JaVale McGee is considered the best prankster on the Golden State Warriors’ roster. So when Halloween rolled around, expectations were high for the 7-foot center with a witty sense of humor.

It’s safe to say Warriors head coach Steve Kerr thinks highly of Gregg Popovich. Kerr won two titles playing under Popovich as a member of the Spurs from 1998-2001 and 2002-2003, and has cited him along with Phil Jackson, as one of his most important mentors and teachers.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Warriors great Al Attles has been released from the hospital and is much improved, according to his son.

The team will not pick-up Kevon Looney’s fourth-year option this offseason, but will pick up the third-year option of last year’s first round pick Damian Jones, according to a report by Chris Haynes of ESPN.

Jordan Bell has already stated he wants to take part in this year’s dunk contest. After his first two weeks in the league, who wouldn’t want to see that?

Warriors rebound from a devesating loss to the Detroit Pistons to defeat the Los Angeles Clippers 141-113 on Monday night.

“At some point, the ball just has to matter,” Kerr said. “The game has to matter enough for us to win.”

After delaying talks last offseason, Steve Kerr and the Warriors are expected to work out a long-term contract extension next offseason according to an exclusive report by Tim Kawakami of The Athletic.

As long as Kerr doesn’t suffer any major setbacks this season, he’s planning on staying with the Warriors for a long time

The Golden State Warriors shot 57 percent from the field and had three different players score at least 27 points.
