I'm not sure how much can be taken from Stephen Curry's performance in Saturday's exhibition against Lithuania. He played well in the time allotted him (2-2 FG, 1-1 3P, 5 points), but the team-low three minutes would indicate that Curry's chances at making the final cut for Team USA aren't good. [...]
This isn't a full-blown season preview; that won't come until much closer to the start of the season. But, I do feel optimistic about the Warriors' odds of improving this season, so I thought I'd share some of the reasoning. Optimistic about improvement doesn't mean I think the Warriors will [...]

Stephen Curry was perceived to be a pretty sure bet to be one of the final 12 players on Team USA's roster. Most felt his outside shooting ability would come in handy in the international game, which gave him the edge over the Clippers' Eric Gordon. Now, with Saturday's performance [...]

Do you remember when Chris Paul wanted to be traded? Then he met with the Hornets general manager and coach and was impressed enough by their pitch that he changed his mind? Well, it seems the Hornets brass wasn't just blowing smoke. They seem to recognize what they have in [...]
