PHEW, it was a MUST HAVE WIN. The good news first. KLAY with 7 3pters 2-nite, leads league with 285 3pters, widens his lead over HIELD who is second with 274. Interestingly, STEPH, with his 7 3pters 2-nite, is at 257, 17 3pters behind HIELD. With 4 games left, it would not surprise me if STEPH runs down HIELD...lol
THE BAD NEWS. LOLAKERS win moves them to 7th place, right behind the DUBS who stay at 6th, as the CLIPS are tied with them after their loss, both teams with 41-37 records.
If anyone thinks it's conspiratorial to think the Western Conference is doing everything they can to make the Warriors drop in the standings... you're silly. For an entire era of the NBA Steph, Klay, and Dray have won 100% of playoff series they've been healthy in. Getting the Warriors out of the playoffs is probably the single thing that increases chip chances most for every other team in the West.
It would be weird if they weren't strategizing for it.
Looking at every team's remaining schedule, Warriors really need to go 3-1 down the stretch here and get to 44-38. Going 2-2 could definitely drop them to the play-in because they lose tiebreaks to everyone.
Lakers - 39-38, probably gonna go 4-1.
Pels - 39-38, tough stretch, probably 3-2 at best.
T-Wolves - 39-39, could easily go 4-0.
Clippers have a tough stretch, too, could definitely go 2-2, drop to 43-39 as well.
A little post-game space for you to stretch out a bit

Nuggets down only 4
I hope our guys bring their big boy pants and bottled up joy on Sunday because Nuggets aren't sitting their starters against us.
While I don't think the Nuggets will win, I'm surprised to see the Suns struggle to put away the Nuggets tonight.
Bruh keep your 5th spot Clippers can have KD. I'll take the Cowbellers. They ain't seen defense like Warrior playoff defense.
Best home records in the NBA:
Memphis: 34-6
Denver: 32-7
Warriors: 32-8
Milwaukee: 30-8
Cleveland: 30-9
Nice to see Wiggins, um, I mean Kuminga get his nightly 17 points.
Last 2 seasons we finished with 6 and 5-game win streaks. If we somehow win out, it would be a 6-game streak.
We went 4 games above 500, we went 4 games above 500, we went...
YAAAAH - for the FIRST TIME THIS SEASON!

Kerr, are you SURE that you should be starting DDV over GP2? Are you SURE that Curry/GP2/Klay/Draymond/Looney isn't the best lineup that you have?
I get it though, there really isn't enough time left in the season to gather data on it to be sure of anything.
