Way over thinking. I'm waiting for the hammer to fall kind of talk. Looking over my shoulder for what is following me and scared of the dark.....

I apologize that really should not have been directed at your comment.
I kind of was directing it at everyone looking for trades. You simply caught the ire.

Like i said. I apologize.

(ESPN Insider) Playoff projections: Most likely and most exciting first-round matchups

(1) Golden State Warriors vs. (8) Portland Trail Blazers

All signs point to the road through the West once again going through Oracle Arena. After opening the season with an 81 percent chance of claiming the No. 1 seed, those chances have since ballooned to 97 percent as the Warriors have a four-game lead over Houston as we enter the second half of the season. This is the unprecedented fourth straight season the Warriors own the NBA's best record through 41 games, which according to Elias Sports Bureau research, is something no other team has done since the NBA went to an 82-game schedule in 1967-68. There's not much suspense here.

Golden State's projected first-round opponent is Portland, a team it has met each of the past two postseasons, including a sweep in last year's first round. The Blazers are actually a good test case for using BPI rather than current standings to project opponents.

Currently fifth in the West and 3.5 games up on the ninth-place Clippers, a quick look at the standings might reveal a likely first-round matchup with San Antonio. And while that certainly could still shake out, it ignores the fact that Portland plays the NBA's second-hardest schedule from this point forward, among other things. Though BPI likes the Blazers' chances of making it to the playoffs (82 percent), it also thinks they are more likely to finish as the No. 8 seed than the No. 6 seed.

Given that we have been winning the "hard" games, I don't think our schedule will hurt us. I expect 46-48 wins and that's at least 6 seed.

Not so sure. He is in shooting form. If they mess with him it's AND ONE!

OKC's entire starting lineup: "But coach, you said to keep an eye on the ball."

 

[AFully22]

OKC lost again and are now 8th in the West lol. I’m convinced it’s Westbrook.

 

[Labinot41]

Markkanen is so good. Nba should have a lot more euro players

Lou Williams and a cast of undrafted G-Leaguers beat the Warriors in Oakland.

They have three players that demand double teams. They should have good looks all over the floor. HCP, lol.

Playoffs is now just a dream for Warriors. Not a chance they will make it. They are trash.

It would absolutely shock me if they made playoffs at this point. I mean..CJ Williams? Tyrone Wallace? Those guys went OFF on the Warriors. Take KD, Curry, Klay, Draymond, and Iggy off that team and they win maybe 8 games in a season. No depth.

Oh man, that's really well done. That last sentence may be the best you've ever done.

 

[KingSpeed]

If they are, who (of the current top 8) isn't?

 

[Strenuus]

no.

The Drain would be either an awesome wrestling heel, or an even better 70's punk band.
