Mavericks vs. Warriors

Well, I am wrong on Sosa going homerless today. Oops. I almost said Wilkerson would do the same. Boy, would I have looked silly.

I've posted some things on one of my other blogs about this Mavs/Warriors series... It's on my "Punko and Bruno" blog, which I am thinking of renaming (won't say just yet). The Mavs in Oakland. First off, the Mavs are 31-10 on the road vs. the Warriors 30-11 at home (evenly matched). Now, what's amazing is the stat of how the Warriors having the best record over the last "x" amount of games left in the regular season to make the playoffs... the broadcasters on television thinking that they were so smart to point that one out. Now, for me to point out that the Mavs weren't playing everybody during every game. They rested starters and when they played starters, Avery didn't keep them in that long to make a COMPLETE impact, the impact they would normally make in a game.

Don Nelson's lack of a bench is going to really kill him, and a penalty to Jackson would simply take away the golden chance the Warriors have right now. In all aspects of the "numbers" game, the Warriors have home-court. They will loose home-court... tonight? I don't think so. Golden State is going to retake the momentum for one last time, and then it will be all Mavs the rest of the series.

Forecast: Storm clouds with high-pressure in Oakland, swirling winds and confusion as Don Nelson and the Warriors throw one last bit of confusion on the Mavs. Score 107-101.
