The Warriors: Just Livin' the Dream

The Warriors: Just Livin' the Dream

Warrior Nation, can it get any better? Seriously. After Golden State's tenacious, gutty, and spirited come-from-behind 103-99 victory over the Dallas Mavericks Sunday night in the O-rena, the Warriors have taken a 3-1 lead in their best-of-seven series. After 13 years of waiting, nobody in the NBA is more jacked up than the Warriors and their long-suffering fans.

The season has gone from just another shit sandwich to a gravy train with biscuit wheels in little more than a month. From nine games below .500 to .500. Not just a .500 record, but playoffs. Not just playoffs, but most favorable matchup. Not just favorable matchup, but a game one victory to take home court advantage in the series and set the basketball world abuzz.

SFist Blotter

jerichomile.jpgTwo guys were arrested in Oakland over the weekend for firing paintballs at eight random passersby and one dog. A cop said, "I know a lot of people use it more like a toy, but without the proper gear or equipment it can actually cause injury or death." There's a very detailed shot-by-shot account of the incident in the Oakland Trib -- this would be even better if it were illustrated with a Family Circus Jeffy-walks-around-the-neighborhood dotted-line style picture. Authorities think a body that they found in the bay in Oakland is a man who jumped into the water with a knife and repeatedly refused assistance from the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard says they tossed him a life ring numerous times but he swam away from it each time. This reminds us of that homily about the man who's sitting on a roof of a flooding house and refuses to get on two rescue boats and a helicopter, saying God will provide. There's been a fourth armed robbery in Palo Alto, this time of a Stanford grad student walking to his on-campus housing. The police department has provided a sketch of the suspects and suggests walking in groups at night. more ›

(Earthquake preparation.) Cover article: Harmon Leon gets on the reality show Lie Detector! Genius! PUNI: clip and save religious texts to flush down toilets! What probably was going to be the cover article except they were probably trying to avoid looking Guardian-esque: Saddam Hussein was not a very nice guy. Funny anecdote about having to change the name of the trapeze artists/indie rock show from "Music to Plummet to your Death By" to "Music Not to Plummet to your Death By." (Trapeze artists, a serious lot.) Meredith Brody gets souffles and fondue. Books. And Negativland! The San Jose Metro makes a last gasp appearance, and the Guardian, after the jump! more ›
