New Found Popularity

So this is what it's like to be a Lakers fan. Everyone is talking about our Warriors. Celebrities are coming to multiple games. I heard a New York Knicks fan say, "My favorite team in the playoffs is the Warriors."

Are you kidding me? I've had to explain to people that The Golden State Warriors play in California, even to Bay Area natives a few times. Now Snoop has given up on his Lakers and joined the Warrior Wagon. What is this going to mean for us out of towners that have been forced to pony up to 200 bucks for League Pass or count the months between nationally televised games?

This year we had 4 nationally televised games. How many will we have next year?

I was trying to find out how many a team like the Lakers or Heat get but the GSW site is the only one that makes it easy to count up the televised games. If anyone finds the numbers for other teams post them up in a comment.

I Love Famous People!

Celebrity worship has always been one of my favorite pastimes.....just kidding.

Nobody at the Arena gave a shit about those people. When they put Too Short on the Jumbotron, he got a bigger cheer than any of the others who were there. Im am guilty of high-fiving Michael Rappaport after the game though.

my assumption

is that mavs v. warriors will become a new rivalry. the subtext will be "Will dirk bounce back from his humiliating loss??? has last season's playoff series killed his self-esteem completely and will he ever become the player he once was?"
