This is really an 8-foot basket

Check out Yay Basketball's preview of the Golden State Warriors in The 05-06 Warriors are #9. Here's a snippet:

Angry and out of sorts after the Hornets moved him against his will, Davis brought nothing but distress to a team that traditionally is one of the most stable franchises in the NBA. He'll team up once again with bland shooting guard Jason Richardson and likely continue to guide this once-proud franchise slightly awry. Mike Dunleavy, Jr. looks like a serial killer.

My favorite lines have to be:

Although much has changed in Golden State and many are predicting different results, we say that tradition wins out. Nothing new here - the Warriors are headed to the playoffs.

Just to add to the Yay basketball perspective- fans talk about the Warriors backcourt being one of the best in the league. I have to disagree. I think their frontline is the most intimidating in the Western conference, if not the whole NBA. If it weren't for their collection of talented bigs there would not be any hope for this season to end the decade plus playoff drought.
