First I’d like to address the previous post in which I said that the Warriors needed to lose both games and the Clippers needed to win both of their games in order to gain the #8 spot in the West. That was incorrect, as the Clippers could gain the 8-spot if they win out and the Warriors lose one game out of the two. I apologize for the miscalculation and will promise to try better in the future. The complications surrounding the NBA tiebreaker system seem to have gotten the best of me tonight.

Anyway, the Warriors and Clippers were both victorious tonight, and the Warriors moved closer to the playoffs with a 111-82 drubbing of the Dallas Mavericks. Their record for the season remained perfect against the Mavs, something that Houston, Phoenix, and San Antonio cannot say. The Clippers also squeaked out a 103-99 victory over the Suns and still have a shot at the playoffs. If the Clippers win Wednesday against the Hornets and the Warriors fall to Portland, the Clippers will win the rights to face Dallas in the first round of the playoffs.

Although this is an uncertainty at this point, the Mavs might be paying attention to the scoreboards on Wednesday, as they have struggled against the Warriors all year. I’m sure they’ll have plenty of time to pay attention to every game and every cute fan in attendance as the starters rest on the bench Wednesday against Seattle.
Stay tuned for more playoff updates and predictions and, as always, Go Bulls.
