We are the sixth seed!!! Playoffs here we come!!!

Only 4 games from the rockets. My dream bracket is alive

I would look back rather than look ahead. Dubs still closer to the 10th seed than the 5th.

Kyrie is most likely out for the rest of the season. The mavs are done. The suns quit a month ago. If we can stay healthy we aren’t going to be 10.

I rephrase your honour. Dubs still closer to the 9th seed than the 5th

Stop killing my dream!! Haha

Warriors and Kings win, Mavs lose. GS moves to 6th seed. 6 through 10 all within a 1.5 games of each other. It's a food fight.

You can make a case that 7 of those 10 are tough games. If GS is still the 6th seed on March 19 it will be a great success.

Clippers should have 28 losses in your list, losing to the Lakers on Sunday. Suns sre at 33 losses.

[Twinkie defense]

Six games out of second! With 21 to go.

[EvanZ]

Let's just HOLD onto 6th like Mel Gibson in Braveheart.

[marthafokker]

Mavs out! Can at least be in the play in at worst case. But let's make sure to stay at 6th!

He got rigged! Bet the refs are in on the Dubbs too!

well rockets and clippers all lost tonight...good for us...Lakers are unstoppable on the other hand

I think we matchup great with the Lakers. Their best lineup doesn't use a center and that suits us fine.

Steph/Vando or DFS
Podz/Reaves
Butler/Luka
Kuminga/Lebron
Draymond/Hachimura

You are asking the impossible from Kuminga. I keep reading all of these posts about how the Warriors will be so much better when Kuminga returns. Kuminga has poor court vision and dreadful decision-making. LeBron and the Lakers would eat him alive.

We have a real shot to get the 4 seed. Ja and jjj are out for Memphis and the rockets have been free falling. Would be great if we got 4, rockets 5 and Memphis 6

only risk is Minny's upcoming schedule is marshmallow soft

though ours isn't much tougher i guess

We have the tie breaker against minny so whatever

Best case scenario for Warriors is 4 or 5 seed with lakers / Denver taking 2 and 3 seed. I think we match up the worst against Denver because of their size and OKC is very beatable as they’re still inexperienced in the playoffs.
