Who do you want out? Playoffs

dallaswarrior — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 05:40:20 -0000

I watched most of the Maverick/ Hornets game tonight and began to feel better about the Warriors missing the playoffs. Seeing as I have to hear all about the Maverick's everyday and see Dirk jersey's everywhere, I also get crap from all my friends that the W's missed the playoffs, I would feel SO much better if the maverick's got knocked out in five.

The other team I really want to drop is the Lakers. If those two teams get knocked out of the playoffs I will be able to forget the Warriors downfall and this cloud hanging over my head will dissipate much more quickly. Is there any team that could get knocked out to lift you out of your depression? Or are you more hardcore then I and nothing can console you?

What will the record be?

The warriors are 41-24 and heading into the final stretch of the season, its make or break time for the playoffs. I know the warriors are difficult to predict on wins and losses but that doesn't mean I dont try to predict their record ever day.

Here is the remaining schedule, make your predictions and I will make mine.

Mar 18 @ SAC 7:00pm Win
Mar 19 @ LAC 7:30pm Win
Mar 21 vs HOU 7:30pm Win (END the STREAK)
Mar 23 @ LAL 6:30pm LOSS
Mar 24 vs LAL 7:30pm Loss
Mar 27 vs POR 7:30pm Win
Mar 29 @ DEN 6:00pm Loss
Mar 30 vs DAL 6:00pm Win

April
Apr 1 @ SAS 5:30pm Win(surprising road wins)
Apr 2 @ DAL 6:30pm Win*
Apr 4 @ MEM 5:00pm Win
Apr 6 @ NOR 4:00pm Loss
Apr 8 vs SAC 7:30pm Win
Apr 10 vs DEN 5:00pm Loss
Apr 12 vs LAC 7:30pm Loss*(token let down loss)
Apr 14 @ PHX 7:00pm Loss
Apr 16 vs SEA 7:30pm Win

51 and 31 thats my guess

Warriors pick up Nelson's option

Great move by the Warriors picking up his option now. It gives Nelson more comfort and also encourages him to play his bench more. Is this a great move by the W's front office or does it give Nellie too much slack to by even more of a mad scientist?

Hopefully this means more playing time for Brandan Wright and the bench as a whole.

Gossip: Kg, Baron and FA's 08

dallaswarrior — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 17:12:41 -0000

I would normally not post this in a diary but i thought this would promote discussion. Optionzero you are welcome to erase this if you like.

I was on the mercurynews message board and I found this http://forums.mercurynews.com/n/mb/message.asp?msg=5450&nav=messages&webtag=mn-warriors
This is written by the same guy who broke the Nelson news a day early last year.

He brings up three points worth discussion:

The Warriors don't plan to extend Baron. Interesting and probably shrewd on the warriors part given Baron's injury history. Will this create chaos in the locker room though? an unhappy Baron is a scary thing
The Warriors could trade Baron to BOston in a three way deal for Garnett. This seems self defeating, because the reason we would want Garnett is to pair him with Baron. Also I dont think that Garnett would want to come to a Baron-less warriors team.
Mully is saving up for the 08 free agent class and his number one target is Gilbert.......

Also, check this out, which he posted a couple days back....http://forums.mercurynews.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=mn-warriors&msg=5446.1&ctx=0

Just for Fun: Basketball Fantasy

dallaswarrior — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 17:37:33 -0000

I know things are going slow on this site so........EVERYONE choose your team, city, owner and celebrity fans.

5 starters:
PG- BD - my distributer
Sg- D Wayde - Scorer slasher defender
SF- Marion- defense, doesnt take a lot of shots
PF- KG- boards, buckets, blocks
C-Duncan- winner even though I cant stand watching him

3 Bench:
Lebron- all around stud
Nash- gotta have a bcakup for BD
Amare- Stud

I think this team works because of the lack of ego's and the pass first mindset on most of these players. Unselfish = fun to watch and good chemistry

3 Celebrity Fans and why:
Jessica Alba- eye candy
Jack Nic- I dont know why I just want him sitting courtside
Megan Fox- eye candy

Your City(Oakland is not allowed):
Dallas... Why? Because I want to go to the games

Your Owner: Mark Cuban (with a sock in his mouth) and his wallet open.

Poll-Just for Fun: How old are you?

dallaswarrior — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 04:39:49 -0000

Someone (update: eddie925 sorry bro) wrote in another diary that most of the people who post in here are in high school so I was thinking it would be fun to know the age groups that actually visit this site. I think it is really interesting that many of us spend so much time on this site and have no idea who the people are we are talking to (one of the negatives of technologies growing influence). I am 21 and it came as a shock that so many of you would be younger than me. I just assumed many of you were older then me.......

Anyways I thought it would be interesting to know the general ages of the posters....So how old are you? ALSO POST YOUR AGE WITH YOUR NAME (not real name) AND WHERE YOUR FROM if you like (no addresses of course)

Stephen Jackson Suspended

dallaswarrior — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 18:21:28 -0000

I am watching ESPN news and the BREAKING NEWS section says he and Ron Artest are suspended 7 games each(seperate instances). Jackson supposedly for the strip club brawl about a year ago. Artest suspended for spouse abuse.

This seems fair enough I think considering his history. I will post a link and updated this as soon as a story appears. Rick Bucher is on ESPN right now and he says that it is going overboard and that both players pleaded guilty to get the case over with not because they were guilty of anything. Update here is the link from yahoo provided by Caught Backcourt http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=ApqRtYhHOUvUyhqU0PDFXsa8vLYF?slug=txnbasuspensions&prov=st&type=lgns

Good news for the Warriors on the free agent front?- Matt Barnes

dallaswarrior — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:03:28 -0000

So it is obvious that many of us are sad that we haven't made any moves since the JR trade. So I thought I would bring everyone a glimmer of hope, that we can resign Barnes.
It looks as if Barnes hasn't been getting the offers he has desired and many teams think he is a product of Nelson's system. Maybe we can get him back for cheaper then we thought.

http://www.sacbee.com/100/story/268925.html Is this enough of a move for you to be satisfied with? Can we just sign Barnes and you be happy? I for one wouldn't be too upset if he was our only FA signing because I think we can now get him at a reasonable price.

Rumor: Pietrus Sign and Trade

dallaswarrior — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 18:49:13 -0000

Was about to post this but dallaswarrior beat me to it. Just going to move it from the diaries to the main section.

===============================================
The majority of us wouldn't mind seeing MP in a different uniform. He often makes stupid mistakes and the like. However it seems that certain teams value him more then we do.

http://www.miamiherald.com/588/story/166777.html

(Scroll to the bottom for the part about MP) If the heat do indeed want to work a sign and trade with us who would you want back. I say Haslem as he would make us a much tougher team on the interior and solve our biggest problems rebounding and interior defense. There are also possibilities such as Jason Williams and James Posey.

Who do you want in a sign and trade?
===============================================

Here's the actual text from the article.

Happy Walters, the agent for Golden State restricted free agent Mickael Pietrus, said the Heat's Randy Pfund told him he plans to contact the Warriors about a potential sign-and-trade for the 6-6, multiskilled, 25-year-old small forward.

Kawakami's Mancrush = KG

dallaswarrior — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 18:51:58 -0000

Yet another blog about KG. This time he wants to get KG and Yi to put with Baron and AB. He is going insane but if you dont believe me look for yourself.
He thinks we can get KG without giving up AB and I really think this is impossible but you be the judge.

http://www.mercextra.com/blogs/kawakami/2007/07/06/dream-warriors-scenario-how-about-garnett-and-yi/

At least Kawakami is entertaining.

Do you think it is time to give up the KG dream?
