The Warriors crazy train to fantasyland went a little off the rails last night as they dropped a heartbreaker to the Phoenix Suns, 113-110, snapping their seven-game home winning streak and five-game overall streak. It would have been nice to get the win last night, but the team is playing well and looking strong. They haven't looked this good since, uh, last November.
Beneath the rosy glow of third place in the Pacific Division though roils a restless roster.
Baron Davis suited up last night against the Suns, unfortunately, literally. The Diddy sat out last night's game in street clothes because of a strained rib cage, an injury he sustained in Saturday's win over Seattle. It was his first trip to the sick bay this year and his first trip to the pine in a while. Despite his career proclivity to injury, for some reason, coach Don Nelson has been playing Davis serious minutes. Like 35.8 minutes per game minutes, by far the most on the team. And now the Baron is hurt. Why Nellie? What is the point of huge minutes in November?
Armani or not, sitting on the bench in street clothes is not Baron's best look for the Warriors. Photo from NBA.com.
