The Warriors have 9 games to either make the playoffs or go back to their familiar spot in Secaucus.  After beating Phoenix, the Warriors pulled to within 1 game of the Los Angeles Clippers.  To pass the Clippers and make the playoffs, the Warriors have to go at the least 6-3 in my opinion. 

Let’s take a look at their remaining games. 

4/1-Vs Memphis Warriors should thrash the Grizzlies considering Mike Miller is out and Memphis needs to tank to get the top pick.  Expect Boom Dizzle to come out and set the tone with the rest of the squad runnin through the Grizzlies. Warriors Win 115-101 

4/4-At Houston Barring T-Mac not playing or Yao being in foul trouble, expect the Rockets to win.  Rockets love to bring the game to a halt and playing at home will enable them to control the tempo. Warriors best chance at a Win would be to go small and fire away. Warriors Lose 100-92 

4/6-At Memphis Must win game!! With the Spurs waiting for the Warriors the next day, EXPECT Boom Dizzle to load heavy minutes and Nelson limiting the rotation to make sure they get the win.   Warriors Win 108-105 

4/7-At San Antonio Spurs win although it won’t be as lopsided as it was this past week at Oracle.  If the refs don't let Mr.Longoria carry the ball and travel on every drive, the Warriors might pose a threat.Warriors Lose 103-91 

4/9-Vs Utah Boys come home to take on the Jazz and run them right off the court.  Last time Utah played at Oracle, they left dazed and confused.  Zone up again and let AK47 fire away his rusty bullets from outside.  Warriors Win 106-97 

4/13-At Sacramento Warriors were embarrassed the last time they played at Arco, PAYBACK IS A BITCH.  The new look Warriors will be too much for the Kings since they won’t be able to have their point guards guard our small forwards without any punishment.  Sjax on Bibby = a career high for Sjax. Warriors Win 107-99 

4/15-Vs Minnesota Sunday Matinee results in the Warriors running wild and leaving a positive impression in Kg's mind.  Kg tired of his wack teammates and pathetic front office will fantasize about joining the W's. Warriors Win 112-93 

4/17-Vs Dallas Normally a game this late in the season means nothing for the best team in the NBA; However, Dallas wants to come in and send a message to the Warriors to not forget who the boss is.  Toughest home game remaining on the schedule and Mavericks pull it out.Warriors Lose 105-103 

4/18-At Portland I see this game being a "Win and Your in Game" for the Warriors.  Pressure will be on the Warriors to win against a young and talented Portland team.  In the end, Warriors win on a game winning 3 by Jason Richardson. Warriors Win 100-99 

If the Warriors go 6-3 or better than I believe they will get into the playoffs and pose a legit threat to the Dallas Mavericks.
