Dear God (or Buddha in my case),
I've never been a religious person. I don't go to church very often, and even when I do go, it isn't for religious reasons. (Yo church guys, if you're reading this, let's hit up some pho or Emeralds) I don't pray, and I never ask you for anything. However, I need to ask for this one thing.
Please let the Golden State Warriors make the playoffs. Warriors fans have suffered enough over the past 12+ years. We've endured many sub .500 seasons and have seen a lot of players become All-Stars once they were freed from this hell hole now known as Oracle Arena. You teased us with the Baron theft from the Hornets, but that has only made us suffer more through the disappointments and his injuries. We've done our time for any wrong we might have done by watching this team night in, night out. I ask you, please don't let us waste the time it took to watch 82 games...all I ask for is 86!
I understand one has to give to receive, so I propose you this.
If the Warriors make the Playoffs I will:
- burn my Latrell Sprewell jersey
- shave my head
- not make fun of tiny little Asian guys
- not cuss at Pietrus for doing something stupid even if it really was J-Rich. I really can't tell the difference between the two on Slingbox. (Slingbox makes my TV at home look like it's in HD)
- not drop F-bombs in my everyday language...well try at least
Please consider this proposition. Let the rest of the teams the Warriors are competing against fall flat on their faces like they have been, especially the Kings.
Sincerely,
Scott
P.S. If for some reason you feel that I do not deserve to see the Warriors in the playoffs, I'd settle for Oden or Durant in the draft. =D
*let me know if you have any suggestions about what I should do if the Warriors make the playoffs, within reason of course.
