Is it just me or are you guys also noticing

That the coaching staff, players, and fans are showing way more excessive body language and facial expressions whenever a foul is being called? Yes, I'm trying to make a point that everyone is aware of the book and all have probably read the same excerpts. It is going to be pretty interesting as time passes because the NBA has made a statement that they will read the book and act accordingly.

I think Donaghy is scheduled to be released later this week so I'm sure he's going to be stormed by reporters about the book and if he can prove the statements are true. As most of you know he mentioned names in the book and those people can sue him for infringement... (I think that's what it's called from business law) so he better be careful on what he says during those interviews.

After reading the excerpts I've become pretty disgusted about the way the NBA was ran up till this season. There were probably games that were ran last season but this season should be different now that the refs have all been put on blast by the media. I hate knowing that games have been rigged for this many years because I gamble too and I've mostly been on the losing side =*(

The thing I think sucks most about this is that the refs probably hated the Warriors squad the most so games have always been called against us for years... no wonder we only made playoffs once in 15 seasons. Ok Ok, I know it's just silly excuses but I'm sure it had to count for a number of games over the years. Maybe I'm just crazy but I think these refs gotta go and I think we would have been better with those D-League refs... at least we know they could make trustworthy calls and improve as time goes by.

Whatever, but I think whenever you've worked the bizz for plenty of years you're going to know how to work the bizz for your own benefits. Am I right? I would if I worked the same job for 20 + years and no one ever questioned you besides a silly rating system.

What do you think about the referees?

Imagine if Lebron signed with the Clippers next season

bojangles408 — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:01:04 -0000

I just read on ESPN insider:

"Leading the way in cap room? The New Jersey Nets. Depending on what the cap settles at, they could have between $21.3-24.9 million in cap space. They're followed in order by the Knicks, Heat, Bulls, Timberwolves, Thunder and Clippers."

Imagine if Lebron signed with the LA Clippers next season... How crazy would that be to have a supporting cast of

Baron Davis

Eric Gordon

Lebron James / Thornton

Blake Griffin / Kaman

Marcus Camby / Kaman / De Andre

The west would have two powerhouses just like Celtics vs Orlando. This signing would really suck for everyone in the West and LA would really be treated to have two of the biggest superstars currently in the NBA... But anyways do you guys even think the NBA would even allow this to ever happen? I would think they would like to have one superstar per city for a cities sake.

Poll

Would you be OK with Lebron coming to the clippers next season?

Kings to SJ? (unreliable source)

bojangles408 — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 21:18:05 -0000

One of my best friends dad works for the city of San Jose and he said Sacramento Kings is going to come to San Jose for at least 1 year before they are bought out by a new owner as we all should know by now the Kings are being forced to move out. It's already in the works so he says but for sure the Kings are going to be in San Jose for at least a season.

Yes I know it's not a very reliable source but I know his dad and he isn't a person that would say BS. Anyways I don't think I'd really mind if the Kings came for a season or two because I wouldn't mind seeing Lebron or Kobe two or 3 times more a year in the Bay. But who knows? Maybe if the Kings do come here and SJ sees that it can be a successful caterer to Professional Basketball they'll make a hard push to bring the Warriors! It's wishful thinking but for reals if the Warriors did come to San Jose it would be full capacity every single game since SJ is the dead center of the Silicon Valley.

How are your feelings towards "Captain" Jack? -poll attached

bojangles408 — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 04:40:51 -0000

After all this media attention Jackson is getting I want to know how people feel about our captain now that he wants to be traded. Yes, he may be the "best" or rather most complete player on a pretty deep squad but would it really be smart to keep him? We have so much untapped talent on our roster waiting to be given a chance we could probably afford to lose his expensive contract for expiring contracts or for whatever would make us better.

OK, so I thought about it and I was wondering how Stack Jack would take it if the crowd that he fell in love with boos him like crazy opening night or whenever he does something stupid. We all know he thrives off of Roaracles cheers/reactions so would he still play at his best? Or would he be affected by it? It's going to be real interesting opening night... What happens on that night could affect the teams chemistry. I attached a poll to see how you guys are going to cheer for him.

TK at it again RUMOR Monta could get traded to Mavs for scrubs

TK at it again RUMOR Monta could get traded to Mavs for scrubs

So the most hated blogger of all time is at it again. Poor old Tim has outdone himself again and knows that he'll get his hits if he blogs about the most controversial subject the fans have been discussing lately. Here is what was posted on ESPN insider rumors.

Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News thinks Monta Ellis could be traded to the Dallas Mavericks if they would send short-term deals back and if the Warriors would be happy taking a major talent hit just to dump Ellis' contract, which has 5 years and $55M remaining.

Kawakami writes, "For all the energy the Warriors have placed in telling us that Monta is their centerpiece and all the sweat issued to dispute my reports that he's unhappy ... well, I could very much see Don Nelson working hard to trade Ellis."

I know it's old but I feel like I haven't been getting an adequate GSOM fix lately so I had to search for things on my own and came across this... Maybe someday this footage will be part of a HOF video ;)

Another Conference with Riley and Rowell coming up in person

bojangles408 — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 00:26:20 -0000

As most of you know the Dubs organization held a conference call a few weeks ago with season ticket holders so that they can answer any questions that fans may have concerning the direction the team is headed. It was quite informative and good to hear from the front office actually speak to their beloved fans...

Anyways I just got off the phone with my sales guy again (8th time after season end) as he wanted to see what I thought about the call a few weeks back and then informed me the Warriors are having a forum that will be held in person Wed. 6/10 @ 6-8pm in Oakland with about 100 or so selected season ticket holders with guests. He said the forum will let the holders be able to ask any uncensored questions to the GM and Prez without Fitz screening the questions... uh oh! There will also be another one held the next day 6/11 not in Oakland... I forgot the city but it started with a "D" haha sorry guys.

Geez so what do you guys think about this? I'm scheduled to go to the one in Oakland and my sales guy said I can bring 1 guest for now but I can call him back to schedule even more friends to join if I wanted. I'm not sure how the selection process was but I guess I was lucky? One thing I know for sure, I'm going ALL OUT when I'm asking my question!

I really like the way the organization is handling themselves this off season. It seems they are finally learning from their mistakes and trying to interact more with their knowledgeable fan base. There really hasn't been a day where I haven't thought about the Warriors and I'm sure there are others here the same way so it's great to see the front office do these kinds of things. Maybe next they'll hold a poll to see which player we'd like to see be drafted!

Conference Call coming up with Rowell and Riley this Thursday

bojangles408 — Mon, 18 May 2009 23:07:43 -0000

So I just got off the phone with another warriors sales rep and he was trying to get me to renew my tickets again for like the 5th time even though I made it clear to them that I didn't have any interest in renewing for the next season. He asked me what in particular I didn't like and I told him I wasn't happy with the direction that the team is heading: we just got a new controversial GM, it seems like the front office only cares about money and not winning, the team we have right now isn't cutting it, I didn't get much in return with this investment... he then replied and said that there were plenty of holders in the same situation as me so Larey Riley and Robert Rowell are holding a conference call that is being moderated by Bob Fitzgerald for season ticket holders only on Thursday 5/21 @ 1:30pm where they would take phone calls and answer any questions that we may have. They want to make sure the fans know the direction the team is headed...

This really just seems to me they are in a huge hole with ticket renewals and they need to try anything possible to get them back because at the end of the call my rep told me he's still holding my seats even after the renewal deadline was way back and I told him I didn't want to renew.

This conference call could be a great way for GSOMers to voice their frustrations!!! I know I'm going to try. Who else is going to try and join in on the call? Anyone have any good questions to ask these two?

For those who aren't holders you can listen to the call within 24 hours after the event on the warriors official site.

Enough of this drama, lets look to next season!

bojangles408 — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 01:32:26 -0000

So ok I'm pretty tired of seeing all of these drama for your mama posts. I know the teams in a pinch right now but come on guys they are obviously trying their best to fix this team for next season. They are through with this season - Nelly, Rowell, Cohan, GSOM, we all can't wait for next season. So lets look on the bright side on what is happening now.

The young guys are getting more play time; something that all or most of us wanted ever since December. We are tanking... no matter how you look at it, its happening. We may get a future star in the making - and all this talk about getting a true PG and what not I really hope we get Stephen Curry. It's ok if he's the same size as Monta, he's going to be crazy in the NBA when he actually plays with guys that have talent like him. #1 scorer in the country and has greatly improved his passing game.

The youngins getting playing time is really going to help us for next season and it's also going to help with determining who we are trading/cutting. Think of the Blazers.

So lets look at the lineup that I would like to see and please it may be controversial but no matter how you look at it, these are the guys that are the best and have contracts with the dubs for at least 3 years. Oh and you know Crawdaddy is out already so lets trade him for a CENTER!! YES A CENTER! since there are no centers with our draft position and we only have 1 TRUE center.

PG: Monta

SG:Jackson

SF:Buike

PF:Turiaf

C:Biedrins

6th:Maggs

This lineup would fix all of our height problems / rebounding problems / defensive problems...or at least greatly improve it, it would also hopefully make our team flow alot better. I only say flow better because these guys have TREMENDOUSLY improved their passing game this season and know we need to pass to win games and rebound the damn ball. Yes I know Nellies style is we need at least 4 guys that can shoot 3's and spread the floor... but really? Look at the Celtics ; they only have Pierce and Allen that can shoot the 3ball. Rondo, KG, Perkins cannot shoot a 3 at all. Really the only problem here on defense would be Monta but so what we have the brick wall in the back and once he blocks the sh*t outta someone we can finally get that one man fast break going again. And while Turiaf is in the air we have Biedrins there to block out and rebound that ball or Buike fly high and put his 30 inch arm on a not so lucky opponent and snatch it down.

SOOO..... what do you guys think? Ready for next season yet? "We Are Ready!"

ps. sorry for the long post, I missed class already so I needed to do something that I'm interested in =)

Monta for Boozer?

bojangles408 — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 06:07:53 -0000

Since Monta "wants" to be traded do you think Utah would give boozer up? I mean come on, Paul Millsap is putting up pretty much the same numbers; all he needed was the playing time.

Think about it...Crawford, Jackson, Maggette, Boozer, and Biedrins. With that kind of squad were going to be for sure looking at a legitimate playoff contender. Our bench would be sooo deep still and we wouldn't have such a young squad out there for our starters.

Now for Utah they would have Deron Williams, Monta, Ronnie Brewer, Paul Millsap, and Mehmet Okur. That would be one hell of a team too. Now of course I love Monta, but what if... What do you guys think?
