Warriors do look like they may have some trouble and if they do not end up doing better then they are going to end up missing the playoffs. To be fair they are at a stage where they could start being bad too, people are expecting way too much from them. Imagine a team that is doing this much, it is really important to realize that you are not going to end up with anything that would be crazy, it should be as normal as it gets and not have anything that will change in the end.
They are in trouble right now, their game against the Wolves is very important and they let that one slip away. Obviously it will put a lot of pressures from them to win their next game otherwise another L and a win by the Rockets will give them the same record and there are a lot of remaining games that might change and switch their position.
I hope the Rockets will drop either Lakers or GSW inside the top 10.
I just want fresh teams for a change. OKC, Sacramento and Twolves are also inexperienced teams in the playoffs and they might fall in the first round against these veteran teams.
I can feel the struggle at the moment for the Warriors. They're 4-6 in the last 10 games and lost their last 2 games. 12 more games remaining and it is very crucial for the Warriors. The bad news is that the Warriors are on the road in 8 of their last 12 games.
Still possible to happen, if Warriros continue struggling while Rockets seems to find the right blends, they might earn the last spot and snatch the play-in chance from the Warriors, no offense but it's really showing something is missing with the Warriors their usual attack for the game still present but the executions seems having a difficulty to convert, their offense to play as also their defense is not working anymore, with big and flexible players who can go bakc to the defense quickly they are having difficulty to convert their game plan.
Well, at least the Clippers are still safe in the 5th spot, but they will have to win some games to secure that and go to the playoffs without running into a play-in tournament. Because the Kings, Mavs, and Suns are just behind them with 2 wins difference. They have to be careful with the Mavs because they are playing awesome games in the last few game. 4th winning streak.
Yup, those teams behind them are aiming to secure the playoff spot, they need to win games and not to let those teams who are trying to catch up snatch that position from them, it's nice to see how the top 6,7,and 8 spot are trying everything not to be in the bad spot.
