    Yeah, that's all true now, but not at the time of my post. I wrote that when GSW had only 19 losses.

    The key is Toronto we need 63 wins to secure that right now.

    So we have to win at least 2 of our last 7 games, mostly against crappy teams?

    I think we've got this. :)

    If we stay healthy, we are winning a championship in highly dominant fashion...like we will sweep through rounds 1 & 2, totally dominate the Warriors in the WCF (but only because my gut tells me they wont be healthy), and literally toy with whichever team comes out of the East, wrapping up the finals in no more than 5 games...

    In the past 20+ years this is only the second time I thought we had a team I'd bet to win the championship, the other being the 07-08 team that won 22 games before Yao got injured, essentially sealing our fate as non-champs...again if we stay healthy this team will win it in spectacular fashion...

    I agree, health is our only concern.

    We only need home court against the W's, because of the psych-out factor and because if they're all healthy, home court would give them the upper hand.

    We don't need home court against the Raptors.

    We already have home court locked up versus the Cavs. Who really thinks Toronto is gonna beat Lebron..

    I would love to have an epic 7 game series against GSW with a game 7 similar for the Houston team.

    The sad thing is that they may very well get knocked out by someone else. If we're the team to actually knock them out, I'll probably tear up a little bit. It's going to emotional on Clutchfans!
