Give Juan Toscano-Anderson All the Money

The days that Juan Toscano-Anderson got DNP’s in the box score are long gone. After a career night against the Cavaliers (20 points on 8-9 FG and 3-4 3PT, 7 rebounds, 3 assists), JTA has become arguably the most productive player coming off the bench for the Warriors. What I love about him is that no one can out-hustle him out there. And I mean no one. He’s pretty much a current version of Matt Barnes, finding a way to make an impact in any way possible. A utility man who can make positive contributions on both ends of the floor.

Warriors' Injury History Continues in Present

In one way or another, injuries have touched all parts of the Warriors during the Steve Kerr era.

From the absences of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love during the 2014-15 championship run to Kawhi Leonard’s injury at the feet of Zaza Pachulia, ailments have worked out to Golden State’s advantage, but the team has also had its own fair share of injuries at untimely junctures.

Continue to Be Patient With James Wiseman’s Development

I noticed how quiet fans were about getting rid of James Wiseman after his spectacular first half in the win over the Bucks last night. The rook had a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds once the halftime buzzer went off and all the haters went silent. I wonder how much the now 20 year old was motivated by the negativity he received from talking on a daily basis with former Dub, Kevin Durant, as well.

Stephen Curry Is More Than the “Greatest Shooter Ever"

For years, Stephen Curry has been lauded as the greatest shooter to ever play the game of basketball by broadcasters, NBA legends, coaches, commentators and fans alike. While this seems like a huge compliment, it’s starting to feel like an insult.

Tourney Hero Could Help Franchise for Years

They had a timeout, they decided not to use it. You know the rest.

But this time the immensely skilled guard pulling it from deep at the end of an all-time great matchup wasn’t Stephen Curry – it was Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs.

I was lucky enough to go to Gonzaga and UCLA’s instant classic at the Final Four in Indianapolis, and as a student at UCLA, I was pulling for the Bruins. But you could tell something was different about this guy as he eventually ended UCLA’s season.

Warriors Can Steer the Season Back on Track with Upcoming Road Trip

Stephen Curry powered through the pain in Monday’s 116-102 win over the Chicago Bulls, and it was the type of performance needed for a team that has to decide what to make of themselves as they close out this season. Is this a roster that is capable of giving the Western conference a run for their money? We’ve seen Golden State overcome the Jazz, Lakers, and Clippers all in a noteworthy fashion, displaying the type of tenacity that could give them a puncher’s chance in a first-round playoff matchup.
