OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

GS is unraveling? Why, because a rested Utah team took them to overtime on a back-to-back?
Or because they finally missed a few shots down the stretch against Boston? They finally lost. WOW...write their obituary. 15-2 in March, but 0-1 in April. Yes, I see the trend. Going to limp into the playoffs and lose in the 2nd round. ��
Casual vanilla fan.

It's the fact that they are becoming more and more sluggish and slow as the games go on. In comparison, Spurs are becoming better and better. Kerr is killing his players and it's showing, and WILL show in the playoffs. I'll be sure to add your name to the bump list when GSW fails to get past the WCF.

Edit: ALSO, even you bandwagon vanilla fans can't deny the TACKLE that Draymond Green did at the end of the game to get Curry open. He's been doing this ALL year, especially at end game and the Refs have been letting it slide. That won't go in the playoffs, but continue with this "historical juggernaut" crap.
 
Curry 8-12 from three last night in the loss. Dude is amazing.

I'm confident the warriors win the title again this year.
If they still have their core next year then they will probably win the title next year too

So, you're saying you don't expect them to go up against Utah until round two and that we're going to the Western Conference Finals? Bold prediction!
 
Jazz really need to win 3 of their next 4 to keep some of the pressure off. The Jazz aren't favored to win the Clippers game or @Denver, but really should win both of those to secure POs. If they can beat the Suns, Clips and Nuggets, then they can afford to split their last two games and get to 42. That's really the magic number at this point. Houston has to beat both Dallas and OKC to get to 42. Dallas needs to beat either Houston or Utah and catch a break with either the Spurs or Clips resting players.

We're actually favored against the Clippers. So are we rooting for Houston or Dallas in their matchup? We could potentially be up 2 games on the Rockets going into the last 4 games of the season, but their last 4 games are cakewalks. It's probably going to come down to our April 11th game vs the Mavericks, so do we want the Mavs to lose to the Rockets so we have some extra cushion against them?

We want the mavericks to beat the rockets imo. The only cushion we need against Dallas is beating that *** when we play them head to head coming up.
 
I've stopped rooting for Portland to lose. There's no passing them anymore. At best, we tie them. And if we do tie them, the only thing it would do is cause us to finish last in any multi-team tiebreakers with Memphis/Houston/Dallas because we went 1-3 against them.
 
Good luck Gold Coast meter maid pics for tomorrow's game pending ... Hoping for an epic we win and our 4 rivals all lose on the same day bonanza ...
 
Perfect scenario: Utah wins while Houston, Dallas, Portland and Memphis lose. That will put the Jazz 2 games up on Houston, 1 game up on Dallas, 1 1/2 behind Portland and 2 behind Memphis.

Utah @ Phoenix
Portland @ Golden State
OKC @ Houston
Memphis @ Orlando
Dallas @ Minny
 
Rockets are playing with intensity.
They want to make the playoffs
 
****. Griffin going to be back for our game against them
 
Rooting for the Thunder against the Rockets is making me so ****ing grateful that we don't have Enes Kanter anymore. His "defense" just single handedly brought the Rockets back from down double digits.
 
Thank the Thunder for choking this one away. Durant isn't returning to OKC next year in my opinion.
