Warriors Bench Falters in Close Loss to Hawks

Steph Curry and Draymond Green returned for a Sunday night matchup against the Hawks. Atlanta was dealing with injury issues of their own, missing star big man John Collins among others.

After an even first quarter in which both teams scored 24 points, you could feel that this one was going to be close the whole way, and that’s exactly what we got. Both teams really started getting going in the second quarter, and the Warriors went into the half with a 57-55 lead despite struggling to shoot the ball from deep.

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.

Curry's Return Marks Return to Win Column

With two 10-seeds battling at the Chase Center, the side with the returning two-time NBA MVP got the edge.

In Stephen Curry’s return to the floor after a five-game absence because of a tailbone injury, the Golden State Warriors (23-24) defeated the Chicago Bulls (19-26) by a score of 116-102 on Monday, helping Steve Kerr’s squad avoid a five-game skid.

Three Players the Warriors Could Look to Add in the Buyout Market

The NBA trade deadline has come and gone, but that has done little to slow down player movement around the NBA. We have seen the NBA buyout market in action over the past week with Lamarcus Aldridge signing with the Nets and Andre Drummond signing with the Lakers.

The Warriors possess $2.8 million in Mid-Level Exception that they can use on someone in the buyout market if they choose to do so. They also have Klay Thompson’s $9.3 million Disabled Player Exceptions. Despite the Warriors recent struggles, if they do decide to become players in the buyout market, they have the financial capital to make a move.

Uneventful Trade Deadline, Once Again, Raises Questions About the Direction of Warriors' Organization

All season long, Warriors fans (myself included) have been confused about the direction of the organization, and we all have a right to be. At the beginning of the season, Joe Lacob seemed like he was balls-to-the-wall on board to win, as he rebuked the mere thought of tanking after Klay Thompson’s injury: “'We're not tanking. If anyone's even thinking that, get it off your mind. Forget it. Give me options. What can we do to make this team as good as we can make it?"

It's Crucial For Warriors to Compete, Title or Not 

Most of the league’s best teams are also coming off of a short offseason after an October NBA Finals, while the Warriors were able to stay home, resting Stephen Curry and Draymond Green after five straight seasons of runs into deep June.

With injuries and protocols forcing absences throughout the league, including Golden State’s loss of Klay Thompson, an opportunity is created in an unprecedented pandemic season for a talented, albeit up-and-down team like the Warriors.
