Why the Warriors?
-Western Conference > Eastern Conference. I will see better basketball on a night to night basis. If I need to see the Heat or the Celtics or the upcoming trainwreck that will be the Knicks I can turn on ESPN or TNT just about every night.
-Late start times. I am a night owl and usually go to bed around 3 or 4am. After torturing my GF with 170 Reds games over 6 months, most of which were played from 6-9 pm central, I simply can not highjack all of my time with another team. Especially since she knows i'm unavailable to her on Sundays. The Warriors will play most nights while she is in bed.
-Fun roster. I like these guys. Curry, Bogut, Thompson, Jefferson, FESTUS, scrappy relatable white guy David Lee, Barnes, etc.
-Not a public team. If I wanted to watch Heat vs. Celtics, or Lakers vs anybody every night, I could do that via ESPN & TNT. I see enough of these teams and they bore me. If I am going to sink my teeth into the NBA, I can't really do that without watching Warriors vs Kings at midnight in the middle of January. ABC thinks there are like 8 teams in the NBA. If i'm going all in on the NBA, I can't go casual. Give me the meat & potatoes.
-This team can go either way. They might be good, they might be bad. They won't be great, but they won't be terrible. There will be good times, and bad times. This is an up and coming team growing up together. This is a team worth investing some time in. I could be getting in on the ground floor of something special.
-godspeed. Originally this was a deterrent. I wanted a team that could be all my own. But I changed my mind. Talking about the Reds here wouldn't be the same without my running mate Rudi, so I figured instead of being the geek in the basketball box talking about games only I was watching, I would pick a team where I could bullshit about the games with somebody else who gives a shit.
So here it is. My NBA thread, through the eyes of the Warriors. I used to be a die hard NBA fan, to the extent I had partial season tickets to the Nets, watched the Suns religiously, have followed the NBA casually for the last decade or so, and I am a die hard college hoops fan, so I know the game and it shouldn't take me long to catch up with the league.
