    The odds of 3% seem close to right to me, even though I love my team.

    But I don't see how there are three teams more likely to beat the Warriors in a 7-game series. Nuggets maybe, as they might snag homecourt at altitude, but that's it. Warriors are going to steamroll anyone else in the west, and they may well steamroll us.

    Yup. Let's hope we can get to WCF and have a shot at them.

    Things could change substantially next year. I would think this is the last year of this "big 4" warriors team. I don't see them paying repeater luxury tax to keep klay and durant at max salaries.

    When its says the warriors odds are 30% the model is broken.

    Projected 5th best team in the NBA by 538. I'll take it.

    Statistically vs. realistically are two different things.

    Rockets are at 3% and you know damn well it's 0%.

    Seems right as the East has really strengthened.

    The only thing this tells you is how the REFS will call the game
