    Curry was going nuts, so Pops put Leonard on him. Game over. Impressive Spurs performance. They look like they are ready.

    the threat to the #2 seed are those guys who just annihilated golden state

    exactly, we just need the Spurs to lose one game (they won't be a threat anymore)

    I'll take a split over the Spurs and then win out (NOP, Charlotte, Utah) which should get us the #2 seed

    Our best chance is Wed night when we're well rested and Spuds come off a back to back against OKC Tuesday night

    Sounds like it's between Kawhi, DeAndre, and Draymond

    Kwahi line in just 24 mins of action against the warriors:
    26 pts on 11-17, 5 reb, 3 ast, 7 steals.
    On the meanwhile clay thompson... 24 mins, 6 pts on 3-11, 0 reb, 2 ast, 1 steal.
    Kwahi will kill the warriors if they play in the playoffs, he can lock down both curry or thompson, depending on who is hot, and danny green is also a great defender.

    Would love for the Spurs to get that 4/5 seed and be in the Warrior's side of the bracket, with them going against the Clippers in round one. Could have set things up pretty well for us.

    Warriors
    Rockets
    Grizzlies
    Spurs
    Clippers
    Blazers
    Mavericks
    Thunder

    This could/would happen if Portland wasn't guaranteed a 4/5 seed for being a division winner. Stupid rule. I can't wait till there is one division so abysmal that they get a 4/5 seed even though they have a losing record while a team with a winning record is left out of the playoffs all together. Could be a very bad image for the NBA.

    But I think it's very important if the Spurs and Clippers could jump the Grizzlies and be the 4th and 3rd seed, respectively. I would take this arrangement also.

    Warriors
    Rockets
    Clippers
    Spurs
    Blazers (they would be the 4th seed but not homecourt)
    Grizzlies
    Mavericks
    Thunder

    Let the Warriors go through the Thunder and Spurs while the Clippers and Grizzlies fight it out before possibly facing us in round 2.

    Blazers cannot drop less than 4

    they won their division, they have to be top 4.

    Worst case scenario for 'em they won't have the homecourt advantage

    hahaha I was about to say...

    That Division winner is guaranteed a 4 seed is complete BS. It could have been a horrible thing for the NBA if the Blazers crashed and fell below .500, yet still made the playoffs instead of teams like the Suns/Pelicans/Thunder even though they have a winning record. That could be embarrassing.

    I don't like GSW, but I hope they will beat the Pelicans.

    A upset win by OKC against the Spurs would be great.

    Well Warriors have locked the best record in the entire NBA. So so much ending the season on a positive note. They have nothing to play for, so whoever facing them will beat them if try a little harder. Lol, dumbazz suns.
