After two horrible 20 point defeats, it seems that the Golden State Warriors aren't believing anymore and so are the "fans." What happened to all those believers? Pessimism has always been a Warrior Fan delicacy , but never pushing the Dubz when they're already down is.
In tonight's game , Al Harrington only had 6 point as Stephen Jackson only had a meager 2. What is happening to this team? Sure, Dallas had reigning MVP Dirk Nowitzki return with 18 points and 5 rebounds, but they were still 0-10 before teams over .500 before the game.
This game was really no different than the Sunday match-up, with Josh Howard and Jason Kidd dominating. The only other exception was the Jason Terry had 31 points who had been in a small shooting slump versus the Warriors' last Sunday. If only Jax and Al were alive, then this Dallas team would not have been such a problem. Whenever Stephen Jackson would not get a call, he would try to create something out of nothing in the next possession which would almost always result in a Warriors turnover. If Al Harrington begins a game with 2 fouls in less time than it takes to say Tom Gugliotta then you know it's not good.
On the bench play, Kelenna Azubuike is our bench with 10 points and 3 blocks. Austin Croshere needs to stop taking Al Harrington's minutes. Croshere did nothing in the beginning of the second half when the MAVS started expanding their lead.
If only the Golden State Warriors were playing with a 'sense of urgency' as they had when they made the 16 - 5 run towards the end of last season. Each person on the squad say they are in the mode to make a run for these playoffs , but so far it's not looking too good. On the bright side, the Golden State Warriors are back in the role where they are most comfortable: the Underdogs. This season, teams know to give the Dubz their best when they play against us, but the Dubz know that they're still considered unworthy of being a true NBA contender. Hopefully, the Dubz will relish the UNDERDOG role and take everyone by surprise and once again, sneak into the playoffs.
