In sports, pessimism is your friend...
One of my main philosophies in life is “don’t get your hopes up.” And I am absolutely maniacal in my attempts to keep my hopes at subpar levels. For instance, I’ll never jinx my favorite team, even if they have the most insurmountable lead in the history of insurmountable leads....

The Olympics soap opera rolls on…

The Olympics soap opera rolls on…...
To truly enjoy the Vancouver Winter Olympics is to enjoy the imperfections. Sort of like walking to work in San Francisco. The weather isn’t always the best, and sometimes you see people yelling and crying for no discernible reason other than attention seeking. But the scenery’s pretty good,...

2009-10 Warriors: Worst Warriors Ever?...
I was in the kitchen a couple nights ago with the radio on when I heard the latest Warriors catastrophe. In a year where season-ending injuries have been as plentiful as wins, the pain in Tim Roye’s voice was evident as Monta Ellis writhed in pain on the floor, clutching his knee. Whether Ellis...

Golden State Wu-Warriors

Golden State Wu-Warriors...
A couple days ago, David commented on the Ray Allen/Amare Stoudemire/Monta Ellis post that perhaps the RZA could take over as head coach of the Warriors, which led to a thread of Wu-related pontifications that pretty much made my day (hey, I’m easy). As the comments spilled into the keyboard, it...

Ben Sheets goes to…the Oakland A’s?!?!?!

Ben Sheets goes to…the Oakland A&#...
I’ll say this for Billy Beane: nobody in the last decade has cornered the market on ridiculously talented pitchers that may or may not be made of low-grade porcelain. Rich Harden, Justin Dukesherhcherchrrer and now Billy Beane has signed Ben Sheets to a 1-year deal worth $10M+. As long as Sheets...

Recycled Ray Allen and Amare rumors — things could be worse

Recycled Ray Allen and Amare rumors R...
In one of my many “the Warriors should get something for Monta Ellis while they can” posts I’ve written over the last six months, I threw out the idea that the Warriors should call Danny Ainge and see if they could unload Monta’s and Maggette’s contracts for Ray Allen’s...

Monta Ellis hurts his other ankle

Monta Ellis hurts his other ankle...
The Warriors can’t win for losing…players. Every game it’s another guy grabbing his ankle and hobbling off the floor, and last night it was the ironman. Monta Ellis hurt his “other” ankle this time, so at least we know the guy will finally enjoy some physical symmetry. Because...

Stephen Curry and the jaded Warrior fan

Stephen Curry and the jaded Warrior fan...
Frustration levels surrounding the Golden State Warriors in their home region have never been higher. Just check out what people are saying about Stephen Curry. Chris Cohan (the fake one, not the real one) refers to Curry as “GQ” and constantly points to statistical evidence which paints...

Watching Corey Maggette over the last month brings to mind the funniest story ever created by The Onion’s sports section. I can’t go into the specifics here… Wait, yes I can. My censor is me, and it’s 11 pm after another Warrior loss that will serve as another excuse-provider...

Wanna know why the Warriors can’t stay healthy?

Wanna know why the Warriors can’t ...
I’m a former member of the Golden State Warriors organization. No, I’m not joking. I even have the business cards to prove it. In one of the more short-sighted decisions of my mid-to-early 20’s (which is REALLY saying something), I decided to quit my steady full-time job in Petaluma...
