im pissed off cuz i was supposed to go to this game.
Damn, great game! Baron is the motha fuckin’ man, and simply makes everybody better! And how about that up and under the basket move by Monta with the reverse English, and that volleyball from J-Rich to Dre! Damn, those were great.
Also, anyone catch Mark Cuban trying to rally his troops towards the end of the 3rd when they were really getting their teeth kicked in? That was classic.

As good as Baron was.. we were +19 at one point when he was sitting on the bench. But having him available and coming in with the second unit is pretty to see. Its good to seem MP had a great game, but dont expect that often. WOW, we did just put the smack down though, and the DEFENSE...
We just made a lot of cuts tonight which lead to a lot of interior points. WE OWN DALLAS... too bad we play them only one more time this year...
That was quite easily the most hyped the crowd has been all season. Even more so than the loss to Cleveland. It felt like a playoff game.
If they keep playing like this I might actually know what it means when I say "it felt like a playoff game."

That was one heck of a performance last night. The Warriors were firing on all cylinders last night. It was a collective team effort and it just goes to show what this team is capable of on a given night.
What was most impressive to me was not the fact that the Warriors shot so well, but how well they defended and contested shots from the Mavericks. It was a rare occasion for a Maverick player to get off an uncontested shot last night and that is something I was happy to see from a team that has played little to no defense this season.
The players seemed to play with unbelievable energy on both ends of the floor and there was a determination in this team. Midway through the third quarter I was certain the Warriors would NOT blow this lead and were going to win.
Now, going forward, this win will mean nothing if the Warriors cannot win against the Timberwolves on Friday and the Sonics on Saturday on the road. The Warriors just proved they can play and beat the best team in the league and beat them handily at that. However, if they want to make a run at this final playoff spot,they must play consistently well and they must win some games on the road.
The Minnesota and Seattle games are very winnable. If the Warriors come out with the same energy and intensity as we saw last night from them they can win both of these games and stand an above average chance of making the playoffs.
