I just found out that the "Dubs" are the Golden State Warriors. I was mystified as to how The Golden State Warriors could be abbreviated as The Dubs. I did not see the letters "Dub" any place in The Golden State Warriors. Then someone told me, " No Tom... they are The WARRIORS and the word warriors begins with the letter "W" and when pronouncing the letter "W" the first syllable is the sound "Dub." I almost threw up at the stupidity of the entire idea.
So evidently the highly educated, sophisticated, cosmopolitan fans of the Golden State WARRIORS have collectively decided that "The Dubs" is a valid, reasonable, witty & clever nickname for their team. Excuse me while I go shoot myself in the buttocks.
I'm very happy the Dubs lost. Stupid people should not be rewarded for being stupid.
