OAKLAND — Oracle Arena has been so loud with cheers from Golden State Warriors fans this week hoping for another NBA championship — even with two losses — that another deep-seeded emotion was obscured: a profound sense pending loss that their ‘Dubs are playing their very last games in this storied place.
To many local fans, when the new season starts in the fall and the team moves into a new billion-dollar facility in San Francisco, the Warriors will be leaving their hearts in Oakland.
In the locker room this week, even the players are getting sentimental.
