Warriors vs Sonics: We Want Our Mascot Back

Gw090_tiny by Fantasy Junkie on in Previews

Oklahoma City @ Golden State


2927763373_ae3eb47504_medium

Warriors (W-L): 1-1
Sonics (W-L): 1-1
Time: 7:30pm PST
TV: None
Radio: KTCT 1050

The Warriors first home game this year comes against the mighty Seattle Supersonics. Even though it's just a preseason game I'm sure fans at the arena will be excited to see how the new guys, the young guys, and the old guy look. But many fans will be angry as 12 guys with Thunder on their jerseys trot out yet none of them will be doing flips, throwing out free t-shirts or walking on their hands the length of the court. Something is wrong with that. Like someone said in the comments awhile back, we should take the Sonics mascot now that ours has been stolen. It's not like Seattle needs him. Well at least lets borrow him for this game. Or maybe Thunder will make a guest appearance and show the Thunder how to be Thunder and bring the thunder.

 

Predictions

  • Warriors win by 12
  • Jax and Maggette combine for a whopping 35 minutes
  • Anthony Randolph plays well except for his 3 turnovers
  • The 3 headed PG of Dickau, Williams, and Watson remains a mystery

CSN isn't going to broadcast it?

So in order for us to watch OUR Warriors play at OUR home, we have to go online to find a broadcast from the team that stole OUR mascot? How messed up is that?!?

demarcus

is going to be starting tonight, i cant wait to see how he plays, (even though we probably wont be able to physically see it. haha) but i hope the warriors keep him. i like this kid

Go Warriors!

Let’s beat them bad. Preseason or not, Monta or not. Let’s beat them and bad. GO WARRIORS! In regards to a recent post, I’m working on my attitude on becoming a Warriors fan. I hope that is better, and if not is it at least in the right direction?

Dude chill out

The other poster was just messing around. He meant is as a joke since Warriors lose most of the time so you shouldn’t be too optimistic.

And take back that Mascot too.

Do take back that mascot. They stole it. I used to be a Sonics fan ( I am close to Seattle in Victoria, B.C. Canada ) and now that they moved I hate OKC Thunder with a passion. I hope every team beats them and bad, And one more thing. GO WARRIORS! I feel bad about thte bad attitude in a post, and am doing what I can to make up for it.

Just got back from the game (left early)

Hendrix stole the ball twice and tried to go coast-to-coast twice and missed two lay-ups other than that he was solid.
DeMarcus nelson is good he had a big dunk in the 3rd quarter that had the crowd cheering.
Bellinelli looked good, his passing seems underrated though, he got a screen from Brandon Wright dribbled to the left and then with his right hand did a behind the back pass to Brandon Wright, Wright missed the shot though.
Ronny Turiaf looked good but he airballed a jumpshot 3 feet behind the freethrow line…another thing that Turiaf did was right after Damien Wilkins scored Turiaf passed the ball right back to Wilkins and Wilkins scored again (he was called for a technical cause Turiaf pushed him)
I was disappointed when Anthony Randolph was charged with the block and EARL WATSON got the and-1. Randolph 6-10/ Watson 6-1 i think he should have tried to block the shot…
Left early so i didn’t see Marrow play,

If I am wrong i will respond with a D'Oh

YOU DIDN'T MISS MUCH

w/ Morrow! He hasn’t done much in camp! As much as I’d like a good shooter on the team, it might be better to go w/ DeMarcus Nelson and Hendrix. I’d also consider Dickau since he’s a vet and serviceable. IMO probably better than CJ. CJ = YAAAAAAWN!!

by scottiepimppen on Oct 12, 2008 9:26 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

OOPS

First thing Morrow did when he came in was turn the ball over and I don’t even think he had a shot attempt.

by scottiepimppen on Oct 12, 2008 9:28 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

went to the game on saturday too.

DeMarcus was good. Got to move up to like the 8th row of mid court in the boo-gee area for a minute to see the dunk close up. That was dope. He represented Bud’s Burgers and the N2Deep Movement.

Marco was a stud.

Disappointed in AR’s performance, but I’m sure he’ll do better when the actual season starts. B-wright looked good out there and I liked how AR played at the same time with him for a moment.

Hope Nelie plays them together for certain matchups.

Hendrix reminded me of Adonal Foyle. He should be a beast with the boards and defense. It was a horrible site to see him go coast to coast on a couple fast breaks.

One thing i noticed while i was talking to my boy about how we don’t have Thunder as our mascot anymore, was…

[ dramatic pause ]

Where were the Warrior Girls? Did they all get laid off with Thunder NOOOOOOO!

Pwah!

They should be back for the regular season right?

[ Looks around nairbusly with high concern ]
