5th Seed Watch (was 6th Seed Watch)

[statsman]

As expected, no help whatsoever.

The PHX @ LAL free throw discrepancy could be off the charts. The NBLA needs to stop the Laker free fall.

The FT difference was 32 for LA and 21 for PHX. And, not surpringly, LA won by 11.

[KevinMcreynolds]

Everyone wins again

[cpower]

I think we will need 50 W to secure the 6th for good. 11-4 would do.

Curry also questionable (Right Low Back; Strain) and Post (Ankle)
I expect both Jokic and Curry to play.

Haliburton and Siakam out tonight vs the TWolves. 7th seed here we come!

[whatisacenter]

I blame the loss tonight to the Nuggets to changing this tread from 6th seed to 5th seed.

[floppymoose]

I still think 6th seed is best case. But i think you have to look up to number 5 seed to really track it now, as 5th has come back to be closer to 6th.

If Podz back it'll be much easier to allow Curry to sit, he may be somewhat tired, but the back is the real issue, let him rest possibly multiple games to address both issues.

They have Mil today, Tor on Thu, @Atl on Sat and @Miami on Tue (with two days off after Mia). I would definitely sit him today and Thu. Possibly also on Saturday and, if Miami hasn't recovered, I'd sit him there as well. I'd be fine going 2-2 in those 4 games while giving him a 10 day break before the final 10 or so games.

8th seed watch ...

[floppymoose]

Cleveland @ Clippers today.

[floppymoose]

8th seed watch ...

Yeah it's looking like I can trim 9/10/11 off of the thread. Those teams don't really seem in reach anymore. Warriors might have to lose out to get down there.

[cpower]

Clips looking good. Wolves looking good...

i think it will come down to us vs memphis. 50W might not be enough.

[Onus]

Just want the 6 for the rest.

[superunknown]

clippers are not going away. at least until kawhi doesn't become unavailable again....

[Sandy333]

Clippers without kwahi were good enough to start the end of our strong start this year. All team with good coaches have our number.

sure, but an available leonard give them that starpower they lacked before. everyone is sleeping on them rn, but if leonard is able to play like last night they can be really dangerous for every team in the western conference.

[Sandy333]

Yes. They handily beat the cavs today. They are the favorites till Leonard is fit. Gsw need to avoid them in first round. They know how to beat gsw.
