As the excitement of the 2016 NBA playoff season is in full gear, it’s clear that the Golden State Warriors are having one heck of a season \u2014 despite a couple recent heartbreakers. With Turo HQ in SF, a fair slice of the company are diehard Dubs fans. So since tonight\u2019s game against the OKC Thunder in the Western Conference Final Round is do or die (and they\u2019re gonna DO), we thought we\u2019d put our best juju out in anticipation of tonight\u2019s Big Game.<\/p>\n
First, a look back.<\/span><\/p>\n Ending their spectacular regular season at #1 in the West with a 73-9 record, this team\u2019s work ethic, talent, and perseverance is simply undeniable.<\/span><\/p>\n The Warriors are on fire, and by far the most entertaining bball team in the NBA right now. <\/span>Dubs fans are so stoked on the season, Oracle arena in Oakland has been dubbed the “Roaracle”, \u00a0and the Splash Brothers (Steph Curry and Klay Thompson) love putting on a dazzling show for Dub Nation. Now with plans set for the new <\/span>Chase Center<\/span><\/a> to be built in the Mission Bay area of San Francisco, our Golden State Warriors are heading home: back over the Bay Bridge to the \u201cThe City.” <\/span><\/p>\n To make this post tangentially relevant to Turo, we decided to delve into the players\u2019 relationships to cars. Some have a stronger affinity than others, but everyone needs to get somewhere somehow. <\/span><\/p>\n Starting center Andrew Bogut is a lifelong grease monkey. The son of a mechanic (\u201cmy dad had a lot of hot cars and cars that were souped up\u201d), the massive Australian has owned as many as 35 cars (as <\/span>reported by Yahoo! Sports<\/span><\/a>) and he has a soft spot specifically for classics. A classic muscle car restoring hobbyist, he braves the hard work involved in their upkeep for the love of the game. \u201cOlder cars have their own soul,\u201d he told Yahoo!\u2019s Marc J. Spears, and <\/span>we couldn\u2019t agree more<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Fourth-year forward Draymond Green is a green machine. <\/span>He partnered with BMW<\/span> during the 2016 season to \u201cinvestigate better ways to incorporate green initiatives and technology\u201d into people\u2019s everyday lives. He was also in the spotlight for pushing his Bimmer a little too hard and fast, but he\u2019s since apologized. <\/span><\/p>\n A young gun at just 23, small forward Harrison Barnes only got his license a few years ago. Regardless, he\u2019s already <\/span>starred in GMC commercial<\/span><\/a>, which, <\/span>according to Reddit<\/span><\/a>, didn\u2019t expressly mention the Warriors or the NBA for competing sponsorship reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n Point guard, MVP, and all around Golden Boy Steph Curry <\/span>reportedly has Mercedes G-Wagon<\/span><\/a>. You can rent one and be as rad as Steph, maybe <\/span>this one<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>this one<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>this one<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n GO DUBS!<\/span><\/p>\n *Photo credit:\u00a0A season of Curry Flurries<\/span><\/h3>\n
