WE BELIEVE!!!!!

The Golden State Warriors shocked the world and made history by beating one of the best teams in the regular season history (a Dallas team that won 83% percent of their games over a 7 month stretch and at one point won 66 out of 76 games). Not only did they beat them, but they beat them badly, and they did it with style and confidence and playing basketball the way I always thought it should be played: running hard and playing unselfishly and relying on your strengths and not deviating from that. They play a style similar to the Suns but they lack the players with required skill sets and they play a helter/skelter anything goes offense. It's fun to watch and I envied them because I saw how much fun they were having and how much they trusted each other. I wanted to find 4 guys that I used to play with and head out to the gym.

Watching the game, I couldn't help but smile. Because I know what it means for the city of Oakland and what it means to all those other cities where their team is the perennial underdog, loser, or just overlooked and underrespected. It's one thing when a team does it once. That happens all the time. But it NEVER happened in 7 game series. The better team at that time ALWAYS wins. It's hard to say that the Warriors were better but they certainly played their style and forced the Mavs to adapt to them.

The Mavs.... Well... They were not confident, their best player gave up in the 3rd quarter. This was a huge choke job on their part. They made us all believe they had this huge chip on their shoulder from losing in the Finals last year. Well, "Irk" where were you? Next year for Halloween I'm going in a Dirk Nowitski jersey in a big game. You might not see me though, I'll be the invisible man.

Actually, I did come up with an awesome idea for a haloween costume for this year. get a few pieces of cardboard some how create a milk carton and place my head in the middle like one of those cardboard cut outs where you stick ur head in and theres a supermodel's body on the outside. And above the picture it says, "Missing Dirk Nowitski, Last scene at Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA - pregame May 3rd, 2007. Also missing is his manhood."

Ankur is gonna kill me, but I had to shoot him a text during the game when the outcome was no longer in doubt. "We Believe!!!"
