This is going to be a short double update because I am not feeling great right now.

Well the Warriors came out on both sides of the game in the past two games, both in overtime. The Warriors were part of their first and second overtime games this season on back to back nights, always a tough thing for a team. On Tuesday night against the Seattle Supersonics the Warriors won 110-107 in overtime with Baron Davis hitting a 3 pointer with .4 seconds left in the game. Ray Allen had a big game, scoring 35 points in Seattle’s loss. The Warriors were lead by 26 from Derek Fisher off the bench.

In the second game in two nights the Warriors lost 111-105 in overtime to the Houston Rockets. This was a game that the Warriors should have won. With a little over 5 seconds left in the 4th quarter the Warriors were up by 3 points and they should have chosen to foul making the Rockets shoot 2 free throws and not let them tie. They didn’t do that and Houston tied with a three pointer. The momentum was just about gone by then and the Warriors lost in the first overtime. The Warriors were led by 28 from Jason Richardson and 27 points and 13 assists from Baron Davis, unfortunately it wasn’t enough. Houston was led by Yao Ming with 30 points and 16 rebounds.

One little NBA side note I would like to mention. The enigmatic Ron Artest (the man who last season was suspended the whole season for attacking a fan in Detroit and causing a riot) has forced the Indiana Pacers to trade him. Now teams all around the league are trying to make the deal to land him. Although he is crazy he is very good and one of the best defenders in the league, so in my opinion he is worth the trouble. I would love to see him become a Warrior if the price is right. I wouldn’t want to give up too much because the team is doing well right now and he does have his issues. So we should see within the next week which team lands the Ron Artest Sweepstakes.
