1st round Playoffs, Who do Dubs match up best against?

[NBKLee]

Who would you like them to play?

As the 6th seed, they'll play the Rockets which is a bad matchup for them. Any first round matchup will be tough, be it San Antonio, OKC or the Rockets which are the three choices.

Yeah like there's no chance the Clippers pass them being only 1/2 game back, or the Blazers 2 back.

They can beat any of the likely 3, 4, and 5 seeds, they really can. And to me all 3 are about equal, as their records indicate. Portland doesn't play good D and so I think the Ws match up best w them. It'll be the Clippers or Rockets IMO.

LOL! I'd love to hear the scenario your simple little mind came up with where the Warriors would play the 5 seed.

Clippers are who I want to play. It's destined to happen

Oh man you look bad not understanding that post. Simple reading comp error, there for eternity.

Portland is the best matchup, by far. Clippers are a decent matchup (maybe 50-50). All the others are bad. Believe it or not I would rather have them play OKC than Houston or San Antonio.

We will see how Houston's play translates into the postseason

Nice dodge!

Read it again, and look at the standings to see 3 teams clumped together that will be the 3, 4, and 5 seeds. The Ws can beat any of those 3 teams, no matter which one is the 3, or 4, or 5.

This is all the help I'm giving you, it's kind of sad you need it.

He should be banned for simply being a Ricardo Cabeza.

I think they end up with the six seed, facing the Clips in the first round.

That's a series they can win. After that, it's OKC or the Spurs; no shame in a second round exit in the West.

He looks bad anytime he's drawing breath....goes with the Richard Cranium territory.

I tend to agree. It's become pretty clear since before the ASB it would be OKC or SA vs Mia or Indy in the Finals. Obviously there's a chance of something else but that chance is pretty low. In the NBA there aren't many playoff surprises, the best teams tend to win, the Finals teams are usually the 1 or 2 seeds, etc.

Aside from rooting for the Ws to prove me wrong, I just want to see a different matchup than last yr Mia vs SA. I think I'd like to see the NBA's choice: Mia (James) vs OKC (Durant). Look for the refs to make that matchup happen if they can.

Oh. I get it now.

Derp derp derp.

I'm with many of you: hoping that they somehow get to face the Blazers, a team I'd predict they'd beat in a seven game series. I think they'd have little chance of beating The Rockets (big, athletic) or OKC (too many weapons). A Clips series would be very competitive, but I think the Clips" depth would eventually wear us down.

Spurs? I always underestimate their team play. That said, the Ws are better this year than last, and we scared the bejesus out of them last year.

1. Blazers: win in 6.
2. Clips/Spurs: Competitive, probably lose in 6, but you never know.

3. Rockets/Thunder: lose in 6.

All signs pretty much point to a one and done for the Warriors this year. The possible opponents are all very tough.

We will see. I don't think that's exactly true

Dubs, Bogut/JO have done a good job bottling up D12, when the game slows down I like our chances vs them, unless Harden gets 100 FT's a game
