Warriors in the playoffs!

Hard to believe, but the Warriors beat Portland last night in the regular season finale to get the last playoff spot. It's their first time in the playoffs since 1994. To give you an idea of how long ago this was... I was still in high school when the Warriors were last in the playoffs.

The more impressive thing is the Warriors beat the Mavericks in all three of their meetings this season, which is something no other NBA team was able to do. I think a lot of that success has to be due to Don Nelson's coaching and previous experience as Mavericks head coach. I'm hopeful the Warriors can upset the Mavs in round one of the playoffs and clear the way for the Spurs to win the championship.
