yep -- the game has been on viper all night -- and then just a minute ago this history show comes on, right in the middle of the 4th q... ugh. Oh well, Warriors win!
Yay, another win. The first 3 game win streak in a long long time. Also the Warriors tie the Clippers in the season series which may be significant in a few weeks from now.
Pulled out a 10pt win. It looked ugly according to the box scores. Baron had 25 pts on only 10 attempts from the field!

<div class="quote_poster">Warriorfansnc93 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">yup, exactly what I was thinking...</div> Yeah, I am also thinking how important that Wizard game is still. But what is up with Cassell? He didn't play that much at all. Is he injured as well as Livingston? If so that could be a big blow to their team, that the Warriors could definitley take advantage of.
3-0 with the lineup of Davis/Richarson/Jackson/Harrington/Biedrins. I'm probably more optimistic than Warrior fans, but I still think they will make the playoffs and face Dallas. EDIT: BTW, the Warriors have also shot way better from the FT line the past 3 games. They shot 85% against Detroit and Denver and 77% against the Clippers tonight.
Cassell was day-2-day, but he played a bit tonight, I think. Mostly Hart and Ewing for the Clips, though. It wasn't ugly at all. I saw most of the second half, and the Warriors basically maintained the lead the whole time. Clips got to within maybe 9, but that was it. Barnes had at least 4 threes. Jackson had some sweet assists. But the Clips looked pretty bad. Go Warriors!
Cassell has some kind of abdominal and groin problem, which is why he didn't play much. I was watching the Clippers broadcast, which is pretty good. I enjoy listening to them, more so than the W's broadcast, but that's because I've listened to Barnett and Fitz for too long. The only annoying thing is when the color guy says bingo! Annoys the hell out of me. The warriors looked amazing in the first half. It was really exciting to watch, and then the second half the clippers stopped the fast break and the W's couldn't score in the half court. Nothing new. I was really impressed with Davis and Jackson. Those were two guys I was not too high on coming into the season, but their play and effort has really changed my opinion.

But then the Clips and W's couldn't string together any baskets. It stayed 4-6 for a while, and then Davis hit two big shots. I agree that the Clips didn't look that great. They really need Cassell.
Pretty impressive 3 games winning streak with finally healthy line up. And, we have been blowing other teams out with rebounding for last four games. Considering that we are the worst rebounding team in the league, that's pretty impressive. Can't imagine we are actually 1.5 games out of 8th place and 2 games out of 7th place. Let's see if this is real or illusion in Sunday road trip...
Agh! Don't say "road trip"!!! haha... Thanks for the information about Cassell. Hopefully the Clippers continue on a losing skid, along with the other teams. I'll take any help that the Warriors can get, if it means making the playoffs. Though part of me feels like keeping expectations low. Maybe the Warriors decide to play better when expectations are lower. Then again maybe it's just the new full, starting lineup that we have been waiting for that is carrying this team with more confidence and more rebounding. I love how the Warriors had many more FGA's than the Clippers. That is a good stat to have for any game against any team.
With Baron back, the roster is just deeper. Monta off the bench? That's awesome! He's an INSTANT change of pace and different look.... instant offense, too. He usually catches people off guard the first few minutes he checks in, while they adapt to how damn quick he is. Then baron the bruiser comes back in and now it's a phyiscal PG again. Excellent combination to mix it up, IMO. Plus, with Baron back, Harrington, JRich, and Jax can go back to being secondary guys. It's Baron's team again. They don't have to take the big shot. As complimentary players, they are awesome together. Plus, Barnes and Az off the bench have been playing great because they have their legs and don't have to play heavy minuites so they can run, which Nellie loves.
Oh man, I hope that Wizards game doesn't come back to haunt us. Good win BTW! If the Dubs make the playoffs... wow. I would have never seen that coming. I guess the big question is are we better than New Orleans, Minnesota, Denver or Sacramento?
I take all the credit. I have missed the last 4 games.... we have a winning record since. Moving sucks.... worse is moving to a new cable company who refuses to honor my NBa league pass subscription.... and wants me to pay $99 bones for their half season price... so basically paying double.... if they keep winning i may be tempted.... killing me to miss these games and down here everything is televised.. have not missed a game til the wiz game and since21.... ugh.... and no internet either ughh ughh glad to see the team finally healthy and looks like we are doing our typical hot end for the season.... hopefully with something to play for the whole way. And the lakers keep dropping games.... i hope they drop out of playoff contention... first a six game streak and now a five?
The thing that sucks about us being only 1.5 games behind the Clips is that we have played more game (3-5~) so if they win out, we will lose the race...
With Cassell injured and Livingston out, I don't think we need to worry about that. Sacramento has a long east coast road trip to contend with too.
What a game! I was there last night and man..the vibe there is incredible. Everyone was into it and it was loud as heeeeelll..Probably one of the loudest games i've been at all season. You can tell our team is rolling together and we're creating a good chemistry. Right when they called out the starting lineup you can tell everyong was gellin. Even when we went on those runs the bench was going nuts! Highlight of the day was when I saw an old caucasian guy fitted in the Clippers Warm up. I saw him in the bathroom and he was decked out even with a red headband and old school shoes that said clippers. Later i found out he was sitting near my section and when the warriors were shooting free throws he took out the clippers sticks and started bashing them together. Everyone was booing him but I think he did it just to get laughs. Even when the team was down by 15 he took out the clippers flag and waved it around. This guy had to be pushing 60s or 70s
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">We are beating the Blazers for sure! </div> I hope you're right. I sense a typical let down game by the W's. Plus the Blazers are an up and coming team. Nate McMillan(sp) is a very good coach.
