Radnich: Giants need help on offense, not in the bullpen
That was about as bad a road trip as you could have with 64 games left in the season, but all things considered, you would still rather be the Giants than the Dodgers. At the start of the month, San Francisco was six games up on the Dodgers, and amidst all the injuries suffered, by…

Murph: MLB-best Giants still have unanswered questions
Why, hello first-place San Francisco Giants. Apologies for the absence in contact. We here at KNBR have been away; swept up in a tsunami of 73 wins, 3 games to 1 comebacks, 3 games to 1 collapses and a trip to the Hamptons to see a guy named Kevin Durant. Feels like the start of…

Radnich: Draymond will slow down off the court
The disappointing end to the season followed by the offseason of landing the coveted free agent in Kevin Durant has been slightly marred by Draymond Green’s off the court antics. Green’s intensity is what makes him a great player and even a better leader for the Dubs. As talented as Golden State is they have…

Fitz: Second-half schedule will test lucky and good Giants
It is always better to be good AND lucky. And 90 games through the MLB marathon the Giants are both. Amazing pitching by Madison Bumgarner and Johnny Cueto. Solid seasons by Buster Posey, Brandon Belt, Brandon Crawford. Nice pickups in Jeff Samardjzia and Denard Span. They put up baseball’s best record despite a swath of…

Radnich: New-look Warriors will learn from last year and focus only on title
The Warriors had a season for the ages last year, breaking the Bulls’ record for regular season wins. The addition of Kevin Durant should actually make them better, but don’t expect 73 wins again. This team doesn’t have to prove itself to anyone. The core of the team left from last season — comprised of…

Murph: Durant helps Dub Nation turn page from ‘The Collapse’ to ‘The Future’
Don’t thank Kevin Durant for bringing his eye-popping resume or his staggering talent set or his limitless shooting range to the Golden State Warriors. Thank him, mostly, for changing the way we think about the Bay Area’s basketball team at its very core. By verifying that he will be a Warrior for years to come…

Brooks: Step out of your sports comfort zone this weekend with a trifecta of world-class events
July — A.K.A. The Dead Zone. No basketball, no hockey and football is still too far away to get really excited for. What’s a fan to do while waiting for a baseball game to satisfy your primal sports urges? Come on now, you know your man Rod B. has the goods. Just have free space…

Brooks: Durant picking Dubs is the culmination of franchise’s unprecedented turnaround
WHAT THE F?@& JUST HAPPENED? How strong is your free agent pitch game when you can get Kevin Durant to take less money than he could have gotten from Oklahoma City AND pay more in taxes? I will never doubt the Golden State Warriors again. Never. Less than a decade ago, the Warriors couldn’t get…

Radnich: I’d skip the Olympics, too
We are about a month away from the Rio Olympics and I’m starting to see why so many of our top athletes are not heading to Brazil. It’s just not worth it. Forget the fact that the two best stars in basketball are sitting out due to injury and overall fatigue. That’s something that has happened…

Radnich: NBA Draft a bore for casual basketball fans
After one of the most interesting and exciting regular seasons and adding to that a terrific playoffs and Finals rematch – the NBA Draft was a bore. Fifteen of the first 30 players drafted were international, of those in the first round only five played all four years in college. Even the most ardent fan…
