The Obligatory Warriors Fan Baron Davis Leaving Post

July 6, 2008 · 6 Comments

What up Cheddar Boxers, sorry about the lack of posts recently.

Of course, coming back into post mode in the point in time that I have chosen, I as a Bay Area, Warriors basketball fan must share some thoughts about the recent move by star point guard Baron Davis to opt out of his last year with the Dubs and head down south to his Los Angeles hometown to play with the Clippers.

Definitely sucks. B Diddy brought a lot of swag back to Bay Area basketball. Peep Matt Steinmetz’ blog post if you haven’t already, to see how the Dubs management totally mishandled the situation(and I also think it’s funny that I would ever say “Peep awkward ass Matt Steinmetz’s dope blog post!”). I totally tried to shrug the shit off like “we’re better off without him” for a little while, and promptly got called out by the LA homie Tad that it was some “I didn’t even like her anyway” type bullshit (I admit it, Tad, but still…fuck you :P ). Management was clearly skeptical about the long term condition of his bum knee, even though he played in every game last season, and Steiny points out how Baron is pretty skeptical of the knee himself, so he really chose to get the most he could through a long term deal and the opportunity to go home. They’ve made the game a business, so I can’t be mad at him for making a good business move, getting paid crazy dough banana bread to move back to LA which is clearly where he wants to be also because of his film making dreams.

Thanks for beasting out in East Oakland for as long as you did, Baron, good luck to you. I will end with the now classic “Andrei Kirlenko getting pooed on” shot.

The Warriors should now proceed to get a big man and unleash Monta.

Peace,

KC

Baron The Beast

One of the saddest things about living in Atlanta now instead of my beloved Oakland is the fact that the Warriors are finally a good, exciting team to watch after over a decade of sucking real real bad. Baron Davis is the man, as he proved again last night in a double double outing that resulted in his 34 points, 14 assists and an overtime win over the defending champion San Antonio Spurs. I love the picture above of him beasting out against Bruce Bowen. Dammit! I might have to spring for NBA League Pass from Comcast, which would mean watching the games at 10:30pm my time and staying up until 1 or 2 in the morning.

Also, props to Andris Biedrins for putting in work against the real “Quiet Storm,” Tim Duncan. Even though Duncan almost matched Baron’s performance with 32 points and 13 assists of his own, Andris “Latvian Sensation” Biedrins made him earn every stat and apparently made some key stops down the stretch.  Go Warriors!

B. Diddy Blackberry Blog Ballin, Ya Dig?

December 12, 2007 · 1 Comment

As the Oakland Warriors continue to do their thing (handling the Tim-Duncan-less-but-still-dangerous San Antonio Spurs last night by a score of 96-84), I have to give some love to that man Baron Davis aka BD aka B-Diddy. Turns out the man is blogging over at YardBarker. Peep the videos below, shit is hilarious. He could come real hood one day in all slang and then read some shit for the book club and come real educated another day, you just never know. Unpredictable, he blogs the same way he plays the game, ya dig? B. Diddy blackberry blog ballin goes hard in the paint, son!
