Golden State not so golden in the sun

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
The National Basketball League took to the outdoors in Indian Wells, California and played a game of basketball. It was the Golden State Warriors playing against the Phoenix Suns under the sun. How cool is that?
We can’t do that stuff in Michigan, because it is already down to the low 40’s during the day. We did have the largest crowd ever at an outdoor college hockey game, but that is not the same thing.
Warriors 104 Suns 101
The Warriors are a team that is a complete mess with the latest problem coming from Stephen Jackson, big surprise. 5 fouls and 1 technical and 10 minutes into the game against the Lakers and Stephen Jackson left the bench and went to the locker room and simply never returned.
Jackson agreed to a three-year, $28 million contract extension with the Warriors last November, but now he wants out – and the former combatant in the infamous Pacers-Pistons brawl in the Auburn Hills stands is making it known in various vocal ways.

It is getting so bad that fans are begging the owner to just get it over with and sell the team. The owner, Chris Cohan, is asking so much money that even Larry Ellison, yes that Larry Ellison of Oracle fame, turned him down.
And again, we say, “It ain’t got nothin’ to do with it.” Cohan will sell when his price, already judged exorbitant by Larry Ellison, whose wallet could eat Cohan’s entire house, is met. Or when the Internal Revenue Service decides to bring the noise to his ongoing tax issues.
Are there people who would love to buy the team and move it, maybe to San Jose, maybe to San Francisco? Yes, and there have been – but Cohan isn’t what real-estate people call a motivated seller, even with all the horrific embarrassments he has instigated and allowed instigated in his name. Apparently, the man simply cannot be shamed.

What is next for this team? They have no players. They have an owner that wants to sell. Don Nelson is their coach and Stephen Jackson is their best player. Wow, it is no time to be a Warriors fan.
