Durant and Green Blame Team Brass for Feud Aftermath

Kevin Durant and Draymond Green finally sat down to air out their dirty laundry on Green’s show “Chips”, breaking down their November 2018 end-of-game feud in Staples Center.

And as speculated, they believed the blame lay with Warriors’ brass – not necessarily the animated Green – in the events preceding Durant’s leaving the team.

Durant blamed Steve Kerr and Bob Myers for trying to move on quickly from the argument, and felt like the team needed to share its grievances just like the Chicago Bulls had done in “The Last Dance” when Scottie Pippen refused to take the floor late in a game.

Stephen Curry is on the Brink of a Historic Record Heading Into the 2021-2022 Season

There are plenty of reasons why Golden State Warriors fans’ excitement for the new season is justified. The Warriors have the fourth-best title odds according to Vegas as a result of a successful offseason. The roster was bolstered with veteran additions like Otto Porter Jr and Nemanja Bjelica. The return of Andre Iguodala provides the team a mentor and an experienced leader in the Warriors system. First-round picks Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody look like they’re ready to contribute this season following a strong summer league showing.

First Look at the 2021-2022 Warriors Season Schedule

The NBA has done a preliminary schedule release outlining a few of the major games that will come in the first half of the season, most notably Opening Night and Christmas Day. The Warriors will be involved in both affairs, playing the Los Angeles Lakers in both a play-in rematch and a possible playoff preview for the opener. The home opener will see the franchise rival Los Angeles Clippers coming to Chase Center, and the Dubs will be facing off against long-time Warriors nemesis Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns on Christmas Day, per The Athletic’s Anthony Slater. All three matchups are solid looks at how the team will be setting the tone early in the season, as all are against the West’s top dogs when at full strength.

Durant-Green Interview Wednesday Could Finally Settle Durant's Exit

With his right hand on his chest, Draymond Green asked the question still hanging over fans’ heads almost three years after a disagreement on a game-ending play against the Los Angeles Clippers.

And this time it was just Kevin Durant, showing love for the Bay Area with an Oakland A’s hat, who was prepared to provide the answer for his former teammate.

“How much did our argument against the Clippers drive you to ultimately leave the Warriors?”

Nobody does Summer quite like Klay Thompson

It’s officially been over 700 days since Klay Thompson last played an NBA game. Warriors fans, along with the rest of the NBA world, desperately miss watching Thompson play competitively, but Klay has been blessing us with some quality entertainment off of the court—especially this summer.

Klay has always been a legend on social media, but this year, he’s kicked it up a notch. For most of the summer, Klay has been vibing on his boat in the Bay, where he’s gone live several times. We’ve seen Boat Klay jamming and singing to Drake, talking about his potential return to the court this coming season, and fishing. Steph Curry called Klay’s boat content “the best content in the world,” and it really is.

Kendrick Perkins puts some respect on Moses Moody's name after blunder

A talented basketball player works for years and years honing their craft. Thousands of hours spent on a basketball court, not to mention the weight room, watching film, on the road traveling to games, and the mental toll it can take. All with the ultimate goal of one day hearing NBA commissioner, Adam Silver, call their names in a room full of other talented athletes.
