They should be going for the 7th or 8th seed, it gives that second chance which is huge. The playoffs for them really has already started.

Sit them. We shouldn’t need them for the g league blazers. We’ll need to be our best for the back to back in the bay against nop.

I think I'm rooting for the Pels tonight, then phoenix against the kings so we can get the 8th seed.

I would like to see this final standings

6th NOLA 49w
7th PHO 48w
8th GSW 47w
9th SAC 46w
10th LAL 46w

I dont want to play with NOLA two times in a row. (I remember 2021 with Mem final RS and play-in games)

Mike Brown is in desperation mode. Its hard to pinpoint whats going wrong over there, but the bottom has really dropped out

All this despite Sabonis being a fantasy god this year. But think it kinda proves the point about having a poor defensive C - unless they are crazily elite, like Jokic, its way harder to build around them than some average rim-runner that can defend

Scenario I'm most worried about is one where the Thunder get the 1/2 seed and the Warriors vault into the #7/8 slot. The only negative OKC has for them is being young and unproven in the big stage, but they check all the boxes for a title team. Only team I'd take over them is Boston.. and IMO easily the worst matchup for the Warriors in the west

Can't play defense when he's got no defenders, especially ones that can cover ground.

Last year they won 48 games this year they’ll win 46 in a much tougher west and teams are more prepared for them. I just don’t think they’re that good. They’ve got no real defenders on the team so they have to rely on offense. Those let down spots this year really bit them because they had nothing to rely on but pace and shooting and if you’re not motivated that’s hard to bring. Hard to be motivated when you’re the hunted and not the hunter.

I know the metrics like okc and Boston but I’m not really a believer. They both rely on their role players making 3s. They’re rather soft. Once the physicality ratchets up and teams get more locked into rotations I think we’ll be fine. I’d rather Okc than Denver.

This is what I want also.

I want to avoid the Fakers and have a crack at KD and Booker.

Totally disagree. Honestly OKC is who I would want the Warriors to play. I think there is a high chance OKC loses in the 1st round regardless of who they play.

Agreed. Of course the main thing is I hope the Warriors somehow finish 8th. Hopefully they get some help. 8/9/10. 8 is so much easier than 9 and 9 is so much easier than 10.

Back to back game for struggling Live by the 3 die by the 3 Kings.

I hope the Kings fire Mike Brown so that he can be an assistant coach for the Warriors again. It would be like the Warriors firing Mark Jackson except with no championships for the Kings.

Kings, Warriors, Lakers all 45-35
I wonder how the standings decided Kings are 8, Warriors 9, Lakers 10.

Tiebreakers.

Don’t want to make a new thread for Looney.

Wiggins seems to be back playing near his peak levels excluding last night at Blazers.
Looney was looking bad earlier this season but Looney also may be back.

What was peak Looney? Looney may have peaked vs the Kings in the playoffs last year but does that count as a peak if Looney did not look good vs Lakers? Maybe both Looney and Wiggins peaked in 2022 playoffs.

Suns have motivation to beat Kings. I think Suns will beat Kings.

It goes based on records against those teams.

Kings (2-2 GSW, 4-0 LAL) 6-2
GSW (2-2 SAC, 3-1 LAL) 5-3
LAL (1-3 GSW, 0-4 SAC) 1-7

So Suns in the 7 vs 8 game vs Warriors with the loser of that game facing elimination in the game vs the winner of the 9 vs 10 game.

I would enjoy Warriors beating Kevin Durant. Then Lakers beat KD with help from the dirty refs.

Then Nuggets defeat Lakers
Warriors defeat Thunder or Twolves I hope but do not expect.
Thunder or Twolves defeat Pelicans.
Mavericks defeat Clippers

Nuggets defeat Mavericks
Warriors defeat TWolves or Thunder I hope.

Then Jamal Murray gets injured and Warriors beat Nuggets.
Then Porzingus and Horford get injured and Warriors beat Celtics with Looney and Trayce grabbing offensive rebounds.

Extremely well balanced, athletic, and have bigs that can pull the Warriors bigs out on the perimeter, and despite being near the top in most team metrics, are still leaving value on the table. And they absorbed 3 of the biggest Warrior runs this year and still finished 3-1 against the team

Nuggets actually the best matchup of the 3 because our team is best playing scramble defense, which is what happens on the Jokic doubles. Just has to be a full team effort defensively. Wolves are one of the worst bets out there right now considering their team metrics vs. record. They have to desperately want the Kings in round 1, because the other 3 7-10 teams, especially LAL, can pose a big problem for them stylistically

Last games Warriors should beat Jazz and Kings should be Blazers. Kings have tiebreaker over Warriors.
Suns should beat Kings tonight.
Suns have tie breaker over Pelicans so Pelicans should beat Lakers to keep the 6th seed.

Kings 8, Warriors 9, Lakers 10. Warriors must beat Lakers and the refs in SF. Chase center fans better put down their Iphones and boo the refs when the refs try to cheat us to get LeBron into the playoffs.

Suns play Twolves with the same start time as Pelicans play Lakers which is good for us because Pelicans lose their incentive to beat Lakers if the Twolves have already beaten the Suns.

What the hell, I wanted an easier path but knocking LeBron out of the playoffs will be nice if the refs allow that to happen. Chase center fans could make a difference by putting pressure on the refs to not cheat. Chase center is too quiet.

Suns did beat Kings.

At this point, these all upcoming seasons will be big "it is what it is".
Core getting old, injuries, reluctance to make changes to the core.
I don't believe them getting past the first round or even winning two games in a row to get to the first round.
Live by the core (including Kerr), die by the core (including Kerr).
It is what it is.
The opposite of The Last Dance.
