Baron Debuts with the Clips!

by NaturalBornBaller on Oct 9, 2008 9:02 PM PDT

Our beloved ex patriot Warrior, Baron Davis, debuts tonight for the Clippers vs. the Los Angeles Lakers. As a Warrior Fan living in the lower state, the coming year promises to be bitter sweet.

The preseason game has just started and Baron has around 7 points/ 5 assists half way into the first quarter. I'm torn between rooting for him (easy in this case considering that he's playing the hated Lakers), and hoping that he fizzles this season to justify the prudent and stingy decision-making of management. One thing i think we will definitely improve on is shot selection... sans Jackson. Baron is still throwing up uglies.

When you watch him this season, will you be rooting for him/ hating on him? And what's with his decision to change his number from 5 to 1? The Almighty $Dollar$ perhaps. Oh, I suppose the CAt snatched it from him. Personally, I'll be wishing Baron his usual dominance, just not at the cost of at better record in the Pacific Division.

For those who said Baron was fat and overweight

Were morons, because he is in great shape this year, and if he stays healthy hes still the BD we got to enjoy. But screw the Clippers anyways, they wont be better than us this year.

G State will be better.

G State will be better. The Clippers traditionally suck. I thought G State would make the playoffs, and was surprised they didn’t. This is also my first GSOM post, and I am a relative newcomer to blogging. Plus I have warmed up to the Warriors. Especially after the Dallas series. " I BELIEVE ".

You need to work on that attitude if you wanna be a warriors fan.

haha

best way to be a warrior fan keep your hopes drastically low so when great happens it fells 100000x’s better! and if it goes the way you thought it would than it won’t feel so bad.

I'm sorry. You are right.

My apologies. I was referring to last season when they didn’t make it, and I didn’t phrase things right. I do need to work on that attitude. I didn’t mean any disrespect. I am sorry to all. Please forgive me being off to a bad start here. I’ll work on that attitude.
