Steinmetz: Playoffs still in reach despite losing Davis
- When people are asked what they’d like to hear first, the good news or the bad news, most tend to request the bad news up front.
Steinmetz: The good, bad and ugly of the NBA offseason
- When it comes to free agency in the NBA, there’s still a lot of ballgame remaining. We’re only a week into the official signing period. Still, some teams are off to fast starts and others have stumbled. There is a lot left to come, but it’s never too early to take stock.
Steinmetz: Second-year duo needs to fill void left by Baron
- It is very likely that today will be the day Baron Davis officially becomes a Los Angeles Clipper. What that means in the simplest of terms is that the Warriors won’t have their best player around in 2008-09.
Steinmetz: Baron made Warriors
- Hard as it is to believe, point guard Baron Davis has played his last game for the Warriors.
Steinmetz: Team USA needs inside help
- There will be no mock draft in this space.
Steinmetz: Is Nelson wrong on Wright?
- Warriors coach Don Nelson said recently he’s going to play youngsters Brandan Wright and Marco Belinelli a lot more next season than he did this past one.

Steinmetz: Playoffs can amplify reputations
- Perhaps the best aspect of playoff basketball is that you really get the true measure of players, teams and coaches. The regular season is one thing, the postseason is another.
