Memphis has a good chance to lose their final 11 games and miss the playoffs. Houston, the 9th seed, is only 3 games behind them.

Grizz have lost 6 in a row and have the following 5 games left:

vs. Bulls
@ Dallas
vs. GS
@ LAC
@ GS

Chicago and Dallas are fighting for their playoff lives. Their only hope is that Doc is resting guys in their Clippers game. Whether Golden State rests players in those 2 games is irrelevant. Memphis will lose both.

I think they might be able to win the last game @GS if it guarantees GS gets to play them as the #8 seed. It would be hard to justify setting yourself up with a matchup against Houston or Utah even if it means going for history.

I think the most underrated free agent this offseason is Nicolas Batum. Great two-way player who is a nightly triple double threat. Started for good teams in Portland and then shows up in Charlotte and they are all of a sudden a good team. Fits our team perfectly because he can play and defend multiple positions, can space the floor, and handle the ball when IT is out of the game. Play him and Jae Crowder in a small ball lineup and we are a very good team in my opinion. Oh, did I mention he is only 27 (so a five year deal covers his entire prime).

I also like the idea of a Batum signing. I am not sure how much he gets paid, probably close to 20 per year. That is a lot of cabbage. I do like the fact that it is for his prime and post prime years.

I so hope the Warriors don't break the Bulls streak, they've been talking about it all season and been cocky during the whole process. It would be glorious. Everyone can thank the Celtics for killing the Warriors mentally.

Towns is the future, man.

I just tuned into the Game. Wolves up by 4. Hold on to the lead . Warriors team are very arrogant. Fans included. I can't believe I rooted for them to beat the Cavaliers.

Warriors can be beaten . They're not unbeatable .The Celtics proved that.

They so good, on pure talent alone. Hire a decent coach, make some upgrades. Mavs, Pelicans, and Rockets are question marks. They can make it.

Watch as Wolves get more buzz than Celtics even as we're the ones to beat the Warriors at home first.

Afam · Post #95 » by **Afam** » Wed Apr 6, 2016 5:24 am

Wolves just beat the Warriors . Unreal

I just realised i kinda hate this Warriors team. Didn't help the owners recent comments about their dominance.

shawn unkempt · Post #97 » by **shawn unkempt** » Wed Apr 6, 2016 5:26 am

It'd be so great if the Warriors started imploding right as the playoffs are about to start.

I'd be worried if I were a Warriors fan, their team looks mentally drained heading into the playoffs.

They need a PG who can shoot. Problem is I don't know if they could get anything valuable for Rubio.
