Jimmy Butler severely injured his knee. Warriors might get eliminated by the Grizzlies again in the Play In.
So we get the loser of Golden State/Memphis, assuming both the Kings and Mavs lose every game? I'm so confused.
we get the winner of GS/Memphis. The loser of that game plays the winner of Kings/Mavs for the 8th seed.
(7)Warriors/(8)Grizzlies: winner is 7th seed and is the Rockets opponent (9)Kings/(10)Mavs: loser goes home; winner faces loser of Warriors/Grizzlies; winner of that game is the 8th seed
I knew as soon as they made that big deal about that exchange between Steph and Udoka that it was gonna be the warriors round 1. Luckily we have home court.
call me crazy, but I could definitely see Memphis beating GS in that 1st play-in game and getting the 7th seed…especially with Jimmy healthy GS’s play-in record is not good, I think they’re 0-4 IIRC and if we get Memphis in the 1st round, I’ll be at game 1 at TC chillin with my feet up because I’m not worried about them at all
