Bye bye baby.....vs SEA




Well I am a day late and a dollar short on this post. I don't think anyone who has been following would blame me either. This was yet another disappointment that became regular at the end of this season. Overall I would not say I am disappointed with the season though. We had a great record and played some of the most exciting games I have ever seen live in my life. Not to mention the fact having season tickets gave me a reason to blog. Something I have wanted to try for awhile now. I had many sites on various topics in the past. But nothing that required using the English language on such a steady basis. It has been a great experience and as it stands now looks like something that I will be doing next season as well.

Anyway back to this night in particular. It was the last game of the season and we have no chance at the playoffs. We have nothing to lose right? Yea maybe we had a game to lose. The swag from Fan Appreciation night was not in abundance. I at least received a free shirt on the very first game of the season. They did however offer up 50% off certain items in the Team Store. All of the items being stuff you would never purchase. My wife accompanied me on this night. We had a good time though despite the loss to one of the worst teams in the NBA. I don't know I am bitter but like I alluded to earlier it was the journey not the destination that matters. Well I still have some more unfinished business to take care of. A postmortem podcast maybe? Keep an eye out though a redesign will be coming for sure. This will be followed by a second blog I am starting.

Clip Walking.....vs LAC




Saturday night games are a blur. I had to go back and read my Twits just to remember going to this game. Seriously though this given Saturday was grand. Had some friends over for a all day slow n low BBQ. Played a little Rock Band in the evening and then was off to the game. Can't ask for more on a Saturday good company, good food and a good game to end it all.

The game was very exciting and even close at times. That was sad considering its the dang Clips. They are some underachievers though you have to watch out cause they do have talent. As we are all watching this exciting Dubs game though hundreds of people myself included are constantly pressing refresh to see the score on the Nuggets game. Once Denver lost the crowd literally started yelling "Denver Lost!" as if to let the Warriors on the floor know. All in all great game but don't ask me the fine details I enjoyed myself a little to much. Thank god for Sunday's to recover. GO WARRIORS!

Chewed up and Coughed out like a Nugget...vs DEN




I am going to keep this one short and sweet for several reasons. Mainly I am sick of thinking and talking about this game. Also We just finished recording a new Podcast so I will let that speak for itself. Anyway it was a 5pm game so I had to leave a little early. Luckily this was not a major issue and I was able to make it in time for tip off. Lots of fans trickled in during the first and second quarter. The first quarter was great. The second not so much. We went almost 7 minutes without a field goal. We retook the lead but could not hold it long. Anyway tough loss our boys didn't show up. The crowd definitely showed up that was for sure though.

Royal win vs SAC



Well its crunch time and every game counts. Gone are the days of contiplating if I should sell a ticket for the game tonight. Now its be there early with bells and whistles on. The Popeye's Cat Fish Poor Boy with a side of Red Beans and Rice did a fan right before the game. What did me wrong though was the drunk guy in my seat. Perhaps this is Karma for my drunken escapade a few weeks back. Anyway some guy made himself at home in my seat and was chatting with the people in the row behind us. With 2 open seats next to him I decided not to be a jerk and run the guy out. A mistake that came back to haunt me. So I sit down next to him and get ready to twitter the game. Turns out he knows the five or so people directly behind us. So for the first half this guy was turned around chatting with his friends. He was biligerant drunk to shouting such classic phrases as "PEANUTS!" and everyones favorite "SUPAH MAN DAT HOE" at the top of his lungs. I lucked out though at half time he and his friends took off to be never seen again. Don't get me wrong though. Sure it was annoying and made it hard to pay attention to the game. But it's this and other types of happenings that make these posts semi interesting.



As for the game I was surprised not to see Artest playing. If you listen to the podcasts you would know I think he is the only thing Sacramento has going for them heh. So I was happy to see he was not suited up. In all seriousness though Kevin Martin is one hell of a player and the Kings have a decent team. I knew it was not going to be a cakewalk especially how Sacramento has been playing lately. The entire game I was also glued to my phone checking the score on the Denver and LA game. Unfortunately Denver ran away with it and won also. The Warriors never took a giant lead like Denver did but man was it a good game to watch. Some great steals and fast breaks in the first half. Then in the second half a lot of the reserve players lit it up. Mikel Pietrus was a monster in the 4th with two huge blocks and a nice dunk. Well Thursday is going to be huge when we play Denver. It will pretty much make or break playoff hopes for one of these teams. Stay tuned for a game write up and then on Friday night we will be recording a podcast. I have 3 guests scheduled to record so it should be interesting. GO WARRIORS!
