Warriors prepare for Game 1 of semifinals against Grizzlies

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Golden State Warrior fans are getting ready for Sunday's playoff game. The matchup is against the Memphis Grizzlies at the Oracle Arena.

The fans are said to be the loudest in the NBA and the team is known for playing a fast-paced game, both able to fuel each other's passion for the game.

"All the ohs and ahs of the crowd, how they're just behind you waiting for you to clinch that win every night," said Klay Thompson.

The team has had a week-long break. Friday they looked rested and prepared to face the Memphis Grizzlies, a team known for slowing down the pace of the game.

"It's about time we're back there. We're going to take it all this year though," Warriors fan Blake Lowe said.

The last time the Warriors won an NBA Championship was in 1975 as underdogs. Fans like Blake Lowe and his daughter wish they could get tickets.

"It's impossible unless you know somebody," Lowe said. "I'm going to enjoy the game hopefully with family and friends, unless you sent me to the game.

Sports bars will be packed on Sunday, so if you don't want to watch there, or at home on ABC 7, there are options.

The Alameda Theater and Cineplex will show the game for free. Tickets went on sale and they're sure to sell out quickly.

"Just trying to reach out and that's what we like to do is to give back to the community and create a connection with the community that's special, that's different from any other theater you'll find," said Kyle Conner of the Alameda Theater and Cineplex.

The proceeds from some of the food items they sell will go towards the Warriors Children's Charity. The last game shown helped raise $12,000.
