Warriors Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Wed, 14 May 2008 01:06:58 PDT

Another year, another distinction. This time, it's one they'd rather not hold.

One season after being the first 8-seed to upset a No. 1 since the NBA went to a best-of-seven first-round format, the Warriors became the first team to win 48 games in the regular season and get shut out of the expanded postseason format.

Six more wins, one fewer playoff berth. You figure it out.

It's called being in the Western Conference. Had the Warriors been in the East—a conference against which they went 20-10—they'd have finished ahead of Cleveland and been a 4-seed.

The Warriors won the season series over the defending-champion Spurs. They split games against Boston, the team with the best record in the league.
