As far as I know, ain’t nobody putting up banners for losing in the WCFs lol. We’re we hoping Utah or Portland would take out GSW?? That’s insane, imo. OKC... ok, maybe. That went outback the window yesterday though It’s good that there’s a stigma that losing in second is worse than WCF though. Pressure to improve should be insanely high then.
As long as our 1st round opponent isn’t OKC, I’m fine with finishing 4th. Sure it sucks finishing 2 seeds away from where we should have, but we avoided our toughest 1st round challenge; likely assuring us of a rematch with Golden State. That’s all one can really hope for.
