"B-b-but the Warriors are immune to injury, luckiest team EVER"
Lol but anyway this is good news for us. If we grab the top seed, we have about a good chance as anybody. Never doubt a Spurs choke though.
That first seed is within grasp now at least. ing crazy .
Sucks for him if it's true, but I'm glad the warriors don't have EVERYTHING going their way for once. Karma is a .
We're just 3 games back of the Warriors in the loss column, with 2 more meetings against them both in San Antonio. That 1 seed dream is suddenly very, very real.
46 days to go until the playoffs start.
It'll be hilarious if the Thunder get the seventh seed (assuming the Warriors drop to the 2nd).
Wow Woj bomb... I am speechless. I don't want bad karma so GWS Kd!
out for the playoffs like Ibaka ... worked well the last time for us
I hope he's ok and this is just a minor setback. The Spurs were built to beat the Warriors and I want to see them do it with the Dubs at full strength. I don't want the Spurs' 6th Championship to be tainted with "Well, if they had Durant things would have been different...". Of course its out of the Spurs' control and what will be, will be, but I prefer healthy rosters. Let the teams and talent decide this, not injuries.
Makes you think if the 1st seed is worth it assuming the Clippers get the 4th.A Rockets/Warriors second round would be crazy though.
I agree with the sentiment, but realistically, the Spurs aren't going to beat the Warriors fully healthy. This is the break they needed to overcome that Golden State hurdle.
Agree to disagree. The one thing Golden State didn't need after last year was more offense. Yet, they sacrificed team chemistry and defense to bring Durant on board. They aren't as good as they were last year. This Spurs team will punish them in the playoffs - Durant or no Durant.
It's not, I'd rather stay a 2 seed. That way we avoid the clips. Even the win against them came off Paul's first game from injury. 1 seed isn't worth it, tougher matchup in rd2 just to get one extra game at home in west finals if Spurs even get there
https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/sou...085809477.htmlSources: Warriors, Durant's inner circle bracing for tough news on knee injury
The Golden State Warriors are bracing for the possibility that All-Star forward Kevin Durant could be lost for the rest of the regular season – or perhaps longer – with a left knee injury, league sources told The Vertical.
Durant underwent an MRI late Tuesday night to survey the knee damage and team officials and members of Durant’s inner circle were expressing fear early Wednesday morning that the severity of Durant’s injury could preclude a return to the Warriors lineup before the start of the Western Conference playoffs in six weeks, league sources told The Vertical.
Some close to Durant feared the damage could sideline him even longer, league sources said.
Nevertheless, doctors were evaluating the test results and the Warriors expected to make a public announcement later on Wednesday.
Durant suffered what the Warriors termed a hyper-extended left knee in the first quarter of Tuesday night’s loss to the Washington Wizards. Golden State center Zaza Pachulia lost his balance and fell into Durant’s left knee.
Durant – a four-time NBA scoring champion – has been the Warriors top scorer this season, averaging 25.8 points a game. He signed a free agent deal with Golden State in July, leaving Oklahoma City after spending nine years with the organization that drafted him. Golden State has the NBA’s best record at 50-10.
Durant signed a two-year deal that included a player option that he expected to exercise to become a free agent again in July. Durant has consistently indicated that he expected to re-sign on a longer-term deal with Golden State this summer.
I don't give a good goddamn if it's tainted with an asterisk or coffee stain. I'll take it. but we would beat them regardless.
If in fact Zaza flopped and fell into KD... at least he's hurting his teammates now instead of trying to hurt opponents
If out for the rest of the regular season, Spurs chances of catching them in the standings for the #1 seed jump.
Spurs have 24 games remaining (including 2 home games vs. the warriors)
GSW has 22 games remaining and are 4.0 games up.
Lol forget the #1 seed. Did everyone forget who our coach is?
Expect a loss today.
Loss column is all that matters and it's three there. GS has played two more games, so less chances for them to lose though.
Just like in race for lottery the wins column is all that matters. Heard podcast looking at lottery race by losses, which is totally wrong way to think about it when wins are the bad thing.
Also, home court against GS plus forcing them to face Houston (and potentially a tougher round 1 matchup as a two seed) far outweighs the Spurs avoiding LAC.
Gortat of the Wizards ========= savior of team basketball, tbh
all hail Gortat!
Best post in the world, !
