PrintWe had no idea this was coming. It was a cruel way for the best fans in the entire NBA to find out.
(Thanks to GovernorStephCurry for the FanShot)
HOW COULD HE DO THIS TO US?!
It gets better, so JUMP!
Although Golden State Warriors owner Chris Cohan aka the worst owner in sports history is on his way out, he had some pretty blunt parting words for Anthony Tolliver. GSoM member brutusbrutus relayed the shots to us (another GSoM EXCLUSIVE!):
In all seriousness, good luck to Anthony Tolliver. It was fun rooting for him as a member of the Golden State of D-Leaguers. I still remember the day he was called up from the NBA D-League. Very smart and likable cat. He worked hard and deserves every penny the Timberwolves are paying him. The NBA needs more guys like him. Thanks Ant. You embodied the true unstoppable baby-ness of a Golden State Warrior and for that you will never be forgotten.
Some Anthony Tolliver highlights:
- The call-up and PMC's exclusive scoop
- 19 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal in the 2009-2010 Golden State of Heart finale
- 34 points in the 1,333th win game plus some great partying
- Some solid financial advice [Slam]
- An unforgettable member of the "Good Times"...

God speed Tolly
Keep your assets covered up there in the frozen north
and splurge on a new Hyundai with that big payday.

Poll error?
where’s the choice for " Neither the Warriors or Tolly will never ever get a ring" ?

NOT happy about next season at all!
Again, what has the team gained by all of these changes?
Curry, has lost his enthusiasm. It shows in his demeanor. These new owners are just an in debt pit!
Lots of fun on the Knicks blog these days. They are laughing at our 3 to 1 trade! If D Lee is so great, why are NY fans not sad that he is gone?
I am just sad…

Curry, has lost his enthusiasm. It shows in his demeanor.
Can I play the “let’s make stuff up” game too?
Okay, here’s my try.
David Lee is actually Gregory Marie Oden in disguise. He will blow his knee out in the first 5 games because his body is fragile.
'Like' my band. I mean, it'd be awesome if you did that.

Well he blew his finger this summer having participated in NO GAMES..
so what else is new?
do you know
how many NY fans came to our board to congratulate us getting Lee?
Goal: 8 seed!
by dso on Aug 7, 2010 1:13 PM PDT up reply actions
and, you do know
- NY fans were looking at the possibility of getting nothing back for Lee if he left as a FA without the sign&trade
- Curry has been quoted extensively on his enthusiasm for the coming season with Lee
there might be other reasons to worry about this upcoming season, but imo Curry and Lee are the last things that should make us sad at this point

Knicks fans loved Lee
Forums are supposed to contain speculation but you’re not even making sense right now.
1) Knicks fans loved Lee. With how unsatisfied those fans are w/ their team they are not laughing @ anybody.
2) New owners are in a debt pit … Hey it’s not broke ppl like you & me buying the Warriors. One of the people involved is a partial owner of the Celtics, they have some knowledge of what they’re walking into. They’re not just basketball fans, they’re successful businessmen.
3) Don’t make us laugh w/ your personal interpretation of Curry’s thoughts.
Lacob made a comment
to the effect of “Man, why does everyone want to talk about the business end of it? We’re good at it, so let us worry about that. I’d rather talk basketball.”
I’m taking is suggestion, myself :)
Baseball is a chamber orchestra. Football is a marching band. Basketball is a modern quintet. jazz, rock, hiphop, pop/ all about the beat./ still my revolution not/ til you dance through it.
Well
Its a reality that it is a part of today’s sports landscape. The business end has been blamed for why us fans have been screwed over for the past 16 years. Some may argue that our love was taken advantage of for financial gain. Anyway, nothing wrong with fans being educated about the financial side of things. The cap space and contracts are, after all, just as much a factor of building a succesful team as fg% and tremendous upside.

Your just trying to start an argument
“Curry lost his enthusiasm”, “Why are Knicks fans not sad that he is gone?”
haahaa – Good one

Off topic
I was looking at the game day links and at the Warriors Wonder logo. It’s a spin off of the old logo, so are they going to change it for the new one?

Better question: Who has a Tolliver jersey?

Burning my Tolliver jersey
How could he do that to the bay?!
OT: WHAT ABOUT IVERSON??
