5th Seed Watch (was 6th Seed Watch)

[multo]

Nuggets almost lost to the Lakers' scrubs.

[floppymoose]

Switching to 5th seed watch since there are now two ways to get 6th seed:
1) stay ahead of Wolves
or
2) pass the Lakers, even if Wolves pass GSW.

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.

9-1 in this stretch. Taking care of business.

If we can take care of Denver and Milwaukee we might only have 1 loss in March to Philly. Smh

Nuggets almost lost to the Lakers' scrubs.

And now the wizards loss… they don’t have an easy schedule remaining either

Next game becomes huge!

Not too far from 2nd place even. Much can happen.

[Impuniti]

The goal should be to not be in the playin but also ignore a roadmap that goes through Denver, Lakers, and OKC on the way to the finals. That's an absolutely brutal lineup and I'm not sure the Warriors would have any energy left in June if they somehow manage to make it that far.

[KevinMcreynolds]

lol we never lose and we make up no ground

[Twinkie defense]

Warriors got that Swag back.

[SpreeS]

We need to win badly against DEN and MIl. And everything will falls into our hands.

[superunknown]

lol we never lose and we make up no ground

because we are trailing from very far behind.
those L against the nets, jazz and spurs still haunting them, flipped those 3 (or the L in philly against a team in disarray) and dubs would be already 5th with only 1 game behind the 2nd place. also, teams like HOU, MEM and MIN had an even easier schedule than us lately. it ain't easy to make ground up when the others play the likes of hornets, heat, pelicans, jazz, etc

I feel the same. I feel 6th seed is perfect and hope Houston and Memphis get the 2nd and 3rd seed. Not that I think they would be easy, I just don’t want to see Denver or la.

But if Lakers drop to 7 then you need to get to 5

Everyone loses to bad teams tho

The top of the west is just ridiculous

Time to be greedy and let’s aim for the 2 seed. We just need to go 10-1 in our last 11 remaining games.

still not enough. 3 games down is massive given how well other teams are playing

[NW]

Need to hope GS nails this Bucks/Nuggets back to back and that the Lakers lose when they get it later in the week. Then, they'll at least be closer to controlling their own destiny with games against the Grizz, Rockets, Lakers and Nuggets coming up.

I do not think temas like HOU,MEM and MIN are playing that well, they just have a soft schedule.

Joke day:

UTA @ MIN
CHA @ LAC
PHX @ LAL

[DaHef]

Joke day:

UTA @ MIN
CHA @ LAC
PHX @ LAL

The PHX @ LAL free throw discrepancy could be off the charts. The NBLA needs to stop the Laker free fall.

UTA @ MIN

Markko lighting Minny up and giving us separation would be poetic
