Golden State Warriors

Steph Curry Doesn’t Hold Back After Ugly Loss

by

Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors didn’t have a great Sunday. The reigning NBA champions were narrowly beaten by the Denver Nuggets 112-110. The Warriors are fighting to stay out of the play-in tournament to start the 2023 playoffs. Curry was visibly upset with the team’s performance during his post-game presser. Last year’s Finals MVP didn’t hold back on his thoughts on how the game went. Needless to say, Curry knows what success in the league looks like. According to Curry, last night wasn’t one of those nights.

“So it’s just a matter of executing, being mindful of what it takes to win that particular game that night, maintain our momentum that we’ve worked hard to create in the first half, but weren’t able to do it,” Curry shared during the post-game. However, Curry did see some things he liked in Sunday’s performance, “Still, the grit and the fight allows us to be one shot away from stealing a game we had no business being in. But we got to come to a realization like if we’re going to win or do anything in a playoff kind of scenario, a game like tonight can’t happen.”

Steph Curry Looking For Better Team Performance At Season’s End

It has been a less-than-ideal 2022-23 campaign for the Warriors. The team has dealt with injuries with Curry. Personal issues have sidelined Andrew Wiggins. All-in-all, the team hasn’t been able to find a grove. However, if this team gets a chance at having everyone together, the possibilities are endless. The Warriors were the greatest dynasty of the 2010s and continue to flex their muscles. A Finals victory over a younger Celtics team last summer proved the Warriors are still dominant.

No one is expecting the Warriors to make a Finals run this season. If anything, most media members believe the Lakers to be the Cinderella of the West. However, counting out the Warriors seems to be a foolish thought. A team with this much chemistry can overcome many obstacles. Although, being on the same page when the Playoffs start will be vital to their success. Do you believe the Warriors can make another run to the NBA Finals? Are there too many obstacles to overcome this season? Please tell us your thoughts on the Warriors in the comment section below. As always, stay here at HNHH for the latest news in sports.

Kevin Durant Reflects On Time With Warriors

by

Kevin Durant made shockwaves when joining the Warriors back in 2016. Durant’s addition to the team clearly made them above and beyond everyone. Indeed the Warriors did become an issue for the league. The franchise won back-to-back titles. Unfortunately, a three-peat wasn’t in the cards as Durant and Klay Thompson’s injuries stopped the dynasty. Durant left Golden State after three years. Signing a deal with the Brooklyn Nets while rehabbing his Achilles injury.

Durant’s time with Golden State was short. However, his presence made for one of the more memorable runs for a franchise in NBA history. Although the team wasn’t desperate to add another superstar. The season before Durant joined the Warriors, the team broke the record for most wins in a single season with 73. Also, that same season, the Warriors eliminated Durant’s Thunder from the playoffs. Fans were quick to judge the decision Durant made to join the Warriors.

Kevin Durant Doesn’t Care What People Think

In a recent interview with The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Durant spoke about his decision to join Golden State. “When it comes to me, people are not going to think in a logical way or simply look at what I’ve done and say that’s it. They gotta add a narrative to it, they gotta push something to discredit me. Once I left to go to the Warriors, it’s been the gymnastics on how to discredit me every step of the way. It’s like, damn, that’s not even fun no more, like, engaging with people because y’all aren’t even being truthful. You move the goalpost every time, you expect the most out of me and if I don’t reach it I’m a failure. It’s like, what’s the problem,” Durant stated to Charania.

The decision was made, and Durant created history with Golden State. Undoubtedly the most dominant team in recent NBA history. If Durant would have decided to stay, there’s no telling how many titles the franchise would have by now. Especially since the team has won one even without Durant. How did you feel when Durant joined Golden State? Did you feel that the move was bad for the league? Tell us how you felt at the time in the comment section below.

Andrew Wiggins Gets An Update From Steve Kerr

by

Andrew Wiggins missed his 20th straight game on Tuesday for the Warriors. Before the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr discussed his absence. In his interview with the media, Kerr stated, “Once he’s back, our training staff will get with him and see where he is [physically].” The team hopes that he will return before the season’s end. Kerr added that there’d been no discussion of shutting Wiggins down for the season.

The reason Wiggins has been absent from the team has been announced as “personal reasons.” Rumors of what the situation could be have been running wild. As Wiggins’ girlfriend had to shoot down rumors of problems in their relationship. While he may not be with the team, Kerr stated that Wiggins has been working out daily. Golden State will need Wiggins at 100% if they can repeat as league champions. The Warriors have been a subpar team without him. The team has posted a 10-9 record in his absence, which is not where they want to be in a stout Western Conference.

When Will Wiggins Return?

Wiggins’s numbers this season have been nearly identical to his production of last season. The Warriors forward is averaging 17 points, 2 assists, and 5 rebounds. The Warriors sit as the sixth seed in the Western Conference. Although, the playoff race is tightening up, and that position isn’t guaranteed. Three of their last five opponents will be fighting for playoff positioning. Bringing back another offensive weapon would be huge for this team.

The NBA playoff race is coming down the backstretch. With teams like the Warriors looking to avoid the Play-In Tournament. Having a team at full health is vital at this point. Where will the Warriors end up seeding-wise when the playoffs begin? Will Andrew Wiggins return? As of today, they would have a tough matchup with the Sacramento Kings. A team that is looking to make a huge statement. Where do you think the Warriors will finish this season? Let us know in the comment section.

by

Klay Thompson is a player that has been quintessential to the Golden State Warriors’ dynasty. While Thompson was injured for two seasons, the Warriors failed to make the playoffs. However, once he returned to the team, they won the title for the fourth time in the last decade. Overall, Thompson is just one of those players who knows what he is doing on the court. He understands his role and he plays it perfectly. He is a three-point machine, and when he gets hot, there is no stopping him.

Although he had a rough start to the season, Thompson has come into his own. Of course, this is great for the Warriors who are in the midst of a playoff bid. Klay always seems to step up his game when the playoffs roll around, and that is exactly what happened last night. The Warriors were playing against the Phoenix Suns, who are one of the best teams in the league right now. However, the Warriors popped off with an 11-point victory. Moreover, Thompson was the star of the show thanks to a 38-point performance. Thirty-three of those points came in the first half.

Kendrick Perkins Delivers Reality Check To The Warriors

by

Kendrick Perkins is one of the more polarizing figures on sports talk television. Overall, he was making headlines for all of the wrong reasons last week. This was due to the fact that he said that Nikola Jokic is a stat-padder. Moreover, he insinuated that the MVP voters are racist. This eventually led to a callout from JJ Redick that went viral. Needless to say, not everyone respects Perkins’ opinion. However, he is someone who can make for great ratings at ESPN, and that is why he remains employed.

With the playoffs on the horizon, there are now plenty of hot takes floating around. This is especially true as it pertains to the Western Conference. There are plenty of teams that could contend, and First Take is trying to figure it all out. For instance, today, Stephen A. Smith and Perkins had a debate about the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers. Overall, they were trying to decipher which team has the best chance at going far in the playoffs.

Kendrick Perkins Speaks

Ultimately, Perkins came through with some love for the Los Angeles Lakers. Of course, he typically does this because LeBron is on the team. Over the years, Perkins has been incredibly biased toward LeBron, and today was no exception. Consequently, Kendrick Perkins even tried to hit the Warriors with a reality check. Simply put, he thinks their time in the spotlight is officially over. “The Golden State Warriors, their championship days are OVER!” Perkins explained. However, this is a team that always finds a way to win, so perhaps Perkins is getting too far ahead of himself right now.

Overall, the Warriors are sixth in the West. Meanwhile, the Lakers are in 10th. Despite this, there are only about two wins separating these two teams right now. It just goes to show that the Western Conference is incredibly open this season. Whether or not the Lakers or the Warriors go further than one another, still remains to be seen. Let us know if you think Perkins is right, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from the sports world.
