GAME #82: LAC (49-32) @ GSW (48-33)—SUN 4/13 12:30 PM, ESPN

[esqtvd]

Last day of the regular season: Every NBA game starts at 12:30 PM to level the playing field:

—Clips have clinched at least the play-in [7th].
—Win and we're 4th or 5th.
—If DEN loses to HOU [who have nothing to play for], we clinch the 4th seed even if we lose.
—If we lose and DEN and MIN win [likely] we drop all the way down to the play-in.

Wild ending in the West, should be fun

No Batum really sucks. But we need him more for the playoffs. Let’s hope that’s enough time for rest/rehab.

Let's get it.

Need Batum fully healed for the playoffs.

[Ballings7]

Batum will be missed in this game .. Robert Horry of the team for big games on both ends

But that said, think this is a winnable game. GS are gonna be all-in though, so will be tough.

Won't be surprised with a loss.. just no blow out please.

Would luv to see a guy like Kris Dunn, Simmons, or DJJ have a big impact.

Clips by 5.

Really curious about this one. Some things to consider:

Top 6 = Rest. The 7-8 Play In Game is Tuesday. The first game for 4/5 seeds is Saturday. Huge difference in time off and travel, even if we won the 6-7 game. Lose that, and it's another game on Thursday. More wear and tear.
#4 Seed = Mo Better Rest. 4 seed has home court. We'd come home on Monday and wouldn't have to travel for over a week. It's a big deal now; it'll be a bigger deal when players start to wear down if they make later playoffs series.

So, it's a big deal IMO--not just for avoiding the play-in, but for useful reasons for a team loaded with vets. I'm kinda thinking this is basically a playoff game. Interested in seeing how we think about it and answer the bell.

I think this game the edge goes to Warriors as far as reffing.

[KL2]

Promising start then Kerr called a TO and Clippers fell apart.

Powell an Zu struggling.

Thank goodness for Leonard and Harden.

Missed fts.

Need DJJ to provide something.

Lue’s obsession with Coffey is unreal.

Bogi struggling at the wrong time.

Only the first quarter and might have to turn it off.

Get Coffey the FOOH.

Harden with dumb turnovers.

Leonard the only one with a brain.

Warriors 16-3 run to end the quarter.

[HardenGoat]

Zu getting pushed trying to get rebounds.

[KL2]

Losing the Curry minutes with stupidity.

[LamarWho]

I was about to call the cops the way Butler was abusing Bogi.

[KL2]

Yeah. I’m out. This team isn’t serious.

[Scoundreldays]

Smart plays lets just keep charging into everyone and pass out into a turnover

[KL2]

Get Powell off the floor. Moody took his chain and he can’t guard Buddy ffs.

Run the offense through Leonard. It’s not rocket science.

Leonard is everywhere. He just needs to shoot every time.

Yeah put DJJ in for him. More length and defense.
