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.

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.

Code: Select all

 6 Golden State     33  28
 7 LA Clippers      32  27
 8 Sacramento       32  28
 9 Minnesota        33  29
10 Dallas           32  30
11 Phoenix          28  32



next 10 games:

Code: Select all

Tue, Mar 4  @   New York        37-20   4:30 PM PST
Thu, Mar 6  @   Brooklyn        21-36   4:30 PM PST
Sat, Mar 8  vs  Detroit         32-26   5:30 PM PST
Mon, Mar 10 vs  Portland        25-33   7:00 PM PDT
Thu, Mar 13 vs  Sacramento      29-28   7:00 PM PDT
Sat, Mar 15 vs  New York        37-20   5:30 PM PDT
Mon, Mar 17 vs  Denver          38-21   7:00 PM PDT
Tue, Mar 18 vs  Milwaukee       33-25   7:00 PM PDT
Thu, Mar 20 vs  Toronto         19-42   7:00 PM PDT
Sat, Mar 22 @   Atlanta         28-33   4:00 PM PDT


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.

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

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
The hottest of takes...

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

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.
