Three Losses in a Row

The Warriors lost another game tonight to the Sacramento Kings 93-96. This game was lost in the second quarter as the Warriors put up 13 points to Sacramento’s 29. It was a valiant attempt in the final minutes to get to within one, but that was as far as they could go. The Warriors were lead by Mike Dunleavy who scored 24 points. But there wasn’t too much other help. This was a very winnable game for the Warriors, but they didn’t win it. Now the Warriors have received their 41st loss of the season which means that the best they can do is a .500 record. That also pretty much means no playoffs unless the teams competing for the last playoff spot lose all the rest of their games and the Warriors win all theirs. Quite improbable. Now the question for the Warriors is do they keep playing their regulars or do they play more of the younger players and see what they have and get ready for next year.

Next up for the Warriors is a Sunday afternoon affair where the Warriors will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Could be an interesting game with neither team having anything to play for anymore except respect.

Another heartbreaking loss

The Warriors lost a heartbreaker last night to the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets 85-86. The Warriors had multiple chances in the dying seconds only to have Dunleavy convert after the buzzer had sounded. This game is typical of Warrior games lately as teams are keying their defenses to stop Jason Richardson and the rest of the Warriors just aren’t doing enough to help. Jason Richardson as well as Mike Dunleavy scored 19 points but it wasn’t enough. This was a very important game for the Warriors because Sacramento had won earlier in the day and the Hornets are between the Warriors and the Kings in the standings. The Warriors playoff chances are just about over now. Not completely but 99.9% chance they don’t get in now.

Next up for the Warriors are the Sacramento Kings again. Previously the Warriors outlasted the Kings in Sacramento so the Kings will have that much more reason to go for the win. That and for the reason of keeping the last seed in the playoffs. Should be a battle and I will predict a Warrior win right here and now. Go Warriors!!!!

The run is stopped

The Warriors lost to Warriors East tonight 116-98. The Warriors fell behind by 16 points at one point in the third and brought it down to down 4, but let it slip away again. The Warriors were lead by Jason Richardson who had another sub 20 point game with 18 points. The Warriors had 6 players in double figures scoring, but it wasn’t enough as Gilbert Arenas scored 40 points with 10 assists and Antawn Jamison had 31 points and 14 rebounds. The Warriors were clearly done in by the old Warriors. Unfortunately it ends the Warriors streak but fortunately it wasn’t a loss against a team that they are battling for the playoffs with.

Next up for the Warriors is a team that they are battling for a playoff spot with: The New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets. They have been on a bit of a rough stretch as of late, which is good for the Warriors, but bad for the feel good story team that had to be relocated this season due to Hurricane Katrina. The Warriors need this win or they can really start to make their plans for vacation.

A win against the upstate rivals

The Golden State Warriors pulled out a win against the Sacramento Kings last night 90-83. This is an important win for the Warriors since Sacramento holds the eighth and last playoffs spot in the Western Conference. Shocker of the night was that the Warriors leading scorer was… Adonal Foyle. Yeah I can’t believe I am saying that either, but old Stone Hands actually led the Warriors with 18 points. He was helped out by Mike Dunleavy and Derek Fisher who scored 17 and Jason Richardson who had 16 points.

The Warriors have a game tonight against the Washington Warriors… um I meant Wizards. Sorry I see enough former Warriors on that team to just rename them. If the Warriors can beat them, and avenge their loss from earlier this season, then the Warriors will be on a three game winning streak and making a legitimate push for the playoffs. My hopes aren’t high, but they are still there. GO WARRIORS!!!

An AMAZING Win!!!!!!!!!

The Warriors bounced back in dramatic fashion against the Dallas Mavericks to win 122-121 on a last second 3 pointer by Jason Richardson. It was an unbelievable ending to a great game. Richardson scored 40 points which were capped by the aforementioned 3 pointer and Dirk Nowitzki scored 51 in the loss for Dallas. Through most of the game Dallas was shooting 100% from the free throw line, but in the last 2 minutes they had 3 crucial missed free throws that allowed the Warriors to win this game. The Warriors on the other hand made all the key free throws at the end of this game to give them the opportunity to win and they took it. It was a fantastic effort from the Warriors and hopefully the keep it up.

Next up for the Golden State Warriors on Sunday are the Sacramento Kings who have been playing excellent basketball since the acquisition of Ron Artest. They are currently either the 7th or 8th seed in the playoffs. Warriors are still technically alive in the playoff picture, but they are looking in from a long way out. It would take nearly flawless basketball the rest of the season for them even to have a shot at getting in.

An end to the streak

The Warriors were not up to the challenge of the San Antonio Spurs last night as the fell 96-107. The Warriors put up a good fight the whole game even having a 5 point lead in the 4th quarter, but the Spurs turned on their defense and only ran the score up to double digits with only a couple minutes left in the game. I have to applaud the Warriors’ effort as they played hard, but not without some serious flaws as well. Derek Fisher lead the Warriors with 27 points, but it wasn’t enough to get the win.

Next up for the Golden State Warriors, on thursday, is the team that is only half a game behind the Spurs for the best record in the West, the Dallas Mavericks. This isn’t the Mavericks of a few years back, this team can still score, but it plays defense now too. This is going to be another test for the Warriors as this game is in Dallas. On a good note though, the Warriors have already beat Dallas once this season in Dallas. Should be a fun game to watch.

Two Game Winning Streak

The Warriors played the Minnesota Timberwolves a few days ago and won 105-97. This was a payback game for the Warriors as the T-Wolves beat them a few weeks back. The Warriors were lead in scoring by Mike Dunleavy who finally had a good day again, and it was about time as Jason Richardson had a slow game of only 15 points, but with all the carrying of the team he has done lately it was understandable. Derek Fisher chipped in with a career high tying 13 assists and Troy Murphy had another monster rebounding game as he pulled down 17 rebounds.


Earlier today the Warriors took on the Philadelphia 76ers and beat them 98-89. This was another payback game for the Warriors who lost to the Sixers earlier this season. This was a game that saw both teams playing without their star point guards: Baron Davis for the Warriors and Allen Iverson for the Sixers. The Warriors were once again lead by Mike Dunleavy who has put together two very good back to back games, by scoring 28 today and also had 10 rebounds. Jason Richardson also chipped in his season average of 23 points. Troy Murphy chipped in 12 points and 16 rebounds.

Next up for the Warriors is another road trip which unfortunately goes to the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday. The Spurs are just gearing up for the playoffs at this point and are trying to make sure that they are sharp and trying to hold onto the top seed in the Western Conference so they can have home court in the playoffs. This will be a tough game for the Warriors to take their two game winning streak up against, but there is no avoiding it. So BRING ON THE SPURS!!!!!!!

A huge win followed by another bad outing, and a little satire

I am updating two games today because it has been a busy weekend. The Warriors started off very strong with a win against Eastern Conference Powerhouse the Miami Heat and beat them 111-106. In a huge win for the Warriors Jason Richardson went for a Career high 44 points to carry the Warriors to victory. This was just a continuation of his fantastic play as of late and cementing him as the Warriors cornerstone.


Unfortunately the Warriors followed that up with a disheartening loss the Eastern Conference bottom-feeder the Orlando Magic as they lost 92-103. Jason Richardson finally cooled off and only scored 11 points as the Warriors lack of effort cost them a game they should have won.

The Warriors will have a bit of a layoff now as they return home from their longest road trip of the season and play again on Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Here is something funny just to make you laugh and maybe help with your Dunleavy frustrations.

The Losses are piling up

The Warriors lost yet another game today when they lost to the Charlotte Bobcats 101-104. This was a game that the Warriors were leading in the final minute of the game and yet found a way to lose it by the time the clock read 0:00. The Warriors were lead again by Jason Richardson, who scored 27, but they couldn’t get the important stops at the end of the game to secure the win. It is becoming quite a depressing time to be a Warriors fan, especially when they lose to an undermanned second year team.

The upcoming schedule only gets harder for the Warriors. Not only have the been losing to teams that they should be beating, but now they run up against the Miami Heat, a team that they shouldn’t be beating. The fact that their confidence seems to be dropping just means that they could be in for a severe beating. Let’s hope I am wrong. We will find out on Friday.

ANOTHER LOSS

The Warriors lost again yesterday afternoon to the Atlanta Hawks 106-113. This was another miserable 4th quarter for the Warriors since the Warriors came into the final quarter up by 1. The main story of this game was the battle between Jason Richardson and Joe Johnson who both scored 42 points. That was fun to watch the final quarter was not.

As I post this the Warriors are about to start their game against the Charlotte Bobcats, who are far down in the standings and full of injuries. I hope that means a win for the Warriors, but I can’t even say that comfortably anymore.

Another Loss

The Warriors lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 90-103 yesterday afternoon in a game that was close until the 4th quarter. The Warriors were once again spearheaded by Jason Richardson who scored 36 point and made 7 three pointers, but Kevin Garnett and his 23 points and 21 assists were too much for the Warriors to overcome. The effort lately from any Warrior not named Jason Richardson leads me to believe that many of them may be throwing in the towel. Not completely of course, but when some adversity seems to rear its ugly head, then the team appears to cave. The Warriors appear as though they are gearing up for their off-season trip to Secaucus, New Jersey for the annual draft lottery to see where the non-playoff teams will be drafting in the June draft.

Next up for the Golden State Warriors is the Atlanta Hawks. They are once again one of the worst teams in the league as far as record, but as of late they have been putting together some very solid outings against quality opponents, so this won’t be a cake walk for the Warriors, but I am hoping for one, because the Warriors have only won one game since the All-Star break.

Ugh, another loss to the Lakers

The Warriors played and ugly game tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers and the refs made it even uglier as the Warriors lost 94-106. This game saw Baron Davis return from his ankle injury, but that didn’t matter anyway. Jason Richardson played his heart out again, but the refs made touch foul calls against the Warriors allowing the Lakers and more specifically Kobe Bryant get to shoot free throws constantly. It was an ugly game and I will just leave it like that.

Next up for the Warriors on Sunday night is the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wolves are beaten like the Warriors this year and this is more a battle to see who gets a better pick in the draft then who will be in playoff contention at the end of the season.

Finally a win after the All-Star Break

Well the Warriors finally came away with a win again, snapping their 4 game losing streak. They beat the Orlando Magic 98-94. The Warriors were led by the gutsy play of Jason Richardson who was still noticeable hobbled by the ankle that he sprained two nights a go. He scored 25 points and 11 of those points came in the last 1:49 seconds of the game to seal the win for Golden State. Jason Richardson is just proving that he is a Warrior in every sense of the word and clearly he is the leader that this team needs to follow. Troy Murphy also chipped in with 20 rebounds and Derek Fisher had 10 assists.

Next up for the Golden State Warriors is the Los Angles Lakers. I would love to beat this team because there is no team in the league that I hate more then the Lakers and currently they are 3 games ahead of the Warriors in the standings and holding the 8th and final playoff spot. Let’s hope the Warriors destroy them.
