18-3.... If we can get through the mid March tough home stretch, then the last week of the season...
Well..well...
18-3..pretty feasible if Pop goes for it ..basically lose 2 vs GSW+ @ OKC...
Just hoping Warriors drop a couple to keep us in the hunt for Top seed..they are likely going to rest guys in their upcoming homestend against weak compe ion..

Don't think they'll rest much at home tbh.
Curry might get one..he looked less than great (for his video-game standards) yesterday coming off the ankle..Iggy was bad because he rushed from hamstring tightness..they might get caught off guard by Portland/Jazz..these ers have lucked out way too many games..Really we should be only 2 Ls behind and game on for Top seed

Doubt it TBH...
70 only happens if Pop sees GSW slipping and subsequently steps on the accelerator in the run-in. There is no sexy second round situation for the Spurs, so HCA through all four potential rounds would be the only benefit. Health is a huge factor, but I'm so-so on rest. Pulling players out of their rotations and rhythms with two weeks before Game 1 tips off can be detrimental, and I'd rather not watch the Spurs struggle to get into gear against white-hot Portland or Houston.
If GSW can show signs of weakness in the next few weeks, they may go for it. Otherwise they'll coast to 65-68 wins.
Now that we've had a few more games between those two, I think it's a fair assessment that OKC won't give the Warriors much of a fight in a hypothetical second round. GSW is at least 10 deep on weapons, OKC clearly has nothing outside KD and Westbrick. The Clips are clearly the better choice to knock them off.
Yeah, I think it's the clippers with the better shot then OKC by how they been playing lately. How things been going for OKC it looks like it's the time to get them in the post season then the clippers but with OKC losing the regular season against warriors could only fire up the thunder come post season when they face warriors. Let's face it everyone will be picking warriors for a 5 game series but I don't think it's going to be that quick of a series. I like cp3 more better against steph then I like Russell. It just showed these last couple games vs warriors. Russ against warriors is so wild and inconsistent. Cp3 takes the steph matchup personal.
Pop doesn't give a about the 1 seed or 70 wins tbh. Team is good enough to hit that mark, but I doubt he pushes them hard enough to do so. No point.
Need to go 11-2 in the next 13.
Top 5 toughest matchups.
5. TORONTO
4. OKC
3.GSW
2.OKC
1.GSW
