Golden State Warriors

Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers waited until the third quarter to get going. Once they did, the San Antonio Spurs couldn't stop them. Bryant scored all but two of his 27 points after halftime, including a go-ahead, 10-foot jumper in the lane with 23.9...

Center Andrew Bynum underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Wednesday in New York, and the Los Angeles Lakers said they expect him to make a full recovery by the start of training camp next fall. The 30-minute procedure, performed by Dr. David Altchek, consisted...

NBA coach of the year Byron Scott, who has the right to buy out the remainder of his contract and go to the highest bidder next season, showed little interest in leaving the Hornets on Wednesday. "I expect to be here," Scott said. "In my mind right now I hope...

A low-percentage dark horse once again managed to snag the top pick in the NBA draft. Unfortunately, it wasn’t us. With the top two picks heading east, however, the Warriors do have reasons to be happy with the outcome. True draft happiness, however, will only come from finding a difference maker with [...]

We’re down to the Pistons, Celtics, Spurs and Lakers.  I’m disappointed, and not just because the Warriors aren’t among the final teams left standing.  What really worries me is that there’s hardly anything about the remaining teams that reminds me of the Warriors squad as currently assembled.  I held out hope all season long that [...]

Before this blog completes its conversion into a law school contracts exam, I thought I’d change tracks off the hard-core salary cap talk for a post or two. Arguably the biggest factor in the Warriors’ performance next year — Don Nelson — isn’t subject to the salary cap. But before we dive into [...]

Two nights ago, Baron Davis and consigliere Cash Warren received the Youth Mentoring Connection (YMC) Humanitarian Award for their documentary “Made In America.” It examines the history of gang life in South Central LA. As far as the assembled paparazzi were concerned, this news was apparently secondary. Most of the cameras were focused elsewhere, since [...]

Facts. Dennis Richmond was born in 1943. Dennis Richmond is a Vietnam vet. Dennis Richmond’s first job at KTVU was as a typist. Dennis Richmond studied journalism at Columbia. Dennis Richmond broadcast the aftermath of the 1989 Loma-Prieta Earthquake from the Channel 2 parking lot. Dennis Richmond went on a ride-along with the Blue Angels [...]

So, it’s two days later and I’m pretty sure it’s not just me. The Bay to Breakers has gotten wilder. Nakedness abounds. Boozing is at an all time high. And speaking of high, Cheech Marin might as well be the honorary race director next year. The fact that the organizers still manage to have a [...]

Robin Lopez. Seriously. That won’t happen. Still, you have to be concerned about the Warriors chances to nab a difference-maker picking last in the lottery. Maybe Darrell Arthur from Kansas falls. Or Kevin Love from UCLA. Chances are they’ll end up with a project like Lavale McGee from Nevada, who is Patrick O’Bryant with a bit [...]

According to a source with knowledge of extension negotiations between Baron Davis and Warriors management, the Warriors are playing hardball with their star point guard. President Rowell and VP Mullin came at Baron with an “insulting” offer - so much so that B. Diddy is questioning whether the Warriors view him as their franchise player. Tough [...]

You know those ads that the NBA is running with the split faces? One half is one player and the other half is another player, but they are playing the same thing? I just got word that Baron has one. Yes, the NBA is only using players in the postseason, and Baron isn’t in it. Guess [...]
