It makes me wonder, because the city has not won a championship since 1964? With the Cavaliers now in the NBA Finals, I wonder how it would look if somehow the Cavs do win the NBA Finals, is what I mean? Of course, when the Golden State Warriors defeat the Houston Rockets. It won’t be easy for Cleveland though. But it does make me wonder what that atmosphere will be like for a city that has not won a pro sports title in over 50 years?

Go Warriors!!!! It’s been 40 years since the Warriors won a championship, it’s been a remarkable season for the Golden State….

BTW…..I was talking to my boss from France who lived in Houston and is pulling for the Rockets…. he thought that Golden State was based in New Jersey…….. they’re moving to San Francisco soon, I hope they keep Golden State as their name.

Before changing to Golden State, they called were known as the San Fransisco Warriors. Hopefully your boss now knows, Golden State was based on the Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Warriors would not of sounded right, so it got changed to Golden State.

San Francisco Warriors used to play at the Cow Palace near SF, then moved to Oakland in the early 70’s and changed the name to represent California, not only Oakland…..e.g., when they moved to Oakland, they changed the name to Golden State, not Oakland…

Golden State represents the state of California not the Golden Gate bridge… the Golden Gate Bridge doesn’t even touch Oakland. The bridge that you see on their jersey’s is not the Golden Gate bride, it’s the Bay Bridge that connects Oakland to SF.

Listen, I know this is going to be difficult for you guys to hear, but I’m afraid I just have to say this. The Lakers are the only team that matters. Other teams can win a championship once every 50 years, or whatever, but the Lakers have won 1 out of every 3 championships over the past 35 years, and with all the cap space in the world, and the #2 pick overall, they are a couple of years away from reasserting their Lakerdom.

So…enjoy it while you can.

Thanks. I did not know that. I feel stupid for not knowing that either. Then again,I have never been to the west coast.

I think the days of seeing Jack Nicholson and Dyan Cannon courtside at a Laker playoff game is over.

Dr. Bus is dead, Phil Jackson left the dysfunctional Laker family to join a very lousy Knicks team……….. Mitch Kupchak is no Jerry West.

BTW, Jerry West works for the Warriors now, and yesterday showed that he still has an eye for talent…. he gets rid of guys like Monte Ellis and helped assemble a very decent Warriors team and he doesn’t look for has beens like Steve Nash to shore up a roster.

The days of Chamberlain and Kareem finishing their careers as great Laker centers are over, Dwight Howard and Shaq both left Laker dysfunction. Dr. Bus’s kids have gutted the Lakers.
