*** Official 2007-08 Golden State Warriors Thread ***

The warriors have proven two things. They can get hot in stretches and are a nightmare for the Mavs. They still haven't proven that they can put a full season together of consistent basketball. They had a hot stretch in 04-05 when Baron joined the team then dropped off the following year. Part of that was because of a crappy coach, but keep in mind we wouldn't even be talking about them if it weren't for a partial collapse of the bottom end of the west last year. Nothing would really surprise me from this team this year.

I have them finishing 9th or 10th, but really anything from 8-12 wouldn't surprise me.

SEVENTH OR THIRTEENTH WOULDNT SURPRISE ME EITHER

I could see them finishing 1st-16th, actually.

I can see both of you getting upset with me when I criticize the Suns for hosting a draft picks fire sale.

Anyway, the Warriors are really nothing special. Baron is awesome. S-Jax is pretty valuable and he'll be missed. Biedrins is a valuable piece. Monta Ellis is exciting but largely overrated. He isn't very efficient. He definitely shouldn't have won the MIP over Kevin Martin, a true stud.

The crowd is still awesome, and they're still exciting to watch. So at least it'll be an entertaining ride.

You can hate on Sarver all you want. He seems kind of like a tool and the guys that I know who work for the organization are kind of exasperated by him. But that's for a non-Warriors thread.

So it's good to see the fans still have the energy that they had at the end of last season. I like the home court edge a really loud stadium seems to give their team. Seems more prevalent in basketball than other sports, no doubt due to the tighter confines.

Has anyone ever seen Baron in a casino? He strikes me as an "up as you lose" kind of guy. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Two games + 1 camp, and I'm liking Azubuike. I suspect (hope) this will be a recurring theme in this thread.
