    Warriors have one game left against the Clippers (Game 81)..At this point I fully expect them to tank it so they would get us in the first round..

    There is no sign of the Clippers cooling off; they may be actually this good..

    And why would Steve Kerr want Steph to go up against Patrick Beverley in 7-games series instead of matching up Patty Mills/Bryn Forbes ? He knows full well Pop will have both averaging +30 MPG in the series while White gets "these playoffs are not for him" treatment on route to a 20 MPG role...
    Warriors are trying to avoid playing the Rockets in the second round. If the Rockets are the 3 seed then they are going to try to get the number 1 seed. So I can't see them tanking that game.

    Because they know it's going to be a tough series that can go 7 games again in which they could possibly lose. It's also a series where they can be worn down by attrition early on. You don't want a hard match up before the WCF. Think about how the Spurs got ed over in '06 by playing the Mavs in the second round.

    Will be interesting to see if the Dubs tank intentionally to try and draw the Spurs in the 1st. OKC is in a downward spiral but the Spurs would obviously be an easier matchup for Golden State. I don't think they care too much about HCA against the Nuggs so I see them tanking tbh.

    Nuggets have owned OKC all year so I think they'd prefer the Thunder though I doubt they are that scared of a terrible road team like the Spurs.

    Obviously if you're a Spurs fan, you're praying to the heavens to draw Denver so the 1st round exit isn't as embarrassing but they're still going to need a good amount of luck to avoid the Warriors tbh.....

    He's easy to package - except that you have to package up that $12.5M salary (and $13.2M the next year). It's not that he doesn't have any value. He just doesn't have THAT much value. So you pretty much have to give up something to make the trade, or take back somebody else who also has a bad contract. He's an albatross, but he's our albatross now.

    Maybe next year, when he's expiring.
    Sorry to crush your hopes but he's expiring in 2021, not next season. Should get rid of him ASAP

    I was saying after next season he'll have an expiring contract, and that might let the Spurs get out from under without having to cough up another asset. I just said I don't think they can do that with 2 years left.

    I don't see them resting with Denver going for 1st seed as well... But we'll see. Too many games left to tell.
    Watching this team perform lately i don't think its gonna matter anyway, we don't look good to put it nicely.

    OT but Lakers announced today that they are sitting out LeBron for the rest of the season.

    But...but... what about the fans?

    Once it became clear that the Clippers were actually improved post trade deadline, these losers were always going to finish 8th. It doesn't matter how much the Thunder leave the door open because they'll always find a way to lose the game they have to have.

    It's way too tempting for them to embarrass themselves against the (declining) Warriors again.

    Lol called it two days ago. PATFO accomplished their offseason goal of being just good enough squeek into the playoffs. If their assholes get stuffed once again by alpha Bob Myers, they wont care

    Nuggets play at Warriors tonight. After they probably lose and accept that they're likely the 2 seed, I wouldn't put it past Malone, who's brash enough to do it, to sit some key players tomorrow, in an attempt to increase the odds of the Spurs finishing 7th.

    Even though the Nuggets swept the Thunder and they're reeling, I'd imagine them and all top few seeds, would prefer the Spurs.

    I also wouldn't put it past the genius to also sit some key players tomorrow, so he can pretend rest is more important than seeding, even though their only hope of winning a round is to finish 7th.

    The Nuggets are losing to GS tonight.

    A loss means GS has a magic number of 3 against Denver with 10 games (between them) to play -- the Nuggets are now pretty much locked into the #2 seed and should have little to play for in tomorrow's back-to-back with the Spurs.

    The Spurs, on the other hand, will have a lot to play for in tomorrow's game. That's about the best spin you can put on it.

    They probably will, in fact. They are rocking, and Denver is not as sharp as it was a month ago.
    #2 seed is very attractive, I guess HOU will try to get it. Which is good for SA since HOU plays OKC.

    Maybe 2 wins will be enough to keep the #7, but most probably we need 3 wins.

    We can only afford one loss and thats today against Denver. I see OKC losing only to Houston because Bucks will most probably play their G-league the last game.
    There is no way we are gonna lose only once and that means we are married with the 8th spot and our annual sexual manipulation by the Dubs.
    It is what it is.

    Spurs going 3-1 probably ends up being enough. If OKC loses 1 of their final 4 games then both teams end up tied and the Spurs have the tie breaker. I could see OKC losing that Houston game.
