honestly not even gs should be a particular challenge i expect some historic stuff out of harden and the crew
Seems like the top three seeds wants to avoid OKC and the bottom three playoff seeds wants to get Denver. I think Warriors and us can beat OKC. However I believe it will drain a lot of energy in the 1st round compared to facing clippers and spurs. If PG13 and WB can catch fire, it will be hell of a matchup!
OKC is going to put up an annoying ****ing fight, need to avoid them at all costs. Its also bullshit that GS is getting away from playing them
OKC can't score enough as George and Westbrook are largely inefficient. I for one, am not worried about that team as they are not good.
It wont be easy, Thunder match up well with us, GSW and Thunder two teams are toughest task for us, Thunder plays good vs Rockets, I hope we face the Clippers or Spurs
We're gonna face the Spurs. OKC can't get up to 6th unless the Spurs completely throw it against Dallas and Cleveland, which I don't see happening.
We can still get the 2nd seed. Portland has a lot on the line tomorrow against Denver, and even though Utah probably won't when the Nuggets visit, they've still been on a huge roll lately.
GS with a functional Cousins is definitely the best team in the league. Perhaps the best team to ever step on the court. Curry, Klay, Durant, Cousins, and Green is the best starting 5 in the history of the game. The Celtics, the Lakers, the Bulls, the Spurs, Pistons - none of the greatest teams had such a talented group of players. Two MVP's, two perennial All-stars, and two defensive stars who are near all-stars in their own right. The Rockets have one MVP and one former perennial all-star . That's it. So yeah, I think GS will definitely be a huge challenge.
There's only one basketball. The smartest thing GS can do is make sure they have the right combination on the floor at all times to get the best out of all the talent they have. I hope they foolishly and royally F that up when they play us because we will surely take advantage of it!!!
