is what it is, man...
True, but I still can't watch it. Just hoping that the Kings' young players can build together and make a great team soon like the Warriors had with Steph, Klay, Green, and even Barnes previously. This playoff drought sucks!

No more talk of the Warriors not having a bench. Tonight their leading +/- players were Iguodala, Livingston, and especially West

SPURS point guards have been outscored 107-23 in their last 4 losses
It is pretty obvious what is the achilles heel for SA lately.

If the backcourt plays semi-decent, they win. It is not great talent, but they need something.
If the backcourt is not engaged, they cannot win.

They dominate up front. They did it again tonight.....although David West helped lessen the domination.
They just need something besides a fucking zero from the PG position

They will get a pretty solid player in KD for the front court when he comes back

Lol, it's one game

Today just exemplified the whole season though. When it started the talk was that they gave up depth to get Durant, and I basically agreed but figured with 4 allstars you can always have 2 of them at least on the floor so depth was less important for them anyway.

Well not only is that true, but the bench is actually just as good if not better than last year. All they lost was Speights and Barbosa and Ezeli. They have better players now in West, McGee, Clark, and McCaw. And of course they still have Livingston and Iguodala.

Next year is a whole other story as Livingston is gone for sure and Iggy likely as well unless he wants to take a huge pay cut.

Basically it is now clear that if healthy they should win the title hands down. There were some questions before but no longer.

with the Boston loss the Cavs are tied for first- and actually 1 ahead of Boston in the loss column.

I think this is all gonna come down to the game in Boston in who gets home court. If the Cavs win that game- they also own the tie-breaker- so its effectively worth 2 games.

Hopefully Lue makes the right decision on rest - and gets Kyrie and LeBron a couple games off here down the final stretch of the season. That should defintely be his priority over seeding.

that boston game is a 2nd night of a back to back- on the road- when they typically rest players- especially as they have 6 games in 10 days at that point.

Holy shit the Heat very well may get the 7th seed. Just looked at Indy's upcoming schedule.

@ Toronto
@ Cleveland
VS Toronto
VS Milwaukee

I got the Pacers losing 3 of 4 if Cleveland play their guys on Sunday

Yep 7th seed looking likely for Miami if they're able to hold serve at home this weekend and defeat the Knicks and Nuggets.

If we hold serve and Indy loses on the road to both Toronto and Cleveland as I fully expect then Miami would basically be 3 games ahead of them with just over a week left.

Kyrie's 24 years old and Lebron's 32. Why do they need so much rest? I would think getting your defense right would be a higher priority.

The way Cleveland's playing they just may wind up as the 3 seed.
