tank is on?

[tzill]

Cleveland - check

NJ - lost

Washington - WHAAAAAT?

oh well.

Decent night for The Tank: CLE won a game they should; SAC and NJ lost games they should. The good news is tomorrow: TOR gets PHI on a back to back after the NJ game, CLE gets IND, SAC @NOR, GS @POR. Wednesday could be a very nice Tank Day.

If the Warriors win 2 more games this season then it will be entirely on the ping pong balls.

It will always come down to the ping pong balls, even for WAS and CHA. However, if you're saying that with two more wins, the Ws cannot finish bottom 7, I don't agree.

First, the Ws have 10 games left:
@POR
DAL
@LAC
SA
LAL
@DAL
@HOU
@MIN
NOR
SA

That's ONE game where they will be favored. They are about as likely to win two games as they are to win zero.

Second, they are currently 3 games behind CLE and SAC, two behind TOR, and one behind NJ and DET.

CLE: IND, @WAS, @DET, NYK, WAS -- all winnable games. They could win 24
SAC: @NOR, POR, @CHA. They could win 22
TOR: PHI, BOS, ATL, @DET, @MIL, NJ. Possible to win 26
NJ: BOS, NYK, @MIL, PHI, @TOR. 26 possible
DET: @CHA, MIL, CLE, MIN, TOR, PHI. 27 possible wins.
GS: NOR. 23 possible.

We won't likely fall to #4, but it's a good bet we finish bottom 7.

Even then, it will come down to ping pong balls.

The Spurs games will be tricky too, just for the simple fact that Pop is known for sitting his stars.

The Minnesota and Houston games concern me.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Fucking Cleveland lost in OT to the Pacers, Raps got waxed by the 76ers and the Kings lost to the Hornets. Kings are pathetic. Thankfully we lost to Portland.

Detroit should beat Charlotte today. Hopefully the Mavs bring it hard tonight.

Good night for the Tank, as DET won at CHA and we lost to DAL.

4. CLE 19 wins
SAC
6. TOR 20
7. NJ 21
8. DET 22
GS

Everyone in action tonight except the Ws. TOR and DET with winnable home games.

I know we're supposed to root for the losses, but just watching them play is fucking frustrating. Can't wait to get to the best part of the year as a Warriors fan...the off season.

That is exactly how I feel. When I don't watch the game and see that we lost, I'm happy. When I actually watch the game, I cannot help both wanting them to win, and being pissed off when they screw the pooch.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Bargnani just got shutdown for the rest of the season.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

I guess that makes it a lock win for the Pistons and New Jersey when they play the Raps. Nice silver lining.

 

[CitySushi]

Looks like David Lee and Richard Jefferson out for tomorrow's game. Hopefully JT gets at least 30 minutes.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

DAVID LEE OUT WITH A GROIN STRAIN!!!!!!!!! MRI also revealed stress reaction. Advised to stop playing or risk further damage. HOLY MOLY THAT IS MUSIC TO MY EARS. TANK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now keep Curry chilling for the rest of the season and it is on!

A good night for the Tank:

TOR beats BOS, NJ with a road win in PHI. DET did drop a home game to MIL though. And, of course, Avi is done for the season. Oddly, I'm going to LA tomorrow and my brother-in-law has tickets for the Clip/W game.

4. CLE 19 wins
SAC
6. TOR 21 wins
7. NJ 22 wins
DET
GS

1 TOR win out of sixth place. CLE, NJ with winnable games tomorrow and a likely W loss.

Go Tank!!

 

[Stokes1931]

W's battling the Clips. The Warriors' starters have a total 3 assists towards the end of the 3rd quarter?!?!? Tank, indeed.

I don't even think the Warriors are favorites anymore in the NOH game. Eric Gordon is back and likely will play if he continues his health. Good news for us.
