NBA Summer League 2008: Pistons vs. Clippers
As promised, here’s your game thread. With Clippers draft pick Eric Gordon sitting out with a strained left hamstring, the competition should be a little lighter than expected. Instead, the defensive focus should be on Walter Sharpe, who will face a trial by fire tonight– he’ll…

OPEN THREAD: Vegas Game 1 - Warriors vs 76ers
UPDATE: Watch the game via the web MVP baby! Just a few days ago it was Warriors vs 76ers in the pursuit of Elton Brand. Now it's just a plain 'ol Summer League game in Sin City. This is time for Marco to shine again. He used the NBA regular season as his preparation for this year's…

Keeping it Golden... State of design!
It's been one rough week for the Warriors faithful. Boom going Hollywood happened so fast and I'm still in disbelief. I can only wish the best for Davis and look towards our future with the Dubz whether it be for better or worse. Jokingly, a friend asked me what I was going to do now that BD's…

The Offseason Just Got Interesting
Baron opts out, signs on with McDonalds?! After the draft where we picked up another big man project and let the trade exception expire, wake up Warrior fans, Baron Davis has opted out of his contract. What looked like a relatively boring offseason - the draft and resigning Monta and…

Baron Davis (shockingly) Opts Out

Hip-Hop with a touch of "W"
We're back at it one more time on the Photoshop tip and right where I left off with last week's Native Dubz post. It's summer time and I'm seriously on chill mode- that also goes for some of my projects. Since I don't have to work on high res prints for game signs, I'm taking a time out and…

Q/A: Tim Kawakami - NBA Draft 2K8
We're a day away from the most exciting day of the summer. The NBA DRAFT! The MLB all-star game, bbqs in the park, summer flings and 4th of July got nothing on this! To talk about this exceptional day and its impact on our Golden State Warriors this year, we asked Tim…

The Native Dubz have been reinstated!
I can never get enough of The Native Tongues era of conscious Hip-Hop throughout the late 80's and early 90's. I was also a big fan of the artwork rocked on their album covers long before photoshop was even around... Big ups to crews like A tribe called Quest and DeLa Soul for inspiring these…

OPEN THREAD: 2008 NBA Finals Game 5
It's an elimination game that came far earlier than many of us hoped and predicted. Will the wild ride that was the 2008-2009 NBA season end tonight? (Photo by Joe Murphy/NBAE via Getty Images) We shall see... I'll be completely up front. I can't stand either the LA Lakers or the Boston…

BlogABull 5th Anniversary Retro-Post: "The 2004 Draft"
It's true (and a bit strange, to be honest): BlogABull (including its previous independent blogspot incarnation) is celebrating its 5th anniversary. Rather than merely the usual single self-serving post, this year I've instead decided to extend my self-congratulations through the summer. I'll be…

OPEN THREAD: Vegas Game 2 - Warriors vs Mavs
Game Time: 3pm The rookie, Anthony Randolph, showed his stuff in the game against the 76ers, scoring 30 points, pulling 8 boards along with 2 steals and 2 blocks. Quite a debut. That was Marco-esque. And as Pree noted, they didn't even run a play for him in the first half. Now, I know I'm not…

James Posey for the Lakers? One thinks not
James Posey is certainly the kind of gutty, defensive-minded veteran the Lakers could use, but it’s highly unlikely they will really go get him. Overpaying for three or four years for a guy who can’t legitimately play any other position but small forward, where the Lakers are…

Exit interview: Kobe Bryant
Hello, Kobe. With your enormous schedule I didn’t mind driving down to Newport for our meeting. I know that you are pressed for time and I have things on my plate, too. Between preparing for the Olympics and trying to squeeze in some family time, I don’t know how you do it. But…
