Golden State Warriors Tickets: Golden State Warriors Beat Milwaukee Bucks

December 29, 2011 By 3 Comments

The are an American professional basketball team based in Oakland, California. They are part of the Pacific Division of the in the (NBA). The team was first established in 1946, as the Philadelphia Warriors, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the franchise won the championship in the inaugural season of the Basketball Association of America (BAA), the league that would eventually become the National Basketball Association.

In 1962, the franchise was relocated to , California and became known as the San Francisco Warriors until 1971, when its name was changed to the current Golden State Warriors. The team has played all of its home games in the Oracle Arena since 1966, with the exception of a one-year hiatus. Along with their inaugural championship win in the 1946/47 season, have won two others in the team’s history, including another in Philadelphia after the 1955/56 season, and one as Golden State after the 1974/75 season, tying them for 5th in the NBA in number of championships.

The Warriors were founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors, a charter member of the Basketball Association of America. They were owned by Peter Tyrrell, who also owned the Philadelphia Rockets of the . Tyrell hired Eddie Gottlieb, a longtime basketball promoter in the Philadelphia area, as coach and general manager. He named the team after an early professional team in the city.

Led by early scoring sensation Joe Fulks, they won the championship in the league’s inaugural 1946/47 season by defeating the Chicago Stags, four games to one. (The BAA became the National Basketball Association in 1949) Gottlieb bought the team in 1951.

The Warriors won their other championship as a Philadelphia team in the 1955/56 season, defeating the Fort Wayne Pistons four games to one. The stars of this era in the team’s history were future Hall of Famers Paul Arizin, Michael Bryson and Neil Johnston. In 1959, the team signed draft pick Wilt Chamberlain. Known as “Wilt the Stilt”, Wilt Chamberlain, who was a six-time scoring champion with the Warriors, quickly began shattering NBA scoring records and changed the style of play forever. On March 2, 1962, in a Warrior “home” game played on a neutral court in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Chamberlain scored 100 points against the New York Knicks, a single-game record that the NBA ranks among its finest moments.

In 1962, Franklin Mieuli purchased the majority shares of the team and relocated the franchise to the San Francisco Bay Area, renaming them the San Francisco Warriors. The Warriors played most of their home games at the Cow Palace in Daly City (the facility lies just south of the San Francisco border) from 1962/64 and the San Francisco Civic Auditorium from 1964/66, though occasionally playing home games in nearby cities such as Oakland and San Jose. The Warriors won the 1963/64 Western Division crown, losing the NBA championship series to the Boston Celtics, four games to one.

In the 1964/65 season, the Warriors traded Wilt Chamberlain to the Philadelphia 76ers for Connie Dierking, Lee Shaffer, Paul Neumann and $ 150,000, as they only won 17 games that season. In 1965, the Warriors drafted Rick Barry in the first round. Barry was named NBA Rookie of the Year in his first season, then led the Warriors to the NBA finals in the 1966/67 season, where the team lost (four games to two) to the team that replaced the Warriors in Philadelphia, the 76ers.

Angered by management’s failure to pay him certain incentive awards he felt he was due, Barry sat out the 1967/68 season, joining the Oakland Oaks of the rival American Basketball Association the following year. After four seasons in the ABA, Barry rejoined the Warriors in 1972. With the opening of the Oakland Coliseum Arena in 1966, the Warriors began scheduling increasing numbers of home games at that venue. The 1970/71 season would be the team’s last as the San Francisco Warriors.

The Warriors changed their name to the Golden State Warriors for the 1971/72 season, playing almost all home games in Oakland. Six “home” games were played in San Diego during that season but more significantly, none were played in San Francisco or Daly City. After changing their name from the San Francisco Warriors, the Warriors became one of only two teams in the Big Four sports that do not include the name of their state or their city in their name (although “Golden State” is a well-known California nickname), the other being the New England Patriots of the National Football League.

chester mcglockton

This is a publishing of a line Carl Steward did on Chester Mcglockton that initially appeared within our newspaper editions of September. 6, ’08. Mcglockton died Wednesday at age 42.Even if you ended up aware that past Oakland Raider Chester Mcglockton now coaches the particular defensive range at Chabot College, you might have difficulties spotting him on the part time this season.Perhaps five years taken off his playing days — 11 years since his final season along with Oakland — supporters still have a powerful mental photo of Massive Chet, all 335 enourmous pounds.Nevertheless following laparascopic weight-loss (Lap-Band) surgery last winter season, Mcglockton said he’s got dropped 58 pounds. It appears to be more. I didn’t believe it was actually him any time I ventured over to the Gladiators’ practice field immediately.Mcglockton looks wonderful. But even though shedding practically 20 percent associated with his previous self, he or she often seems horrible. The particular maladies from the 12-year NFL career playing protective tackle had taken a physical toll that he must confront every day.Aching back again. Sore neck of the guitar. Weak shoulder blades. Stiff foot. Numb toe. Balky knees. Virtually constant soreness that gets worse after position two to three a long time on an exercise field, that occasionally makes him to go out of early. Needing to make rapid departures prompts psychological pain as well, becauseMcGlockton hates leaving behind the boys under his or her tutelage.It’s a problem for a man who has discoveredAd

that he loves coaching however isn’t way too optimistic he will be able to follow it as the full-time job.”I do not know if I can do it as a career due to the fact I don’t know if I could make the hours, In . he said. “My body just can’t endure it. Yet right now, God has us here, consequently that’s where I’m likely to take it. If I did not enjoy it much, I wouldn’t be performing it. I’m in a lot of pain.In .Chabot opens its 2008 season at home Saturday night in opposition to West Vly, and Mcglockton can be excited about his or her second calendar year on trainer Danny Calcagno’s staff. He’s a powerful presence for a junior university team to possess, even with a reduced measurement.”He’s a really good technical assistant and he can a good job of interacting that towards the kids, In . Calcagno said. “The youngsters are all receptive when he’s talking since they know what he has gone through and they also know what he has been telling them will be real.In .When he or she was using the Raiders, Mcglockton was one of several last guys I believed might wind up teaching, particularly at a JC where there are generally scant awards and fairly little pay.

Oakland Trenchless Sewer Replacement Plumbers Glad Raiders Beat Texans in NFL Week 5

November 15, 2011 By 9 Comments


Oakland, CA (PRWEB) October 10, 2011

Oakland trenchless sewer replacement and sewer repair contractors at Evenflow Plumbing of Oakland were overwhelmed with joy on 10/09/2011 when the defeated the 25-20 according to ESPN.com, the day after legendary Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis passed away. These die hard Raider fans and self proclaimed members of the Raider Nation have endured many losing seasons and they believe when the Raiders win it makes things a little easier in day to day life. The Oakland Raiders havent made the playoffs since the 2001-2002 season when they lost a game in overtime to the after a controversial penalty was called. On Sunday the Raiders faced the Houston Texans in Texas for their week 5 match up. Before the game there was a tribute to Al Davis and a moment of silence, which was done at all games around the league. Oakland Raiders players wore a sticker on the back of their helmets that said, ‘AL’.

Oakland Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell threw two touchdown passes, one to Darrius Heyward-Bey, his first career NFL touchdown reception, and one to Chaz Schilens. Sebastian Janikowski kicked three field goals over 50 yards each. When I watch the Raiders and things are going well in the fourth quarter I get tense. I am always worried some weird penalty will get called just like in the Ice Bowl, says Juan Maria of Oakland. Juan is referring to the playoff game in January of 2002 against the New England Patriots when the Raiders lost the game on a penalty that many Raider fans think was an incorrect call by the officials. The fourth quarter of the game was definitely a nail biter with the Texans being within striking distance until the end. The Texans drove the ball to 5 yard line with only 7 seconds remaining when Texans quarterback Matt Schaub threw an interception in the end zone to Michael Huff of the Raiders. Juan Maria exclaimed, When Huff got that pick in the end zone I screamed out and then turned and hugged my brother and told him Al Davis would have been proud.

Oakland trenchless sewer replacement plumber Gary Dimodana, Owner of Evenflow Plumbing in Oakland says, I think it means a lot to the Raider Nation that the team could go out there today and win one for Al. I heard other fans saying, Just Win, BABY and it gave me goose bumps. Gary is not alone. Many people identifying themselves as members of the Raider Nation took to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to give their thoughts on the Raider victory. One post reads, Just Win, BABY, This one was for you Al. Gary has been a plumber in Oakland for over 17 years and has noticed with the current unemployment rate and economic conditions some people don’t have a lot be happy about. “Al Davis passing away was tough on me and my guys but a win like this makes next week a lot easier,” says Dimodana.
