Draft dodger, criminal, rapist Donald Trump, folks.
The battered and bruised Warriors battled for an overtime win tonight, one that could inspire the team going forward (via @montepoole.bsky.social)
Steve Kerr shared with @957thegame.bsky.social why he initially got off social media entirely, and hasn't looked back since
The only way for the Warriors to salvage the Kristaps Porziņģis trade is to ace their offseason and create a path to recovery next season (via @montepoole.bsky.social)
Might surprise some of you: With Steph Curry on the bench in street clothes Monday night, the Warriors lost their grip on a victory during . . . the non-Draymond minutes

@montepoole.bsky.social delivers the takeaways from the Warriors' blowout loss to the Lakers ⬇️
Asked about the state of his ailing right knee, Stephen Curry tells ABC 'it's gonna be a little longer.'
Which suggests the Warriors, who will issue an update on Sunday, will be without Curry for a few more games beyond Monday vs. Clippers
Best regular-season NBA game I've ever seen in person. From tipoff to halftime to final buzzer, had all the elements of great theater - including a mind-blowing conclusion.
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) returned to practice today after missing last 3 games, per Warriors coach Steve Kerr. Listed as questionable for Saturday vs Lakers
Each time De'Anthony Melton steps on the court is an opportunity to raise his value, and it’s pointing toward the sky (via @montepoole.bsky.social)
Warriors post improbable win, a 128-117 stunning of the Nuggets.
Brandin Podziemski takes a lot of hits, some deserved, but he was the catalyst. Put the game away in the 4th quarter, scoring 15 of his 18 points and grabbing 8 of his 15 rebounds.
He and Al Horford carried big weight
Kristaps Porzingis is now OUT today against the Nuggets with an illness @nbcswarriors.bsky.social
Now THAT's a headline.
"The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents"

Strange times for Draymond Green. Expendable but still here. Turns 36 next month. Jimmy out for season. Steph out indefinitely. Hopes dashed. Warriors have lost 8 of 12. Does the team's firebrand have enough to lift himself and the diminished roster?

“Obviously, I’d love to be playing right now.”
Steph Curry spoke to @daltonjohnson.bsky.social and provided an update on his knee injury as well as his goal for recovery
Colbert and Kimmel have met the moment under our slide into fascism in a way that institutions, press, and the Democratic Party haven’t
CBS said in a statement: "THE LATE SHOW was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico. The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger th FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmin Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled. THE LATE SHOW decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal-time options."
On tonight’s show, Colbert made it crystal clear that every word of this CBS statement is a lie. In fighting back like this, Colbert continues to show more bravery than nearly every Republican in Congress as well as most of corporate America, higher ed & big media.
Al Horford still represents the identity the Warriors have to fully embrace to be a team full of feisty competitors (via @daltonjohnson.bsky.social)
Steph Curry will not play tonight vs Grizzlies, Wednesday vs Spurs or Sunday in the NBA All-Star Game, per Warriors coach Steve Kerr
Right man won the Super Bowl MVP
5 field goals is special but don't happen if the offense (aka Kenneth Walker III) can't do the grunt work to generate ideal field position for the specialists
Interesting, eh?🤔
A comeback for the ages.
@montepoole.bsky.social delivers the takeaways from the Warriors' stunning win over the Suns ⬇️
Warriors 101-97 win at Phoenix tonight was a triumph of will:
-Outscored the Suns 25-7 over final 10 minutes
-Held them to 1 field goal over final 7 minutes
-Outrebounded them 16-4 in fourth quarter
Gritty stuff for a team that hours ago traded 3 popular teammates and is without Steph Curry
The Warriors get, at best, a B grade for the acquisition of Kristaps Porzingis. Could drop to a C. Or even lower.

One of many disappointing aspects of our White House coverage is the silence of media to his tendency to disparage women trying to do their jobs. Downright cowardly. And, yes, I realize a chivalrous response in our current landscape could jeopardize job security
JK gets a chance to find his best self. Hope he does
FYI Warriors fans:
Kristaps Porzingis has missed more games (100) over the past 2-plus seasons than Anthony Davis (67)
Lopping off much of the Washington Post - particularly its esteemed sports section - days before the Olympics and Super Bowl is an emphatic way for ownership/management to tell the public that journalistic failure always was the plan
