    Im confident we can best the Clippers but do we really wanna send them down potentially to the 7th seed? Playing a series vs harden and kawhi is pretty tuff.

    There is no benefit in going all out this game either aside from "pride"

    Harden, I seem to remember a game where he was being terrorized by the Rockets, and there's a chance he sucks in the playoffs like he has many times before. Kawhi could be a problem, but his body is like 90. The only issues would be Shoebox and Ty Lue.

    It will be back to back game for Clippers, Kawhi might not even play.

    Kawhi's not playing tonight, so he'll definitely be playing tomorrow.

    Let’s play Cam and Reed 48 minutes in this game. I know certain poster/posters will be happy

    The Warriors just trounced the Suns.... our big plan is coming to fruition. (make Warriors angry > they take out their anger on draft pick holder)

    Great news, rest our core and let the clippers win so we don't play them in the first round.

    Adams shouldn't play until the playoffs and neither should Fred. Landale and N'Faly should get his minutes and some of Sengun's as well.

    I wonder how Udoka feels about being a Southwest Division Champion. I hope such high accolades in such a short don't go to his head.

    Starters should be:
    PG - Sheppard
    SG- Whitmore
    SF - Tate
    PF - Jeff Green
    ..C - Landale

    Sprinkle in Holiday / Williams / Dante

    That ship has long sailed, Udoka is full on working those guys to the very last quarter and then let Reed Sheppard play his 10 minutes.

    I could have seen Udoka as slave driver in ancient times.
