Same here. They will be RS champions and in playoffs, i hope we break their asses down.
Peaking at the right time is more important than having number 1 seed. We've been at different positions before whether number 1 to 8 but it always boils down to peaking at the right time. As mention above, we have more room to improve than the GSG. As long as we are healthy and our offense starts to gel, i am ok with 2 or 3. We will be kicking butt in the post season..

Slightly off topic, but why the did Draymond accept anything less than the max? It's not like the Warriors had a choice in the matter, or did his contract impact what other guys they could bring in.
I mean he got 5/$85 million, which is "only" $5 million less total ($1 million per year) than the max he could've gotten IIRC. Even after his impressive season last year, it's not like everyone was 100% confident he was some superstar caliber player going forward. It just looks bad now because he's looked even better this year and is playing like a legitimate top 10-15 player in the league so far.
Another thing to note is that the Spurs control their own destiny. If they beat the Warriors in all 4 of their regular season meetings, they can leapfrog them in the standings and get that #1 seed.
spurs aren't getting the 1 seed
That's the spirit!
Spurs only play the Warriors 3 times this season
Warriors are like the 07 Suns. Total reg season team. They will blow in the playoffs against good teams.
GSW is a given. They will get number 1 seed, and i would back us to beat them.
Im more worried about OKC. WB and KD. thats 2 of the top 5 in the league in one fricken team.
Explain.
I think both the Spurs and the Warriors are capable of winning on the others court. We've beaten them on their court quite regularly. Season 13/14 and 14/15 we won three of four games @GSW.
Going into that series healthy and clicking on all cylinders >>>> gunning for the #1 seed imo.
I like the Spurs changes no matter the seeding, but people claiming GS is a regular season team that can't win in the playoffs seem to forget that they won the championship last year. Say what you want about their easy road and injuries to other teams helping them, but that's the game and they still won it. Respect your opponent

Yeah. "Only" $5 million is a 5-6% difference, but he was probably happy with the massive pay bump considering he was getting paid 2nd round money before.
And to think the Thunder and Harden were about that far apart on their contract. They ended up paying that, and then some, to Kanter because the Blazers forced their hand.
And (given the ownership group) to think oil prices were twice as high when the Harden debacle happened as when Kanter was resigned...
I wouldn't say the Warriors have a very strong defense but they're good enough to recognize individual matchups and rely on their overall defensive philosophy. On the Suns, except Raja and Marion, no one couldn't play D...
I think coasting is important. Lately the Worriers were playing every game like it was Game 7. I liked the streak, let them focus on it. We're still experimenting, using the 82-game season like a laboratory.
Even better. If they beat them all 3 times, they would tie them in the standings, but still own the tiebreaker by virtue of winning the season series.Spurs only play the Warriors 3 times this season
there few signs of Curry cooling off a bit.. 8-28 from 3PT in the last 4 games..if we stay within reach from the Dubs (2-3 games) deep in March, we might see Pop making push for the Top seed especially if it looks like the Clippers are going to stay this discombobulated or worse....Tomorrow game vs Cavs is good litmus test of where the Warriors stand after that historic run..
The inevitable GS slide has started. Spurs going to be taking the one seed. We'll be having a Warriors-Thunder second round match-up. Spurs will likely get a rematch with the Clippers in the second round.
Nice call, ChumpDumper
Be careful what you wish for, especially if they get useful pieces to fill out bench after they screwed it up again this summer. Paul-JJ-Blake-DJ is a matchup nightmare.
Perhaps. But what if the Clips choke in the first round and we get Houston or Dallas? Meanwhile, it'd be pretty much a given that OKC and GS face off.
I want revenge, the clippers, we will have homecourt and we are much improved, they are worse than last year
