I have been fortunate enough to conduct my two dream basketball interviews-- Julius Erving will always be my favorite all-time player and after Erving retired Scottie Pippen was my favorite player as a teenager/young adult (and Pippen remains my second favorite all-time player). I enjoy speaking with players and coaches directly and learning about the game from their perspectives without the filtering...
by Brett Pollakoff Filed under: Warriors PHOENIX -- The Warriors played basketball like five individuals wearing the same uniform on Friday, instead of like an NBA team that was anywhere near capable of playing as a cohesive unit. As a result, they were run off the floor by a Suns team that shared the ball to get easy baskets, led by a 20-assist performance from Steve Nash . Besides the fact that...
by Brett Pollakoff Filed under: Suns , Warriors , NBA Live Blogging When the Suns and the Warriors get together, it's always a good time -- uptempo basketball at its finest. Both teams are coming off of close first games of the season, but with decidedly different results. Golden State blew a 10-point halftime lead at home to fall to the Rockets, while Phoenix got an " old white guy shot "...
OAKLAND – Eventually, they'll get around to playing basketball. Don Nelson will surpass Lenny Wilkens as the all-time leader in NBA coaching victories.

This year's rookie will prove that he's more than a pretty...

It's a very good thing we don't care for the NBA (or the Warriors, really) because Golden State is becoming the Oakland Raiders of professional basketball. A timeline: -August: Stephen Jackson publicly asks to be traded. - Sept. 28 : Monta Ellis says he won't share the backcourt with first-round pick Stephen Curry. -Oct. 9: Jackson bursts out at coach Don Nelson in preseason game against the Lakers...
LOS ANGELES -- Don Nelson rarely smiles. Watch him roam the sideline during a Golden State Warriors game and his expression doesn't change. It's like the guy is watching a Stanley Kubrick movie instead of a basketball game.
We know Larry Riley and Don Nelson would be ecstatic to have Chris Bosh in a Warriors jersey this season, but would the Raptors actually trade away their cornerstone even before the 2010 free agent madness? A strange picture indeed. Jump for the details!

Stephen Jackson accurately described the state of the Warriors when he voiced his trade request: "Things are up in the air right now..."

(By Scott Fowler, sfowler@charlotteobserver.com) Stephen Curry was very close to getting exactly what he wanted. Instead, he must want what he has. The Golden State Warriors selected Curry, the former Davidson star guard, with the No.7 overall pick Thursday night at the NBA draft. If Curry had lasted only one pick longer, he likely would have been chosen by the New York Knicks, staying on the East...
