Game Thread: Tax Day! 04-15-15, Nuggets @ Warriors..7:30 pst

The Nuggets visit the Warriors as the Warriors try to push their win total to a gaudy 67-15. The Nuggets are simply playing out the rest of the season, and while they'd love to beat the Dubs, the Dubs will insist on protecting home court. As long as they protect home court in the playoffs, they win it all. So, practice makes perfect. At this point we can see that Kerr is not going to sit out any starters for the sake of rest as they go into the playoffs.

The Nuggets give up a lot of points and the Dubs score a lot, sooo Dubs win it 108-100 after running the lead up to 25 early on. No player for the Dubs scores more than 20 pts tonights because everyone for both teams will play. The Dubs might sit Andrew Bogut. Just a hunch.

I would think Curry, Draymond, Klay and Iguodala all get 20 minutes or less in tonight's game. The last few games Kerr has kept their minutes steady or even on the high side, but with the last game of the season I'd say we'll see much of the reserves regardless of score. Bogut should just be held out. No reason to even put him out there against the Nuggets.

Nuggets have played well their last 4 games including a close loss on the road against a motivated Clips. I'm hoping for a win, but at this point Kerr knows what the priorities are. Health for the playoffs.

I'm stingy, I guess. I want another win in the books. Who knows when a team is ever going to be able to win 67 games again. I have heard people say that Kerr has managed the minutes well throughout the season, and because of this they haven't had to sit guys out very much. That, plus they've been so far ahead in many of the games that some guys (Curry) have sat out the entire 4th period. Curry hasn't played in 17 4th quarters.

 

[GregWarriorsfan]

Yes! We got our 67 wins. Good for the second team for holding the lead.

Great way to end the regular season...and a record breaking season at that.




Now everything gets really real.

See you on Saturday for game 1 vs. New Orleans.

Go Dubs!!!

Thompson was on fire again. That's a good sign.

 

[GregWarriorsfan]

Yeah, it's nice to see Thompson shooting the ball so well. I rarely worry about Curry, but Thompson can go cold for a number of games in a row.
