    not sitting anyone. they don't deserve rest. and we can't afford to rest AR.

    Shameful effort from a shameful coach and a shameful leader.

    Denver is really a terrible road team. When Jokic isn't 100% they are very beatable.

    enjoy 6th place temporarily. GS is still playing OKC and probably comes out on top.

    OKC is scrappy, but GS will win this one and bump us to 7th for today.

    Warriors won. So we're back to 7th.

    We still should try to win tomorrow....don't leave it to chance playing against the Suns/Jazz and potentially losing those games and ending up in the play-in.

    We need to keep winning until we've secured a spot.

    Updated standings. C'mon guys, finish strong. We have won 7 of 8, and wrap up with some challenging games down the stretch.

    Phoenix's last few games. Notice we are playing them on the 2nd game of a back to back for them.

    I think momentum wise we can't afford to just punt a game...not with the Suns as our next game.

    We could potentially go for 5th...If we don't? It could cause us to be 7/8th seed and in the play-in because I could see us dropping 2 straight if we lose tomorrow. Knowing our luck...Suns will play all their guys against us on Friday.

    We absolutely cannot lose any games as long as GS doesn’t lose one first. Otherwise we’re likely finishing 7th.

    Ugh, the Clippers are going to be playing as if their lives depend on the next game and in some ways it's true. We had OT, played Lebron and AD way too many minutes to squeak out a W and now a back to back after getting in late from Utah. Not a great set up for us.

    Not a great set up for us at all. At all! Lebron and AD played too many mins in the win today against Utah. I suspect they sit and we punt this game against the Tenants.
    Hope I'm wrong, but I'm not in touch with the medical staff. Maybe both superstars sit and Mo Bamba comes back and, together with AR and maybe Beastley bombin', like 8 3s, we beat the Clips. Also: I'd love to see Brick go 4 for 15 from the field with 7 TOs, which would be poetic justice.

    Forget matchups... We're guaranteed at least a spot in the Play In now...
    I wasn't sure that was possible 2 Months ago...!!!

    Kings might try to beat the Warriors to not deal with the defending champs for 7 games with Wiggins around

    Kings can also still get to #2 if they win their last 3 and the Grizzlies lose their last 3. Kings are @Dallas, vs. GSW and @ Denver. Grizzlies are @NOP, @ MIL and @OKC. It seems unlikely, but still possible. If the Kings beat Dallas and the Grizzlies lose to the Pelicans tonight, I think the Kings play that Friday game against the Warriors seriously although they may know if the Grizzlies have wrapped up #2 against the Bucks by the time it starts.
