Finishing the season strong... or the opposite

Well the Warriors lost another close one tonight to the Houston Rockets 93-100. The Warriors have now lost 7 games in a row. It appears that they are tanking the season for a better draft pick (not really, but it feels that way). The Warriors are in sole position of the 6th pick as it stands right now. Jason Richardson led the Warriors with 29 points tonight. The Warriors had a 6 point lead with about 2:30 minutes left, but they still found a way to lose. That has been their MO this season. I believe the Warriors have now lost 28 games that they were leading or tied with 5 minutes left in the game. This just proves that they can’t close out games yet. They are young and hopefully learning for next year.

Next up for the Warriors tomorrow night, is the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets are firmly situated in the playoffs as the third seed right now and so they will be a tough game for the Warriors. I still can’t root for the Warriors to lose and improve their chances of getting the #1 pick, but I am not as upset as I would become earlier in the season since there is n chance for the playoffs anymore.
