in order to avoid the dreaded Play-In Tournament and secure a playoff berth.

On a huge day of NBA games and news, the Golden State Warriors handled business with a dominant 133-95 victory over the insipid Phoenix Suns at Footprint Center on Tuesday night.

While the L.A. Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies also won, the Warriors were done a favor by a stunning fourth-quarter collapse from the Minnesota Timberwolves in Milwaukee. Plenty to discuss on a huge post-game live, including Denver's shock decision to fire their coach and GM, plus more debate on who the Warriors should prefer in a first-round playoff series!

A chance to jump into outright fourth in the Western Conference standings has gone begging for the Golden State Warriors, having had their five-game winning-streak snapped in a 106-96 loss to the Houston Rockets at Chase Center on Sunday.

Stephen Curry's disastrous performance and Golden State's 20 turnovers may have been the biggest factors in the game, but it's Steve Kerr's rotation patterns that could be of most intrigue ahead of the postseason.

The Golden State Warriors faced a daunting back-to-back against the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets, yet exited with two of their most impressive wins of the season to continue growing their playoff credentials.

With Stephen Curry in red-hot form after a mammoth 125 points in the last three games, and Brandin Podziemski taking multiple steps towards future stardom, is it time to start talking about the Warriors as legitimate championship threats?

Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga were huge in the first-half, before another epic battle broke out between Stephen Curry and LeBron James in a massive game between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena.

After emerging with a 123-116 win, the Warriors could now draw even closer to the third-seed if they can return home and claim victory over the Denver Nuggets in the second night of a back-to-back on Friday!
