Official Warrior Watch: Draft Pick and Playoff Positioning

My phone has that problem to.

Well the Jazz won, so the Warriors/Jazz game next Tuesday will be huge. If we win, we will have 1 more win than they do.
 
Also, as much as it hurts, we have to start rooting for the Rockets and Lakers (especially) to win a ton of games. The Warriors could potentially fall to the 8th seed, but if the Lakers don't start winning, it will be hard for them to actually miss the playoffs.

I don't see Portland having a chance with their lack of depth, but possibly, they have the same record as the Lakers.

Wildcard would be the Mavericks. I could see them catching fire post-AllStar break with Dirk going back to being Dirk.
 
If the Warriors just miss the playoffs, I will be so hard.
Traditionally, there isn't much difference between a #14 pick and a #19 pick. I'd be excited about a Top 8 or Top 10 pick. I'm not that thrilled about picks in the late teens. Unless we can trade up, which is a remote possibility, those two picks will more than likely be career backups or flame out before their rookie contracts are up. However, anticipating the lack of a quality pick may force KOC's hand in terms of trading AL or Paul.

The difference is you get to choose. Yes, the success rate isn't that different, but the fault is more of on your own shoulders, not the fault of lack of talent available.
 
Although this year this seems to be the case regardless.

What? Drafting 14th instead of 19th could easily be the difference between getting or not getting a player like Burke, Porter, McCollum. There is a lot of talent in this draft, IDK what you are talking about.

I'd say it's a bit weak at the top.

A lot of commentators are calling this year draft somewhat weak across the board.
