Golden State Warriors

Fourth Quarter continued.

6:20 Commit to the rebound! COMMIT!!! Crawford and Turiaf both could have taken an offensive rebound. Both got out of the way of the other. Hornets grabbed it. Pathetic.

Fourth Quarter begins.

11:43 Crawford has been driving tonight. Crawford has done well done. 26 after that three-point play.

10:45 Warriors are playing excellent defense this quarter but it's not enough. The lead is down to two.

Third Quarter continued.

4:35 Crawford just walked in for a lay-up on a half-court set. I'll take it.

3:50 David West goes to the spot he likes to shoot from. Stands there and wait. Chris Paul drives, draws the defense, dishes on a string. 2 easy points for the Hornets. That's talent.

Third Quarter begins.

10:14 Ronny Turiaf was slow getting up the court. He caught the ball then passed it from just a yard beyond the mid-court line, then made his way back towards our basket. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with him when I realized that his pass went to an open Anthony Morrow. I like Ronny Turiaf.

Second Quarter continued.

5:04 Ronny Turiaf just blocked a HUUUUGE dunk attempt. He came from under the rim. It was a reverse block. Incredible.

4:34 I dislike it any time opponents are allowed to score on their second put back of the same shot. That's just poor boxing out. Under any circumstance.

Second Quarter begins.

9:50 Jamal Crawford drained his third three already. This is both good and bad. Good because draining threes is good. Bad because it means Jamal has reason to believe he shoot should a lot of threes, which we don't need. Jamal Crawford is not a great 3-point shooter.

First quarter continued.

5:15 Just realized that Rob Kurz is in for Ronny Turiaf because he made a jump shot. I like Rob Kurz.

4:43 The Hornets' Marks just got called for a moving screen. First moving screen call I've ever seen.

Nobody needs another idiot fan ranting or raving, giving their personal opinion on their favorite teams activities without any real insight. I can't make any promises that I won't be an idiot fan but I will attempt to offer something less typical. The vast majority of my posts will be running, real-time blogs of Bay Area sports games.

I was sinking into the old, tattered, second-hand couch at my girlfriend’s place the other night, demanding… pleading… begging her and her roommates to “allow” us to watch something other than the titillating search for Paris Hilton’s new BFF. After some expert debating, (big shout out to 10th grade debate teacher Mrs. Posner) I was able to enforce my will to, not only change the channel, but change it to sports (translation: the six girls allowed the change based almost purely on the fact that their favorite gay guy/girl, Onch, had already been kicked off. TTYN.) One of the girls is from Los Angels and loves her Lakers, so if the channel was changing, due to the decibel of her voice, there was only one option. You should be proud and I should be happy, right? I was just able to complete the near impossible: getting six girls in their early 20s to change the TV from a show of girls and gay guys gossiping, yelling, drinking and being “fabulous,” to sports. A point for the guys, right?

So I normally title my Monday blog: Monday Mourning due to being hungover from a full day of drinking and watching sports, hence the “mourning” because I have to get up, go to work, puke in the bathroom, and subsequently fall asleep in all of my meetings and get absolutely no work done. But today is different, mainly due to the fact that CBS’s and Fox’s regional coverage of NFL games in my area was HORRIBLE. Games that had a spread of +11 with no fantasy implications at all were being aired, so I went and watched polo (you know, the sport where guys on horses trot around and whack a ball with mallets). I had never been to a polo game before but we decided to go due to the possibility of attractive females (there are always beautiful women at horse events). We mingled with a few and made up some elaborate lies that we were just checking out the competition and had our horses stabled a few miles away. We were obviously out of place, with our cheers of “nice pass man!” and “shoooooot it!” but we wholeheartedly plan on attending it every Sunday for the rest of the season – pending what NFL games are on of course.
