Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler combined for 67 points against the Orlando Magic at Kia Center on Tuesday night, but it wasn't enough as the Golden State Warriors fell to a 121-113 defeat despite the absence of Paolo Banchero.

The inconsistent offensive production beyond Curry and Butler continues to be a concern for the Warriors, and is one that might not necessarily be addressed by the return of Jonathan Kuminga.

STEPHEN. FREAKING. CURRY.

The 2x MVP has lifted the Golden State Warriors to a thrilling 109-108 NBA Cup victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night. Curry dropped nine threes and 49 points, with that coming just 48 hours after posting 46 points against the same opposition.

Aaron Gordon went for an astonishing 50 points on a remarkable 10-of-11 shooting from 3-point range, yet it was the brilliance of Stephen Curry who stole the show late in a thrilling overtime win for the Warriors in their home opener.

Plenty to talk about from this game beyond Curry and Gordon, with the performances of Al Horford, Jonathan Kuminga and Will Richard also major storylines in the 137-131 win.

A 56-point explosion from Stephen Curry has helped the Golden State Warriors to their fifth-straight win following a comeback victory over the Magic in Orlando on Thursday.

It’s their defense that may be the most impressive aspect following the Jimmy Butler trade, having ranked first in the league over the last seven games.

The Golden State Warriors celebrated Andre Iguodala's jersey celebration with another dominant win, taking down Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks in a 126-102 victory at Chase Center on Sunday.

As the Golden State Warriors prepare to resume their season against the Sacramento Kings on Friday, we take a look at everything you need to know from the state of the roster, the remaining schedule, what the rotation should look like, and plenty more!

Is Draymond Green onto something in terms of the Warriors rising into championship contention, or was that just an outrageous and unrealistic All-Star break take?

On this episode I’m joined by Mat Hanifan of Hot Hot Hoops to get a Miami Heat perspective on the blockbuster Jimmy Butler trade.

After discussing All-Star weekend and ideas to fix the format, we get into initial reactions to the Butler deal, where the Warriors could get to with the 6x All-Star now in the mix, and the expected roles for Andrew Wiggins and Kyle Anderson as they begin their tenure with the Heat.

The Golden State Warriors continue to finalize their roster in the wake of the Jimmy Butler trade, with the franchise reportedly set to sign Kevin Knox II coming out of the All-Star break.

The former ninth overall pick has struggled mightily to contribute to winning basketball throughout his six-year NBA career to date, but there's reasons to believe why things may be different for Knox with the Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors came crashing back to earn on Wednesday night, falling 111-107 to a depleted Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center.

Plenty of fan reaction to some horrendous officiating, a lacklustre performance from Stephen Curry, and more ongoing Buddy Hield criticism after another woeful game from the veteran sharpshooter.

The Golden State Warriors remain perfect with Jimmy Butler thanks to a 125-111 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum on Monday. The 6x All-Star continues to deliver huge impact for his new teams, and perhaps most specifically to Stephen Curry who exploded for another 38 points after 34 on Saturday.

Plenty of optimism and excitement surrounding the Warriors on this post-game live!

Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler inspired an extraordinary second-half turnaround to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 132-111 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.

The star pair combined for 59 points, with Butler setting a franchise record for most made free-throws in a Warrior debut. Curry and Butler displayed the perfect balance of inside and outside scoring that suggests Golden State could be a tough team to beat over the remainder of the season!

The Golden State Warriors have traded for 6X All-Star Jimmy Butler, sending out Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson, Lindy Waters III and a top 10 protected 2025 first-round pick.

There's mixed reaction to Butler's arrival, and the fact the Warriors have given him a new two-year, $112 million contract extension. Plus, do Golden State have more moves on the horizon over the final 15-16 hours before the trade deadlin

Check out the reaction from the live stream to all the latest reports on the Golden State Warriors' pursuit of Kevin Durant, including the potential of Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga being involved in the trade.

Plus, what would the Warriors look like and would they be contenders with a KD trade? Should they look at cheaper options like Zion Williamson or Myles Turner instead?

In this live stream we discussed the latest reports linking the Warriors to Kevin Durant and LeBron James, plus all other realistic (and unrealistic) options that could be available over the next couple of days!

With Zach LaVine off to the Sacramento Kings, De'Aaron Fox headed to the San Antonio Spurs and Jimmy Butler rejecting them outright, can the Golden State Warriors do anything significant here over the next few days?

Is taking a risk on Zion Williamson their best possible option now ahead of the trade deadline? Do the Warriors really need to consider tanking the rest of the season? Thanks to everyone that contributed to the live stream!

Trying to make sense of the wild Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis trade...with plenty of differing opinions on who has won perhaps the biggest and most shocking trade in NBA history.

What does it mean for the Warriors? Could they get LeBron James as speculation renews on a possible move to Golden State after this remarkable move? How would Klay Thompson feel having seen the Mavericks trade their best player?

Speculation surrounding a Zach LaVine trade to Golden State continues to gain momentum, with the possibility of the Warriors acquiring the 2x All-Star without giving up Andrew Wiggins.

What would the trade look like? What would it mean for the remainder of this season, and what about Golden State’s payroll moving forward? There’s so many questions to unpack surrounding LaVine on this episode!

Head to YouTube and let us know in the comments whether you want the 29-year-old on the Warriors, and if you’re happy for the franchise to gut much of their depth to make it happen!

Amid trade speculation and their potential to be moved over the next week, veteran pair Andrew Wiggins and Kevon Looney delivered huge performances for the Golden State Warriors in a come from behind 116-109 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chase Center on Wednesday night!

Stephen Curry went scoreless in the second-half as the Golden State Warriors suffered another disappointing 118-108 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers at Chase Center on Saturday night.

There were more positives from the Warrior younger players off the bench, but they couldn’t overcome Steph’s struggles and a huge 36-point, 13-rebound performance from Anthony Davis.

In one of the most surprising and exciting performances of the Golden State Warriors season, rookie center Quinten Post and second-year forward Gui Santos led the hosts to a 131-106 victory over the visiting Chicago Bulls on Thursday night.

So what does it mean for the Warrior rotation now and moving forward once Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga return? What does it mean for Golden State’s trade plans ahead of the February 6 deadline? It’s all unpacked in a huge post-game live episode!

Monday's game between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics brought a perfect contrast between a beautifully executed roster build and one with significant flaws that must be addressed.

As the Warriors fell to a 40-point blowout loss to the defending NBA champions, the heat goes on Mike Dunleavy Jr. for his failure to build a coherent roster around franchise superstar Stephen Curry.

The Golden State Warriors finally got the better of the Washington Wizards on Saturday, but it didn't come without consequence as Stephen Curry and Draymond Green each suffered concerning injury issues.

On a positive note, Andrew Wiggins delivered a huge performance and Dennis Schroder had his best game in a Warrior uniform as the hosts staved off the Wizards despite 38 points from Jordan Poole.

The Warriors have reportedly inquired about five different potential centers as trade targets before the deadline, but which player they should be prioritizing to try and salvage their mediocre season to date?

Despite being without Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski and Kyle Anderson, the Golden State Warriors went into Minnesota and claimed an important 116-115 victory to close out their road-trip on Wednesday!

Stephen Curry delivered once again, but it may have been Andrew Wiggins' aggressiveness that proved most pivotal for the Warriors in the non-Curry minutes. The under pressure Buddy Hield found a response, keeping intact Golden State's perfect record when the veteran sharpshooter scores 18+ points.

The Golden State Warriors have hit a new low in their season after a 104-101 loss to a Toronto Raptors team who entered having won just one of their past 16 games.

Where do the Warriors go from here? Is Steve Kerr’s role as head coach now well and truly under pressure? What, if any moves are going to make any meaningful difference? Do we dare raise the prospects of Stephen Curry’s future with the franchise? It’s all discussed as fans vent their frustration on this post-game live!

Playing without their four best players and two further rotation members, the Golden State Warriors were always going to struggle against the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday.

The Warriors fought hard but were ultimately outgunned in a 108-96 defeat, so are there any major elements to takeaway given the absences? Perhaps Quinten Post's brief but exciting cameo should pay more credence to Golden State's need for a stretch five before the deadline!

The Golden State Warriors have bounced back from two horrible losses to record an important 107-104 victory over the red-hot Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday.

Playing without Jonathan Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins, and with Stephen Curry held to 5-of-21 shooting, the Warriors needed an out-of-the-box surprise performance from someone. That's exactly what Gui Santos provided, with the Brazilian forward emerging as an unlikely hero and key talking point from the three-point win!

Things went from bad to worse for the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night, falling 114-98 to the Miami Heat at home despite the visitors having come off a double overtime game 24 hours earlier.

Will the Warriors ongoing issues, particularly on the offensive end, force Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the front office into immediate action? Plenty of talking points to discuss on this post-game live!

On this episode I'm joined by Uriah Young of NBA Now & Then whose podcast specializes in bridging the gap between past and present to reveal fascinating and thought-provoking comparisons of players from different eras.

Saturday’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies has quickly turned sour for the Golden State Warriors, with disappointing news of Jonathan Kuminga’s injury compounded by Sunday’s disastrous 129-99 loss to the Sacramento Kings.

Where to next for the Warriors? What are the implications of Kuminga’s injury for he and the team? Plus, fans continue to clamour for a Nikola Vucevic trade in the wake of the 30-point blowout loss!

On this episode I'm joined by Pippen Ain't Easy's Austin McGee to discuss the latest reports from The Athletic linking the Warriors to Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic.

Austin tells us whether Vucevic's huge offensive production is real so far this season, particularly the shooting numbers that see the 2x All-Star drilling 43.6% of his 3-pointers.

We also get into the defensive concerns, whether they'd be mitigated in Golden State by the presence of Draymond Green, and what the Bulls would be after in a trade with the Warriors.

Check out Austin over on X/Twitter (@austinmcgee15) or check out his work on Pippen Ain't Easy!

The Golden State Warriors have recorded back-to-back wins for the first time since November, defying injury concerns to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 121-113 at Chase Center on Saturday night.

Andrew Wiggins led the way with a huge second-half in the absence of Stephen Curry and Jonathan Kuminga, while Lindy Waters III broke out of a slump with 16 points off the bench. Kuminga's concerning ankle injury will have implications, particularly in regard to trade discussions as we discuss the latest on Jimmy Butler and Nikola Vucevic.

Offensive issues were again the story for the Golden State Warriors as they shot less than 34% in a 113-95 loss to the league-leading Cleveland Cavaliers at Chase Center on Monday night.

The performance of Trayce Jackson-Davis was certainly a talking point for fans after the game, as was the potential of Moses Moody after a team-high 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting. Towards the end of the post-game live, the chatter descended into more on what the Warriors should do with Jonathan Kuminga ahead of the February 6 trade deadline.

It took less than 24 hours for Jonathan Kuminga to match his career-high in scoring, but this time it came alongside Stephen Curry and in a Golden State Warriors win over the Phoenix Suns.

The fourth-year forward was massive with 34 points and nine rebounds, once again leading to the question of whether this is the true turning point for Kuminga?

The Golden State Warriors fought back to make it a game down the stretch, but Jonathan Kuminga’s career-high 34 points wasn’t enough in a 102-92 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night.

Can the Warriors strike a balance when Kuminga plays alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green? Can Dennis Schroder turn around his horrible start in a Golden State jersey? A heap of questions to answer plus the inevitable slide into trade speculation on this post-game live!

Jonathan Kuminga delivered one of his best performances of the season with a game-high 26 points against the Indiana Pacers, but it wasn’t enough for the Golden State Warriors in a 111-105 defeat on Monday night at Chase Center.

Stephen Curry was again kept quiet and Andrew Wiggins was inefficient, with the fourth-quarter offense and free-throw shooting again proving problematic for the Warriors as they dropped their 10th game in the past 13 outings.

The Golden State Warriors delivered a much needed win on Saturday over the Minnesota Timberwolves, coming largely thanks to a 31-point, 10-assist performance from Stephen Curry that included a 11-point barrage in 90 seconds late in the game.

Trayce Jackson-Davis and Brandin Podziemski also impressed in the 10-point victory, with plenty of talking points emanating from a crucial win over a Western Conference rival!

The Golden State Warriors delivered one of their worst performances in recent memory on Thursday in Memphis, falling to the Grizzlies 144-93 in an unmitigated disaster for the franchise.

What does the loss say about Stephen Curry after one of the worst performances of his career, as well as the new back court of he and Dennis Schroder who had a forgettable Warrior debut? 

Trying to make sense of everything that went wrong for Golden State in this post-game live, and how their current issues can be addressed internally and/or via a significant trade!

On this episode we hit on some big Warriors issues, namely the Jonathan Kuminga-Draymond Green starting power forward conundrum and the early season form of Brandin Podziemski.

Plus, the difficulty of Golden State trying to trade for Jimmy Butler, and who should be in and out of the rotation when the Warriors play the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night!

Stephen Curry led the way with 28 points in less than 27 minutes against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday, but it was Jonathan Kuminga's ejection and Will Richard's impressive first start that may have been the biggest talking points.

Plus, a crashing down to earth for Brandin Podziemski after Sunday's performance against the Lakers, and more on the Warriors center rotation a week out from the start of the regular season.

The Golden State Warriors suffered their eighth loss in 10 games after being torched by Luka Doncic, Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks in a 143-133 defeat at Chase Center on Sunday night.

Plenty of talking points from another Warrior defeat, including the controversial starting lineup, the form of Brandin Podziemski and Gary Payton II, plus how Dennis Schroder will solve some of Steve Kerr's issues. Plus, after the deal officially went down for the Nets guard, we look at what's next on the trade horizon including cooking up a 3-team transaction for Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic.

The Golden State Warriors are set to acquire Dennis Schroder from the Brooklyn Nets once De'Anthony Melton officially becomes trade eligible on Sunday!

All the instant reaction to the move -- what does Schroder bring to the Warriors, which current Golden State players will be impacted, and what's next for the front office in regard to another potential trade?

The Golden State Warriors have been linked to a number of players over recent days, from one of the greatest ever in LeBron James, a 6x All-Star in Jimmy Butler, and a trio of Nets players as they look to dive into rebuild mode.

It's not a question of if the Warriors will make a trade, but rather when and who for. What move/s should the Warriors make?
