Golden State Warriors News

When Andre Iguodala was ruled out for Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, the belief the Warriors have in their 2nd round draft pick, Pat McCaw, probably had something to do with it. And the rookie didn’t disappoint.

The game was never close. Not for a second. The Warriors led by 17 at the end of the first quarter, had 72 points at halftime and hit 9 of their first 12 3-pointers. None of Golden State’s starters played a minute in the fourth quarter. This was a massacre.

Brown was following San Antonio’s police escort into Oracle Arena. In his mind, he had hit the jackpot. He didn’t have to deal with any traffic.But several police officers surrounded Brown’s Range Rover. One cop even got on his loudspeaker to yell at him.

A lot of NBA fans are labeling Zaza Pachulia the dirtiest player in the NBA after his latest incident with Kawhi Leonard, in game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Sunday. The Audible’s Drew Hoffar refutes that and breaks down his top three dirtiest players in NBA history.

It’s no secret that Klay Thompson hasn’t been his usual sharp-shooting self in this year’s playoffs, especially in his last few games. The Warrior’s All-Star shooting guard is currently averaging playoff career lows in field goal percentage (.388), 3-point percentage (.360), player efficiency rating (8.7) and points per game (15).

Jerry West joined The Murph and Mac Show Tuesday sounding off on how the NBA today isn’t physical and how Zaza isn’t entirely to blame for Kawhi Leonard.

Golden State’s Andre Iguodala underwent an MRI Monday on his left knee after a bizarre Game 1 in which he played only 10 minutes total and none in the second half. The MRI came back clean, showing no structural damage.

Jeff Van Gundy doesn’t think Gregg Popovich’s rant on Monday was sometime of act. Van Gundy thinks San Antonio’s coach meant every word when he said Monday about Zaza Pachulia’s knock down of Kawhi Leonard.

The bottom line is that basketball pundits are latching onto ways to discredit the Warriors. They’ll say they play dirty. They’ll say they play opponents who have major injuries. Leonard joins Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving as star players to suffer an injury against Golden State.

Kawhi Leonard left Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals Sunday with an ankle injury exacerbated by landing on Zaza Pachulia’s foot when coming down from a jump shot. The Spurs were leading by 23 when Leonard left the game, and the Warriors ended up coming back to win by 2
