Golden State is beginning to pick up the playoffs

Difficult. Very difficult is starting to put things to Golden State Warriors to enter the final phase.

Dirk Nowitzki came back to Dallas to lead the Mavericks to victory, which was secured in the position 7 of the West, one game ahead of Nuggets and two Warriors. The lack of accuracy in the shooting was again the worst enemy of the Oakland (one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S.). It came to 40% accuracy of 2 and were 25% from three. Something extremely rare for a team lacking inside game.

In the Mavericks, Jason Kidd passing (17 assists) and Jason Terry scored (31 points, 28 for Josh Howard) in the Mavericks' first victory against a team with a positive brand since Jason Kidd is a Mav more.

Now, Golden State will win it or if their game against the Nuggets ... and the others, because Denver is on an incredible winning streak and as they take advantage of any bugs you have will run out of playoffs. Of all that is left, New Orleans and Phoenix are the two hardest nuts to crack bones. The rest, they should win.

Portland Trail Blazers are already mathematically eliminated from playoffs.

In the East, Atlanta Hawks at Toronto Raptors have won and it's almost certain that qualifies for playoffs. Even further loss as the above may be in a spot higher.
