Two in a Row

Contrast: Da Bulls & Warriors

Da Bulls win over Memphis was convincing. The team stayed ahead in the 4th quarter and did not panic. They play again tomorrow. Their opponent, Milwaukee, has won only 2 more games than Da Bulls. In back-to-back games Da Bulls usually do poorly and they also do poorly games after they win - overconfident or inattentive - you can name a number of reasons.

If Da Bulls can win two in a row, this team will have turned an emotional corner. They'll start thinking of themselves as a NBA team that can win and I hope they'll play better and more consistent.

Golden State Warriors won over Dallas the night after Da Bulls gave the game to Dallas. The next game, Golden State lost to the worst team in the West, New Orleans. They also allowed a former Gonzaga PG have a career day.
Warriors can't keep win streak going in New Orleans. They lose to the worst team in the NBA
Dickau scored a career-best 23 points -- including a four-point play on a 32-foot buzzer beater as he was fouled -- and the Hornets (2-19) snapped an 11-game skid and won their first home game of the season, 98-89 over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.
"You can't take anything for granted in this league, that's for doggone sure," Warriors coach Mike Montgomery said.
