For those wondering when the Warriors would finally hit bottom on their most recent losing streak, it looks as if the moment came and went this weekend in between Corey Maggette’s rapid fire San Antonio misses. Monday night against the lowly Oklahoma City Thunder, the Warriors finally managed a win. The Ws fielded a different [...]
Warriors fans are well versed from years of experience in the various gradations of losses: good, bad, and utterly depressing. The first seven losses of this streak were filled with Ls of the bad and utterly depressing variety. Friday’s defeat in Houston, however, was a good one. In a young season desperately in need of [...]
There may be some golden truth or grand moral of the story buried deep within the details of the Warriors 130-129 overtime loss to the Miami Heat. Unfortunately, right now I’m too stupefied by the whole turn of events to dig for it. I’ve been beating the same drum recently as to the big picture [...]
John F. Kennedy once wrote “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.” When Baron Davis opted out in late June, Don Nelson, Chris Mullin, Robert Rowell and Chris Cohan were confronted with an uprising of youth. As in most periods of upheaval, some saw boundless promise while others saw chaos. Chris Cohan [...]

I’m also thankful that for three quarters Don Nelson played the Warriors in something resembling their natural positions, including having not one — but [...]
The good news? Jamal Crawford’s tenure with the Warriors can probably only get better. In a game that was supposed to mark the Warriors’ transition to life with a real point guard — more ball movement, better shots, higher scoring — we instead were treated to the rapid disintegration of anything resembling organized basketball. You [...]
Donne may have been writing about spiritual isolation, not the Warriors’ offense, but the point still holds as we saw vividly Friday night. Don Nelson’s reliance on the isolation play is nothing new. It’s his best way of picking mismatches and exploiting the advantages small ball is supposed to bring. It’s also not clear that [...]
