The Streak continues... 6 Losses in a row
The losses are adding up and I have fallen behind on updating them. Mostly the reason is that these past three games were all losses and also not televised, so the analysis will be short.
First off the Warriors lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves by the score of 104-106 in Overtime. This seemed to be a typical Warrior performance, where they played well toward the end, but just not to the buzzer. The Warriors were lead again by Jason Richardson who finally had a 20+ point game again in scoring 33, and Derek Fisher added 22. Troy Murphy, Monta Ellis and Mickael Pietrus also scored in double figures, but it wasn’t enough for the win. Jason Richardson missed a three pointer at the buzzer which would have won the game.
Next up for the Warriors were the Memphis Grizzlies. Now this was a train wreck of a game. The Warriors lost 75-100. It can mostly be attributed to the second quarter. The Warriors were outscored 9-29 in that quarter. So towards the end of the game a lot more of the subs were getting some run. The Warriors were lead by Derek Fisher’s 17 points. Troy Murphy chipped in 13 and Ike Diogu scored 10. Jason Richardson was held to only 9 points, it has been a long time since he has scored under double figures.
Tonight the Warriors lost to the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets 109-114 in Overtime. The Warriors were beat by the point guard tandem of former Warriors Speedy Claxton (21 points and 7 assists) and soon to be voted Rookie of the Year Chris Paul (17 points, 16 assists, 11 rebounds and 6 steals , second triple double of his career). The Warriors were once again lead by Jason Richardson (24 points and 8 assists) and Derek Fisher (22 points). The Hornets had a chance to win this game at the end of regulation, but their shot at the end of the game just rolled off the rim, but they still won the game in Overtime.
Next up for the Warriors are the Houston Rockets on Friday night at 7:30 pm. This is the return for the Warriors from their road trip which was an unsuccessful 0-3. The Warriors have fallen to second to last in the Western Conference, only ahead of the lowly Portland Trailblazers. They are currently the tied for the sixth worst record in the league with the Orlando Magic, who are surging right now. So potentially the Warriors are looking at the sixth pick in this years draft unless they start winning some games and move to a worse pick. The teams below them have a much worse record and shouldn’t be passing them up unless they win all the rest of their games and the Warriors lose all theirs. The Warriors have 8 games left and out of those games I can only see them winning 2 games with how they are playing. Both of those games are against the Trailblazers. Here is a little Picture to surmise how I feel about this team this season.
