Must win. Get this and we're looking at no worse than 30 losses(barring a massive choke against the Knicks or Suns at home). That should at least lock up the 4th seed.
A Denver Nuggets like performance would be better. 35 points, 10 assists, 6 boards and a few steals. Rivers and Shumpert need to have good games.
I don’t know why I’m an emotional wreck every time we play the Kings! Oh well, screw them!!! Go Rockets!!! ....... ....... .......
Don’t worry. If OKC gets 1st Round matchup against Warriors, then very best bracket alignment would be for us to face them immediately after that physical series. The 1-2 punch of OKC followed by a Houston roundhouse could be exactly what we want, while Paul and Harden are max fresh, because we all know GSW can withstand playoff grind better than any team in the league (proven by 3 of 4 titles), and their depth, meaning we get worse longer we play than them. They also still haven’t figured out the dysfunction of playing Durant and Cousins together. We want to hit them before they figure that out, too...which could be benching Cousins for Bogut.
