    Spurs are looking really good. I don't want to see them in the first round, urgh.

    It's all about matchups.. Harden and CP3 will kill the Spurs..CP3 in particular is a Spurs killer. I don't think Spurs will be in 6th anyway. OKC's schedule is crazy.

    This is crazy.
    Spurs sitting at 5th spot all of a sudden! The hell did they come from?
    I am pulling for a GSW vs OKC matchup. 1vs8 or 2vs7.

    Making a big run toward the end of the season gives you double reward.

    Plausible.

    My "shame" claim, comes from the fact we couldn't even push Seven in '17.

    We're better and owe them 5 games.

    Yeah, Cervical strain instead of a possible concussion this time around.

    Are we technically second in the West since GS and Denver are tied?

    Pop can coach... the Spurs have no business with the record they have, in the conference they are in. Good thing Leonard wanted out because the Spurs would otherwise have the one seed.

    Look at what he did last year with practically no Kawhi and no Derozan in his place. Plus with his wife passing away during the season.

    That would be sweet, but I'm more concerned they end up out of Golden State's bracket. The Rockets end their regular season at OKC... that game could mean a lot.

    I just want to see the Warriors have a tough road to the WCF for once.

    I disagree. They have a good squad despite all the injuries. Patty, Bertans, Belly, Forbes are all plus shooters from 3. I contend they would have been better record if Pop allowed them to shoot more threes.

    I personally don’t see a lot of talent. While I think they would benefit shooting more 3’s, I still think Pop has gotten a lot out of them.

    Pop has enough talent compensating for couple players.

    Lillard and Nurkic are going to have to do some heavy lifting on offense while CJ is out.

    A Durant/Westbrook playoff series is something we all deserve.
