    We can beat the worriers in the playoffs. Morley has built this squad for that exact purpose.
    Unfortunately Morley didn’t take into account the other playoff teams..

    4th seed is inevitable.

    3rd seed very possible.

    Portland can be annoying. I can see them pushing us and if some calls go against can maybe even pull an upset. That said, the odds would heavily favor a healthy Rockets team, so we gotta go with the smart money.

    To win in the playoffs only one concern is the rebounding at both ends. If we play our game and rebound we will beat anybody

    I just looked at the schedule again. Man! Some of those games are going to be really tough.

    Technically 2nd seed is still in play, Denver might go on a little losing streak.

    Has to take 3 seed, pretty likely.
    2 seed is not possible.

    more so than just the loss itself, that's also the game harden injured his neck, which carried over into a couple of our other losses as well

    That's hilarious Suns beat the Lakers. Philly and the Bucks just choked. GSW and Utah lucked out, but at least OKC and Denver lost.

    I don't know Denver has a very difficult schedule the rest of the way. Of course we would have to play flawless basket ball. I will say this if the Warriors take the number 1 spot its even steven if we are 2 or 3

    Utah is very dangerous. They have a cupcake schedule and is very likely to go on a long winning streak.

    They have the 3rd toughest schedule in the West. OKC has the toughest remaining schedule in the whole league.

    I'll tell ya what's scary. Utah just beat one of the only 3 teams they had left to play in the top 10. They also have 11 games left against teams below 20th ranking . They could pass us all up if we aren't playing our best.
