Warriors Upset against Mavericks NOT 'Mind Blowing'?

Five Ten Entertainment — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 03:42:24 -0000

Did anyone watch the Best Damn Sports Show's "Top 100 Most Mind Blowing Sports Moments"?

It was a really good list, but they left out the Warriors upset against the Mavericks from 2007. I might be the only one feeling this way, but I got a little offended (Not emo, but I was just like "aww wtf. no love?").

So yeah, anyone feel like the 2007 'We Believe' Warriors aren't getting enough recognition? I'm not trying to be picky or anything, I know that the Warriors got their props. It's just that now it feels like people are thinking that the upset resulted because of the "Mavericks sucking", instead of the "Warriors being good".

Sorry for bringing up another topic about the 2007 playoffs, I just wanted to see how people felt about this. Whether or not the Warriors were really good that year, or if we weren't really that good at all and the upset wasn't all that great.

The NBA now has 6 names for the new team to decide on: Barons, Bison, Energy, Marshalls, Thunder and Wind. Which one do you prefer? I personally like the name 'Barons', it sounds more original than the other names listed.

Ahhh, seems like my Fanpost isn't long enough to be posted. Here's a couple more words:

Baron Davis

Jason Richardson

Monta Ellis

Stephen Jackson

Al Harrington

Andris Biedrins

Kelenna Azubuike

Mickael Pietrus

Matt Barnes

Patrick O'Bryant

Adonal Foyle

Josh Powell

Zarko Cabarkapa

Article about the Flopping Fish in Oakland.

Five Ten Entertainment — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 04:06:18 -0000

I'm not sure if this deserves a diary, but some people might want to read it.

If you missed Monday night's Warriors/Lakers game, it was an unfortunate ending to a great NBA game. With few seconds left in OT, the Warriors had the ball and Monta Ellis was called for a foul for "running over" Derek Fisher. Replays showed that Fisher clearly pulled him down, costing the Warriors a chance to tie or win the game.

No one is disputing that it was a blown call. Calls get missed all the time.

My biggest problem with it is that the refs are trained to learn the players and their reputations. Given that, and the fact that Fisher is the biggest flopper in the NBA, how does he get the benefit of the doubt on anything, let alone a game-deciding play?

Fisher is a great guy off the court, a class act. But on the court he's a fraud. After that call he remained sprawled on the ground and "played hurt." That's because even he felt bad, saying after the game that it should have been a no-call.

Yeah right Fish, you were hoping for that exact call. That's how you play the game. That's how you've always played the game.

Remember in last year's playoffs when Fisher was with Utah and Baron gave him that little elbow to the head and Fish fell and played hurt for about three minutes? Well I'm beginning to think he was faking that too. (When Baron was asked what he told Fisher after that, he jokingly said "I told him stop flopping and making me look bad.")

The NBA can put an end to this from floppers like Fisher.

They made an effort to rid the league of so many bad charging calls (a stat in which Fisher always led the league every year). The refs are calling blocking fouls when the play can go either way, and it has discouraged players from trying to take charges. Great move by the league.

If you want to discourage players like Fisher from doing what he did last night, you NEVER give him the benefit of the doubt on close calls until he stops flopping. Trust me, a few months of that and this nonsense will end.

http://warriors.realgm.com/articles/150/20080325/fisher_the_fraud/

In my opinion, that call was flat out disgusting. I don't care if I sound like a whiny Warriors fan or whatever. I just can't believe that I actually spent almost 3 hours for that game... up until the last seconds of the game, the battle was amazing, the atmosphere was that of a playoff game showcasing Pacific Division action, Baron vs. Kobe and the fast paced action between athletic players going neck and neck, the crowd going wild, the intensity that was building up towards the end of regulation made my heart go crazy. The Warriors went on a stunning 10-1 run to send the game to overtime.

All of those moments and emotions throughout the game had compiled together to create big momentum for a huge climax.

What did it ALL lead to?? It led to a referee, who had a bad angle on the last play, making the big call to DECIDE the game... ensuring the Lakers a victory.

So we sat in front of our TV's for 2 and a half hours, screaming and going wild, just to end up seeing a damn referee decide the game. That call KILLED everything that the game was building up for. Even if he hadn't blown the whistle and the Warriors were to miss the shot, we wouldn't have gone crazy since a missed shot would have been the Warriors losing the game, not a ref. Instead, it was a damn whistle that gave the Lakers a victory, NOT a heartbreaking Kobe gamewinner, but a damn whistle. We play hard just to have some ref make everything that the Warriors did irrelevant. Although you COULD say that Fisher was clutch that game... I can't think of any other player that could come up with a clutch flop to clinch a guaranteed win.

Ahh, hopefully we kill the Trailblazers on national TV this Thursday. Hopefully that makes me forget about this controversy. Although I still remember that one game we had against the Wizards last year. haha.

Have you ever been pissed off before?!

Five Ten Entertainment — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 23:25:39 -0000

Hey, has anyone ever said something about the Warriors that pissed you off and got you heated? Are you that much of a die hard fan, where you end up getting mad when someone says a certain something about your team?

I don't know, there's something about the line "Warriors are a fluke team" that gets me pissed as hell. Especially when the person saying it, acts like they know for sure that we are. If you post on basketball forums on sites like RealGM, ESPN, etc. then you might know what i'm talking about.

Don't get me wrong though, it's not like i'm a whiny crybaby about those comments... i'm just saying that all the hate towards the team gets annoying.

It's some random video I came across just now. These guys aren't pro sports analysts or whatever, but I always like to hear what casual fans have to say about our team. They have 8 minutes worth of things to say about Golden State. I haven't watched all of it yet, so I don't know whether or not there's more hate or more love being show for the Warriors. Maybe you guys would be interested in watching it.

My GSW First Round Playoff Preview Video

Five Ten Entertainment — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 02:57:25 -0000

Hey guys, new video to start the series tomorrow. LETS GO WARRIORS!

Alright, I took about half an hour to make this short video. I wanted to make something to get ready for the playoffs but didn't have much time so I had to rush it.

Kind of choppy, I couldn't put my best into it but it is a warm up for my Monta Ellis mix anyways. Either way I hope Warriors fans or even non Warriors fans enjoy this before the playoffs start.

A short video I edited of Biedrins' dunk from Thursday.

Five Ten Entertainment — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 23:06:28 -0000

1 minute video on Biedrins' dunk on Amare and Nash. Kind of tells the viewers not to sleep on him... trying to get his name out there since not that many people know who he is anyway.

Oh yeah, and a link to GSoM in the end of the video! Hopefully GSoM will get a few more visitors from this even though GSoM already gets a whole lotta views each day, lol.

This is just a really short warm up for my Monta Ellis mix though. The video feels like it goes by too fast, but unfortunatly it's too late to fix it.

Article about Warriors great DEFENSE.

Five Ten Entertainment — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 21:40:50 -0000

Alright so most people would say the Warriors don't play good defense. Usually I respond with "Warriors lead the league in steals, blocks, opponent turnovers, points off of turnovers and fastbreak points."

Some say that those stats don't really say much, but if they read this article they'd know what i'm talking about.

Check it out.

With a starting lineup of Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington and Andris Biedrins, the Warriors are 6-0.

But why they are 6-0 in those games would surprise those who have not watched the games.

The Warriors are winning with defense.

The average final score in those six wins is 107-94. The Warriors are still scoring at a high rate, but the defensive end is what is producing wins.
