Barron Davis Is A True Warrior
Going out of the game in the second quarter with a hamstring strain, Barron Davis overcame the injury to still come out, and out play the Dallas Mavericks in the second half.
Stephen Jackson hit 7 of 8 three pointer shots and had a career playoff-high of 33 points.
Everyone of the Warriors players contributed in a final scoring, 111 to 86 win over the Dallas Mavericks.
The first time a number 8 seeded team knocked off a number 1 seeded team in a best of seven game series.
Simply amazing!

| The Ball Sure Bounces |
Basketball Playoffs Are Exciting
Even if you know very little about the technical aspects of the game of basketball, (and I am placed in that group) the Warriors (#8 seeded) vs Mavericks (#1 seeded) have brought an excitement to the Bay Area that has not been seen for some time. Just when you think the Mavericks have finally figured out a way to have the Warriors play the slow paced Maverick style game and a way to win, the Warriors found a way to beat them at their own game.
Baron Davis had some of the most fantastic basketball shots that will ever be remembered. With the Warriors looking to go in at halftime down by three, Baron Davis shot a mid-court shot that bounced in off the backboard with no time remaining, to tie the score. Simply amazing...
Then when it looked like the Mavericks would take off in the third quarter, the Warriors clawed their way back, and in the last of the fourth quarter turned the tied, to come out on top. Simply amazing again...
This is more than a head scratcher for the Mavericks. This might have put the lid on the coffin. Can the Mavericks come back? You bet. That's why the Warriors coach Don Nelson speaks in tones of respect for the Mavericks. But, it would take the Mavericks to win three games in a row, to advance. Yep, the lid might be placed on top of the coffin, but it is not quite nailed shut.

| Warriors Bring It On |
Game Three Goes To The Golden State Warriors
Seven game series gets serious for the Dallas Maverics. Dallas fans, coach Avery Johnson, and the Dallas Maverics players all seem to be scratching their heads on this first round series. Like any game, basketball involves strategies at all levels of play. Some teams just seem to match up in certain ways that defies the odds. The match-ups between the Warriors and the Mavs seem to be in favor of the Warriors at the moment. While the series is not close to being over, the Warriors have definitely made an impression on just about everyone.
It should be interesting, at least for the next two games.

The Warriors Basketball Team Is Playoff Bound
Isn't it interesting the way the sports world seems to really have a way of reflecting of what goes on in life and business? The Golden State Warriors were not even close to making the playoffs just a month ago, and now they are one of the best performing teams in the NBA in the last month of the season.
It doesn't matter how many times you fail. It doesn't matter how many times you almost get it right. No one is going to know or care about your failures, and neither should you. All you have to do is learn from them and those around you because... All that matters in business is that you get it right once. Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.
