The Philadelphia 76ers have landed much needed bench help. A trade with the Golden State Warriors sees the Sixers acquire Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III in exchange for three second-round draft picks, as reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Golden State Warriors are listening to trade offers for All-Star guard D’Angelo Russell, as reported by Marc Stein.
The NBA’s Christmas Day schedule is a great tradition. For over a decade, the league have been showing five consecutive games on 25th December, and 2019 is no different.
Eric Paschall wasn’t supposed to be a key player for the Warriors. If Steph Curry, D’Angelo Russell, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney were all healthy this season, Paschall would have barely been heard of. He’d have been a handy bench player, maybe getting the occasional start when one of the big four rested.
The Golden State Warriors are in a nightmare scenario. Steph Curry’s broken hand will keep him out for three months, Klay Thompson may not play this season. Andre Iguodala and Kevin Durant are on other teams. Their depth is arguably the worst in the NBA.
This offseason we have seen the Warriors dynasty get dismantled which had us thinking – where do they rank amongst the all-time greatest dynasties?
Shifting Leonard to the Western Conference alters the balance of power once again. The East is relatively weak, or so it seems.
As they rode off into the sunset the Warriors took stock of their losses, especially on their injury list. Klay Thompson tore his ACL in game 6, and the NBA’s pantomime villain Kevin Durant suffered a torn Achilles in game 5. A harsh sense of schadenfreude surrounded the Durant injury. After all, the prevailing opinion was that he had left the Oklahoma City Thunder to join a 73-9 superteam and ease to multiple titles.
Toronto Raptors won their first NBA championship in Oakland on Thursday night, defeating the Golden State Warriors in Game Six of the NBA Finals.
Golden State Warriors lost the NBA Finals to the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. With Kevin Durant sidelined, Klay Thompson suffered a knee injury in the third quarter that was later revealed to be a torn ACL and will rule him out for most of the 2019/20 campaign.
Toronto Raptors won their first NBA title on Thursday night, winning Game Six in Oracle Arena to defeat the Golden State Warriors 4-2 in a dramatic, often extraordinary, series.
Kevin Durant practised with the Golden State Warriors for the first time since his injury at the weekend. Durant’s availability, or lack of, has been the story of the 2019 NBA Finals as the Toronto Raptors have taken a commanding 3-1 lead against the Warriors.
Stephen Curry scored 47 points with eight rebounds and seven assists in Game Three. It was not enough, as the Warriors lost 123-109.
Well, here we are again. Another season in the books. Thirty(-ish) teams came into this season with high hopes and dreams of getting their hands on the coveted Naismith trophy at the end of it all. Out of those thirty teams we’re now down to two. The Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.
In the games that Curry has started since Durant went down, the former back-to-back MVP has scored at least 30 points in each game. When Durant is not playing and Curry has control over the team, the Warriors become a passing, moving, cutting and shooting monster. Players playing harder and for each other.
