For better or worse, I've been a long time Golden State Warriors fan. The team has been a soap opera the past several years and although I know that with the ownership in place the warriors are bound to mess up even more, I still choose to follow them. For the most part they are still an exciting team to watch. They play fast, they can run the other team off the court, when their shooting is on, they simply can't be stopped. But then there are the lulls during the game when turnovers, missed rebounds and careless fouls creep in. When the players turn to the ref after every play because they're convinced they didn't get a call and the the frustration sets in. The players are confused and it's ugly to watch. It's at those times when I notice the little things. Things like:- The growing tattoo mural on Monta Ellis.
- How Corey Maggette pouts his lips when he shoots free throws. He also has a go to stance when he complains to the refs - In the slightly knees bent, but hands out in the "what did I do?" look- Watching Chris Hunter run up and down the court slightly reminds me of watching Erick Dampier as a Warrior. Except Hunter has way better hands.
- Baby faced Anthony Randolph is starting to look more like Will Smith.
- That sharp shooter Anthony Morrow could be a stand-in as a villain on a TV show. His facial expressions somewhat remind me of the hyenas in "The Lion King."
Even with Stephen Jackson and Baron Davis gone, there's some interesting characters on the team to watch. Hopefully, I'll also see some good wins along the way.
