1 L separates 4th place Portland & 7th place San Antonio.

Unless the Spurs get banged up again I don't think there is any doubt that they finish 3rd

 

[Wishbone]

Thunder are bending the Clippers over. I'm sure nobody is wanting this team to make the playoffs.

Are you really bragging about beating the Clippers without Blake?

Thunder even with KD have not looked scary. Can't see them getting out of the first round if they play GSW, Memphis, or SAS which are the likely match-ups at this point

 

[Wishbone]

I would love the matchup with GS. Look I love Blake but he would not made a difference today. Okc was without Perkins and Morrow too. IF they make the playoffs a healthy Durant-Westbrook-Ibaka is as good as anyone. I just don't want another Memphis matchup.

 

[bksballer89]

Ibaka is very inconsistent and is now basically a shooting guard.

GSW probably would be the best match-up for them out of those 3 teams but still think GSW win in 6 or 7 games

Morrow and Perkins? And lol@ Blake not making a difference.

Stan van gundy: "Warriors are clear cut favorites".."I dont think they will lose more than a game in any series
" the other western playoff teams 2 thru 8 are about equal with each other.."

Warriors will lose 2 games in round 1.

I also don't think GSW is that much better than Memphis or SAS to make such a ridiculous statement.

The only team I can see them actually beating in 5 is probably Houston, Dallas, & maybe the Clippers

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

GSW has nightmarish problems with SA. The SPurs have their number over the years.


Sure, it is a new year. And GSW can obviously beat anyone.
But, SA has been 1000 times over the worst possible team the Warriors can think of playing.
They only met once this season and the Spurs kicked the crap out of them on their home court.


The Warriors are better now no doubt about it.
They might annihilate SA in the remaining regular season games, but I doubt they can beat them in 5 games or less with equal rest and days off.

We won't know until they play. Simple as that

I could kinda see the Suns but I'm assuming OKC make the playoffs

Okc really haven't convinced me that they will make the playoffs yet. We will see

 

[bksballer89]

I can't see any team beating a healthy Spurs or OKC team in 5

Durant & Westbrook are good enough for 2 games at least.

The only team if I'm thinking correctly to beat them in 5 or less when both were healthy was the Heat in the finals.

Yeah a year ago I agree lol

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah a year ago I agree lol

I still agree now.

Those 2 when they're really going can give you 75-80 points alone and one of them can drop 40 or 50 in another game.

They have a great home court advantage and 2 superstars. Hard to picture any team in basketball beating them in 5.

Not saying anyone would beat them in 5. Just that they aren't as good as last year. More OKC then anything

 

[TDs3nOut]

Atlanta at Memphis about to tip off in a few minutes. Should be a good one.

They have a terrible coach and Ibaka turned into a shooting guard so I agree they're not as good as last year
