R Dizzle is assembling a FANtastic final recap for all you golden folk which will drop shortly, but I just wanted to toss in a few thoughts as the 2008-2009 Golden State Warriors season comes to a close.
!!-P-M-U-J
First and most important on behalf of the entire GSoM Crew, a special thank you to all of the loyal readers, commenters, and friends/ fam throughout the blogosphere and media at large for your continued support of this project. Many of you have been with us for years, well before the short-lived, but unforgettable We Believe era. It's honestly not the least bit easy for all of us to keep this ship sailing on course with the constant suck of Clippers North, but with you all on board the ride's always golden. Much appreciated.
Believe it or not, but Golden State of Mind (previously Golden State Warriors BLOG) will be turning 4 in about a month and a half. Can you believe it? For those of you who have been with us since 2005... are you out of your mind? Just kidding. It's cool to know that we've spent about a presidential term "maxin' and relaxin'/ shooting some b-ball" on the 'net for this long with you. It's like a pick-up game and we're all rolling deep together on the team that keeps stinking up the joint, but is still smiling. I couldn't have selected a better group of teammates to go to battle with and keep losing with (except for that one big exception of course).
This is a very different ending than the previous 3 seasons we've covered here at GSoM. Just for a little Reflection Eternal (The Blast) check out the last 3 finales:
- Recap: Warriors 102, Jazz 105 (4/19/06)
- Recap: Blazers 98, Warriors PLAYOFFS!!- UNSTOPPABLE BABY!! (4/19/07)
- Recap: Warriors 121, SEATTLE SuperSonics 126- Too Hot for TV! That's That. (4/17/08)
Year 4 will be written...

Right back at y'all
Good communities don’t magically appear. It takes dedication and passion from good writers to keep bringing good material on every game, before and afterwards, win or lose. And it takes contribution from the reader side as well to post thoughtful fanposts and informative fanshots to make us well informed and intelligent Warriors fans. I personally enjoy and appreciate both sides of this community. Let’s keep it going into the next season!
Now, enough of this mushiness. Bring on the playoffs!
i already miss it
it doesn’t matter how the season goes; i’m always sad to see it end. not the best year for the w’s, but i enjoyed the ride, just like every year. it was more heartache than joy, more frustration than elation, but i know i wanted to be there for every bit of it. thanks to the mods and all the rest of you just posting in your spare time; for someone stuck in st. paul, mn, it’s good to have people to talk warriors ball with. this site not only provides that outlet, but has tons of people who know their stuff and are passionate about warriors basketball and basketball in general. i look forward to posting through the playoffs here, even if it stings to see the warriors sitting it out again this year.
how many days ‘til next season starts? i’m ready now.
heart of a champion, will of the warrior.
Hooray!!
Even though I didn’t join until last offseason, and I haven’t been as active as I have been lately, I’ve actually followed GSoM since it was on the old website and I LOVE IT. It’s so funny and full of true fans. (: yaay!
Azubuike? More like Azucutie!

well now that Lakers got their own website im out, i am a lakers fan posing as a warriors fan...but no longer!
Its time to talk about how Kobe is better than Jordan, Magic, and Paully shore rolled into one! Maybe i’ll be back if yall make the playoffs next year
Yogi's hybernation is over...
and I’m having withdrawals already.
From here on ‘til summer league (i try to lessen dubs brain-coverage at this time, just like Nellie), at least i’ll be able to return to society….hang out with non-sports lovin’ friends during monday, wednesday, fridays and sundays (and some saturdays), eat on my dining table, be able to concentrate on workdays w/ no impending game itching to visit GSOM, actually be able to play bball at night instead of ditching my friends to watch the Dubs…
Alas, the season is over, and life is normal again….but as the ever-blue Dr. Manhattan told Adrian Veidt in Watchmen: “…It never really ends.”
Next season’s gonna be even more interesting with AR becoming a proven starting 3/4 swing (and cockier?), with morrow having gained more confidence, with ellis & jax starting healthy (jinx?), and our mystery draft pick—and subsequent undrafted/d-league picks right after—as well as a new LAKER SBN Blog….ALL the drama, laughs, head scratches, “rocky” & “refs suck” chants, and haterade one could take in one drink.
Thanks for keepin’ it Ride or Die, The City style, GSOM. It’s always an unstoppable season with ya’ll riding shotgun.
Withdrawals
Man, the withdrawals started to hit me just now. No more checking my bookmarks for Warriors articles and updates. No more schedule checking, scoreboard checking, or standings checking. No more mental preparation for each game. It’s all a void now.

Thanks for another year...
I’ve been coming here regularly for more than two years, and I have to say that there is so much to love about GSoM. Not many of my friends are into the NBA so I can’t tell you how nice it is to have somewhere to go to talk hoops with other Warrior fans.
I love the format of the sight. For the most part there is a very friendly atmosphere (especially considering this is the internet). There is good debate, a healthy amount of humor and up to date news. It’s really a one-stop-shop for Warriors fans.
I just want to say thanks to all the Main-page writers for all they’ve done. I also want to thank the other members of the community for providing some of the best basketball related content available.
Thing 2
+1 to everything olympicmike stated above. Additionally . . .
- I used to check out the old Warriors Blog because it was funny. Atma and crew know how to thow a caption on an NBA photo as well as anyone in the business.
- Also, I think the quality of dicourse has increased sustantially in the last couple of months. I’ll keep my opinions to myself as to how and why this has transpired — regardless, it has made for a much more well-rounded and thoughtful community IMO.
- Oh, and what happened to djfuzzylogic? I liked that guy!
- Cohan/Rowell/Myth of Mullin/Whatever, as long as we have either Don Nelson or Jim Barnett, I’ll keep coming back for more.
- Thanks to the Owners of GSoM for all the hard work and respecting diverse perspectives.

2009 DRAFT Point Guard
Assuming that no miracles happen and we pick at #7 am I the only one one in the world that thinks TY Lawson is the passer we need ? Strong, fast, defender and will overcome the height issue.
