It's too bad the Kings are playing the Blazers because both a Laker loss and Sac loss would shoot the Warriors up to 8th (with W's win, of course.)


freethrotakers are destroying the pels at the moment, something we should've done 2 days ago to secure that 8th spot. but evidently was too much to accomplish for this team this season.
dubs deserve to close 10th. too many sh** games and too many opportunities thrown away in an idiotic fashion.

Looks like its warriors vs kings in the kiddie bracket. At least GSW might not face LAL at all and sneak into playoffs.

sneak where? they avoid LA means they will likely have to beat NO (if they past SAC) something they could not do few days ago with the season on the line. this team have been too inconsistent so far to justify any ambition.

We need the Lakers and refs to beat the Suns in the 7 vs 8 game so that we do not have to play against the refs.

OKC's depth curbstomped DAL's depth even after the starters sat

OKC is easily the best bet out there at +1400 for a title, though if I was going for a homerun swing I'd be moderately interested in CLE +4000 or IND +12000. Both have some heavy upside on their rosters

Well if we make it into the playoffs I guess we’ll see okc.

Not the worst. Far preferable to Denver. Good team but inexperienced.

People keep saying this but metrics are clear.. a balanced team and teams with better guard play are bigger risks to the warriors

Not that it matters this year, but I'm just confused why I'm seeing it so often. OKC has a better offense and defense

I think it comes from the way we played okc this season? 3 of the 4 game down to last second shots and/or overtime. 2 or the 3 losses we had a 3 pt lead with under 5 seconds left. Denver, with Murray looks like the far tougher matchup. The metrics seem to disagree but do you ?
