We need a Win!

Hello everybody and Happy Easter first and for most! It has been a while since the last time I have posted on the blog, but don't blame me, I have been on spring break and I have not had much time. Any way the Warriors on the other hand have also been very busy. Their schedule has been very full and I can only imagine how hard it must be on all the players' bodies, but they have been dealing with the journey with heart and outstanding effort. The Warriors are playing tonight against the Lakers and it is an absolute must win for the team for their playoff chances to stay alive. Before tonight the Warriors have lost against the Houston Rockets and the Sacramento Kings. The team is barely hanging onto the eighth playoff spot with the Denver Nuggets creeping up very closely. In the last three games the Warriors have lost two and only one one, but have still kept the eighth spot. Over the week the first place team in the Western Conference has changed multiple times due to the fact that all the teams in the West are so good. Only four games separate the eighth seed to the first seed. You never know, maybe by the end of the season the Warriors will end up on top. Not likely, but with the standings so close anything is really possible. Now today on Easter the Warriors play the first seeded Los Angeles Lakers and at halftime are winning by twenty three points. Can you say, "WOW!!" What a half, the Warriors have scored seventy two points in the first half which is amazing in the NBA. If they can keep this up and hold on to the lead and come out of the game with a win it will send a message to the whole leagues showing they can compete with anybody. The thing about the Warriors is the amount of players they have that can score at will. Their main stars Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, and Monta Ellis are the big three that provide the spark and the most offense, but if they are having an off night then they have players behind them that are capable of picking them up to provide a win. This is essential for them because it creates a team that can be dangerous against any team. This should allow them to prevail and make the playoffs. The true fans of the Warriors will greatly appreciate second straight playoff appearance and hopefully they can advance to a round further then they did last year. But first the team needs a win tonight against the Lakers!
