Golden State Warriors

Steve Kerr’s future as an NBA head coach seemed to be in doubt just a few weeks ago, when complications from back surgery caused him to miss 11 consecutive playoff games. Thankfully, Kerr made his return in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, and general manager Bob Myers said that the Warriors’ head coach would be returning for at least next season.

Zaza Pachulia doesn’t mind all the teasing about his large head because it’s full of knowledge.

Two days after winning Finals MVP and his first NBA title, Kevin Durant joined the Bill Simmons Podcast to reflect on his first season in Golden State. The two touched on a number of subjects, but perhaps the most interesting tidbit came during a discussion about Kyrie Irving.

A decade after making the playoffs with the Warriors, Matt Barnes has finally come full circle.

After the Warriors won their second NBA title in three years on Monday night, fans swarmed the streets of downtown Oakland for a raucous celebration.

Curry signed a four-year, $44 million contract in 2013, before he was a two-time MVP, and when it looked like chronic ankle injuries might derail his career. That contract is up this offseason, and Curry, 29, is now eligible for five-year, $205 million extension. According to comments made by Warriors owner Joe Lacob to the San Jose Mercury News, he’s going to get it.

The Warriors are no strangers to buying picks late in the draft, and they’re reportedly interested in doing the same in next week’s NBA Draft. They currently have no picks in this draft, but ESPN’s Zach Lowe said the Dubs are looking into buying a second round pick.

The Warriors are used to being favorites, in terms of both individual games and season championships. For 2017-18, however, the Dubs are reportedly already the highest preseason favorite in the history of any sport.

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games to win their second championship in three seasons. Sleepy Floyd joined The Audible on KNBR 1050 to discuss his thoughts on the win and why he believes the Dubs will be competing for more titles in years to come.

With a championship and a Finals MVP in tow, Kevin Durant has validated his decision to join the Warriors last season in pursuit of a title. Durant was absolutely dominant throughout the series, averaging 35.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.6 blocks pergame in the Finals.
