King Kaufman's Sports Daily

The Golden State Warriors bandwagon! Hop on. Don't mind the lack of wheels. Plus: Why players might stay in college. Hint: Not to go to class.

    voodoo oddsmaking

    as a recent transplant to the bay area, justin case, i hope you're ready for the oakland curse.

    if you follow the A's at all you're very familiar with the pattern. you go up 2-0 in a 5 game division series, then blow 3 straight.

    this last year they made it to the ALCS and i blubbered like a little girl.

    i have a feeling the Warriors will suffer a similar fate.

    i think this curse is somehow related to Mt. Davis - the shadow of which falls on the arena for 9 minutes daily, thus extending the curse to basketball and justin timberlake concerts.
