Nate Robinson rushes to greet Monta Ellis after Ellis' game-winner.
The Golden State Warriors had lost 28 of the last 31 match-ups against the Suns in Phoenix. So when I saw they were playing Steve Nash and company yesterday in Phoenix, I simply scheduled other activities of entertainment.Well, for those who saw the Warriors out-basket the Suns 106-104, I say you deserve medals of courage and loyalty. Not only did the Warriors do their usual second half collapse, allowing a trailing opponent to get back into the game, but they also gave up what could've been a buzzer beating shot with less than a second left in the game that luckily clanged off the rim.
Simply put, it's torture to watch a Warriors game. The agony of defeat seems to always appear on the faces of Warriors fans after close games. But not yesterday, Feb. 21st, two-thousand and twelve in the year of our Lord . Oh no, the Golden State Warriors fans were beaming with the thrill of victory as their team held on to somehow, someway win a road game against a team who's had their number since Coolio's "Gangsta Paradise" was riding the top 100 music chart in 1995.
Going into the all-star break the Warriors are a questionable 13-17. They'll need better performances than yesterday's game to prove to a fan like me that they've learned how to finish. But for now, consider the 2011-12 Golden State Warriors ..........Coolio!
