Warriors' Golden Start Fuels Early Optimism

Filed under: Clippers, Lakers, Warriors, NBA Rumors

OAKLAND, Calif. - Joe Lacob sat courtside at Oracle Arena on Friday night, clapping like the rest of the 17,408 in attendance during the home team's raucous rout of the Clippers, while the other team's mascot danced on the logo of the Golden State team he is expected to soon own.

It wasn't Clipper Darrel doing the boogie, though, so none of the locals had their blue-and-gold sensibilities offended. Quite the opposite, in fact. It was Lou Seal of the San Francisco Giants, visiting on a day off from his latest World Series shift in this baseball-crazed region.

While Lacob surely isn't delusional enough to be envisioning a trip to basketball's ultimate stage -- the NBA Finals -- this season, the Warriors did indeed keep the Bay Area party rolling in a 109-91 win that set local history.
