Yep. It was hard to resist the temptation to rebuild the now depleted Blazers, but I really like what I have going here. Hoping to be one of the few dynasties to go for two whole seasons or more.

Warriors Report: February 22-February 28, 2010
February 28, 2010, 1:34 AM - Mediocrity continues to be the name of the game for the Warriors, who post yet another 2-2 week, capping a 7-6 month. We finish the second trimester hanging on to the eighth seed, after being leapfrogged by the red-hot Nuggets and Clippers. The month started out promisingly. Steve Nash had another exceptional game as the Warriors blew out the slumping Celtics 107-92. Anthony Randolph's beastly game against Chris Paul and the new-look Magic was not enough however, as they lost 104-97, thanks to Peja Stojakovic's season-high 30 points. The disappointment was followed up with a blowout loss in LA to the Lakers. Golden State stayed afloat with a ten-point win over the Nets to close the month.
Ricky Rubio has played very little as of late, due to the emergence of Nash and Anthony Morrow. He has been primarily utilized as a defensive stopper, and only averaged just under two points last week. Fellow Spaniard Rudy Fernandez went down with a strained Achilles in the Nets game that will keep him out two weeks, possibly opening up playing time for Rubio. Anthony Randolph finished the month on a roll, averaging 22.7 PPG and 12 RPG in his last three games. His three-game run as top-Nelliepoint earner gave him a comeback victory over Steve Nash for monthly winner. Unfortunately, the above-average Western Conference has caught up to us, with the Nuggets and Clippers hitting their strides, taking the sixth and seventh seeds respectively. We are still 1.5 games above Dallas for the eighth seed, but for how long?
It turns out that this month is 13 games after all. Sorry to all misled prediction game players. I forgot to write the Thunder game in the schedule. 7-6 and 6-6 record predictions will get full points for team record.![]()
Boston 92 @ Golden State 107
February 22, 2010 - The Celtics posted a losing record in the month of February, thanks to a 1-4 Pacific Division road trip that included a loss in Golden State. Paul Pierce was injured, Kevin Garnett was ineffective, and Steve Nash schooled young PG Rajon Rondo as the Warriors blew out the visitors 107-92. The game was fairly close at first, with the Warriors taking a narrow 25-21 first quarter advantage. However, a scoring explosion by Stephen Jackson helped Golden State cruise to a 61-44 half-time lead. The lead would prove insurmountable, as Boston would fail to make a run to get back in the game. The win gave the Warriors their thirtieth win, thus officially improving on last season, in which they went 29-53.Player Of The Game: Steve Nash (25 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds)

Orlando 104 @ Golden State 97
February 24, 2010 - The Warriors took out one division leader, but they wouldn't be so fortunate against the Magic. Despite a 57-48 halftime advantage, the Magic would make a large third quarter run, and hold off the home team in the final period to eke out the win. While the usual suspects (Chris Paul, Rashard Lewis and Dwight Howard were sensational as usual, it was Peja Stojakovic who stole the show. The man who New Orleans traded CP3 to get rid of had a huge night, putting up a season-high 30 points on very efficient shooting. He outshined Anthony Randolph who had 24 points and 15 rebounds, as well as Anthony Morrow, who had a team-high 26.
Note: Joel Przybilla made his return from injury in this game. He scored 6 points on 3-3 shooting, and also had 4 rebounds in 14 minutes.Player Of The Game: Peja Stojakovic (30 points, 6 rebounds, 11-16 FG, 5-8 3PT)

Golden State 97 @ Los Angeles Lakers 114
February 26, 2010 - The Warriors have no answer for Kobe Bryant. Their blowout at the hands of Bryant's Lakers made them regret the declining of Charlotte's offer of Raja Bell for Stephen Jackson somewhat. Despite Anthony Randolph's second straight 20-10 game, the Warriors couldn't stop the Lakers, who shot a phenomenal 61% from the field as a team. The game was a blowout from the start. Kobe scored 18 of his 43 in the first quarter, and Andrew Bynum contributed 22 points and 13 rebounds of his own. With the loss, the Warriors fell to eighth place, with the consequence being in position for a first-round playoff series with the Lakers. Uh-oh.Player Of The Game: Kobe Bryant (43 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists)

New Jersey 99 @ Golden State 109
February 27, 2010 - The Warriors beating the Nets at home wasn't a big surprise, but how they did it was. Abusing the Nets' soft frontcourt of Brook Lopez and Yi Jianlian, the Warriors had a 57-41 rebounding edge, helping them overcome a poor shooting night (41% to the Nets' 47%) to get the win. The Nets started the game out hot, jumping out to a 31-18 first quarter lead. Golden State tightened their Defense (again, wtf?), and shut down Nets leading scorer Vince Carter in the second quarter to close the game. That momentum transferred into the third quarter. Lopez retreated to the bench with foul trouble, and the Warriors jumped out to a fifteen point lead going into the final period. Chase Budinger had a career-high 12 points in garbage time as the Warriors capped the month with a 109-99 win, improving to 31-27.Player Of The Game: Anthony Randolph (23 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, 9-11 FG)

---Around The NBA---Brad Miller was waived by the Phoenix Suns on February 23, then signed to the veteran minimum by the San Antonio Spurs on the 25th. Miller, 34. averaged paltry averages of 5 points and 3 rebounds on a predominantly young Phoenix Suns team. He joins a contending team where the only competition at his position is Matt Bonner and Ian Mahinmi.
Andrew Bogut is expected to miss six weeks with bone spurs. The injury is a major hit the the Bucks, who are barely hanging on in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. The Center is averaging a career high 16.3 points per game, and also averages 9.1 rebounds. Veteran Kurt Thomas is expected to start in his place.
The 40-19 Lakers top NBA.com's Power Rankings at the end of the month. The new-and-improved Magic are placed second, the league-best Celtics are third, the 38-20 Blazers fourth and red-hot Denver Nuggets fifth. The Warriors are currently ranked 11th.
A six-game winning streak has the Denver Nuggets back in the spotlight, and the playoff picture. Undefeated since acquiring Rasheed Wallace from the Pistons, Denver has risen to sixth place in the competitive Western Conference, holding a 33-25 record. They are Charles Barkley's dark horse team to make a deep playoff run. Shouldn't he have more faith in his own team?
After playing just 11 minutes per game in the first half of the season, Brandon Jennings has become the Nets' starting point guard. In ten games as a starter, he has averaged 15 points and 6 assists in 34 minutes per game. The smallball lineup consists of Jennings at the 1, Devin Harris at the 2, Vince Carter at the 3, Yi Jianlian at the 4 and Brook Lopez at the 5. The Nets are 4-6 with this lineup, but had a point differential of +1.7 in those games.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have hit a rough patch, and have fallen out of the playoff picture, and below .500. The Blunder went 4-8 in February, and some pundits cite the Paul Millsap trade as the cause. However, the Thunder had a 6-8 January, and all-star Kevin Durant referred to the defeats as "growing pains".

A 7-6 month sees our Warriors keep their mediocre campaign on track. Back-to-back wins against the Kings would have made me sing a different tune, and we had a positive point differential for the month. Furthermore, the Knicks' defense (or lack thereof) has floundered to the point where we are no longer the worst defensive team in the NBA. Still, the missed opportunities against division rivals (we were 2-4 within our division for the month, but one of those wins was against the Suns) have put us in quite a difficult position. With the Kings, Nuggets and Clippers all hitting their stride, we are being left in the dust. The eighth seed looks to be our destiny. Then again, the last time we made the playoffs as an 8 seed, we didn't do too poorly...
In NBA News, the Clippers continue to turn around a season most thought lost just 2 months ago with a 9-1 February. LA's other team has looked very solid, and have an even more promising core than that of the 2005-06 team. The Sacramento Kings used an 11-2 month to put them in the Western Conference's upper echelon. In the (L)Eastern Conference, the Raptors, Heat and Sixers hold a three-way tie for the eighth seed and right to be the Celtics' first-round fodder. Then again, the Celtics' offense looked stagnant as they suffered a disappointing 5-7 month, and are only 14-13 in the year 2010... All things considered, the new-look Magic look like sure-fire favorites to win the East, and the title.
