During that last long road swing the Golden State Warriors were on a very intertwined road trip they had some 13 games in the course of a few weeks, the Warriors were in multiple time zones. They had eight road games in 13 games, eight different cities it was a crazy schedule. February to March is kind of a dead zone in the NBA like the dog days when players really start getting tired. It’s a little worse for the Warriors their on the west coast they travel the most miles of any team in the league.

They clinched their playoff spot in February what are they playing for? That’s not to say there’s things they don’t want to achieve, they want to get that number one seed. They want to clear 60 wins they want clear even 70 if it’s possible it’s not likely at this stage but their going to try. They were burned out during that 13 game span and they need a little bit of motivation and they lost Durant and it absolutely hurt them a little bit.
