One Game Over .500


Well the Warriors put an end to their 5 game losing streak by beating the Boston Celtics 111-109. This game marked Ike Diogu’s first game as a starter for the Warriors and it was doubly beneficial. For one, it brought Diogu’s scoring in the game to begin with to help to eliminate the poor starts the Warriors have been having, but it actually seemed to spark Adonal Foyle as well. He came off the bench and had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 5 blocks. That is the type of production that the Warriors need from Foyle. It must just work for him to have the energy coming off the bench as well as not having to match up with the starting center. Jason Richardson had a fantastic game scoring 36 points to lead all scorers. This isn’t a fantastic win by any stretch. It was a grind it out win against a team they should beat and revenge for the loss they already suffered against the Celtics this season. This was also the Warriors making sure once again that they are atleast even in the season series against the Celtics. Out of all the finished series only Detroit won the series, so that is a good start for the Warriors. Not only was this a nice win to see the Warriros get since it kept them from falling below .500, which they haven’t done all season, but it was a win that was witnessed by the Greatest Quarter back of all-time. Joe Montana.

Up next is a HUGE test for the Warriors. On Friday the Warriors take on the Dallas Mavericks who own a tied for the best record in the Western Conference with the San Antonio Spurs. How the Warriors do in that game will tell a lot about how good this team really is.
