Tied!!!

Well this post is about the weekend and what the Warriors have been up to. The had two games over the weekend. One on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets and one today against the Dallas Mavericks. Well before the weekend started the Warriors were in the eighth and final playoff spot, but a lot can change over two days at this point in the season and now they are tied for the seventh playoff spot with the two teams they played over the weekend. The Warriors were playing for survival all weekend. When they played Denver, they lost more then just the game. They lost their place in the playoff race, but that was a short-lived fate. Yes it was not fun to see my team lose their playoff spot to the team that was behind them just a game ago, but the weekend wasn't over and when they played Dallas the team was back. Even though they started slow they came back with rejuvenation and looked like they had rested for days. The Warriors beat Dallas and made the Western Conference even more competitive because after this game all three teams are tied with the same record for the same playoff positions. With only nine games left in the season it is going to come down to the last game. The playoff race has never been so competitive, but it only adds to the excitement of the NBA and hopefully the Warriors will come out on top! The upcoming road trip the Warriors are face with starts with powerhouse San Antonio, Dallas again, Memphis, and ends with New Orleans. All games are winnable, but will have to be well deserved. If the team can pull off the road trip with four wins it will be a big accomplishment for them and will set themselves apart from the other two teams they are tied with (Dallas and Denver). So until next time with updates of the road trip I leave you with anticipation of the upcoming games. Go Warriors!

I really hope they can pull off a win to start their road trip. It would give them the extra boost they need to finish strong. The only issue is the fact that they're playing the Spurs in San Antonio which is currently on a seven game winning streak. It will be a tough victory anyway you look at it. This is truly pivital game, one that I think they need to win. All of their up coming games aside from memphis are going to be extremely difficult. At this point they need any and every win they can get.
