Three losses following the break
Ok this has been a bad stretch for the Warriors following the All-Star break. I don’t like updating following losses, but considering they have lost three and a row and have another game tonight I think I should just update before it gets too long. This has not been a good stretch of basketball especially with all these games being without Baron Davis.
The first game following the All-Star break the Warriors took on the Sacramento Kings and lost 77-102. This was not a pretty game at any point, especially with the Warriors being down by as many as 35 at one point. The Warriors were out of the game since the first quarter. The bright spot of the game was Andris Biedrins whose hustle and energy accumulated 12 points and 8 rebounds. It wasn’t enough for the team to even be close but it is something to build on.
The second of three games was against a Houston Rockets team without its best player (Tracy McGrady), yet the Warriors still fell 88-91. The Warriors blew an amazing performance from Jason Richardson who led all scorers with 39 points. Troy Murphy also added in 15 points and 17 rebounds, but there wasn’t enough help outside those two to get the win. The Warriors played from behind the whole game until the third quarter where they got up by about 6 points. The lead wasn’t enough unfortunately as the offense disappeared in the fourth quarter and the Warriors ended up with 2 losses in a row.
Game three of the so far three game losing streak came against the defending Champion San Antonio Spurs. The Warriors lost 75-92 in another beating. The bright spot of the game was Rookie Monta Ellis scoring a career high 16 points as his defense helped slow down Tony Parker. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough though. But at least this ends the road trip and the Warriors head back home for a few games.
Tonight the Warriors will be taking on the Utah Jazz in the Oakland Arena and this is the time that the Warriors have to make a run. The Warriors have 6 very winnable games coming up before the have to play the Miami Heat. Currently the Warriors are 24-31 this season. If the Warriors can win the next 6 games and get themselves to 30-31 they will be in much better shape, especially since the are only 4 games out of the last playoff spot right now. Even if this team can’t make the playoffs if they can finish this season with a .500 record it will be a victory for the team since they haven’t had that successful of a season since the 1993-1994 season when they finished 50-32.
