Dear Matt, I miss your Mohawk

by TheFortyFanatics on Mar 31, 2008 8:31 PM PDT

Dear Matthew Barnes,

I miss your Mohawk. More than that I miss what it did to you, to our team, and to our Bay. With the mohawk you hit clutch threes, you dunk in the face of MVPs, you make great passes, and you play great D.

Down the stretch here I think you need to consider those things that are bigger than you: the Warriors and Destiny. And I'm not talking about the stripper at the Gold Club, I'm talking about the Warriors fate (although I'm pretty sure the stripper preferred the mohawk).

In all seriousness, Matt, we need it back. If for no other reason than to scare some of the bandwagon fans out of my seats. To fire up the crowd that much more. To get our collective swagger on that much harder. To motivate me to start my own blog called fearthehawk.com.

You are Samson. The hawk, your hair: your power. Bring it back and let's take the 7th seed and start mashing in the playoffs.

those who goes to the game regularly can try starting some "We Want Mohawk" chants for Barnes.

didn't he actually shave the sides?

in that case wouldn't it be a Mohawk?

the Faux hawk is just for those whiny EMO-Punk singers who don't have the balls to actually cut their hair and they gel all their hair into dorsal fin on their head.

Be More Original

There's Fear the 'fro for Big Ben and Fear the Beard for Baron. Maybe something like "don't gawk the hawk" or "beware of hawk."

I have a suggestion

During the playoffs last year, I like many other people fashioned a Playoff Mohawk just like matt barnes. My favorite saying when he made a clutch three or drove the lane for a beautiful push shot, was "ROCK THE HAWK", i donno if will catch on, but the small group of people watching it with me seemed to like it...ROCK THE HAWK

by MontaAND1 on Mar 31, 2008 10:44 PM PDT reply actions

ROCK THE HAWK!

You start that?

Barnes' Mohawk MIGHT BE COMING BACK

I sit next to the Barber of the Warriors with my Season Tickets believe it or not. The same guy that does Baron's beard. The same guy that cuts Stack Jack's and Monta's hair etc. Heck - even B Wright and Watson.

I won't disclose the guys' name, but he does house calls to do these special appointments with Warrior players.

He DID Barnes' Mohawk last year and I'll talk to him in the coming game. BTW, if any of you guys would like to meet him or me, we're located in Section 208, Row DS - Seats 15-16.

Golden State Warriors fan since 1984. The Filipino sensation!

Bring it BACK

Hahaha, i was talkin to some of my friends about that and we think the reason for matt's slump this whole season is because of the mohawk. I know his mom died, but I dont think thats the reason because I'm sure everytime he steps on the court he does it for her!!!

Yeah, Bring it back. The Friar Tuck look is getting old.

friar tuck, haha. thats great. he really does look like him.

seriously though, i dont care what he does, just as long as he brings back his A game...

by KINGofCRASH on Apr 1, 2008 10:28 AM PDT up reply actions

Can't knock the hawk...

Barnes should definitely bring it back. It could create a mental switch in his head and give him that confidence that he had last season. Rock the Hawk!

I'm really hoping Matt Barnes starts playing well.

Not just for the sake of the Warriors too. You can't help but empathize with Barnes with what he's gone through in his NBA career. His play last year was borderline inspirational just b/c of the stuff he went through.
