why one shouldn't be a warriors fan

PrintI remember the year AFTER the warriors beat the mavericks. Everyone in the bay was hyped. for good reason. But the basic climate was that THIS year they would go deep into the playoffs and ascend to one of the west elite.
i laughed in the face of my brother and cousins. oh silly you. dont you know who your rooting for? its the Warriors! for god sake!. you are talking about an organization that has never won anything in its entire existence of anything.
I am going to tell you why if you root for the warriors you a worthless as a human being. in fact, you are not a human being and everything about you is a joke.
Here is why: what is the one constant through all the horrible times of warrior history? countless stars have gone through, countless coaches, countless gm's. how many times have saviors come around? the latest were chris mullin and baron davis. You see unlike the clippers and the bucks GS has actually managed to draft really good players. the problem is that it can't HOLD on to them, or really, is unwilling to hold on to them. ask your self that question seriously, who is in charge of contract extensions and has been the one constant through all the misery???
the ownership!
Choosing pj carlisimo who now coaches kevin durant into oblivion over latrell sprewell who goes on to lead his team to the finals was a smooth decision, letting go of c-webb was heartwarming, signing adonyle foyle instead of gilbert arenas was really really smart, and now finally watching the player that brought them back from like 50 straight non-playoff appearances and got the "die-hard" fans to suddenly start being die-hard again/all-of-a-sudden go to the clippers cause you did not want to give him 2 extra years that he wanted was tremendous.
when you get talent and dont resign them, when you change coaches and gm's a billion times over and the problem is the Ownership.
This is when you bail as fan. you see a die-hard fan, a die-hard fan who is a human-being, stays through the tuff times, the tuff times being when a team doesn't have talent, or even a bad coach, or even worse a bad gm. but when the OWNERSHIP is bad, you bail. you start rooting for the Sacremento kings, who are gonna come back cause they got good OWNERSHIP but just young talent, you start rooting for the blazers even if they are the jailblazers, cause THEY got a good gm and good ownership. You see real franchises are able be elite contenders every ten years or so (like the blazers) and the great franchises the ones that everyone should be a fan of are elite every five years or so. You know like the one in l.a..... all the rest of the franchises lead by the warriors, clippers, memphis, the bucks, new jersey, okc (pretty soon), the cavs will never attract free-agents, will never get enough draft picks to stay, and if they ever do the draft picks will just get injured or something really bad will happen... well cause they are just that kind of team.
All those teams should be scrapped and their players given to real teams so that every team will be more talented. kind of like the 80's.
If you are still a warriors fan everything about you is a joke. you live in a fantasy world. you live in a world where you still get to be a kid and believe in santa. You all have dreary jobs with loser fat girlfriends and THIS is the only thing that keeps you sane. you ask your friend... "shes pretty, right?"
Im telling you. wash your hands of the franchise and come back when they sell the team richard riordon and he moves the team to the city.

You don't know too much, do you?
In your second paragraph, you wrote: “you are talking about an organization that has never won anything in its entire existence of anything.”
Why don’t you educate yourself first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974E280%9375_NBA_season
Sincerely,
Warriors fans

hahahaah
1974!
hahahahahahahaha… there were like 3 teams in the league back then. anything before 1980 doesn’t count. Bill russel is a joke and so was your 1974 team.
bill russel was
smaller then a.c. green. and there was like 8 teams back then. Im not sure exactly. the point is his billion championships dont mean a thing when talking about the greats.
and by default same with 1974.
also
im not sure that 1974 warriors had same ownership as now. which is the point of my post.
THE OWNERSHIP!
wooow
worst. response. ever.
that was zach randolph-esque

3 teams in the league? nothing counts? bill russell? YOUR 1974 team (they were still the warriors back then, buddy)?
Thank you, Dubs.
Why does nothing before 1980 count?
Maybe some teams weren’t as good as the teams now, but they were the best team of the time, which is why they were champions. To be champion, you don’t have to be better than teams 35 years later.

its easier to be a champion
when there are less teams and athletic ability is nothing compared to the way it is now. I will say the same thing about now when the nba is truly global and everyone in the world has equal ability to develop basketball skills and the pool of talented players is much larger.
Okay, your crowned champion
when you win the finals, which means you are the best team in the league. It’s not like a team that won the championship 30 years ago had an unfair advantage over the other teams, they were in the same time as them. They didn’t go to the future and just take some players back in time.

Drugs are bad, kids.
Maybe
when the Lakers are old and they start to suck, you can go become a Blazers fan?

what a total loser
it’s so annoying when losers like mandoman10 make comments like that.
another bandwagon jumper (aka LA faker fan)
Having lived in LA… i noticed how that one year the lakers did not make the playoffs and no one sported their laker gear. Flags were off the cars and everyone went into hiding. Seems like they jump the bandwagon when it’s convenient to cheer for a team that’s doing well. Isn’t that right Molester… er.. Modonnaman?
Watching Kobe cry on national tv while being accused of rape makes you wonder, “how can anyone worship a that?” ….idiots perhaps?
not only that...
but fakers fans are known to boo their own team at home games when they’re not playing well and they go to the games late and leave early all the time.
im not sure
if any fandom keeps up with flags when team is in a bad year. My point is exactly that… to jump off a team when the are perennially bad through bad coaches, bad players and bad gms. When that is the case then you should jump off.
it has nothing to do with having one down year.
Hahaha
I love how Puke Walton can’t seem to find anyone to high five…

Heh, no worries
To be clear, the Crybaby Vujacic clip was meant as a playful dig at Mando-Troll, not at you.
Of course I agree with others who preached calm, mostly because reacting as emotionally as you did only gives him satisfaction that he, as a troll, doesn’t deserve. Still, I totally appreciated your honesty and emotion when you him you would kick his a**. ;-D
Still sure why my defense of Bill Russell got deleted. Maybe the “made the Lakers his b****” all seven times he faced them in the Finals" line? Ah well: change the “b****” part to “Russell PWN3D the Lakers, etc…” Either way, anyone who says they have “no respect” for Bill Russell (or Jordan, or Magic, or equiv.) probably deserves a straight ban on any basketball blog. Absolutely no good can come of a line like that. Ditto for telling fans of a team that they should just stop being fans.

Your point
is that you’re not a loyal fan. A loyal fan sticks through with their team through the good AND the bad. Just because there’s been more bad than good doesn’t mean anything. You also make it sound like everything has been bad, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
Just go get a life. “Ooh I’m so boooreedd I’m gonna go tell fans of other teams that they should stop being fans teehee.”
GSOM when are you guys gonna delete this worthless post. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so crappy on this site.

Anthony Randolph isn’t locked up …if they let him go, I’ll agree with you and then kill myself.
by JimBarnett2KevinGarnett on Nov 23, 2008 4:36 PM PST reply actions
exactly..
sounds like you just need one more round or warriors good drafting and then inability to keep that player. Anthony randolph is a good candidate.
the point is
that your ownership is defunct. come back to the warriors when the team is sold to someone else. I dropped the 49ers when debartolo was out.
get it?
dude
thats what you call no loyalty..we are here cause we are fans of the TEAM not the ownership..regardless of how bad they are..
yeah we get it what youre sayin..but really no need to spend all day on GSOM tryna prove somethin if you aint a fan fool
by the way
who recced this? the whole post deserves to be deleted. it is worthless and so is mandoman
Thank you, Dubs.
this guy is an idiot
obviously he doesn’t know the defintion of a fan. You can’t say you ever were a warriors fan because you jumped ship. Real fans don’t ditch their teams.
They come back to these teams when they have been sold in hopes that this ownership will strive to be competitive.
Mandoman just proved that Lakers fans are not loyal and are only fans when they’re “doing good”
WARRIORS BASKETBALL!!! Patiently waiting for a title...I may be waiting for a long time...
Forget that guy, fans are defined as being behind your team through thick and thin, up or down, and I for one know that we are real fans compared to all those powerhouses when it is just ‘convinient’ or is the ‘in thing’ to cheer for your team.

Cuz
the Lakers site sucks. All the bandwagoners are off doing something else. No one is devoted enough to write any posts. That’s what I’m guessing.

I just wanna
Punch you through my damn computer screen. Your one sided ignorant perspective just pisses me off. One of the big “+” with Barons departure was the bandwagon fans that left with him. My Giants, Warriors, and 49ers aren’t the best but i’ll be happy to root for them. Along with our bay area buddies A’s and Raiders. So let us love our team for better and for worst and you go franchise hopping to the latest team that is winning.
man i’m pissed off.
Faker Fans
Only watch games when they are at a playoffs. Besides that they don’t really care about the lakers. Coz they really don’t like watching 4 quarter of basketball seeing Kobe doing and doing that shot again and again what a boring game. I rather pay me a $99 dollar worth of league pass than bored me to death watching the lakers. i hate moving to L.A damn recession
u sack of poo
get ur blasphemy out of here. you’re a worthless speck of dirt on my shoe who doesn’t get to root for the DUBS!
its a good thing im a yankees, celtics, patriots, machester united, red wings, tiger woods and roger federer fan
what it is to be a bandwagon jumper right mandoman?
I used to be a Red Sox and Patriots fan
Now I root for the Phillies and NY Giants. But I still loves me my Celtics … for now! XD

I for one am sick of watching Boston win so much. 3 super bowls, 2 world series and an nba championship in 8 years! That entire town must be on the sports bandwagon. There always seems to be a championship every year for them.

Another bozo from the bay area stuck at a $8.25 an hour job who thinks he knows anything.
Get back to class, learn how to …..read.
We just seem to be cluttered with these morons on here who think the playoff run 2 years ago…. well forget it. Its not like they will understand anyways.
Undertand the spirit, yet can't jump on board...
This kid is funny. I understand his frustration or curiosity of his family members and friends that follow the Dubs. Yes, they are one of the worst professional sports organizations in the last 25 years for the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL. It’s been bad, it’s been awful at times and it’s straight depressing when you look at the state the Dubs have been in while looking around the NBA.
There are way too many reasons to sign off on the Dubs. Just because they aren’t known by 70% of sports fans across the USA doesn’t mean you should sign them off. Just because they never go to even the playoffs doesn’t mean you should sign them off. Just because their ownership/management sucks doesn’t mean you sign them off. Look at the Lakers. They were a bad team for many years before Kobe and Shaq were brought in. Look at the Celtics before KG, Pierce and Ray Allen came in. Things turn around and in this day and age of free agency, it can happen to anyone.
This kid is well, a kid and has a long way to go in life if he gets distracted so easily by challenging things. Never come to a website and trash the reason it exists i.e. a fan blog site. What a shcmuck this kid is, but hey its America right. The fact he is a bandwagoneer is just that, he’s a fair-weather fan. I’ve stuck it out with the Dubs, 49ers and A’s for years because they are who they are. They’ve all had their days on top, but the difference between me and mandoman10 is that I don’t have A D D and can tolerate a team that doesn’t always win. Take your Ritalin, go support the Giants, Phillies, Celtics, Red Wings, Jimmie Johnson, Tiger Woods and Brazil Soccer and have fun. I’ll root for who I want mandoman10.
i could never switch teams from
the dubs, giants, and niners. i can’t fathom what it would be like to root for some awful, ugly, smelly, disgusting colors of some other team.
three words for mandoman

Mandoman a closet ex-Warrior fan
I betcha he used to be a Warrior fan until Cohan bought the team….

Douche. Go back to L.A. and choke on some smog and a tranny’s dick. If anyone knows how to hate L.A. teams it’s us S.D. residents down here. Ask those punk bitches what happens when I go to a Dodger game. I usually end up in handcuffs……
