    I know this is a rockets fan.. but can we just speculate a more dream match up then warriors drawing out the thunder in the first round.. I know warriors might just win.. but the best chance to knock them out would be a pissed off Thunder playing a pissed of warriors.. Even though they are fifth place they are one loss behind 7th and 8th place.. they still have to play the spurs, rockets and nuggets which can be losses.. Pelicans and Heat are also tough games, and they play warriors on April 3rd so Durant and Klay may be back by then.. Just an interesting thougt...

    Praying for Thunder / Warriors. If they pass... Blazers are there 2nd round.

    Need the Warriors to get tired for once in the first two rounds.

    dream scenario is OKC in the 1st round with no Curry, and then Portland in the 2nd round

    I would love it if Portland draws Jazz as 3rd vs 6th and GS draws OKC.. it could happen but I am thinking OKC would end up 4th or 5th... I still think Kerr will be an indiot and try to bring Durant and Klay back sooner then later because he doesn't want to risk losing home court to both Houston and Toronto.. these last 8 games will have alot of intrigue but as far as rox are concern its nice to look from the top..

    Actually, the Jazz as the #7 seed would be hard for the Warriors as well. That team has been killing it!

    I still can't believe that there is a slight possibility that SA or OKC could wind up out of the playoffs. 4-10 is THAT close

    Right now, they would be playing Minnesota.

    I know they have fallen off some, but if Butler came back, even that could be a pretty tough matchup.

    IMO, 3-9 are all close enough that it doesn't really matter who GSW or we play. They would all present a challenge on some level, although both us and GSW would be favored in any matchup against those teams

    they’ll luck out and get either Minnesota or Pels. They should get pass either of them in 6 games tops

    GSW is not having much luck this year. The worst possible match up could happen.

    I doubt it.. Jazz are 22-4 in the last 26 games, and have beaten teams pretty handily.. at this point i think all the remaining teams schedule are on the tough side besides minnesota, who seem to have a much easier remaining schedule.. I still hope to get nuggets or twolves..

    this could be Russ's ultimate revenge.. he craves on story lines, and he is like a prowling tiger, attacking the greatest team while they are the most vulnerable.. I am sure its in the back of his mind.. But still Warriors are like a wounded lion and they are probably still pretty dangerous.

    Nothing to do with the question, just wanted to say Jazz are kicking the Warriors butts right now

    Makes me happy

    We just want whoever doesnt have a big physical center. That's our kryptonite in terms of making us work for every basket.
