Warriors Talking Points; 1/3/11 Warriors @ Magic

1/3/11 Warriors (13-21) @ Magic: where 2nd Half Collapse Happens (again)

It looks like gumbyorpokey isn't doing awesome video recaps anymore so we are left with the Comcast Sports Network junk where they talk over everything:


Talking Points (so you don't have to get home early from work to watch this game):

• The Warriors were up 53-44 at halftime.
• The Warriors lost 18 to 35 in the 3rd Quarter and lost 19 to 31 in the 4th.
• Hubie Brown always says that good teams win the 3rd Quarter.
• This is the second game in a row that the Warriors rapidly gave away a halftime lead.
• David Lee DNP because of a bruised tailbone.
• Lin is back from the D-League.  Lin and Law will get guaranteed contracts for this season but Carney will not.  Carney is rumored to be cut soon.
• Ellis was -24 this game in 38.8 minutes.  Radmanovic was best on the team at -1 in 23 minutes.
• Some have said that the Warriors need to scrimmage at halftime so that they don't have a chance to rest.
• Next game:  1/5/11 at 5:00 PT @ Hornets.  There's a rumor that Larry Ellison is going to buy the Hornets and move them to San Jose.  That would be awesome.

NBA'ers On Barak

Although I question his use of sweatpants on the court, our President is a decent baller. Basketball is obviously his favorite game so CNN got some current and former NBA stars to comment on Mr. Obomber. By the way, you gotta love Bill Russell's laugh. Hilarity:

Cheerleaders We May Have Missed

For some reason, this Magic Cheerleader gives me a major Woodrow Wilson. It must be that "I did something naughty!" smile. Or maybe it's just her boobs:

LA Gear

Twenty years ago, LA Gear hit the ground running. They put tons of dollars into marketing strange looking sneakers with a combination of Air Jordan and Keds influences. Heck, even Magic Johnson was pimping these fu-fu kicks. Speaking of fu-fu:

Well, LA Gear is back with twenty year anniversary kicks that have a striking similarity to the Air Jordan III's (in both price and look).

And if you don't remember what made LA Gear so amazing, it was their commercials that their marketing department no doubtedly claimed as "next level" and "forward thinking".

LA Gears will get you laid!



And this commercial gives LA Gear some serious "street" cred for guys who play basketball at night (drunken Markwith):
