Warriors' shooting coming down at the wrong time.
I can't see him doing as much down the stretch. I feel like he does most of that stuff during the first half of the season. By this point, we know what guys are playing, and it should be all about continuity and chemistry.
If we have any scheduling issues like 3 games in 4 nights I could see him resting guys. But hopefully we don't have many of those left
Warriors' shooting coming down at the wrong time.
There's a guy named Kevin Durant who is injured and is kind of a big deal in the league...
Cheers to closing the season on a winning streak!
When we do that, we do well in the playoffs. Remember how crappy we played during that one reg season and then we went in that insane 20+ run to end the season and all the way to the Conf Finals
But, to be honest, the fact that we have won only one playoff series in the past two years makes me a very nervous Spurs fan.
I think our team needs to go into the playoffs on a winning streak as they have traditionally done !
I was referring to the fact that he's out for a month...thus Spurs have a chance now. There were posts saying we still had zero shot. Was referring to that.
thought it was obvious. I'd agree we literally had zero shot at #1 seed before...still think it's extremely unlikely...but there's a chance now.

We already saw how GSW relied on coaches when Kerr had his surgery, they were like 45-4 or something like that, and now we can see how awesome of a coach Fluke Waldo is.
You were mocking them for losing to a Bulls team we've lost to at full-strength
we tend to do things like that. Hopefully we don't anymore for rest of season
also you're moving goalposts. My point is is that it's not ridiculous to think we can catch them now that Durant is injured, tonight's Dubs loss supports that even if it's a small sample size...thus me at ppl still acting like it's impossible.

With the Spurs only 2 games back of the Warriors in the loss column and two head-to-head matchups in San Antonio looming this month (both of which will be on the 2nd night of a back-to-back for Golden State), we could very well have the #1 seed by the end of March.
That was also with Barnes. He was replaced with KD and now they won't have either for at least a month. Defending McCaw, Iggy, Livingston, and whomever see's increased playing time in his void, is much easier.
Also with KD out, their defense should slip and that 85% rate also included players like Bogut and Elizi, both of whom have been replaced by McGee, Zaza, and D. West ( all three of whom are a drop off in terms of rim protection)
16-6 (16-5 with the loss to the bulls) seems fairly reasonable considering OP mentioned that two of those loses that he factored in was by the Spurs. Houston should win at least one of their two remaining games against GSW. OKC and @ Dallas on a B2B could be potential loses as well.
It's not entirely impossible that that might happen.
Nice post. Yea it's unlikely, but it could add some fun drama and intensity to the end of a pretty damn boring season.
Warriors were playing their 3rd game in 4th nights. First game after finding out they won't have KD for a while. Spurs barely escaped the Pacers last night thanks to a missed called. Everything has to go right for the Spurs to get the first seed. I hope it does, but chances are it won't, tbh.
So yeah, it's almost impossible for the Spurs to get the 1st seed.
I think the fact that we get to play them two more times makes it slightly possible. We do have to be absolutely incredible down the stretch of course. Just don't see why it's so impossible. I'm usually a huge pessimist when it comes to the Spurs, too
Would I bet on us? no. Just think there's a shot. Hoping it takes a good while for Warriors to find their rhythm without KD, but won't be a bit surprised if they find it pretty quickly.
Also we didn't win that game thanks to a missed call. That would never be called in any NBA game.

It is obviously not impossible, but it's highly unlikely, tbh. Chances are we don't even win the two games remaining against them. Teams of that caliber don't lose 3 straight times against the same team, tbh.
The road still goes through GS because the Spurs will drop one of the first two home games per part. I wonder when the last time the Spurs had the number 1 seed and won the championship?
Without a top 5 player they gutted their depth for they might.
2014. You shouldn't have wondered at all, tbh
Miami what? You ing troll.
So true
Sorry but I missed the moment when Hoops Czar started acting like a Spurs fan, can anybody tell me when that happened, tbh?
They still lost hca twice in the playoffs that year and had to gain it back you Messi er and they aren't even 1/3 as good. If they lose hca to GSM, they won’t get it back.
If they aren't even 1/3 as good they better at least have more games at home than away, don't you think? You ing moron.
They've had their chance you ing cyclops. Do you watch postseason games with one eye shut? They play better on the road than they do at home in the playoffs. Why would I want them to play more games at home than on the road?
