Golden State Warriors News

On Wednesday, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue made an interesting, and somewhat head scratching, remark when asked about defending the Boston Celtics’ offense without Isiah Thomas.

A Warriors assistant general manager has been officially named as the Atlanta Hawks’ new general manager and head of basketball operations the team announced on Thursday morning.

We learned this year Kevin Durant is a very complex individual and remember he hasn’t been to a title since 2012. LeBron has been to seven straight. How much does this help the Cavs?

Speaking with reporters on Wednesday, the Cavaliers’ head coach said that the Boston Celtics, currently without All-Star guard Isiah Thomas, are harder to defend than the Golden State Warriors, who have beaten opponents by an average of 16.3 points while winning their first 12 games of the postseason.

When will the Warriors run of success end? How many familiar faces will return to the fold next season? Will Steve Kerr return to the sideline with the same success he’s had thus far in his coaching career? Who cares, just enjoy it while it lasts.

Warriors star forward Kevin Durant took some heat after commenting on the lack of competitiveness in the NBA playoffs, telling fans not to watch if they’re bored. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith addressed Durant’s comments, calling him selfish, disrespectful, and questioning his character which left plenty of room for discussion on Episode 6 of the Road to Larry O’ podcast.

There are those who say, “he wouldn’t make tens of millions without people watching.” That’s true, but clearly people watch, and he knows it. Arrogance? I see it as correctly assessing the lay of the land. Anyway, what’s he supposed to do, miss shots on purpose so games are closer and we have fresh bread and circus?

Warriors assistant general manager Travis Schlenk has become a frontrunner and entered into contract talks with the Atlanta Hawks to become their new general manager sources have told The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Warriors just went 12-0 in the playoffs. Why aren’t they celebrating?

Now the Warriors play the waiting game, as they let the Cavaliers and Celtics finish out the Eastern Conference Finals. Drew Hoffar and Rudy Ortiz of the Audible, KNBR 1050’s morning show, discuss the biggest challenges the Warriors will face in the Finals.
