The night much like the game itself I had good expectations for but it just didn't happen the way I hoped. I was originally planning to leave early so we could grab a little Popeye's before the game and still be there in time for the announcement of the starters. One thing lead to another though and I was running late. We still stopped at Popeye's knowing we would be rushed eating. Long story short I highly recommend not throwing back Chicken, Jalapeño Peppers and a Strawberry soda and then sprinting across the overpass from BART. I however was willing to put my body on the line to get you the exclusive video of Webber's return. With stomach ache and all I quickly made my way to my seat in time to catch the last thirty seconds of warm ups "Mission Complete". On arrival it was plain to see the same curiosity was on everyone's minds. The other season ticket holders that I have come to know all instantly started the Webber talk. The consensus was pretty much the same everyone has high hopes but also hold many reservations. I was really interested to see how the crowd would react. I figured it would be a mixture and from the video you can tell it was.
Right from the jump though you could tell this was not going to be easy. The Bulls just scored on us at will and we could not get anything to go in. Webber missed a few layups but hit some jumpers and ended up with decent numbers for the minutes played. Harrington however did not take lightly to losing his starting spot and came off the bench on fire. One fan said he thinks we could have won had we started Harrington instead of Webber. Who knows for sure but one thing is clear we got outplayed plain and simple. I won't say Webber was the cause of it. Only time will tell how this story pans out though. On the celebrity's sightings we had some normals and one out of left field. Dontrelle Willis and C.C. Sabathia were having one last night out before reporting to spring training. The other star took me for a loop though. How often do you see one of your favorite rappers at a game? I thought it was funny they had been playing a lot of Nas during warm ups and at time outs. Then they showed him up on the screen and I put two and two together. It was funny watching all the people try and get pictures and such. After awhile they had to get security to stand behind his seat. The best thing though was seeing Nas cheering for the Warriors. He even stood up and clapped on some of those nasty dunks from Ellis and Pietrus. At the end of the night I had a good time. It was exciting and close at times but we could not get what should of been an easy win over a injured Bulls team.
