About The Golden State Warriors
Along with their first championship win in their inaugural year, the Golden State Warrior ticket holders have been blessed with two more in the team's history, the last one being in 1975. While the team may not be the winning-est in the NBA, they certainly know how to put on a good show for their fans. Their championship win in 1975 has been noted as one of the biggest upsets in NBA history. The Golden State Warriors defeated the Washington Bullets in a 4 game sweep with the Washington Bullets having been the favorite to win. Even the Golden State Warrior ticket holding fans didn't expect to see their home team succeed in the playoffs the way they did. Thus, the arena they played in was earlier scheduled for other events during the playoffs and the team had to play their games at the Cow Palace in Daly City, CA instead of at their home court.
The next decade would prove a struggle for the team. Loss of essential players like Rick Barry and Jamaal Wilkes to bad trades and retirements, the Golden State Warriors tickets were once again gathering dust. Even with the draft acquisition of Purvis Short, Eric Floyd and Joe Barry Carroll, the team just couldn't pull it together. Later most of these team mates would be traded off in a futile search of a winning team. Luckily in 1986, the Golden State Warriors ticket holders had a diamond in the rough in Chris Mullen who would go on to help change the franchise and bring the team out of its losing slump.
In 1987, the team finally began to see a glimmer of hope when they won the Western Conference Semifinal match against the impervious Los Angeles Lakers. This game in fact is still shown as one of the greatest NBA games to ever be played. Floyd ended the game with a total of 51 points and led the Golden State Warriors to victory. Golden State Warrior ticket holders had hope, yet again.
Since the year 2000, the Golden State Warriors have been rebuilding. They haven't been able to get a foothold in their division, and with team members coming and going it has been difficult for this team to find the groove it needs to bring home the prize. In the 2005-2006 season, the team finally ended its playoff drought. They managed a winning percentage coming into the year, but found that by march, they had only won 13 games since the beginning of the year. Dissention on the bench between star player Baron Davis and coach Mike Montgomery made matters worse for the team. Nobody wanted to buy Golden State Warrior tickets and the team suffered.
In May of 2009, the Golden State Warriors, much to the satisfaction of their ticket holders, decided to not renew the GM contract of Chris Mullen. Taking over the open General Manager position now is Larry Riley who turned and drafted Stephen Curry with the teams 7th lottery pick. Jamal Crawford and Marco Belinelli were both traded and the team acquired Acie Law, Speedy Claxton and Devean George. Perhaps this will be the much needed boost that this team needs to get back to winning and making the Golden State Warrior tickets worth their weight in gold.
