After Sunday night's victory over the Mavericks, I'm solidly on the Golden State Warrior bandwagon for the remainder of their playoff run. I used to follow NBA basketball all the time during the early 90s, but it fell off my radar after the Bay Area got an NHL hockey team, and Jordan's first retirement turned NBA basketball boring. And the local team started sucking big time. This is the Warriors first playoff appearance since 1994, and they haven't even been close to respectable for most of these years. But this year's team are classic underdog favorites. They probably won't get past Dallas (they lost tonight), but they've brought back some of their RunTMC era excitement. It all went downhill for the Warriors after they traded Mitch Richmond for Billy Owens in 1992.And check out the length of tonight's A's - Mariners game 1:47 I'm a big fan of short baseball games, I think sub two-hour games are like no-hitters. Jerod Washburn and Joe Blanton kept getting guys out, but the M's got a couple of solo home runs and beat the A's 2-0. The baseball game ended before the basketball game that started one hour earlier. One hour and forty seven minutes is the quickest game I've ever seen, in person or on television.
