And, again, the 2nd seed is “Fools gold” in a down year for the West as a whole. In a typical year 52 wins doesn’t get you close to the 2nd seed. Also they were only 4 ahead of being a play-in team. So let’s just run it back and play the same inefficient offense, while all our competitors make adjustments. Ridiculous.
I know but they could have won 54 if they didn't rest in the last games. I never said the record shows your real strength because that is displayed in the Playoffs only and the 7th seed Worriers were on par with the Rockets and more experienced with a banged up Butler and a sore thumbed Curry.
