Is ANYTHING more boringly predictable than Warriors announcers?

    EVERY game against Portland. Whether in Portland or Oakland. Whoever is winning. Close game or blowout. Two things they are absolutely, positively, without fail, guaranteed to talk about.

    1. Sam Bowie was injured (Oden being injured adds fuel but they mentioned Sam Bowie EVERY game against Portland when Oden was still in grade school).

    2. Paul Allen is really rich. Yes he is. We know that. Everyone fucking knows that. It is not necessary to say it EVERY game against Portland.

    After 20 years can they get some new talking points please?

    Well, at least the NCAA women's championship was interesting, although my heart was broken by Stanford's one point loss.

    What else do you expect them to talk about? The Warriors making the playoffs again? Or actually being a franchise that has at least made the finals in the last 35 years?

    Although they might not have talked smack so to speak, that team (franchise/players/whatever) wishes it only had our bad luck. Because that'd be vast improvement over their good luck.

    Warriors marketing and specifically broadcasting and Bay area sports reporting has been virulently anti-Blazers forever. I don't know if it is due to competition for the southern Oregon market, or if (pre Kings) they were angling for a Warriors - Blazers rivalry angle or what it is.

    They're still bitter because they could have had a team with Tim Hardaway, Chris Webber, Chris Mullin, Mitch Richmond, and Latrell Sprewell.

    Unlike 18% shooting in a "national championship" game, which you take seriously?

    on topic, never heard the warriors announcers, but yeah that could get annoying after 20 years, maybe they could start talking about our devastating knee injuries?

    Those announcers were horrible.

    On a side note, my dad went to the game last night and picked me up a Mike & Mike shirt. :MARIS61:

    It's kinda like when we play Houston, one of the Mikes always has to mention how Chase Budinger played volleyball.

    Never noticed the W's announcers making any kind of rivalry against PDX. Generally a lot of stuff is repeated every game depending on the opponent. Like someone else said with Budinger, when hes in and makes a play its always followed up by the "and a gliding move to the rim by the former volleyball standout!".

    Maybe the rivalry will be more prevalent with the Kings leaving Sac? The only way its a rivalry at all is because we somehow beat on you even though we're terrible every year.
