Nobody gives a **** about legacy. We have 3 players and a coach that are banged up. The easier the opponent, the more rest they get.


This coming from a SUPPOSEDLY real warriors fan........

For some background...this board is the guys who live and die by the team and debated Speedy Claxton as a franchise player many moons ago. We're not the filipino families that buy playoff tickets after hearing we have a basketball team, or the techies who splurge on lower bowl to watch a 'quality basketmatch with the lads.' Why the hell wouldn't we want an easier road to the finals? Isn't that the whole point of getting the #1 seed?

I definitely want the Clippers. I hate them with every fiber of my being.

I want to see Paul and Doc with dejected looks on their faces after a 30 point loss in game 1 at Oracle. I want DeAndre Jordan to get posterized so bad by Javale McGee in game 2 that he grows a rat tail in his honor and names his future children Javale. I want game 3 to get so ugly that none of their fans, not even Billy Crystal, bother showing up for the formality that will be game 4 as the Clippers dust off their ugly EA sports ass looking jerseys for one last mandatory pounding. I want to see Steve Ballmer get down on his hands and knees and praise Joe Lacob as his lord and savior. I want this series to be the deathknell and lasting memory of "lob city". Here lie the Clippers dead at the Warriors feet. And then I want them to return to their true Clippers roots and rot away until eventually being contracted from the league sometime in the future. **** The Clippers.

Without a doubt Clips ... easy 8-0 onto 16-0. Utah is capable of winning a game or 2, but we would absolutely destroy the clips like we've been doing the past 3 years.

Obviously rather play the Clippers. It would allow the W's to be fresh and rested going into the WCF. But the Clippers aren't beating the Jazz...the Jazz are a better team than them(especially with Blake Griffin out) and the Clippers players are more worried about free agency than the playoffs right now.

Not about easier or harder. I just want to see the Warriors beat on the Clippers in the playoffs. After losing to them 2014 playoffs, they've manhandled them in the regular season, but haven't had any post season games, with the Clips losing in the previous round.

Jazz with Rudy back is the tougher opponent. The Clips, especially now with Blake out I think will suffer from a lack of offense. Their defense isn't strong enough to hold opponents down for long, either.

Jazz at least play better defense and have better outside shooting. I thought the Clips would take game 5 as I still believe CP3 is the best player on the court. It's just that players 2-4 would be on the Jazz.

1. Chris Paul
2. Rudy Gobert
3. Gordon Hayward
4. Joe Johnson
5. DeAndre Jordan
6. George Hill
7. JJ Reddick

If Blake were healthy, maybe that'd be entertaining. I'd rather play the Jazz at better health.

Joe Ingles might be 8 on that list! Yeesh!

Damn and I do love Joe too. Even better knowing Doc cut him from the Clips while his wife was flying from Aus to watch him play!

I'd probably put Joe Ingles above Reddick in this series.

It wasn't even that long ago when we had heated discussions about Jordan Crawford and Steve Blake. :lol:

Tired of the Clips.

I want the Jazz. They'll be a good test for us before we presumably face the Spurs in the finals if both teams get there.

I want to play whoever is the best and the healthiest.

Bring on the best for Golden State so we don't have to hear excuses when we win the championship.

I could give a crap what anyone who comes in second says. I want our team rested and healthy as possible as each round progresses. Give me the broken Clips. They are a bunch of dicks anyway. I love punching down at those goofy bastards.

And how did filipino and techies get dragged into this? I'm a techie but I've been a steady Warriors fan through the bad years.

I'm not filipino but I'm willing to convert.

Flop, the Cavs are sweeping to the finals. I'm sure of it. Lebron is too much.

If the Cavs don't make the finals somehow, I'll owe you a beer or 5. That would make me so dang joyous.

The Cavs are crappy this season compared to 14/15 and 15/16, but I looked at the other East teams, then I realize the Cavs only need to be halfway straight to make it to the Finals.
