This cache is to signify two things:
- Celebrate the win of the Golden State Warriors over the Houston Rockets to make it to the finals
- Fill in some color needs for Box of Crayons Challenge: (64 Box)
The Golden State Warriors last made the NBA Finals in 1967, when they were still in San Francisco. In the years since, they moved to Oakland, briefly lost Rick Barry to the American Basketball Association, and named Warriors great Al Attles as head coach. Before the start of the 1974–75 season they traded future Hall of Famer Nate Thurmond to the Chicago Bulls for young center Clifford Ray. They also drafted Jamaal Wilkes, then known as Keith Wilkes, out of UCLA. With Barry as the offensive leader, and with Attles using a team approach to coaching, the Warriors managed to finish the season atop the Western Conference with 48 wins. In the playoffs, they defeated the Seattle SuperSonics in six games, then eliminated Thurmond and the Bulls in seven games to advance to the Finals. TOday they are back there once again
Not too long ago I attended a CITO event on Treasure Island in San Francisco and was working towards Treasure and Yerba Buena Islands 50/50 Challenge. Although possible without completing the Crayon Box Challenges, it sure would have been a lot easier if I had those to contribute towards the challenge. Here is my contribution.
