Brad Weinstein of the San Francisco Chronicle reports: Despite being three games behind the Houston Rockets for the Western conference's 8th and final playoff spot, the Golden State Warriors still believe they can make the playoffs.

Today, the Warriors begin a road trip in which they will play at Cleveland, Boston, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Portland.

While, it will be a tough trip, Gilbert Arenas thinks the Warriors can end their 8-year playoff drought.

"We can do it," Arenas said. "We have a run in us. We've been right there on the road, so we just have to do a better job of closing out games. It's getting down to the wire and I know we want it."
