It's Been a Hell of a Run

It is fitting that, on the final game of the season, the Warriors' 4-game winning streak was snapped, simultaneously ruining their perfect record since the site's inception. Even more fitting was that Lepper's man-crush Monta Ellis missed a pretty good look to tie with 2 seconds left, spoiling what had been a great game (featuring a career-high 27 points) for the rookie out of high school. At least Ellis can know he was beaten by a superior rookie point guard, as Deron Williams scored 12 points and dished 13 dimes in just 24 minutes.

So this is how the NBA season will end for the Warriors: losing a heartbreaker, alone in a strange city without their favorite beat writer to guide them along the path to solace. And that is how it will end for all of us. The playoffs will be meaningless without Geoff's inane ramblings. I mean, following the Warriors in order to point out the multitude of errors in Lepper's "articles" is one thing, but who wants to follow the A's? It's been a whirlwind week, friends...we have grown a loyal readership in a short time and even enjoyed some short-lived fame after being linked from the Warriors' fan blog. Had we emerged on the scene earlier, perhaps we could have worked some Calbert Cheaney jokes into the mix, but now is not the time for regrets. I am beginning to tear up, so I will let Mel Brooks as Yogurt take us home:
