Blog #2: Chef'n Curry

Chef'n Curry being his new nickname because of the things he is capable of doing. I thought this post would be perfect timing because Stephen Curry is officially on the USA team representing the Golden State Warriors. Although he doesn't play in every single game, at least he is having a chance to show what he has. This was a big opportunity for him, and I'm glad that he went through the hard work to earn his well deserved spot on the team. 

In other news, hopefully I will be on my way to the Oracle Arena to experience the energy that I have been craving since the last Warrior's game. Opening night it probably one of the best games to go to since everyone has been waiting patiently for about 3-4 months. The game is usually a sold out game, and tickets start to disappear pretty fast, but I have been planning our October 27 very carefully. My friend and I are planning to sit in section 124 in row 1, but the problem is buying out ticket. Those seats range from $70-$95 depending on what row we choose to get. In my opinion, those are great seats because they are right next to the tunnel that the players come out of. I have never been to an opening night game, but from my t.v. screen, it looks very similar to a playoff game like in the picture shown above. As you can see, all seats are taken. I am looking forward to this day, and if you ever get the chance, I think that opening night is a must-go-to-game!

Blog #1: I'm just an ordinary girl..

But I am capable of a lot of things such as sharing my thoughts on basketball. Just because I am a girl, doesn't mean I don't understand the concept of basketball, or how it feels to be playing basketball. I have been playing basketball since I was in the 2nd grade, so I think I can explain a game to someone pretty well. Just watching basketball gets my adrenaline going - especially if the team playing is the Warriors. I have a small obsession with them, I confess. Although they are categorized as a "sucky" team, I beg to differ that they do have potential. During the end of the season, teams were ranked on how well the point guard and shooting guard worked together, otherwise known as the back court. A no brainer for the best back court in the NBA was Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol of the Los Angeles Lakers. Not to far behind was Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry, of the Golden State Warriors. This made me realize how well the Warriors play together. They might not be the best team, but they have players with potential. Another thing that made me realize their potential was during the All Star weekend. Unfortunately, Monta Ellis did not make the roster for the All Star game, which had me very disappointed. To me, he is one of the best shooting guards in the league, and yet, his talent went unnoticed. I felt that they did not want to have him be apart of the roster because of his team image with the Warriors. I wish that they noticed Monta for who he is, rather than what team he is apart of. Don't get me wrong, I love the Warriors, but it is tough being a fan. Hopefully this upcoming season, his talent will be recognized, and I am crossing my fingers that he has another chance to make the All Star team.

If this blog interests you, I suggest that you check out a great blog that is about basketball in general, but mostly about Warriors and news that relates to the Warriors. It has a majority of blogger's that help update the site every hour or so, depending on what is happening that has to do with the Warriors! I stay updated with this blog because it usually has great information, and most of it is accurate. Although they are just thoughts of fans, I find that blog very useful! If I have won you over and got you interested in my topic, I strongly recommend you to check this out!

What my blog is going to be about?

I have always been interested in watching sports since I was a young girl because I grew up with two older brothers. My mom and dad were at work a lot, so I would be home with my grandparents stuck on the couch watching whatever my brothers felt like watching. One sport that stands out is basketball. I have always had a liking for this sport because the competition gets so intense during the final seconds. I have many favorite basketball teams, but my number one favorite would have to be the Golden State Warriors. I'm probably not an expert when it comes to the history of all players, but I think I know enough to be categorized as a fan. This blog is going to be strictly about the GSW and what I think and feel about them. If you didn't know what my name was before reading this blog, you would probably think I am a boy since most girls don't take this much interest in sports. A boy could probably tell you more than what I have to say, but I think with this blog, I'm going to be "one of the boys".
