Oh no way in heck are they are allowed! It's all about us diehard warrior fans that stayed with them through thick and thin. Even the ones like me that still followed them but complained a hella lot about them non-stop because of no defense small ball.

But man, ever since we ditched DunMurphy or Murphleavey we finally are able to play small ball type of defense versus no-defense-whatsoever!

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!! It's like Christmas and I'm like, 12 years old and I got a freakin' Nintendo! F---- yeah~!!!

All this time we've spent on these boards every year talking about "next year will be the year," since this entire site opened and it finally came true this offseason (errr more accurately came true after all-star break and Bdiddy coming back from the Inactive List)! Yes! I am so happy I bet I won't sleep! First it was no sleep over worry about this game and now it's no sleep due to excitement!</div>

I don't think I've seen you this happy since... forever? haha

Oh man today is the best day

 

This is all a dream, oh wait no it's not! 13 damn years. They haven't made the playoffs since I was 2 years old.

 

My buddy, the Spurs fan, says he is getting a Warriors jersey and rooting them on against the Mavs...

Today will be up there along with my best Christmas ever, the birth of my first child, and the day we achieve world peace.

Man... The cycle of misery is finally over! Thank Goodness! I guess the joke got old up in basketball god Mt. Olympus. They finally miracled our asses into the playoffs. Man... I will take getting our butts handed to us as an 8th seed (a la the playoff Memphis Grizzlies) if it just means to sniff the fine cuisine that is the playoffs... and actually get a small bite too.

Ah I wonder if Dunleavy or Murphy will cheer their old teammates on.

FINALLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY!1!!!1!1!</div>

I almost forgot that. Yup, here's to JRich. JRich ranks up there as one of the greatest Warriors. He just needs an all-star and ring to go with it .

Bring on Dallas. We can beat them. We got a chance. Really, we got a chance.

Yeah, indeed the return of Baron Davis and Jason Richardson (don't forget Jason's return), and some time to adjust to the return of Jason Richardson in particular has been very important. Baron Davis has found a great niche for himself on this roster now. It's awesome. Now it's time to shock the world like in 1975 . The first round is going to be a good series. I am excited to see how it goes. The Mavericks have been a very good team this year, and they have some great attitudes on that team and sportsmen, starting from the top with Avery Johnson (well Cuban is a good owner as well, but he's a different types of sportsman maybe, haha). This will be fun. I love the matchups.

What an awesome April, like HiReZ pointed out since the Warriors have had the toughest stretch of games since March 9th. Only one loss so far in April. That's awesome.

Jrich is the man!!!! This playoff run should be dedicated all to him. He's was the one guy that stayed here through thick and thin, didn't complain even though he was easily the most talented player on the team. He didn't ask for too much money and he didn't mind taking a backseat to Baron Davis. He also put up money to apologize to fans about not making the playoffs.... how man players even do that???

Jrich is the man! Whoever talked about trading him for AK47 is Warriors Nation treason! Alley oop! J/k

 

How HUGE are the Kings? They beat the Clippers on the road (this is what gave us the PO's really) and lose to the Lakers so that we keep 8th seed.

Thank you Sacramento...

 

We did it. 16-5 against the toughest schedule in the league from March-April. Oh man. They're on a roll. Heading in full steam! These other playoff teams better be wary of GS, baby.

WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha, that is me too... But I am really impressed with how it all jelled together. I think even Don Nelson has to be surprised somewhat, himself. I mean he even said the playoffs were out of the picture at one point. haha.

 

Beat the Mavs! Beat The Mavs! Beat the Mavs!

 

Yes, thank you Sacramento. Thank you New Orleans also...

 

This is for all the people who said Baron Davis couldn't lead this team to the POs ..... BOOM DIZZLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I can't believe they made it. I'm already pumped for their first playoff game.

Speaking of treason, I gotta eat my words about Baron. I thought he wasn't going to last the season when he came back. Was ready to tank, but when he came back and the team won the next two games, it all changed. I started believing in this team. I don't know how they did it exactly, but they just jelled and started playing like the Warriors never played before.

Oh, and I thought making the playoffs was easy considering 16 teams make it, but it's not as easy as it looks. I was so nervous about this game.

Yup, I deserve it. BOOM DIZZLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

No -- JRich is the heart and soul of this team. I am happier for him than for anyone else -- THANK YOU JRICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Even if we lost tonight, the Hornets would have done us a favor, maybe? Or... maybe they found out we already clinched and then they gave up... I think they gave up.... I mean 83 to 86, might as well sit down the injured Elton Brand and save up Maggette.

I guess all that matters is that we're in... It's like the feeling that a kid gets at Disneyland when they're waiting in line for Space Mountain for like... two freakin' hours... and we finally get strapped into the ride. No more excuses like "We're sorry the ride just broke down, feel free to wait even longer while we analyze/fix it". That happened to me when we're about to get in... but the Warriors making the playoffs makes up for that childhood experience!

 

Count me in. At 29-36 I pretty much resigned too. I knew it was mathematically it was possible, but for us to make it we had to be close to .500. Oh well, this team pulled together and everything fell in place. No more negativity, it is all about being positive now. I still will take a player like Gasol or AK47. We need a big man...

 

I can't stop thinking about how most NBA analysts (Steve Kerr included) wrote/spoke that Indiana got the best of that trade...

Well all i can say is wow, what a run. And I can't whait to see W's next season lol i think then they might be even better...
