At the start of the season, I really thought this Warriors team could play close to .500 for the season and contend for the final playoff spot in the West. I think it's safe to say I was completely wrong. After trading Stephen Jackson, and with rumors that Monta Ellis [...]
The Warriors, in the first game after the Stephen Jackson trade, played well in defeat, getting to within three points late in a close game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Unfortunately, too many turnovers and missed shots down the stretch doomed the Warriors, who lost 114-108, in Cleveland. If Golden State [...]
I don't know how you can look at today's trade and not call it a winner for the Warriors. When you consider that Stephen Jackson had 1) demanded a trade months ago, 2) never backed off that trade demand, 3) demonstrated enough erratic behavior to force the Warriors hand in [...]
Often, when a team goes on the road, it’s a chance for players to band together, for a team to develop some chemistry. But for a dysfunctional squad like the Warriors, the lonely road has only served to intensify the team's discord. Yesterday, Monta Ellis blew up at coach Don [...]
It seems clear there’s no turning back now. The Warriors, for the sake of their young talent, for the sake of their franchise, must trade Stephen Jackson. Immediately. A take-the-highest-bid fire sale won’t bring back the kind of talent the Warriors or their fans would probably like to see in […]

The Warriors coaches and players are already looking forward to Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings, and after Friday night's debacle against the L.A. Clippers, that might be the best decision for everybody who cares about the Warriors. There are 82 games in the NBA, which means that even after [...]
It's amazing how winning can change perspective in a flash. The Warriors played a very good game Wednesday night against the Grizzlies and came away with their first win of the season. They did a lot of things well, but I think the most impressive thing to take away from [...]
Game analysis will come later, but for now, here's a box score from tonight's game. Here's a game recap from the Associated Press. If you're interested, check out the play-by-play from the Warriors' win. Obviously, an incredible effort from Monta Ellis, Corey Maggette, Anthony Morrow, among others. I'll have more [...]
Press Democrat Assistant Sports Editor (and rabid NBA fan) Jared Cowley breaks down the latest on the Golden State Warriors and other news from around the Association.
