All eyez on the Warriors

The Golden State warriors have to live up to big expectations, after coming off a year as they did. In the last 11 years, last year was the first playoff appearance for the Warriors. Being an eighth seat in the Western Conference, during the first round they beat the Dallas Mavericks 3-1 defeating the number one seat in the league. In the next round we were unfortunately defeated by the Utah Jazz, but yet the memories of last season has lead the Warriors to be playoff caliber this year.
Unfortunately, the Warriors have started off really slow. With the first five games, we are 0-5. Thus, it has been pretty disappointing for most of the Warrior nation. However, regardless of staring 0-5 the bright news for the Warriors is that they were playing their first five games without one of their stars, Steven Jackson. With this arsenal on offense, the Warriors promise to make another playoff run. So, when Stephen Jackson or " jack" returned to the line, that is the first game the Warriors received a W in the win column. Further, on this 5 game road trip the Warriors have gone 3-1. Finishing off their road trip in Philadelphia, if the Warriors are capable to win again, this will once again put them in the playoff hunt. The fans of Golden State have been waiting a long time to see the Warriors in the championship. If the Warriors are able to do it this year, this will only strengthen the bond between the Warriors and the Warriors nation. In a year that both the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders have failed and had miserable years, we can only hope that the Warriors could bring the Bay Area back into the the picture.
