    Go Heat and Warriors.

    We really need Golden State to do us a favor tonight. Followed by Portland tomorrow. The Clippers are way too close for comfort.

    I'd rather the Spurs keep winning and finish with the 5th seed. If we finish with the 3rd seed, the Clippers are a much better matchup for us. The lesser of two evils.

    Plus, that means that the Blazers would face the Spurs (and lose). And the Spurs would face GSW in the 2nd rd.

    No way. The Spurs still have a good shot at passing us(and even Memphis) if they keep winning. Remember, we still have to play them 2 more times. So we need them to lose games so we can at least clinch home court in Round 1.

    Besides, let's keep our sights set on the real prize which is the 2nd seed. We still control our own destiny there.

    I don't care about anything other than the Clippers losing tonight.

    You understand that we still need to play the Spurs twice and if we lose both games, we could end up at the 6th spot?

    Yeah I understand. I just have stronger faith in this team vs pop and his benching/resting tendacies at the end of the regular season than you guys.

    All things equal, we should have everyone except bev back by that time. I like our chances.

    Versus the spurs in the playoffs? Fuggedaboutit

    A TNT play-by-play Analyst picked Harden for MVP. Who was that? I thought it was Reggie, but not sure.

    It's funny how a bunch of actual NBA players think Harden is the MVP but the media wants Curry sooooo bad

    Naturally GS getting roasted when we need them to win. Is Draymond Green the Warriors MVP or something?
