Last Nights Exiting Win

The Golden State Warriors finally pulled through with a big "W" lastnight against the New York Knicks during our show and we did not get a chance to bring you the news. This was the re-match from a couple of weeks ago when Steph Curry had a career night in Madison Square Garden scoring 54 points. He did not go 50+ but he did tally 26 points and the Warriors did walk out of Oracle arena with a win, which Warrior fans would take any day. David Lee also returned to the line-up adding another 21 points.

There was a controversial flagrant foul in which a Knicks player, Smith, was ejected. He blatantly and intentionally fouled a Warrior player for no reason. Carmello Anthony was all but shut-down scoring only 14 points. The game was a 29 point blow-out with the final score Warriors 92 Knicks 63. This was not just a win, but the biggest land side win of the season for Golden State. With playoffs not too far away, the Warriors need to continue playing like they did last night against playoff caliber teams and they need to avoid close heart-wrenching losses like they experienced the two previous games. They need to take this win and build some momentum going into the playoffs.

Update on Recent Radio Show

Edwin Peabody

                                                        Backyard Radio

An update on our last radio show Friday, March 8^{th Steven} and I discussed a few controversial sports topics, 1^st topic was, who was the best NBA best duo in the league currently? LeBron James and Duane Wade? Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard? Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook? Or Tony Parker and Tim Duncan? Steven and I thought long and hard about the answer to this very controversial question. We also had very special listeners, who happen to be Steven brother in Law tune in with us from 9-10 on KSFS media.net, chiming in on the conversation, and giving his opinion on the topic. After analyzing the stat of all the players, together we all came to the conclusion that LeBron James and Duane Wade were the best NBA duos as of right now but we also made it very clear that Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were very close to stealing this title from James and Wade. As far and Tony Parker and Tim Duncan goes, they were placed in category of being the best duo in overall time but not currently. Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howards stats did not look convincing enough to receive the title.

            We then got in to our 2^nd topic, which was on thee first female being allowed to try out for the regional combine as a field goal kicker, Lauren Silberman. Lauren did not do as good as she expected being that all three of her field goal kick attempts did not exceed 20 yards, also managing to hurt herself on her last kick attempt. Steven and I gave our valued opinion on this topic debating whether Women are physically able to compete against men or join me in Co-Ed professional Football. Joe also was very helpful in this discussion providing information on Lauren’s history in sports to which me and Steven knew very little. Together we came to the conclusion that a woman participating in professional football with or against men was not a good idea. Next week, Jeff, Steven and I plan to have more interesting sports topic and great music to listen to so tune to backyard Radio from 9-10PM on Friday.

The Valley of the Sun

By Steven Lentz II

While I was in Scottsdale, Arizona this past weekend for spring training I had the privilege to attend two games. The first was on March 1^st when the San Francisco Giants played against the Oakland A’s at the Phoenix Municipal Stadium. This stadium has been around since 1964 and is now the spring training facility for the A’s.

I thought this stadium was a little small compared to the Scottsdale stadiums. The scoreboard is small and hard to read and it provides minimal information. But the atmosphere was great and even though it was the A’s stadium, the Giants fans owned the park. The best part of this day was the Giants beating the A’s 13-9.

The last game was at Scottsdale Stadium, which is the exclusive home of the San Francisco Giants. Located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. This gem of a ballpark lets fans soak up the sun while checking out the amazing view of Camelback Mountain. With a capacity of 12,000, Scottsdale Stadium is one of the larger venues in the Cactus League with a feel that brings fans closer to the action than they have ever been. The game was packed throughout the stadium as the Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 9-7.

All in all, both stadiums were fun and I enjoyed my first spring training experience and would recommend anyone who is a baseball fan to check it out Phoenix, Arizona.
