Warriors Take On Table-topping Vics

... call-up to Australia’s T 20 squad that lost their three-match series 2-1 to Sri Lanka, he couldn’t hold onto his spot ahead of fast-bowlers Cameron Green, David Moody and Simon Mackin. With WA's impressive battery of quicks, there was no place in the squad either for Richardson, while Nathan Coulter-Nile and Joel Paris continue to recover from injury. Victoria, meanwhile, have named Seb Gotch to make his Sheffield Shield debut against the Warriors and he is expected to take the gloves from injured 'keeper Sam Harper. Harper was concussed during Victoria’s recent Shield over South Australia earlier, after being accidentally struck by Redbacks batsman Jake Lehmann. The 20-year-old’s condition continues to be monitored but is improving, having made an appearance to support Victoria in their Futures League clash in Glenelg, and he has been released from hospital.

Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr has a few nitpicks with the Warriors on both offense and defense that he’d like to see corrected in the post-All Star Game schedule. Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr has a few nitpicks with the. The Warriors’ problems and challenges mount daily. The latest dire situation facing head coach Steve Kerr is overcoming the dreaded All-Star Weekend Overload. There were four Warriors on the West All-Star team, and their schedules were so jam-packed with appearances, parties and festivities that the only rest they got was in the game, playing “defense.”. Stephen Curry was so fried by his hectic itinerary that he famously laid down on the court and took a nap while the action swirled around him. That would have earned him Defensive Player of the Game if such an award existed. Kerr handled the potential burnout ...

Warriors Reportedly Pushing For Shaquille O'neal To Tone Down The Javale Mcgee Hate

... to express concern about TNT’s yearslong Mc Gee coverage on the “Shaqtin’ a Fool” segment on the popular “Inside The NBA” show, with the team contending that the ongoing negative portrayal of the veteran center is doing unnecessary damage to Mc Gee’s reputation. A Turner source confirmed the discussions with the Warriors and told ESPN that “the matter has been discussed internally” after a Twitter feud erupted Thursday night between O’Neal and Mc Gee. This news might sound like it should be appearing in a grade school letter to the parents but believe it or not this is something that is happening in the NBA. The Warriors contacted O’Neal’s bosses to complain about his treatment of Mc Gee. But it could be equated to a grade school setting since O’Neal is truly bullying Mc Gee. And while this all might sound rather silly, it does have some merit. ...

Andrew Bogut Could Re-sign With The Warriors Thanks To A Cba Loophole

... follows: after a team trades any player, they cannot reacquire that player for one calendar year if he is waived. However, the rule only applies to the most recent team to trade him, not every team, per Wojnarowski. Since Dallas is the most recent team to deal Bogut now, rather than the Warriors, Golden State would be eligible. At least on NBA Twitter, many people had the impression that the Warriors would not be eligible to re-sign him. In fact, they are — what isn’t clear is whether they’re interested. NBA's reacquisition rule doesn't apply to GSW, because Dallas becomes most recent to waive Bogut. G-State undecided on its Bogut interest. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@Woj Vertical NBA) February 24, 2017. Dallas was actually the team that initially inspired this rule after attempting to use this loophole to trade away Jerry Stackhouse — knowing he would be waived — and re-sign him for the playoff run. (Stackhouse told reporters that ...

Dominance Of Warriors, Cavaliers Makes For Underwhelming Trade Deadline

... Raptors, seeking to pull out of their free-fall, acquired a fading Serge Ibaka to shore up their vacant power forward slot and added P. J. Tucker as well, a signal that the organization has come to the realization that their free-agent splurge on De Marre Carroll a year ago was a gigantic flop and he’ll never again be the player he was with Atlanta. The Wizards, meanwhile, added some desperately needed firepower off the bench by acquiring Bojan Bogdanovic from Brooklyn. That was it, though. Outside of Cousins, no All-Star caliber player changed addresses. All the big names that were tossed around in the rumor mill the past month, whether it was Paul Millsap, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Blake Griffin or Carmelo Anthony…none of them will be changing addresses. We couldn’t even get ...

Cavs, Warriors Are The Best Here, Too

... of the school, one of the largest in the province in terms of student population. Perhaps, but not entirely so. If that was the case, the Warriors’ boys teams would be ranked No. 1. Rather, like the pro teams who boast depth in the organization, Moore credits a strong junior high feeder system that’s led to the Warriors’ string of wins. “You need support at the junior high level,” he said. “If the clubs and schools that feed into the high schools have quality coaching and strong programs, you’re going to see that at the high school level.”. In the case of the Warriors, the Beaconsfield junior high program, Moore said, has a “nice continuity” with Waterford Valley. Coaches who have worked with Moore, a Newfoundland and Labrador Basketball Association provincial team coach, and know the systems he chooses to run are now working with Grade 8 and 9 teams. Hence, when the players graduate from the Saxons program and move into the Waterford Valley fold, they have an idea of the systems Moore ...

... guard to “get his feet wet.”. Williams made his first two 3-pointers of the night, from the corner, and scored a team-high 27 points as the Rockets trashed the Pelicans 129-99. What we’ve learned over the past 72 hours from the Rockets is that they’re coming after the Golden State Warriors for supremacy in the Western Conference. Not figuratively, but literally. Houston’s moves this week, acquiring Williams and trading two little-used bench players to clear $3.5 million in cap space so a veteran defender can be signed, show the Rockets are ready. James Harden, center, along with Clint Capela and Eric Gordon, welcomed Lou Williams, left, to the Rockets on Thursday, when Williams scored 27 points in his Houston debut.
