If the Splash Brothers age like wine, Golden State is in for an awesome ride. At 49-years-olds combined, the duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have Warriors fans rockin’ Oracle Arena like it’s 2007 all over again. Curry, who turns 26 in March, wished his running-mate a Happy 24th Birthday Saturday. Happy Birthday to my backcourt mate and member of the Splash Brothers. Let's get this win.

Sprung: Mark Jackson leads Golden State’s rise to an elite team

by

Take it from one of the best emerging young players in the NBA, Warriors point guard Stephen Curry, about Mark Jackson’s impact as Golden State’s head coach. “It’s not a coincidence that as time goes on we’re becoming a better team,” Curry told Sheridan Hoops on Wednesday night. “And that’s in large part due to his approach to the day-to-day and how he manages every single guy in this locker room.” It’s very rare to see a team and its head coach

PODCAST: Previewing clash of Western Conference Titans Golden State and San Antonio

by

There is a lot of excitement in the Bay Area regarding the Golden State Warriors, who are atop the Western Conference alongside the San Antonio Spurs — their opponent tonight in a nationally televised game. (The Warriors are 5-point underdogs, which seems a bit much for me. I also like the over 204 — not that I am wagering or anything.) The missing link for this team has been Andre Iguodala, whose offense has been spectacular for a team averaging more than

The Chicago Bulls survived the New York Knicks by a score of 82-81 in the East, and the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Golden State Warriors 126-115 in a high-scoring affair that saw Chris Paul score 42 points and Stephen Curry drop 38.
