I don't know how you're getting any sleep (#2)

Those west coast games are killing me. The west has by the more exciting games this year and we're basically screwed in the east watching prime time blowouts like Nets-Raptors and Pistons-Magic. It's freakin sad. Meanwhile, I actually want to stay up and watch Denver-San Antonio and Warriors-Mavericks but I can't. At most I'm seeing 3 quarters and going to bed hoping to see good news in the morning.

I'm not gonna jinx the warriors but this has been fun.

Any room? (#3)

I usually say nicer things about cancer, terrorism and gas prices than I do about the NBA, but I've been listening to the last two Warrior games (sirius is my new god) at work and I'm hooked on this team. I was cheering out loud with my headphones on at the excitement of the last few mins of game 4. I wish the NBA did 2-3-2 so the next game would be in Oakland.

And this coming from a guy who lives in a city where the NBA couldn't be more unpopular if it was run by al-Qaeda.

...and I'm not just saying that as a shameless homer, but the NBA needed an upset like the Warriors beating Dallas. It has become too predictable to pick who has been coming out of each conference. A Warriors win makes the West wide open. It means either Golden State, Utah or most probably Houston is getting to the Western Conference Finals. That's team other than the Phoenix-San Antonio-Dallas troika.

Staying up Late (#5)

Following the A's on the Extra Innings package has got me used to staying up late. Last night was extraordinary though. I was so pumped up, I couldn't get to bed until 4 in the morning. It's safe to say that a ton of Mountain Dew got me through the day.

Warriors rule... (#7)

Great article...and I really can't express how amazing the Warriors are. I never even cared for the NBA before that trade.

Total mea culpa on my part for initially criticizing that trade. I thought giving up Diogu made it too much. However Golden State doesn't make the playoffs without that trade. It has turned out to be an incredible move. Unlike most sportswriters I have no problem admitting that I'm an idiot 48.7% of the time with that being one of my bigger blunders.
