    It's between slim and none.

    Slim has left the building.

    4 games back with 17 to go, it'll take a take a miracle.

    Who holds the tie breaker between GSW / Houston?

    Great thing about entertainment is one day its 4 and Dubs drop two straight (w/ last nite loss) and Rockets win next two then its 2 back with like 15 or so to go and with Dubs so up n down this season you just never know

    That's what the entertainment gods should make happen (fingers crossed) .... Its a hail Mary for sure......... paging Boban ........

    Warriors upcoming schedule is no cakewalk:

    @LAL
    vs NYK
    vs MEM
    vs IND
    @ MIN
    @MIA
    @ORL

    and we have a head to head matchup on April 4th that could mean a lot of beans.

    Unless I’m mistaken the Warriors already won the tie breaker so effectively we are 5 games back.

    Who knows, it's really on the warriors to implode. Curry has an ankle injury

    Wish they got rid of the playin garbage, we’re much better off trying to go 2-15 and trying to keep our pick. Just punishes stupid ownership

    Doubt we make a run without Sengun even with the easy schedule.

    Those blown games and losses to bottom feeder teams are really hurting right about now!

    I’m not sure you understand the definition of slim and none if you admit it’ll take a miracle, then there is technically a chance and therefore slim is still in.

    How many games did we win without Yao and Tmac in that 22 streak? I forget honestly. I think Tmac was out to start the streak, then Yao went down, and then I thought we won several without both of them.

    We had 1 or both in every game of that streak. McGrady only missed the 1st game of the streak but we had Yao. Yao missed the final 10.

    Ime will push for the play in, and Fred is going to push it on the court. We have a soft stretch in our schedule, with only CLE and OKC being the tough games. We could make a push.

    But for that to happen, I think Jalen and Jabari need to catch fire on offense. We're without Alpi , Cam and Tari, so they need to seriously step up their game. Who knows, maybe they go off tonight, and build on that and carry it on until the end of the month. Maybe GS or Lakers drop a few unexpected losses and We are right there in the mix. The chances aren't great, but it could happen. Tough to predict, but I'm hoping We can make it.

    Without Alpi, We are not advancing, but it would be a huge deal for the team to reach the play in.
