It's a Movement!

I don't know what it is but something is in the air. My old school rellies BS "Bored Stiff" are dropping Bombs once again and my homie D from FTB has started a Bona-Fied Movment. First off I should appoligize cause it's been awhile since I posted. This year I decided to attend the All-Star game in Dallas rather than buy season tickets.

Anyway enough with the explanation's the real story is the Warrior's are for sale as everyone knows. Also that Larry Ellison of Oracle fame is the most vocal prospective buyer. What everyone should know though is our blogger comrades at Fear The Beard have come up with a grand idea in this "open letter to Larry Ellison; or, my grand delusion to own a piece of the Warriors.". Give it a read and get out there and Tweet it Facebook it etc. I think this is an excellent idea and is not far fetched either. I think my hiatus speaks for itself. We all need somthing to beleive in again.

"All a man needs in this life is someone to love. If you can't give him that, give him something to hope for. If you can't give him that... give him something to do. "

The trade that keeps on giving......vs IND

Ok so the Lakers game never happend. I was there it was a loss and no blog post. You know I really like Sunday games though. Maybe it was just the warm weather or more likley the fact that we won. Either way it was a nice cap to the weekend on Sunday night when we played the Pacers. My wife and I showed up a little after tip off. By design because we both agreed the extra 10 minutes was better spent getting coffee. The world was ours, it's Sunday you should have no schedule. The arena was not to packed as far as sheer crowd goes. It was however packed with lots of Dunleavy hate. Truth be told that was one of my guilty pleasures in going to this game. I looked forward to joining in a BOooo here and there. It didn't just stop there though the Dunleavy hatred made me glad I didn't bring my Daughter.



The game was exciting and down right scary at times. We had 3 injuries starting Azbuike who was able to return. Then Turiaf rolled his ankle but walked it off and sat a little. Then late in the game Marco Belinelli had to be helped back to the locker room with a sprained ankle. Speaking of Marco, him and Granger almost went to blows over some ruff playing. The talk of the night was JC "Jamal Crawford" who hit the go ahead 3 to win the game. The Pacers who had more then enough time to put up the 3 attempt put it in Dunleavy's hands. We all know how that story ended. To bad Danny Granger didn't get to shoot it. He went loc with 42 Pts 7 Rebs, 3 Assists. But again JC showed us his glory with 32 Pts 5 Rebs, 5 Assists. Warriors get that much needed win and especially at home. Until next time Go Warriors!

Cotton Candy....vs TOR

As the Warriors went from the Bay to LA and then back to the Bay I was swamped at work. This meant Monday's game against the Raptors was really not on my radar. It was not until the day of that my wife and I realized we had a game and could not find a baby sitter. Like always my loving and beautiful wife said to invite a friend and she will stay home. Problem is none of the usual suspects could make it. With a lack of bench players I went with the undrafted rookie my Daughter. I have been kicking around the idea of bringing her and I was waiting for an opportunity just like this to do it. I brought her to that celebrity preseason game thing but not to a real regular season game yet. Good thing about a game like this is I didn't mind leaving early. She is not even 4 yet so I couldn't expect her to sit for the entire game. She did good though and made it all the way to the half. She probably could of made it longer. But it was already past her bedtime and she was starting to get hyphy.

So like I said I left at the half and I didn't get to watch a lot of what I was there for . So no real good game cometary here sorry. The best story I have was about Cotton Candy. We had eaten dinner before the game and I also snuck in a juice box and a snack for her as well. Food and drink wide we are content as can be. She doesn't bat an eyelash at the Chorros or any other vendor for that matter. Then the Cotton Candy guy comes up our row. At first she really was not to interested in it. Then the guy behind us calls over the Cotton Candy guy and buys 3 of them for him and his 2 kids. She asked and I told her we already ate dinner and I had no cash on me. For the next few minutes she was turned around in her seat salivating and begging me.

It was in the middle of the first quarter and I was irritated but we went on a mission. I had to find an ATM to get some cash because they didn't have any Cotton Candy at the stands that take cards. So I paid like $6 to get a $20 to but a $5 Cotton Candy. I never let her know it but in my mind I was thinking "Why did that guy have to buy those cotton candies". Anyway with our Cotton Candy and a Lemonade we made it back to our seats and enjoyed another quarter of play. When we left as I carried her across the bridge to BART's parking lot she looked me in the eyes and said "thank you for taking me daddy I love you so much". Now I have been through some tough times in life. Both my parents were drug addicts and I lost my father when I was 8. Needless to say I can handle emotion but that right there my friend. That had me almost in tears. Hard to explain feelings like that. God Bless her soul and GO WARRIORS!

Ohh yea we WON!

P.S One of the prettier staff members of GldnSt8Warrior.com lent out the official GldnSt8Warrior.com camera then lost it. So still no pictures or video. Maybe next game.

Christmas Miracle....vs BOS

Twas the day after Christmas, Against the Celtics at the Oracle, The Warriors won and it was quite a spectacle. Bad Holiday parodies aside this game was truly a spectacle. Not just for the fact that we pulled off a Christmas miracle and beat the Champs. But because of the energy in that arena. I have to say this was hands down the best game of the season thus far. The entire place was going Mighty Dumbo Dorfian Dummy.

Crazy thing is we initially tried to sell our tickets. Reason being is Celtics tickets normally sell for 2 or 3 times the price. I put them up for 3 times the price but found no takers. Looking back I am glad they didn't sell. We were excited to go to the game. We didn't expect a win, But we both were looking forward to seeing the Celtics play. Even if it meant them stomping on our boys. Most of the night that was the case a matter of a fact. Right from the jump you could see how better the Celtics are then us in both defending and scoring. They did however look tired and a little worn. They played the night before in LA against the Lakers. Ending the Celtics 19 game winning streak. I thought that would of fired them up a bit. Perhaps it did mentally but it didnt show up physically. Another big deciding factor was some sloppy 4th quarter turn overs the Celtics made. Also some key late game calls going our way. We did also have Jackson back and it was the old Gun Slinging Jackson. Not the new turn over machine Jackson. He looked like his old self shooting well and bringing a big spark. Also Marco has continued to do well with his extended minutes. Wonder if Nelson will still use him as much once Maggate, Crawford and Ellis are healthy? Speaking of Ellis it was nice to see him rejoin the team after that 30 game suspension. When they showed him on the screen the place went nuts. Still tons of love, we all can't wait to get him back.

The only bad news from this game was I didn't have my camera. We lent it to my Wife's parents for the weekend. No worries though a picture or a video would not properly capture the vibe that night. People really started to believe again that night, If only for a game. It had a vibe that I have not felt since Baron left. I don't know what the future holds. But like I said before that was the best game so far this season. We all know the playoffs are not going to happen. Lets just hope we can finish out the season with some intensity. Then hold our chins high with the best record we can.

Do you believe in Magic?.....vs ORL

As a cold front hits the Bay Area the Warriors continue their ice cold shooting percentages. The night started off right with Jackson addressing the crowd wishing them a happy holidays and such. It was fitting as this was the last home game till after Christmas. I personally went into this game expecting a 20 plus point blowout. But before the game I read that Howard and Pietrus were going to be out. So I changed my prediction to a 5-10 point loss instead.



Anyway my Wife and I made the way to our seats and got ready to see some sloppy Warriors basketball. Then not long after Jack wished us all a safe and Merry X-Mas some Douche Nozzle starts spewing anti Jack propaganda. Well maybe not propaganda exactly as our Captain Jack has been looking like he spent to much time in Davy Jones' Locker. But still, First off hating on him is not gonna help him get out of a slump. Second off my seats are in Club 200 and if you think he can hear you then you must be more then drunk. So yea I had to listen to Douche Nozzle for 3 quarters. Yes I said 3 quarters, cause yo boy V-Dazzalistic and his Breezy Weezie was moving on up once again. The up shot to having lots of fair weather fans is they tend to leave early. That and the cold weather I think has people starting to sing exodus a few minutes into the fourth. I have to say though I rather see the Warriors start winning then me continue to sneak down to lower level. Maybe once this cold front leaves and we get back to normal CA winters of 50 or 60 degrees. Then the Warriors might warm it back up and get some wins. To bad the block is still hot though....
