Golden State Of Mind Game Thread #61: Golden State Warriors vs LA Lakers - Tank watch day, and we're not getting any help.

Tiny by IQofaWarrior on in Previews on Golden State Of Mind

Article-2009603-0cc9b01800000578-536_634x432_medium

"Hey boy, see any help coming for our tank?" "Whimper."

via i.dailymail.co.uk

Today, the other five teams that we're competing with in the tank race all play tonight.

Cavaliers? Nope.
Pistons? Nope.
Nets? Nope.
Raptors? Nope.
Kings? We'll see, but probably not against the Spurs.

As for the Warriors, we better lose tonight so we can stay in the race. Starting 4 rookies (Jenkins, Klay, Gladness, Tyler) + DWright should help. This should also help:

Golden State Of Mind Game Thread #60: Golden State Warriors vs San Antonio Spurs - Another day of basketball, another day in jail.

Tiny by IQofaWarrior on in Previews on Golden State Of Mind

86031-silhouetted-prisoner-counting-his-days-in-jail-with-chalk-on-the-wall-poster-art-print_medium

Including this game, there are 7 games left to go. As Warriors fans, we are stuck in the jail cell of mediocrity, counting the number of games left until the season is over, looking for losses to boost our lottery luck, cringing when our team plays hard and threatens to win, hoping that we will be given probation next season from our sentence of going nowhere.

But guess what? Tonight, we break out of jail. Tonight, we break out of jail early. Tonight is the first night of... our freeeeedom!!!

...

OK, obviously not. Tonight, we continue to sit in jail. Tonight we continue to ridicule made baskets, good plays, and players who are on fire, and we continue to cheer clanks, turnovers, and airballs. Tonight, we pick up a piece of chalk and mark on our walls that another game will go by for this season.

Yeah the L helped the tank, but there were some worthwhile performances. So here's a new idea: You can pick either way. Either honor someone for their performance, or give some tanks for the loss.

Golden State Of Mind Game Thread #47: Golden State Warriors @ Portland Trail Blazers - Even the Warriors airplane wanted to tank.

Hmm, there seems to be a common theme going around lately. I wonder what it could be.

via gastankvents.com

After that what-the-heck-was-that closing performance by both the Kings and the Warriors, the Warriors were scheduled to take a charter plane to Portland right after the game. But the flight was delayed and eventually cancelled because of mechanical issues.

I snuck in past security late last night and got a chance to talk to the plane one-on-one. I asked the plane what really caused the delay and cancellation of the flight. The plane silently pointed to object shown in the image above and then winked at me. I squinted my eyes in confusion for a moment, and then realization dawned on me. I smiled, winked back at the plane, and snuck back out.

Fortunately (or unfortunately), they either fixed the mechanical problem or switched to a different plane, and the Warriors arrived safely in Portland earlier this morning. Game on (or off).
