How, oh how, will they ever console themselves?Whats goodWell, for one, adding Kevin Durant to a roster fans already voted the sixth-best in sports (second-best in the NBA, behind the Spurs) is a pretty decent salve, as is boasting the most nationally televised games of any team, with 28. In general, it helps to be the center of the NBA universe, ridiculously hyped and obsessed over, claiming a roster as talented as perhaps any weve ever seen and a coach who has led his team to two straight Finals appearances (Steve Kerr comes in at 13th overall). That isnt a bad starting point for success in the Ultimate Standings.Whats badOf course, that begs the question: Why did the Warriors fall 17 spots? Beyond lacking stout rim protection, affordability is an issue (No. 105 overall). The lack of affordability is understandable, considering the cost of living in the Bay Area. Even humble Oakland, where Golden State plays, has leapt ahead of New York City in median housing sales cost, so the fourth-most expensive ticket in the NBA (behind the Knicks, Lakers and Bulls) is understandable. Even if the Warriors were to keep their prices low, many of those tickets would be sold for a fortune on the secondary market.Whats newThere are worse problems to have than trying to stay affordable when youre in demand, even when that leads to a seven-spot drop in bang for the buck (to 30th overall). (The Warriors suffered a litany of those worse problems before this recent run of success.) Of course, fans dont mind paying a bit more for a win when their team sets a record with 73 of them in a season, so even with a 20-point drop in fan relations and an average stadium experience, the Warriors will compensate with their on-court product. Its difficult to be disappointed by a fast break showcasing Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.Next: Indiana Pacers?| Full rankings Air Vapormax Flyknit Pas Cher . -- The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizonas fans lingered on the field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after rushing out of the stands.

The right-hander had been 0-2 with a 7.36 ERA in his last five outings and hadnt gone more than five innings in any of his previous four starts.Step in the right direction, Koehler said. Were playing great baseball and Im happy Im able to contribute. I was trying to get back to what makes me who I am. I needed to pitch better than I have been and I did that tonight.Christian Yelich homered for the Marlins, who won three of four over the Phillies to cap a seven-game road trip 5-2.

The opposite-field shot gave Howard 14 for the season and 371 for his career, moving him out of a tie with Gil Hodges for 77th all-time.The Marlins got those runs back in the top of the fifth. Singles by Martin Prado and Yelich to start the frame put runners on first and third. Prado scored on Eickhoffs wild pitch and Yelich reached when shortstop Freddy Galvis threw the ball away trying to get Yelich out at third on Derek Dietrichs infield single.ddddddddddddEickhoff had one of his worst outings of the season, matching season-worsts for innings pitch and hits allowed. He gave up six runs -- five earned -- on nine hits in five innings with six strikeouts and no walks.The funny thing is I thought I executed a lot of good pitches, Eickhoff said. Theres a couple times I got behind and had to make a pitch over the plate a little more and that kind of hurt me. They did some good damage to those pitches.Miami added three runs on five hits in the eighth off Daniel Stumpf. Marcell Ozuna had a two-run single and Koehler recorded his second RBI of the season with a single.
