Warriors (W-L): BAD
Cavaliers (W-L): BETTER THAN OURS
Time: 4:30 PM PST
TV: CSN
Radio: KNBR 680

Ah yes, tis the day to buy stuff.  Anyone ever wonder why today is called Black Friday?  Well my fave website wikipedia came up with this...

The term "Black Friday" originated in Philadelphia in reference to the heavy traffic on that day. (see 'Origin of the name' below) More recently, merchants and the media have used it instead to refer to the beginning of the period in which retailers are in the black (i.e., turning a profit).

Interesting...interesting.

I've been looking for deals all day and I have come up with some really good ones including my brand new Canon Powershot 770 IS off Amazon.  Tis a nice find if I do say so myself.

But the one thing I have yet to find on this Black Friday is a deal with this guy

and this guy

and THIS guy

for a combined salary of $10 mil a year for 5 years after 2010 when they all become free agents.  What gives?

And ya know what REALLY grinds my gears....

Oh well, we gotta play the Cavs for now I guess..

Maybe that'll pop up on bensbargains or slickdeals later today.

Jump...

Eye of the Tiger?

I am not a happy R Dizzle. 

About 5 seconds into the game, I lost my excitement to watch the game.

As I sit here with my bottle of Chocolate Nesquick, all I can do is ask...WHY?!?!

And then a few more things.

Peep the jump....

Update [FJ]: Boxscore

Please be our Luke Skywalker for the year!

Warriors: 5-8

Wizards: 1-10

Tip-Off: 4:00pm PST

Radio: KNBR 1050

TV: CSN Bay Area

Oh man, oh man, oh man.  I'm so excited I'm going to pee my pants. Seriously, someone get me a diaper.  Or at least go find me Mike Dunleavy...

Hehehe..

Our newest acquisition, Jamal Crawford, will get his first opportunity to drop 20 points for Dubs and bring some new life to the Warriors.  Sure sure, I'm excited, but what does Jamal think about the whole trade?

It feels so good. It feels so good. Honestly, I think this system fits me better than any system in the league. Coming here with coach Nelson, a Hall of Fame coach … it’s re-energizing. I’m excited.

I'm excited too JC.  I'm excited too.

What better way to bring in our newest player than by playing the worst team in the NBA?  First they throw out a max contract for Gilbert (which we did too) and...he can't play til January.  Then they lost another starter, Brenden Haywood.  AND THEN they lost to an undermanned Knicks team, who only had 7 active players.  Well, that sucks. 

And the cherry on top - they fired their head coach, Eddie Jordan, while he was handing out turkeys for a charity event.  Talk about unclassy...

Well, that's obviously horrible karma, sooo...easy win?

R Dizzle's Predictions

• Warriors win by 20
• JC busts on to the scene with 15 points and 10 assists
• Andris gets another double-double...yaaawwwwnnnn
• Agent Zero...looks fly in his suit.
• Antawn Jamison destroys us on the boards.
• Mickael Pietrus scores 30...oh wait, my bad scratch that one.  (just for you goldenstatelove)

GO DUBS!

Question: Who can take away our 12 point lead in the 3rd Quarter?

Answer: The Answer.

Yet another loss.  But, for a game that we weren't supposed to even contend in, we put a good fight for the first 30 minutes.  Things were going smoothly, shots were being made, defense was being played, the Pistons were gettin boxed out, and it looked like we were going to beat a team that we stood no chance against...but, its 2008.

And in the words of Atma Brother #1 - WE BELIEVE IS DEAD.

Sigh...

I'm NEVER going back to the Finals? Then why did I go to the Pistons?!?!

Warriors (W-L): 3-5
Pistons (W-L): 5-2
Time: 7:30 PM PST
TV: TNT
Radio: KNBR 680

The Pistons made a blockbuster trade and...they lose two straight.  But hey, Iverson got his first win as a Piston by destroying the dominating Kings.  If we couldn't beat them, they have to be good, right?  ...Right?

Here's what I see for this game - ENERGY.  Although Tuesday's victory against the Wolves wasn't a pretty one, a win is a win, and I think that brought some confidence in the young'ns.  It was amazing watching Morrow drain those two three's and I can forsee this man taking Al's role as a 3 point specialist.

A.I. and crew have a deep team, they look better on paper, but they got nothin' on us!

As one of the Warrior Girls said to me at the game on Tuesday  - WE STILL BELIEVE!

Ok, that didn't really happen...but I can pretend right?

R Dizzle's Predictions

• Warriors LOSE by 1(just for you saintdee)
  
• We trade Al Harrington at the beginning of the game for the Rock Band 2 Special Edition Bundle.  The Halftime show is Rob Kurz singing "Eye of the Tiger" with Morrow on the lead guitar, DeMarcus Nelson on bass, and Turiaf on the drums.  The crowd goes wild and stays to see if there's an encore after the game. 
  
• Andris gets another double-double...sigh.  How bout a triple-double already?  I see ya taking the ball up Andris!  12 ASSISTS!!
• Ron Ron gets hyphy on the sidelines as Morrow drains four 3's
• I get knocked out by my buddy and miss the 4th quarter cause I keep yelling "YOU GOT THE ANSWER, BUT WHAT'S THE QUESTION?"
• Jack rests on the bench for 3 minutes. 
  
• Kwame Brown scores 20 points.  You don't believe me now...but just wait.
• Monta Ellis scores 30...oh wait, my bad.  Scratch that one.

HIT THE JUMP FOR A CLASSIC VID!

Jack and Nellie have had better days....

Now that wasn't a pretty game.  I found myself distraught as the last second ticked off the clock and I said, "What could I possibly do to make myself feel better about this?"

Easy, watch clips from Cool Runnings!

Basketball?  As in, ball goes in the hoop?

This guy kinda dominated last game

Warriors (W-L): 2-3
Grizzlies (W-L): 2-3
Time: 7:30 PM PST
TV: CSN
Radio: KNBR 680

Let's try this again shall we?

Last Monday's game was straight up EMBARASSING.  So how's about we find some way to stop Marc Gasol and not let O.J. Mayo and Rudy Gay tear us up?

Sound good?  SOUNDS GREAT!

Going for .500 baby!

R Dizzle's Predictions:

• Warriors by 7
• B-Wright tears up and has another career high game!  Yeah I said it!
  
• Marc Gasol only gets 20 points...ONLY.
• Al gets to chill on the bench for 3 quarters.
• Andris gets his 6th straight double-double of the season, the Roaracle goes wild, and the "MVP" chants rain louder and louder!
• Baron Davis scores 30...oh wait, my bad.  Scratch that one.

Yeah baby!

Alright, admit it.  That game wasn't pretty nor was it that exciting to watch (go free league pass!).  But we finally finished a game strong and came out with win #1.

Hit the jump to hear my thoughts about yesterday's game.

Radio: KNBR 680

Alright, I've calmed down a bit from yesterday's game (except not really cause I'm writing this right after I wrote last night's recap) and I'm ready for the new day!

Can the Dubs finally finish a game?  Forgot about what happened yesterday, and Wednesday, it's time to come in, play mentally and with heart and take down this Nets team.

Who do the Nets have anyway?  Devin Harris?  He's still scared from his beatdown during the 2k7 playoffs!  Vince Carter?  Waaay past his prime (ignore the 21 points on the season opener).  Richard Jefferson?  Whatever man..

Win #1 comes tonight!
