i can see them beating the timberwolves and the thunder though.
1 round t wolves
2nd round thunder
but conference finals would be clippers or nuggets i think.
So what, a few weeks ago we looked like a playin team but now look like we can win a series or two. We definitely won’t make the finals but I’d be stoked with a WCF appearance.
I think we can beat the Nuggets. Look what we took them to 6 with last year, and Nurkic played Jokic tough in the one matchup this year, which we only had 1/3 stars for.
Fully healthy Clippers would be very tough. I think they match up particularly well with us. But Kawhi has gotten hurt every year since 1982, and he’s the key for them by a mile.
Prior to the streak, I thought we were toast, but we’ve been a very different team since since that Sac comeback. I wouldn’t say we “definitely” aren’t making the finals. There isn’t a 2017 Warriors type team out there. Everyone has issues.
