Wow! what a game!
Not only did the warriors make playoffs after 13 years but they win their first game!
on road!!
against a #1 seed!!!

Ever since i came to US in 1991, Basketball has been my favorite game to watch (and try to play). It’s easy to understand (unlike football or baseball), it’s fast paced, it’s exciting and Bulls - closest local team my univ - were winning. I loved the bulls and followed them. I came to bay area in Nov 1994. I was excited to find that big 10 player webber was on golden state, golden state made the playoffs the year before. I felt at home Another team making the playoff run. 2 days after i came to bayarea, golden state traded billy owens for rony siekaly starting off an era of failure and futility interlaced with the bizarre. Players known for choking coaches, management known for passing on kobe bryant for todd fuller etc.

My desire to support a local team (and support any team since the bulls 2nd era ended) made me support sacramento for few years.

But it’s great to finally see a good golden state team together, playing well. This playoff win is sweet. It’s not the championship, but it’s sweet. It doesn’t wash away the pain of all the 13 years, but it’s a good start.

I love basketball and i am enjoying being a fan of this golden state team! There, i can say it.

My recommendation - Go hug a warriors fan today It’s going to be a happy, joyous hug. Join the crowd at GSOM.
