    Best possible outcome given how everything has gone down.

    The Grizzlies are very capable of beating the Warriors in one game.

    It could definitely happen but they will juice Jimmy.

    Also since we’re likely to lose anyway, might as well have Tari, Brooks and Adams beat up on donkey!

    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.

    You have no idea if it’s severe. And it was his thigh.

    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

    No line on the Warriors vs Grizzlies game because of Butler's injury.
