    Guaranteed 7 game series if we play them. This blows.

    Spurs always find a way to screw us.

    For real tho, I don’t care. Bring them on

    A fairly early prediction, still 2 games left plus GS would then have an extra series to play before officially becoming the 7....

    I would take Warriors over Clippers. Clips have 4 player who can go off while Warriors are heavily rely on Curry to carry

    If they are 7 they still have to play the play in game and win it to get 7th and they are certainly capable of losing that.

    Especially if that game is against the Clippers or Minnesota or something, all of those teams it's a coinflip between them.

    We still have a long way to go. But Clippers at the Warriors on Sunday is suddenly looking huge.

    This really doesn't deserve a new thread. It's too early because the Warriors can win out and the Grizzlies and/or another team can lose a game. Too many tie-breakers can happen.

    With how shaky they've been recently (particularly with this loss), we also cannot assume they would win the 7v8 play-in game.

    We may not know where the Warriors finish until Sunday afternoon.

    WAY TOO EARLY to say Warriors will be 7th seed.

    There is literally 1 game between 4th and 7th. And the Warriors literally play the Clippers in one of their remaining 2 games (their last game). Until that game is resolved, the Warriors can finish anywhere from 4-8, and then there is still the play-in to determine 7-8 (if they finish 7th or 8th).

    Terrible thread.
    0 stars.

    Yeah, this is a big one. Warriors are 0-3 against LAC this year.

    Thursday night's Minnesota-Memphis game is one to watch also.

    Rockets could throw a wrench in the works by going all out to win against Denver to close. We will see how the Nuggets do though.

    I really don't want to play the Warriors, but then they just lost to the Spurs, so I don't know.

    As long as we don’t face the Lakers I am good. Warriors are awful, if it wasn't for the sad sacks in the league office allowing Green to be mental, Spurs would’ve beaten that ass even before that shot but I love how it came at the buzzer by a former Warrior.

    Warriors Draymond Green and Stephen Curry are scared. That is why they are talking nonsense, screaming antics. It is a sign of Fear.

    Alperen Sengun "They trying to scare"

    Alperen Sengun on physicality "I Love It"

    I think it is Karma to end the Warriors Dynasty.

    Draymond Green said it after the Cup Loss "I couldn't sleep" complaining about the Foul Free Throws later on his podcast.

    What did Amen Thompson do to Stephen Curry.

    Very similar to Khabib Nurmagomedov bear hugging Connor McGregor and destroying him mentally and physically. Connor Talking nonsense and throwing a cart at Khabib Bus window, it is a sign of Fear.

    Steve Kerr "I really wanted to go to Vegas" Cry

    Stephen Curry saying Ime Udoka cancelled his reservation.

    Draymond Green screaming, yelling, elbowing.

    Time to end the Warriors Dynasty.

    It's not likely, actually. There's like a 20% chance right now that the warriors are the 7 seed. There's way too much uncertainty. The results last night were really bad for us, though, if the warriors won there would've been close to 0 chance they end up at 7. But it's still not likely.
