Farewell B. Diddy

Here at Still Orange & Black, we're pretty much one-sport guys. But if there is a second team in our hearts, it's the Golden State Warriors. And it's a sad day to be a Warriors fan. Just a day after opting out of the final year of his contract, Baron Davis signed a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. This is very disappointing for a team that has been getting better for several years. I'm sure many Warriors fans will hate Davis for this, but that's just the way sports is today. In reality, Warriors fans owe Davis a huge debt of gratitude. While he was a very good player, he had an ability to elevate his game to superstar levels when he needed to, most notably in the 2007 upset over the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks, which is arguably the best Bay Area sports moment of this decade. While I'm sad to say Baron go, giving a guy with a bum knee a lengthy contract seems like a risky move. Nevertheless, it will be tough to replace his production.
