The Warriors got a win on Tuesday when they very much needed one. For a team already struggling to hang onto the fringes of the respectability, losses to the Wolves, the Kings and the Griz (twice!) would have been hard on the early season psyche. But the Warriors found a way to gut out a [...]

Today, those still tuning in for Warriors basketball do so for more subtle pleasures. Want to see a winning basketball team? Look elsewhere, at least for now. Want to see what happens when rookies, sophomores, walk-ons, and [...]

Forward Rob Kurz, the final cut from Warriors’ training camp, is going to sign with the Warriors today.
Rob Kurz is returning to the Warriors. I talked to him before the Nets game. He was sitting on the team’s bench just chillin’, watching the Warriors warm-up.
He said out of nowhere he got a call from his agent informing him that the Warriors wanted him back. Kurz was all too happy to oblige. He [...]
OAKLAND - The Golden State Warriors have waived forward Rob Kurz, executive vice president of basketball operations Chris Mullin announced Monday.
Kurz, who was originally signed as a free agent Sept.
The Warriors have to get the roster down to 15 by Monday at 3 p.m. They have 16 players in camp (including Monta, who, technically, isn’t in camp). That means one has to go. Who would you cut?
Rob Kurz?
Anthony Morrow?

A few things stood out at today’s practice:
* Stephen Jackson is clearly the best player on the team (which maybe scary to some). In practice, he practically does what he wants and it seems no one can stop him. He may kick the ball around some times, but others you see him posting up and [...]
If the season started today, the starting five would look like this:
PG DeMarcus Nelson
SG Stephen Jackson
SF Corey Maggette
PF Al Harrington
C Andris Biedrins
That’s right. DeMarcus Nelson, as of right now, is the starting point guard. If Chris Paul was in town today, he would be matched up against the undrafted rookie out of Duke. Does [...]
Chinese basketball fans did not get to see Yi Jianlian play. Instead, Rob Kurz gave them a thrill with a buzzer-beating jumper in Beijing. Kurz, an undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame, hit a three-pointer as time expired to give the Warriors a 109-108…
Okay, maybe Rob Kurz’s Friday night game winner in China doesn’t deserve such lofty billing, but it was a nice shot. If nothing else comes from the Warriors’ whirlwind visit to China, at least Kurz will have a good story to tell his grand kids some day. Outside of Kurz’s heroics, there were a few [...]
