I just mowed the lawn in my Warriors shirt wearing a university of Michigan hat. I live in Columbus, Ohio.

How much do you think my neighbors hate me right now?

was able to pick up Warriors W W W W at 11/1 and W W W C W & W W C W W at 14/1, haven’t felt so good at playing those kinds of odds in awhile and all winnings to be plowed back into the Warriors with next season ticket purchases, GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!

Old man and the three is so good.

So many other previews I listened to ir watched were so bad. It’s like no one on fs1 or espn could be bother to look to see if the dubs have a defense.

That Viray article makes me think I should resume browsing GSOM from time to time. But then I remember, no...

So… I have to watch the next two games on my phone. I am on vacation in my home town Berlin but unfortunately at my mother’s there us no wlan. Checking the schedule beforehand, I decided to get a so called Speed Box, to have wlan to take with me. All so easy, no problem, kids game - said the vendor at the Telekom shop. But after two further trips to the shop and four calls to the not so hot hotline, I am still without wlan. 😤 I update my data volume on my phone to unlimited for 24 hours and really hope at least this will work. Warriors will have to play really big so I can see them clearly on the small screen. Please…

We planned a trip to Yellowstone and Glacier that starts in a couple of days, so life is going to get different for me pretty soon. Being lucky enough to be able to take a trip like this, I'm going to disconnect from TV, Wifi, Internet, DNHQ, Sabrina's Twitter links, everything, and hang out with bears, (not T-)wolves, waterfalls, and mountains.

Life is weird sometimes. I think I've seen all but a couple of the Warriors games this year, including preseason and Summer League, and am totally smitten by this particular group of Ws. But I'll only be able to watch game 1 of the Finals tonight. I don't know if I'll even do that; I might save watching all four games of the Finals for when I get back to civilization.

Here in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, I'm hoping for Poole parties every night, lots of Curry flurries, lotsa rebounds by Looney Looney, multiple major Klaygasms, the usual stellar D from Dray, return to form by GP II, Andre, and Ottomatic, and maybe even some contributions from the puppies, Bjelica, and JTA.

Enjoy the games, everyone.

> It’s about the journey, it’s about the fam.

From Game 6 of the 2019 Finals until now, we've had highs and lows.

Well, #DubNation , we're backkkkk.

Waaaaaarioooors!

I am very confident about this series but will be bursting with nervous energy all day until tip-off. Trying just to relish being back in the finals after two years of slander, doubt, and premature eulogies for this team. In my view the only thing that can derail the Warriors over these last however many games is health. If they can keep their guys on the floor, they are winning their 4th title with this core.

Before the mayhem of the Finals starts, I want to express some gratitude to this community, starting with the writing staff. Daniel, Duby, and Apricot are the DNHQ versions of Steph, Dray, and Klay. Ivan is Iguodala, and other important contributors such as Patrick Murray and Dr. Tom are the Barbossas and Livingstons of the crew. You have all been crucial in establishing this community as a great place to talk about basketball, nurturing it from the uncertain roots of the SBN exodus into the burgeoning metropolis of Warriors dialogue that it is today. Everyone adds their own particular flavor and everyone has their own strengths and skills, but you all complement each other in a beautiful and harmonious fashion akin to that of the team that we all follow. Thanks for setting the right tone to enable this place to become a special haven of Warriors fandom and for delicately maintaining just the right amount of control over the community standards and expectations in order to provide a pleasant and friendly environment.

I'd also like to thank the members of the posting community. Some of you are old heads who spent years over at the old GSOM, some of you joined during the LGW days, and some have filtered in over the last year + or so, with everyone offering their own unique perspectives and takes. There are a lot of Warrior fan communities out there online but this place has been made truly special in large part due to the strength of the community. Whether it's folks sharing their thoughts on the strategic vision of the team, people wanting to dish about salary cap rules, social media sleuths that dig up and share tasty morsels of team-related content, game film breakdown junkies, or analytical gurus who provide statistical context to the accomplishments of our favorite team, there is always a lively and interesting discussion happening here that is worth reading. With so many different types of fans comes a plethora of different opinions and fan styles, yet there is always a collegial atmosphere during even the most heated of arguments and an underpinning of respect for each other that is palpable. There is no other community I would bother to share my Warriors and basketball thoughts with except for this one, and I hope to continue having and reading discussions here for a long time. Thank you all for contributing to the gold standard that is DNHQ.

Edit: Gave Patrick his correct last name, as he only works for Forbes. Sorry Patrick.

As discussed here already, Rob Williams is huge for the Celts. If he is not 100% I can see us being a real problem on the boards. And by ‘us’ I mean LOOOONNN

A funny thought… will they build another mirrored ball on Chase’s yard? If so, they will have to change the angles and go all hexagonal.

Cut my business meeting short so that I can catch the early flight home in time for tip off.

Yes, I’m addicted to the Dubs. No, I’m not embarrassed in the slightest.
