Warriors crush Utah - NBA notes - 04/09/2007

Very rarely do the Warriors headline the NBA day, especially this time of the year. But this season they are in playoff contention well in to April and they took a big step today as they beat Utah at home and the Clippers lost at Dallas. So now the two teams are tied though the Clips have played 2 games less. We knew the Clippers would probably lose at Dallas, but Utah at home was still a tough game for the W's. But the Warriors took them to the woodshed! Oakland is becoming a tough place to play for teams now. They are blowing people out at home. They beat Dallas and Phoenix easily and now now Utah. Stephen Jacko had 28-7-5 and Baron Davis had 19 and 8 dimes. Nelly has made this team an offensive monster. They are way off from being a real threat to the top teams, but the Warrior fan will gladly take a playoff appearance after 12 years. By the time the W's play their next game at Sacto on Friday, the Clip-joint would have played their extra 2 games and they can be tied, up 1 on down 1. Lets see what happens.

9/30 shots for Kobe today as the Lakers lost at Denver by 4. Melo had 33 to lead the Nuggets and hand the Lakers another loss. Camby had 22 boards in this one. Kobe's shot is deserting him now and the Lakers are behind Denver in the standings and just 2 games ahead of the 8-Th spot.

LA Lakers @ Denver - 111-115
LA Clippers @ Dallas - 86-96
Utah @ Golden State - 102-126

Interesting games on the board for Apr 10-Th (Tuesday)

LA Clippers @ NO/OK Hornets - Clippers are tied with the Warriors with 2 extra games to play. This is one of them and they better win this.

New Jersey @ Washington - 7 V 6 in the L-East. Nets should handle the depleted Wizards.
