For Warriors fans, this time of year is the best of times, and worst times.
Best because the Warriors are playing one meaningful game after another. And worst because we’re denied NBC Sports Bay Area analyst Jim Barnett, a level head who played the game, when games are broadcast exclusively on national outlets.
(Yes, I’m aware Barnett joins Tim Roye on radio broadcasts when TNT and ESPN take over. But the great irony at my house in this technology intensive age is that we have approximately 837 screens and no radio.)
Anyway.
Without Barnett to patiently explain to us the whys, wherefores and what-the-hecks?
