Some more losing
I am going to update two games in this blog update, the game against the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers.
On Saturday the Warriors lost to the Denver Nuggets 92-95. The Warriors fell behind by 18 points in this game, rallied back to take the lead and still ended up losing in the end, to continue the losing streak. The Warriors were lead by Derek Fisher and Ike Diogu who scored 19 points. The games are just getting uglier as the season comes to an end. The Warriors are definitely looking forward to this season being over. The Warriors really need to be looking at the young guys primarily the rest of this season and see who they should be keeping and who they should be trading during the off-season. Jason Richardson missed this game as he injured his knee in the previous game.
Last night the Warriors lost to the Los Angeles Lakers, for the fourth time this season, by the score of 100-111. The Warriors have now lost 9 straight games. The Warriors were lead by Jason Richardson’s 20 points in his return from the one game injury break. Warriors weren’t in this game after the second quarter and a lot of that was also thanks to typical Laker game officiating. Lakers can’t do anything wrong and their opponents do everything wrong even when they do NOTHING wrong. This was clearly evident in a Jason Richardson drive to the basket (which he was fouled on) and it was called a jump ball, which the Lakers won and got a fast break dunk on. Laker games are hard to watch when you are a Warriors fan because as much as the league doesn’t want to admit it, the Lakers definitely get a kind whistle because of who they are and the Warriors don’t because of who they have been the past dozen years. The NBA definitely needs to look into cleaning up some of this officiating and “star calls” and start calling things according to their rulebook.
Next up for the Warriors tonight is the Dallas Mavericks, who the Warriors have had their number in Dallas, but it has been quite the other story here in Oakland as Dallas one the previous meeting 93-102. Dallas is still fighting for the best record in the Western Conference, so I expect them to Battle since they still have something to play for. The Warriors on the other hand seem to be playing for a better pick, so losing isn’t so bad for them anymore. Besides, with all the losing they have done this season, they are probably used to it.
