I think regular season games don't mean that much. The Nuggets are deep, but they wouldn't be nearly as bad as the Clippers. The Grizz turn it on in the playoffs. Randolph and Gasol have too much size, but I'm not sure how good they will be after trading Gay. Still, defensive rebounding teams tend to grind out wins against fast paced teams. The Warriors game was kinda flukey. I doubt the Rockets will get that many open threes, and when was the last time Curry and Thompson only scored 13 points and only one three? Let's see how we do against them on Tuesday. I'm sure they have that date marked on their calendar. Okay, wanna talk about the weather? It didn't rain today. Seriously, the playoffs are in two months and we have an idea of what some of the matches can/will be. The Rockets can finish as high as 5th or barely miss it. I'm not cynical, so I want to discuss it. My mistake, I skimmed it too fast.
exactly. it looks like the rockets will definitely make the playoffs, and their achilles heal, the pf position, is going be rather problematic once they get there, if they don't do something to improve it before then. the spurs, clippers, okc and denver have blown out the rockets this season.
Could you imagine the possible war with the Warriors? Weird to say that but, I could see this thing lingering. Edit: did I just really say the Warriors? Must be late.
Definately Memphis, then Nuggets, then Clippers, then Spurs, then OKC. We have absolutely no answer to OKC.
Memphis of course. We've played them very well this season. Now they made the Rudy Gay trade and are worse this year so we have a shot at them, the other teams have a better shot of beating us in the 1st.
I'd go memphis first for now and then golden state. We play GSW 3 more times tho so after a couple more games against them my opinion might change. I prefer not to face the Clippers or Nuggets
Let's not forget we'd have 7 (somewhat) home games against the Warriors lol. Bay Area Lin fans would go NUTSO in a playoff series. Should be interesting what the fan breakdown will be on Tuesday.
warriors would be epic, but not likely to happen. If we finish the season strong, then maybe denver or memphis. I just want to get to the playoffs!
Warriors for sure. Their backcourt's defense is terrible, even worse than our own Lin Harden tandem. David Lee will have trouble with Asik helping out whoever is guarding him. I definately see us beating the Warriors in 6 games if we face them. I would never ever want to face the Nuggets
doesn't matter which team we face what matters which form or shape we will be in come playoffs time...timing the form is everything....
Of the top 3 : Spurs, Thunder, and Clippers, I'd much rather our team face the Spurs. The last two games have been close, with the first being an OT game with no Harden, and the second having them beating us just by hitting more of their free throws. If our seed is 6-8 it'll be one of those three and I feel like our best chance is against the Spurs. The poll should have just been those three teams, because it seems extremely unlikely to be that we'll make seed 4 or 5.
