Forget the 2 seed. I don’t see anything from the nuggets to suggest they will suddenly start losing games. There just isn’t enough games left to come back from 3 games down. As long as we hang on to the 3 seed we are golden. It’s hard to see this team losing to any of the seeds below us if healthy, and we match up well with the nuggets so.... I see conference finals minimum of healthy
I'm with you there. Staying healthy is so important for us to really have a chance. Cousins is getting better the more he plays and with Durant that team is so loaded its sickening. This will be their last year to keep all those stars. I want nothing more than to beat that loaded team in the Finals if we get that far.
All we need is for them to lose 2 games without us losing and then beat them in our last game with them and then we could control our destiny because we would have the HCA against them.....
I agree with the Count. Must keep 2 of Faried, Rivers and House, preferably all three. I hope those guys are not asking for lottery numbers, but if reasonable Tilman should commit to the championship run and sign them. Have we had this group from the onset, we would be looking at the #1 seed again with 60+ wins, easy. The current roster is MUCH more talent than last year's team. Need these last 13 games to fix the holes -- I am encouraged that MDA and the players recognize how lame these 3rd quarters of games have been. Winning a championship against the Worriers can be done, but must fix all weaknesses. Guys that don't get the defensive switching scheme hurt our system and should take a seat until they figured. Lube that machine!!!
If they lose tonight, that puts us 3 losses behind with a head to head. They have @ GS, @ OKC, @Utah and two against Portland. There's no reason to forget about the 2 seed.
its not just about them losing, the rockets will have to go almost undefeated from here out. that is asking a lot, especially when we really should rest harden some games. the most important thing is to just maintain. home court only matters in the event of a game 7. i do not believe it would take us 7 games to beat the nuggets.
2 seed is easy. Golden States are trying hard to defeat any playoffs teams in the west. GS, Rockets, Jazz, Blazers and Thunder can beat Nuggets .
the nuggets can beat the jazz, blazers, and thunder easily. they have owned OKC this year. i think people should stop overrating the jazz and blazers. kanter and hood don't make THAT much of a difference. utah is a one star team. anytime mitchell isnt efficient from the field its a struggle for them. they are tied for 8th seed for a reason.
Agreed. I guarantee that the Rockets are eyeing 2nd seed if not the first seed. No reason to play for 3rd, that is a loser's mentality. Need team to be focused on playoff basketball with only handful of games left in regular season.
I was thinking we were gonna finish the year 23-0 until the warriors loss, so why can’t we go undefeated? I mean we got Danuel House Jr. According to this board he’s better than Lebron James, he might be the second best player in nba behind James Harden.
Denver lucking out against Mavs and Pacers. It will get back to them and they will lose some close games, getting buzz beater-ed on. I can see it.
the bottom line is they won. they always find ways to get it done. i dont expect that to change much coming down the stretch
Do we want Warriors to lose? What happens if they become the 2 seed? I don't really want them in the 2nd rd
