Well, for dochira......I think it is. He's rooting for the Warriors, right? :sweat:

Yes, I am. While some think it's shocking that they are regressing, I have seen it for the last 13 years, give or take.

as announcers have said during games, they shoot way too many 3's (low percentage shots), and do not have a post up player(which is way too obvious). Plus they turn the ball over and don't know how to close out games....personally, i think they need to make some serious trades, try to keep J Rich, and B Davis, and build around them. I would like them to win more, but at this rate, it is Lottery bound again, cause they are losing like crazy now......they need some help! maybe, i just don't have much confidence in the Cali NBA teams... :beaten: :shakehead:

I just noticed that the Warriors and the Clippers have a 2 game losing streak while the Lakers have a 2 game.......winning streak. There is always someone who will emerge among the 3. I wonder when will these 3 teams emerge.......together :sweat: .

of the three, i think the Warriors will be worse off...the way they are playing ball thesedays....haven't seen any consistancy like earlier in the season..what the heck happened to them..they went from bad to worse... :shakehead: :beaten:

Yeah, I think the nucleaus of Antawn Jamison, Gilbert Arenas and J-Rich to go along with Erick Dampier back in 2003 was better than their current roster. They should have waited for Arenas to improve. Look at what this guy is doing with the Wizards nowadays.

^ Personally, I think this roster is one of their better teams. They all are capable of having big games. They just need to have more than one have theirs at the same time. Yesterday it was Richardson, but no one else showed up.

when they had RUN TMC, and Marcioulonius, they were a tough team...they had some others coming off the bench, the last time they made the playoffs...but always always lacked a big interior prescence. Now, they are lacking in many areas....still exciting to watch, but i'd be surprised if they squeaked in the playoffs at this point.

Lakers getting crunched by the Spurs, 87-69, in the 4th.

now, they can join the Clips and Warriors on the downward skid, maybe one of them will turn it around and start winning some...

Looks like things aren't going our way in NBA lately :sweat: . New Jersey Nets also got beaten badly by the Sacramento Kings 84-109 :shakehead: .

That would be the Clippers. They defeated the leader in the west, the San Antonio Spurs 98-85 :) .

The Nets and the Warriors still haven't figure out how to win games, getting beaten up by low ranking teams :sweat: .

There is now hope for the Clips, as they are in the race for the playoffs, they need to continue to win, and ride the shoulders of their all-star Elton, the Lakers however, i am not too sure if they can make it it.
The Warriors will probably NOT get in, they need to start making some changes because they are struggling, maybe a coaching change, again...? :headscratch: , I am not sure for the Net's, they were winning for awhile, is Carter out with an injury? :headscratch:

Warriors lose...to the Hawks. :bleh: :shakehead: Ehh??

"D", i'm telling ya, they are not going to make it....NOT at all. :shakehead:

Nah, he's quite healthy. The trade between Marc Jackson and Bostjan Nachbar must be the cause of all these losses. I think Jackson was a big help on the inside with good numbers on rebounds, blocks, and could even score at least 10-12 points every game. Trading this guy is the biggest mistake that the Nets made this season, and now they are paying for what they did :shakehead: .

Don't be despaired about this. The Hawks have always surprised me this season by defeating teams like the Spurs, Mavericks, Lakers, Nets, and even the Pistons, despite their ranking in the standings :sweat: .

Lakers win in New Orleans.

Ho hum.
