Warriors’ lack of physicality exposed in loss to Memphis; Green’s last-minute histrionics; Curry being more aggressive
The Warriors’ 128-119 overtime loss to the Memphis Grizzlies was a shocker, no doubt. Golden State led by 24 points in the third quarter and entered the fourth quarter up 19. But from there it was all bad, with the … Continue reading

Kevin Durant right on the money with his criticism of the NBA over its ‘last two-minute’ reports
Gotta tell you, I really liked what Kevin Durant had to say about the “last two-minute” reports earlier today. Durant was asked about the reports, which acknowledge officiating mistakes in the final two minutes of a game. It’s the NBA’s version … Continue reading

More thoughts on Warriors-Cavs; offensive pecking orders; Curry’s delicate role & who’s Golden State’s go-to guy?
The Cavs-Warriors game was so good, there’s still plenty more to talk about. Golden State let a 14-point, fourth quarter lead slip away and the Cavs walked away with a stunning 109-108 victory in Quicken Loans Arena. On “Warriors WrapUp,” … Continue reading

It was a Christmas Day classic between the Warriors and Cavaliers on Sunday. The game was intense, had a playoff feeling and it very well could have been a preview of the 2017 NBA Finals. The Cavaliers rallied from a … Continue reading

It’s the biggest game of the year and we all saw it coming when the schedule came out: Warriors at Cleveland, Christmas Day. That was obviously the overriding theme to this week’s “NBA This Week” show on 95.7 FM The … Continue reading

“Warriors WrapUp”: Golden State blows out Blazers 135-90; Ian Clark has career-high 23 points; Durant ridiculously efficient
