Best Brand Loyalty...

Who has the best brand loyalty? ... Religion. Think about it. This is something that tends to get past on from generation to generation without someone changing because of preference. Also once people have their desired brand they don't tend to EVER try another one out and the animosity between some is so great that people won't just stay away from it, they choose to hate it enough to want to kill. Coke and Pepsi don't have that kind of backing. One other thing to think about usually if someone stops supporting their brand do they switch to a different brand? Occasionally, but more often than not they give up on all the brands.

Back for a Quick Update!!!

I know I haven't written in a while, but a lot has happened since the big Warrior trade. The trade brought the Warriors new life and with the healthy return of Baron Davis and Jason Richardson, the new look Warriors made a major run to clinch the final playoff spot on the last day of the season. Not only did the Warriors finally break their 13 season playoff drought, but they also won their first round series with the top ranked Dallas Mavericks 4 games to 2. This was only trumped by the fact that the Warriors became the first 8th seed to win a best of 7 series with a #1 seed. The Warriors arte marching their way through the playoffs and they could be giving a lot of teams fits as they try to go even deeper into the playoffs.


Baron Davis was clearly the Warriors MVP throughout the series with Dallas but Stephen Jackson also was fantastic in the Warriors beating of Mark Cuban's boys. On to the second round against the Utah Jazz. GO WARRIORS!!!!

Warriors Trade

According to Warriors.com "The Golden State Warriors have acquired forward Al Harrington, guard/forward Stephen Jackson, guard Sarunas Jasikevicius and forward Josh Powell from the Indiana Pacers in exchange for forwards Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, Ike Diogu and guard Keith McLeod, it was announced today by Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Mullin."

I think this could be a good trade for the Warriors since they some more versatile players that fit into Don Nelson's system, and their contracts aren't as big either which is good for the Warrior's long term plans. I will explain more on this in the future when I have more time.

This blogger is now employed

This is just a quick update to let all of you fans of this blog know that I now have a job at Aeronet Worldwide and that I will be starting there on December 18th. I am not sure how that will affect my limited number of updates here, but we shall see.

The Warriors 2006-2007 Season

Sorry for not updating sooner. I am going to try to update somewhat regularly, but not every game like last year. I am just going to go with short updates to let you know how the team is playing, their record and noticeable things that I would like to point out.

The Warriors have started the season with a 7-3 record. They started the first 5 games going 2-3, but now they are in the process of a 5 game winning streak that is on the line tonight against the Phoenix Suns. Most impressive so far has been the play of Baron Davis, Andris Biedrins and Monta Ellis.

Baron Davis has taken the chance to lead this team and he is doing a phenomenal job 20.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game.

Andris Biedrins has secured the spot as the Warriors starting center since Adonal Foyle has been relegated to not playing and the Mike Dunleavy at PF and Troy Murphy at center experiment didn’t work well. Biedrins is averaging 8.5 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.2 blocks a game.

Monta Ellis in his second season has relished the opportunity to play that he has been given. With Jason Richardson still working his way back from knee surgery in the off-season, Ellis has averaged 17.5 points per game while he has been in the process of learning to play the point guard position instead of his customary spot at shooting guard.

Overall, so far the Warriors have been quite successful, but so far with 7 of those first 10 games being at home, there are still some concerns about their ability to play on the road. With only 1 win out of the 3 road games, the Warriors will need to do much better if they want to break their NBA leading 12 seasons with no playoff appearances.

R.I.P. Steve "the Crocodile Hunter" Irwin

This is going to be a quick post. The other day Steve Irwin, better known as the Crocodile Hunter, past away due to a strike to the chest from a sting ray while filming a documentary. He was a very eccentric person, but entertaining as well. He will be missed and my heart goes out to his wife and two kids in this difficult time they will be facing.

Joy and Sorrow!!!

Today the Warriors did something that made me a very happy fan, but are also in the process of making all that happiness go away. Today the Warriors bought out Mike Montgomery, one of the worst coaches I have had the displeasure of watching run this team. But my hopes were soon dashed as I learned the Warriors were in the process of hiring back Don Nelson. Yes Don Nelson the same guy who is responsible for creating the 12 year hell that has been the Warriors playoff drought. He was the man that dismantled the team by trading Webber and Tim Hardaway on his way out the door. Nelson has a penchant for a running offense, which suits the Warriors well, but he doesn’t care about defense and this team needs to learn to play some. I would have like them to hire Larry Brown, but at least Monty is gone. I can be thankful for that at least.
