actually the home of the GS Warriors is in San Francisco/Bay area (I spend a lot of time there). Their arena is in Oakland but was moved out there when space became an issue and Oakland had a lot of cheap space.
The Warriors have always served Bay Area residents, especially those from San Francisco. At one time the Golden State Warriors were known as the San Francisco Warriors and the San Francisco trolley system was pictured on the original jersey.
Many times when Arenas are moved away from the name of the capital city out to a neighboring borough. The Phoenix Suns at one point were going to move to the city of Mesa and were going to become the "Arizona Suns". The New Jersey Nets serve the capital but the actual stadium is outside Trenton in East Rutherford, but no one calls the New Jersey Nets, the "East Rutherford Nets"
