Kings @ Warriors - Sunday, Dec. 15 - 5:30PT/8:30ET

Random thought but I wonder why the Warriors are named “Golden State” and not just San Francisco? It’s not like they’re the only team in California and are repping California...

As for Golden State I've no idea. In regards to changing to San Francisco, I think they didn't do it because they didn't want to alienate their east bay fanbase.

So far I have seen WCS cheat on setting a screen, actively avoid a rebound, stand in the paint and that's about it...

I've also seen him steal the ball, setup two teammates for a layup, grab a rebound, and dunk the ball.

Alienating the east bay is the peninsula’ s favorite past time.

They were originally the San Francisco Warriors when they moved out here from Philly in 1962. They originally played in S.F. but later started playing more - and then all - of their home games at the Coliseum in Oakland. In 1971 they dropped "San Francisco" for "Golden State", presumably because they were technically in Oakland.

At this point the brand is probably established enough that the don't want to change back. But you never know...

 

[Sluggah]

That’s the WCS i remember

 

[Kings_of_California]

Willie just bricked nearly uncontested layup.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Grant: "Surprising that Willie did not dunk that ball"

Everybody: "What have you been watching?"

 

[Kings_of_California]

Marvin's defense is so bad Willie blew by him, he didn't switch on the corner jumper and just made a silly foul.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I honestly can’t even remember if Burks scored more than 10 points for us during his 1/3 season here.

 

[Sluggah]

I have to deal with GSW’s announcers. One of my least favorite duos in the league.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Yeah, leave Buddy wide open for a 12-foot jumper. That'll work.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Where was Bogdan going?

 

[dude12]

The offense is just better when Cojo is out and Bagley is in. Bags opens it up for others.

They played in Oakland in Oracle Arena. The name SF Warriors, which was what they were known as when they first came west, didn't sit well with some fans so they made a compromise deal. There was actually talk at one time of naming them the "Bay Area Warriors"...

EDIT: Oops. I see Capt. beat me to it.

Agreed. Bagley is doing work in the post and grabbing boards.

 

[VF21]

I've also seen him steal the ball, setup two teammates for a layup, grab a rebound, and dunk the ball.

I guess we see what we look for.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Good god the Warriors are so, so bad.

 

[jcwkings]

Bagley's best stint of the season so far.

Once Draymond exits, they completely fall apart it seems.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Bagley's best stint of the season so far.

True, but he's only had about 8 stints.

 

[dude12]

Agreed. Bagley is doing work in the post and grabbing boards.

Teams hedge against him.....just opens up the whole floor for the other players.

Just wait until his jumper starts falling.

 

[VF21]

Now this is more like what I've been looking forward to. MB3 looking very comfortable out there.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Ariza to Bagley!

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Bagleyyyy

 

[Kings_of_California]

Wow Bagley!!! +1 through 3 defenders!

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

Nice athletic layup by Marvin

 

[Larry89]

[Kings_of_California]

Marvin's D really needs work...damn

 

[Larry89]
