Warriors - Giants - SF Bay Ballin'

Friday night never felt so celebratory in the Bay, as when the Golden State Warriors Beat Boston to the tune of a 43-point Steph Curry collage of shots.  Yes, the NBA Finals series is tied 2-2, and the Warriors return to the Bay with homecourt advantage tucked snugly in their back pocket once again. 

Not wanting to call out the obvious favoritism bestowed on the Celtics throughout this series, I wanna give props to every Warriors player, coach, office personnel and fan for enduring what definitely feels like an "Us Against Them" atmosphere in this NBA Championship series.

It isn't easy being great, but the Warriors and their fans know what it takes to overcome adversity. They have been doing it since first drafting Steph Curry. And now look what Steph has done; he has changed the way the damn game of basketball is played worldwide.

So, for Warriors fans having to listen to biased national game announcers and sports media, know that Boston is a formidable foe the Warriors can and will eliminate in their return to NBA Championship Glory; "I Guarantee It!" 

Meanwhile, bay area fans should make it a point to tune into local sports broadcasting to get that nasty, national bias beat out of their eardrums.

In Major League Baseball, the San Francisco Giants took down the visiting L.A. Dodgers 7-2 Friday night. And after Saturday's 3-2 win, they're threatening a weekend series sweep. Although the Dodgers have led our NL West division all season, they now find themselves slumping. The San Diego Padres are .05 games behind them, and the giants 4.5 games. In case you forgot or been listening to national sports media, the Giants were Division Champions last season, winning 107 games. They haven't looked as dominating this season, but it's only mid-June. 

As for the Oakland A's, since today is Sunday, let us send up a saving grace prayer for them. They are 6-19 in their last 25 games and next to last in the league in winning percentage. It is brutal to watch such a prideful organization losing so badly. Perhaps a new stadium will bring in money and all-star caliber players for the team. 

The organization needs to do whatever it takes to return the A's to the greatness we remember them for. I'm all for it. They may be down at the bottom of the standings right now, but as the saying goes, 'when you hit rock bottom, the only way is up.' Can't wait to see you rise up A's.

Yes, the SF Bay Area is home to sports teams that are loved and appreciated regardless of their win/loss pct.  While other regions tend to trend towards being fair-weather-fans, the Bay rides the up and down waves of a sports season, cheering their teams on, win-lose-or tie. 

Some of the national sports bias we feel is just plain Jealousy. So sit back and enjoy, as our teams go out and prove their championship mettle once again.

Steph*tacular!!!
