A short while ago I wrote a post about how I could mostly tell if Klay's shots were going to go in based on the form. let me share with you how that went against Utah. Format: my prediction-result.
Porter with some huge rebounds down the stretch, as is now routine. Poole and Klay making big shots. Andre's hands are still magical. And a little bit of luck to finish it off for a great comeback.
It would be nice to not get behind 21 in the first half, but for playing without Steph I guess I'll show it.
The Warriors need to keep winning, I’d hate to drop below 4th. But no Klay, Dray, Andre, or Porter for Sacramento? Wiggy, Looney, Poole, Kuminga and GP2 starting, with Moody, Bjeli, Lee and JTA off the bench …
Why are April 9th and 10th games' start times TBD?
Us, Jazz, Nuggets and Mavs all have a game on April 10th.
If we wanted to finagle a seeding that gives us first round against Jazz, having last game among the four would be best. Alas we will be @Pels and we will not get the last game.
It definitely seems like the Jazz will blow it up this summer and trade one of Mitchell or Gobert (probably Rudy). Their relationship doesn't seem to be the warmest, and they haven't had the success to justify the acrimony like a Shaq/Kobe.
1+ W by us or 1+ L by Jazz (vs/@ Grizz, Thunder, Blazers, Suns) - We will have seed #5 or better
2+ Ws by us or 2+ Ls by Nuggets or 1+ W by us AND 1+ L by Nuggets (vs/@ Lakers, Spurs, Grizz, Lakers), we will have seed #4 or better
3+ Ws by us or 3+ Ls by Mavs or 2+ Ws by us AND 1+ L by Mavs or 1+ W by us AND 2+ Ls by Mavs (vs/@ Bucks, Pistons, Blazers, Spurs), we will have seed #3
Don't you ever tell me that the Warriors would have lost to the Jazz in the playoffs last season, there's nothing you can say that will change my mind on that. Love watching Gobert get exposed by a smallball team, both the Clippers and Warriors have the personnel to make him a liability defensively when needed.
Regarding this season, this is a different team at home. They aren't a good team without Curry but it happening right before a tough 5 game road trip with Draymond still working into shape made them look worse than they are. That said, I do not want them to get the 3 seed. Hoping the Mavericks can beat the Bucks and the Warriors can drop a few and settle into the 4 seed.
Also, hope this game reminded people that no, they should not be running offense through Kuminga instead of Klay Freaking Thompson.

1st half:
yup-make, nope-miss,nope-miss ...
2nd Half:
nope-make, yup-make, nope-make ...
I’m so ready for the gold blooded recap of the playoff clinching comeback against the Jazz…

Tomorrow, if we win (SEGABABA @ Kings) and Nuggets (@Lakers) loose, we would have secured 1st round HCA.

N+ = N or more
Our games = Kings, Lakers, Spurs, Pels
1+ W by us or 1+ L by Jazz (vs/@ Grizz, Thunder, Blazers, Suns) - We will have seed #5 or better
2+ Ws by us or 2+ Ls by Nuggets or 1+ W by us AND 1+ L by Nuggets (vs/@ Lakers, Spurs, Grizz, Lakers), we will have seed #4 or better
3+ Ws by us or 3+ Ls by Mavs or 2+ Ws by us AND 1+ L by Mavs or 1+ W by us AND 2+ Ls by Mavs (vs/@ Bucks, Pistons, Blazers, Spurs), we will have seed #3
Any other combinations?
I think most likely we will have #4 seed
Would love to see wiggins instead of klay in those iggy gp2 beli lineups, he’s much better with a stretch five and it would force him to be aggressive

Klay on Rudy Gobert's decision to keep dropping in defensive coverage and not challenge Warriors at perimeter: "That’s not very smart."
Ice cream of joy tastes so much better than ice cream of sadness. Got to watch part of the 4th on NBA TV. I sure enjoyed what I saw.
Also a big hearty fuck you to Coach K for starting Duke alumnus Kyrie Irving over Steph Curry at the 2014 FIBA World Cup. People don't forget.
Enjoy your retirement tour being ruined by losing your two most important games of the season to your most hated rival.
Draymond was fired up tonight, that was great to see.
Sorry everyone, it's a girl! All the Warriors naming plans were for naught.
Jordan Klay Perkins was going to be special.

Also Daniel’s gonna lose his mind when he sees that first tweet Duby put up in the thread
