Best Daily Dime ever

I'm so jazzed up after reading the interview with Baron, I can't resist posting a chunk of it here for those who don't feel like clicking (apologies to the powers that be if it's too big of a chunk):

ESPN: Are we finally going to see the Warriors in the playoffs?

Baron: Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. We're feeling good. The spirit of the team is on a high level. The [remaining] schedule, it's a hard schedule, but it's going to be fun. If we just continue playing the way we've been playing, I think we're going to be there.

ESPN: You said earlier in the season that the Warriors were fooling themselves to even think about the playoffs until they started winning more road games. Your team still isn't winning on the road, so how are you still in the hunt for the No. 8 spot?

Baron: I'm very surprised [Golden State's road struggles] haven't hurt us more. But recently, I think we've been playing better on the road now that we've finally got our whole team healthy.

ESPN: What have Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson brought to the team?

Baron: An attitude and a passion for the game. They also bring camaraderie. Guys are hanging out together, we're doing a lot of team stuff. We weren't doing that before.

ESPN: The Warriors have four straight wins over the Dallas Mavericks. Do you really think you have their number and can give them a series?

Baron: Yes. It's been a good matchup for us. We've got a lot of athletic guys at 6-6 and 6-7 to throw at them. Plus having Coach Nelson, he's coached a lot of those Dallas players. So that's the X-factor.
