The Dwight train has two additional stopovers, as Dwight Howard has reportedly considered Golden State and Atlanta as possible destinations. Of course, these two teams have been pursuing him since last year, but it more than a long shot for them to be chosen. It seems that Dwight has re-evaluated, and is now considering his options. After a dismal season with the Lakers, it’s hard to blame him.     per Press Telegram:     A source familiar with Howard’s thinking says he plans to test free agency and has considered the Lakers, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta and Golden State. Nothing remains binding, though. The source added Howard’s main concern involves “what team he feels has the best chance to win championships, has the best team and system around him.” The source also stressed Howard has not and will not ask the Lakers to make any moves on his behalf.   Kupchak acknowledged the team has made unspecified contingency plans...

It was also not long ago that Howard received an elbow in the face from Warriors forward David Lee, and responding with “I will remember.” Howard is now reportedly remembering the Warriors’ surprising surge through the first round of the Western Conference playoffs and taking the San Antonio Spurs to six games in the second round. According to the Los Angeles Daily News’ Mark Medina, Howard is reportedly considering the Warriors in free agency this offseason, to go along with the Lakers, Hawks, Rockets and Mavericks. It is a far cry from the NBA depths Golden State once found itself in, where no high-profile player wanted to test the historically inept franchise. Young and talented players with bright futures, an impressive playoff run and a state-of-the-art arena in the works certainly changes all of that.

The event was a nice tribute to the team after its successful season. There was only one problem: mayor Ed Lee made a blunder when he misspoke and called Curry “Steve” instead of “Steph.” “You know what they say: You give Steve Curry an inch, and he might take a Golden State a mile!” Lee said during his speech. “Just 25 years old, he has made it on Sports Illustrated. Cover. The first time a Warriors player has made that cover for his skill, for his talent, since 1980.” Wearing a blue blazer and yellow tie to represent the team’s colors, Lee seemed in tune with the Warriors. Earlier in the rally, he recognized Curry for setting the record for most 3-pointers made in a season. He did butcher the name of rookie Festus Ezeli, but that’s a tough one.

Two men, identified as residents of Contra Costa County, apparently were headed home from the game on Interstate 880 in a white 2010 Porsche Panamera when someone in a dark-colored SUV opened fire with a semi-automatic pistol, killing the driver, 30-year-old Christopher Beardon. The 28-year-old passenger, Terrance Marks, fled the car or was ejected as it struck the guardrail and veered into traffic, and he was struck and killed by another car. He also had been shot. Police are seeking help from fans who attended the game and studying surveillance video from Oracle Arena in hopes of identifying possible suspects. The victims were outfitted in Warriors gear and had ticket stubs from the game, according to Oakland police spokeswoman Johnna Watson, who spoke to local news outlets. Police do not believe it was a road rage incident based on the evidence, including the number of shots fired.

The plucky Warriors' effort wasn't lost on the home crowd, though. After the season-ending defeat, many fans at Oracle Arena stuck around to root their team off the floor. The gesture was so moving that the Golden State players, led by star guard Stephen Curry, returned to the court after retreating to the locker room to let them know they appreciated the support: "We just want to thank you guys for your continued support all season," Curry told the crowd, most of which was dressed in yellow Warriors T-shirts. "You guys made Oracle Arena a great place to play. The energy, the passion you have for us is unmatched across the league, so we want to just thank you guys.

As he has been prone to do throughout his entire career, Tony Parker shot down the Warriors’ dreams in flames with one deadly shot. Parker’s backbreaking 3-pointer with 1:15 to play Thursday pushed the San Antonio Spurs into the Western Conference finals with a 94-82 victory. The Spurs beat back  the Warriors in six games to set up a war for the conference title with the Memphis Grizzlies. San Antonio went into the locker room with a seven-point lead at halftime that they held on to with a tight fist. Golden State, however, battled back within three when Jarrett Jack hit two free throws with 2:20 to play. Kawhi Leonard responded with a 3-pointer for the Spurs with 2:01 left and Golden State was unable to answer when both Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry missed a 3-point attempt. The Spurs wore down the shot clock down and Parker ended it by hitting a 3-point shot that  demolished the Warriors hopes for a Game 7 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:19:54 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/video_stephen_curry_and_the_golden_state_warriors_say_goodbye/13637477 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/video_stephen_curry_and_the_golden_state_warriors_say_goodbye/13637477 Video: Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors say goodbye http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/video_stephen_curry_and_the_golden_state_warriors_say_goodbye/13637477 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/6/d/6d0bd9977e20adbc760062d78fcba6b26dc2fdaf/mini/6831012.jpg One of the best things this season was to see Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in the postseason.

In a story via Mike Foss of USA Today Sports, the Warriors revealed the first conceptual designs for a new arena that is supposed to be ready for the 2017 season. The arena would be 728,ooo square feet, and will also include a practice facility and team offices. The seating capacity will be less at 17,500 down from Oracle Arena’s 19,596. The designs are really amazing, and if the Warriors keep playing their fast-paced, aesthetically pleasing brand of basketball, I’m moving to Golden State.
