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!!!!

Yes! An update! I expected what Baron Davis did (except the playing through an injury thing), but what really surprised was Stephen Jackson. Not only was he a huge contribution on offense, but he also shut down Nowitzki. By far, that series was the most exciting I've ever seen. The Warriors style and their fans gave it that college atmosphere, while the fact that they were making history (and it was the NBA) made each game seem bigger than life...
I will never forget that series.
I just want to add that every NBA fan out there seems to have identified the Warrior's playoff run as the most exciting to watch. I think Kerr's blog had over 600 comments on the Warriors.
And yes, the Warrior crowd support is absolutely ear deafening (and voice killing because I'm sounding hoarsed right now still).
