It's my best friend's birthday on friday and I was trying to see whether I could get tickets for us and maybe some friends. I looked on stubhub, warriors and warriors ticket exchange, and ticket city and I couldn't find anything for less than $60. Does anyone know where else I could try? I figure if we can't go to this I'll try the hornets game. That should be a lot easier to find tickets for, right? Anyways, thanks.

So I've lived in the bay area my whole life and I always followed pretty much every bay sports team, but never really got excited about Barry's chase for all these home run records, 500 hrs and beyond. During this year I was thinking about it, and in all the articles I've been reading writers say that the home run record is the most hallowed record in sports, but is it the most hallowed record for you? Is Barry amazing for breaking the record, or is he a cheater for "using" steroids? I don't know whether to cheer him or not, because like an article I read in the SJ Mercury today, it comes down to whether you cheer for him and it turns out he used steroids so you look stupid; or you cheer against him and he didn't use them and you look stupid. Of course those two are worst case scenarios, but anyways what are your thoughts?

================================================

[Moderator's Note, by OptionZero] This is a big accomplishment that happened right in the Bay, so it deserves a shot at discussion. However, if it devolves into a flame war about Bonds hating or childish steroids remarks, I will not hesitate to delete comments or the diary itself. This has proven a volatile topic in my experience, so KEEP IT CIVIL.

Can anyone help me find tickets for friday's game? I made it to my first warrior game ever thanks to golden state of mind's wizards deal and I would be grateful if there was anyway to go to a playoff game through someone's extra ticket or two. I'd like to spend near one hundred and fifty dollars if that's possible. Thanks to anyone who can help me. Go dubs!

Damn that game was hella exciting. I'm so glad I was able to go. Thanks to the Masterminds at GSOM for this. It was my first real Warrior game so it was super slick.

Thanks to Shailo for the posters and the minute of talking. I must have looked like a nerd with the print out from GSOM to make sure I went to the right place.

I had been to one game when the warriors were playing an exhibition game vs the clippers in San Jose, but this was nothing like that. I was hyped the whole 48 minutes. I even considered taking a picture with the mascot...haha too bad I didn't.

I wish I woulda been able to get a shirt from that guy with the 100 shirts at halftime,  but that guy kept passing it to his left and right instead of hin front of him. I swear some of those fools had 2 or 3 shirts and I didn't even have one! punks... I got some thundersticks though.

I think i lost my voice by the second quarter with all the booing and stupid calls requiring me to chant Bullsh.. so it was nice to have the thundersticks to help me be loud. I have the sticks chillin next to my computer right now.

Next time we should try to get closer, I mean we were clearly the loudest section in the arena, we should be close so the refs can hear how bad their calls are. But yeah this game made me want to go to a lot more. I think I might go to the Phoenix game, I like that 2 for 1 deal they're having, and the KBLX deal where you can get tickets cheaper too if you buy them using the code HARDWOOD.

On to the pictures, http://web.mac.com/pravinkaipa/iWeb/Site/Last%20Roll.html

They're not all awesome pictures, but I figured some people here might enjoy them. Next time I will get better pics I promise. I wasn't sure if we could get up and move once we sat down or else i would have taken pictures a lot closer during the shootaround. There's also a couple pictures of me and the lady. but yeah all in all a great night, hope you guys enjoy the pictures. Thanks again to GSOM.
