Dunleavy’s shot clearly too late. If the fourth quarter were 12 minutes and two tenths of a second long, the Warriors would be 31-39 and still in the playoff hunt. Unfortunately, that’s not the case, and Golden State dropped a big game at home against the Hornets. After a... Link

Sure the Warriors lost, but this isn't a loss I mind. A one point overtime loss on the road without JRich is nothing to be ashamed about. For the most part they played tough. Are they headed to the playoffs? Well that's another story. Boxscore "What I have to... Link

New York Daily News- Rings of conflict Golden State wants Ron Artest, even if he looks like a questionable fit with coach Mike Montgomery in only his second NBA season and the Warriors lacking strong personalities in the locker room to keep Artest in place. So far, the Warriors... Link
I promise to come back full force on Monday. If not, I'll give you your money back. I'm not yet ready to pronounce the Kings as back - 3 out of 4 is cool and all, but it was the Clippers twice and Boston. And we're still five games... Link
Artest rumors not helping Montgomery on sideline from Mercury The ground is shaking beneath Mike Montgomery, and it can't all be blamed on rampaging Ron Artest rumors.

Recently some FreeDarko readers have pointed out that we haven’t devoted many words lately to actually covering this NBA season. While it may be true that our last 37 posts have focused on profiling individual players (“profiles in courage” according to Shoals), I hardly think we can be blamed... Link
Tis the season to see folly. And so goes the current Sonics season. The Sonics dropped another game last night–that they typically won last season–when Baron Davis’ prayer from somewhere near Aurora Avenue barely ruffled the net as it went through the hoop giving the Warriors their 11th win... Link
