The Golden State Warriors, sans Andrew Bogut, knocked off the San Antonio Spurs 107-101 in OT earlier Friday night. But it’s hard to determine whether Warriors fans are more excited about Jarrett Jack’s 30 points coming off the bench, or the team’s new sleeved jerseys.

The new-look Warriors still put to rest a staggering 16 straight losses against San Antonio. The Warriors wore their yellow short-sleeved jerseys complete with pinstriped shorts for the first time, and perhaps the look shook off the Spurs.

It sure shook up Twitter. Here’s a sampling:

The Warriors are also planning to wear the sleeved jerseys for home games against Houston on March 8 and Chicago on March 15.

    Since this will be the final post in the history of Off The Bench, I feel that this post can’t just be a simple post about an NFL player buying segways for his teammates or an improbable buzzer beater from a high school basketball game. I’d like to echo the sentiments that Rick featured in…

    So the Miami Heat have won 27 straight, and have an excellent chance of breaking the NBA record for consecutive wins, 33, set by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers. Here’s a pretty good breakdown comparing the two teams. But if you’re like me, it’s not enough to know that Thor and Hercules were both very…

    Life as a lesser Belushi can be frustrating at times, I’d imagine: even though you occasionally get to be in films like Trading Places and be married to Courtney Thorne-Smith. Also you get to participate in Shoot-the-Puck contests at Chicago Blackhawks games. Jim Belushi was born in Chicago, so I sure hope he makes this…

    At almost every college/professional basketball game these days, one lucky fan is brought out onto the court to win some sort of cash or prize by making a number of shots or a half-court shot. For most, the pressure is pretty high but for one Serbian basketball fan attending an Adriatic League basketball game between KK Igokea…

This of course called for McDonald’s-themed uniforms (later auctioned for charity), but…
