First, I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Now let's talk b-ball. Ok, so the W's beat Memphis at home and go to Sac town and pull one off there. Our next 6 games look like this. Home against Denver and the Toronto, Then we go to Portland, back home for Philadelphia, at Boston and at NJ. 4 games against the Atlantic division and 2 against struggling teams. I think we could possibly nab 4 of these games the was the W's are playing. Im hoping for 4-2. What do you guys think?

Portland hasn't been doing very well lately. Boston is a maybe, it just depends on how we play. NJ really depends on how they do before we play them. I'm not sure about Denver, but I think we can overcome Toronto
Any of those teams are beatable. It just depends on the Warriors effort on defense and their ability to value posessions. We still don't have a solid post presence, but we have a good catch and shoot player in Troy Murphy who is a lock to get you 10 boards a night or more. Jason Richardson is getting at least 20 points per game consistently. The Warriors just have to make their perimeter shots fall, drive the ball inside to get fouled, make their foul shots, and help each other out defensively, because they are not great defenders or scorers individually. Although Claxton is good on defense, his length alone won't stop 6'3 point guards from shooting or finishing right over him. I guess Jrich is a good scorer, but it's hard to see him scoring at least 80% from the line and driving the lane without turning it over and dribbling it off his foot or into the hands of the other team's players.
All of these games are winnable. Minimum I would hope for is 3-3. In order to gain some ground in the standings though, we are going to need to go 4-2 or better. We are 9-18 right now. If we can go 4-2 we will have a 13-20 record. We need to start winning as many as possible from here on out. We are starting to realize who our players are and each players roles. The offense is flowing well, we are hitting our shots and begginning to play a little defense. As long as the effort is there, we should win at least half of these games...

Toronto just lost Vince so we will get the, NJ, depends how they do with the new team, Denver and Boston I think we will take. Philly could go any way, and Portland, well there Portland.
