Default Warriors are....errr....warriors.

I love watching the Warriors play.

I have to admit that I tend to favor teams over locations. While I want Dallas to win generally, I will root for the team that plays exciting basketball. Hence my two favorite teams right now are the Suns and Warriors.

It's almost shocking to see Dirk completely hapless on the court.

If Dirk gets the MVP and the Mavs lose to the Warriors, will there ever be a more ironic MVP?

We are seeing the specialized teams fade, like Dallas and Miami. That is, a team full of role players that do one or two things very well. Like Diop plays D and rebounds well. Dirk hits jumpers well. Jason Terry hits jumper. Devin Harris drives to the bucket.

The Bulls are very much like the suns and warriors as well.

But then you have teams that have 4 guys on the court who can do all of the above. The specialist vs. the everyman.

The Bulls are very much like the W

Its funny how the playoffs will make or break your career.

Two players that will be due for big contracts when their current ones expire are Luol Deng and Baron Davis. Those two have been outstanding and i agree it is fun to watch the Warriors play, of course fundamentals will always win out, so if Dallas is knocked out expect San Antonio to win it all again.

I actually watched the game last night and was very entertained. The Warriors are indeed fun to watch.

Aren't you an NBA hater? I must admit that the Warriors are absolutely irresistible to watch. They are a much better team since they ripped off the Pacers for Harrington and Jackson.

Next thing you'll be telling us how much you have enjoyed watching Coach K and the Dookies.

You must have a very definition television, his teeth looked plenty white to me. He could use a beard trimmer though.

Yes, I'm not a fan at all of NBA basketball. I will watch it on occasion if there is nothing better on at the time.

I will never enjoy Duke. I'll like a movie like Somewhere in Time before I enjoying time watching Duke and Coach Krzxyxryzxyrzxy.
