Warriors Game Day Links: The Warriors hosted the Bulls on MLK day with a bench of 3 D-Leaguers, but that didn't matter. Links, videos.
Warriors meet the Bulls. Can the Warriors stop Derrick Rose with D-Leaguers?
No recap, since I couldn't watch. I'd feel worse about it, but early reactions indicate that the Bulls didn't do much showing up today either.
I just realized how close we are to halfway through the season.
Today marks the 2nd GSOM Kids Day - a day that 100 youths and chaperons get to attend a Warriors game for free. It's all made possible by the Warriors group tickets sales team, especially Chris Murphy and their community relations department. The way it works is that the Warriors donate 100 tickets to us (!) and we in turn donate them to various youth organizations in the Bay Area.
Golden State Warriors starting/ supposed franchise center Andris Biedrins has lost every single matchup this season including the likes of Chuck Hayes, Spencer Hawes, Juwan Howard, and Jermaine O'Neal.
