5th Seed Watch (was 6th Seed Watch)

[HiRez]

Current playoff picture as of March 6th.

If things ended today this would be the hardest road possible for us. Den/Lal/Okc

Yeah, now that they have a real line on #6 and #5 is looking possible, I'm getting greedy. If Memphis is stumbling, they really need to shoot for the #4 seed, which is not tremendously more difficult than #6.

Eventually of course they will have to go through Lakers, Thunder, and Nuggets, but having home court in the first round against beatable teams like Memphis or Houston would be amazing. Then see what happens. Maybe they lose in the second round, but even if that happens, that's two full rounds of playoff basketball experience for the young guys that is going to be a big help next year.

Been saying it but the 4 seed is looking real obtainable.

Getting home court advantage in the first round would be amazing. It’s also possible OKC can get upset by a hot team going into the playoffs as the 8 seed.

Somehow Kuminga's excellent play on both ends of the court before getting hurt is being overlooked by many Warriors fans.

Not surprising since his excellent play was largely overlooked by Warriors fans as it was happening. There's a persistent pessimism that Warriors fans hold for Kuminga that I find perplexing.

I hope you’re right but I don’t think I’ve seen a game where he’s really stood out defensively. Unlike even podz and moody on that side of the floor.

He has the physical tools to be versatile but we either need him as a long wigginsesque POA defender on guys like Luka or like dray on the interior/closeouts. Not sure he has the feel to be either but would love to be wrong

He had a good defensive game against Kd. I slightly remember another game but I forget against who. He’s had some good possessions as well this year. The issue with jk is consistency. His defense has been better than previous years. If he can have game plan discipline and not get lost on rotations, this is probably the biggest thing as right now everyone is able to fly around rotating to the next man, then he’ll be fine.

It's a big reason why Jimmy is so good for him. Kuminga gets in trouble because he rushes rather than just being quick and Jimmy is the antidote for that. Kuminga just needs to keep and eye on Jimmy. If he's not playing out of control than nobody else should be either.

Anything less than 8-2 is a disapointment

Ngl 8-2 would be slightly disappointing.

5-1 so far. Detroit should be the toughest remaining game, with Brunson most likely out a few weeks.

[Warriorfan]

4th is possible but warriors don't want to match up with OKC or Denver in hopefully 2nd rd.

Lakers Warriors would be epic

Keep on playing well incorporate JK will see what happens

[floppymoose]

Wolves Clippers Kings all heavy favorites today

[floppymoose]

One of the other teams play today. Rockets will likely beat the Pels.

6-1 now with Portland sac and ny without Brunson left. 9-1 looking really possible now.

Next big test is den and then mil. Then Clear sailing until April.

With LBJ out the lakers can slide. We should just go for the highest seed possible and aim for first round home court.

[NW]

Houston’s schedule is weaker than the Warriors the rest of the month. It gets tougher in April, but the top teams will start resting guys by then.

Memphis, with JJJ out and Ja struggling with a shoulder injury, is the best chance GS has imo. Houston should catch Memphis for 4th sometime this week.

We’re 3 games from Houston with the tie breaker and we play them again so if we beat them again we’re technically only 1 game away from them. Same with Memphis.

Denver has a tough schedule as well and we play them two more times.

We only have 2 really tough games left the rest of March. If any team slips up we have a great chance to catch them.

Only Q2, but Pels up on the Grizz by 11. Doesn't mean anything because leads don't seem to matter much this season.
