Don't You Hate It When...

Don't you hate it when...

1. You're lying in bed and you need to take a piss. But you don't want to get up because you're too comfortable so instead you just piss yourself and it's all warm and nice at first but then it starts to feel cold, damp, and uncomfortable hold it in. Yeah, I hate that.

it in. Yeah, I hate that.

2. People add an 's' to the end of a word that's already plural without the 's'. They are the Orlando Magic, not the Orlando MagicS. I can't wait for Dwyane Wade to lead the Miami Heat (Heat with a 't', not a 'ts') and my fantasy basketball team to numerous victories.

3. You are talking on the phone and refer to the other person as "Sir" only to hear a response like "I'm a woman". I guess I don't hate this so much as I find it very awkward. Less awkward for me, but more awkward for him... or her?

Seriously though?

4. You're at the gym and some guy on the bench has 5 sets of dumbbells next to him. So you ask him if he's using the 40-lb ones, and he says yes. How about those 35s? And he says yes. Awesome, I hope you drop that 55-pounder on that douche-bag face of yours, you asshole.

5. You hit that PERFECT drive on that long Par 5! Then you realize that you're playing Tiger Woods 10 on XBOX360.

What can I say? Life is never perfect. You gotta roll with the fact that you will never be as good as virtual Tiger Woods (or the real Tiger Woods for that matter). There are assholes everywhere (Even at the gym! Could you believe that?!?). Not all women sound like women. Some people forget simple grammar. And taking a piss isn't always as easy as it sounds.

At least the rest of the game of life isn't so bad, right? Riiiiiiight.

Warriors Basketball Begins

It's that time of the year again. The best time of the year. And no, I'm not talking about the holidays. Basketball season is just around the corner. And I'm ready to give you my 2 cents on my beloved Golden State Warriors.

The NBA Pre-Season started today and the Dubs opened it up with a solid win over the Clippers, minus their #1 Draft Pick, Blake Griffin. So what does that mean? Absolutely nothing. We all know preseason games amount to about as much as pennies found on the streets. But the preseason does give us fans a look at how players have worked in the offseason and what problems they might need to address before the regular season starts. However, with this Warriors team, it's pretty obvious that such problems exist beyond the court.

The Warriors' front office is the worst in the NBA. As evident by Baron Davis' departure, letting go of Chris Mullin, and ultimately leading to our "star" players also wanting out of the Bay Area. And who could really blame them?

Don Nelson's small ball was fun and exciting when we had a legitimate point guard running the show. But now that that point guard is no longer here, there's no way the Warriors can survive this league under Nellie's run ' n ' gun ' n ' no defense. We need a coach who can discipline our players on both sides of the ball, the way Mike Singletary has done with the San Francisco 49ers (GO NINERS!).

The Warriors have talent, but lack leadership and a solid foundation. Here's a couple things we need:

1. New Ownership - Chris Cohan needs to sell the team. Preferably someone who will get rid of Robert Rowell (Warriors team president who rejected the offer to Baron Davis) and Don Nelson.

2. A group of players who are willing - I love Stephen Jackson and Monta Ellis to death, but if they want to leave, then we should find a way to move them and get some quality players in return. We don't need to waste their time and we certainly don't want that from them.

My predictions for the upcoming season:

1. If the team stands as it is today, the Warriors are going to finish 1st in the West!!! ... I mean 2nd... or 5th... no wait, maybe they'll cling on to that 8th spot. Wouldn't that be nice??? Well, it probably won't happen. But my heart will always be in the position of making the playoffs. They are most likely looking at finishing 10th in the Western Conference, at best. Realistically, they could drop as low as 12th.

2. If Stephen Curry gets playing time, I believe he will get Rookie of the Year. Have you seen this kid shoot the ball? He's lights out, so I wouldn't bet against him.

3. Anthony Randolph will average a double double.

4. Stephen Jackson will receive technical fouls every 4 games until he is traded.

5. Rony Turiaf will continue playing with great enthusiasm for 82 games... even if we lose all 82 games.

So, we may not have a lot to look forward to. But who knows what could happen?!? I still believe it will be a great NBA season. And the Golden State Warriors always offer entertainment.

LET'S GO DUBS!!!
