Unless the Nuggets shift into a gear they haven't had all season, I doubt their series with the Clippers will be "great" by any measure. Kuminga was active for the Clippers but Kerr did not play him. IMO, he'll probably get playoff minutes. Those other guys you mentioned are completely irrelevant to the Warriors' playoff rotation (which includes the Clippers game).
During the last stretch Ws not looking good. Jimmy also hurt. I will not surprise if Ws miss the playoffs.
We owe those b!tches Curry and Dray a good playoff beating, bring em on. They won't be the easiest opponents, but hey, none of us expected us to be 2nd place in the west right now, either, why not upset a fallen dynasty team while we're at it? ... Although I really don't think it's a given that they'll beat the Grizzlies, anyway.
ESPN has shown their cards with their little playoff graphic. I need to hear your wildest theories as to why these players have become the CHOSEN ONES, and why there are some notable omissions: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/44239876/nba-playoffs-2025-preview-teams-postseason And could it have killed them to mention we are the #2 seed in the intro? Bunch of clowns over there
I don't see Kawhi holding up though......as a fan of the game I wish to see a great matchup no matter what. As for the Nuggets, David Adelman is not a slouch though, although no Malone. It will do wonders if they just limit Westbrooks' minutes to 18-20 and have him miss the last 4-5 minutes.....unless all guards are fouled out.
So it appears all of the #1s and #2s will play next Sunday. The Saturday TV schedule for the #3/#4 slate of games looks very interesting, particularly LAC@DEN and MIN@LAL.
You can never count out a team that has won a championship in the last 2-3 years even if some parts are missing but the construct is still there and having the best arguable player not named SGA. Even if that was an asterisk championship. It wouldn't suffice for WCF I think because of what happened and Denver lacking enough firepower in the clutch and enough Defense....
So last game on Sunday? That's kinda what the schedule is indicating. I'm guessing an 8 pm local start. I hope not. I was throwing a Wrestlemania party lol
I hate Kawhi and Buttler both now. Fools think they can only play 50 games a year. They are bad for the sport—they don't deserve to win a playoff series.
- Lebron, Tatum, Giannis is easy really. All NBA champs. 6 combined MVP awards. Celtcs defending champs, their 1A player, premiere market - The others: You want wild theories.. its "This is the future CHOKERS list.. We set all these guys up as "Got Next", but then actively discourage them from becoming next lol. Cuz we know you all want Bron, Luka, Steph, & Celtics in the finals no matter how much crap you talk on them"
