I think that Denver last 7 games will be all road games so its gonna be tough for them to get the last playoff spot.

A total of 9 road games on which some of them are dominant teams. And for a total 14 remaining games Im seeing that 10 teams here will be tough for them so I chances of getting playoff spot for them has really low chance "as of now".

It's also been a first time to me to see that San Antonio Spurs is fighting for the bottom playoffs spot. It's not possible to win all of their remaining games but competing with Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers (surely they will be eliminated), New Orleans Pelicans, Minnesota Timberwolves, LA Clippers, Utah Jazz , at least they can have a chance to seal a playoffs spot. Greg Popovich playoffs appearance streak is one of the longest in the league so it's quiet regrettable to see that no more playoffs appearance to them.

Really a big changed.

Lots of us do really noticed such changes and same as yours this is the first time i do see Spurs striving for the bottom slot.I didnt expect for this strong team to have such hardship.Talking about on remaining teams i can say that i dont really have any hopes that they would able to pass through but who knows the ball is circle and might able to see unexpected things. Cool

lets see how they will be able to handle the nuggets inside their land and fulfill their wish to go the next round

The Los Angeles Lakers won this match. Congratulations to them and the next match is also another interesting match up with Golden State Warriors. But of course the crowd favorite would be GSW and not Lakers. I'm very excited for the play offs on who will be the deciding teams that will remain the league.

Good win by the Lakers, The lost will hurt the Denver team because they are now bunch in pack for the last spot at the already crowded Western Conference. They have a good lead only to evaporate at the end of third quarter and Lakers use this momentum to take the lead for good. Its a revenge win for the Lakers.

I think that Denver last 7 games will be all road games so its gonna be tough for them to get the last playoff spot.

I like Lakers tonight revenge game

They are playing at their hope court and both team has still a chance to make it to the playoffs, I think it's a hard fight tonight.
With that being said, I am expecting a non usual scoring which is a low scoring game, it's all about the defense tonight.

They are still holding and they are showing some good fight, lets see how they will be able to handle the nuggets inside their land and fulfill their wish
to go the next round, thomas and the rest of the team needs to step up and keep fighting to win this important game for them and for the fans.

Chris paul could very well be the x factor for the rockets this season and here's a big chance they'll be the ones challlenging the warriors for the west. Though i'm not counting out the spurs just yet and if they mamage to make the playoffs they'll probably test if this year's rockets is for real.

Yes, as I said before. Chris Paul will be a great help. His shooting percentage have been tremendous ever since he went on Houston Rockets.
3 point field goals also increased.
Just look at the stats of him when they played with Dallas.
30 minutes - 24 points 4/7 3 pointers with a freaking 12 assists. That is one hell of a game.
A great help indeed and also good with defense unlike Harden.
That could be the hole of Houston, Hardens defense although Ariza and Paul can coat this with switch.

The defense is quite improving for this team but what I see now is they have a good facilitator who can score as well when needed.
Rockets is one of the hottest team right now and I believe their backers are increasing so expect a good fight to whichever team they will meet in the playoffs.

Kinda agree here. Hope that Chris Paul will changed the usual behaviour of James Harden especially during the turning point game every playoffs. They have a big chance last year against the healthy San Antonio Spurs but I can't forget what Harden did during that last game.

Damian Lillard fantastic game against Miami last night.

Lillard have a monster performance on that game. 21 points in second half only and currently leading all players in the league as most scorer after halftime. And you know what, Lillard now enters the MVP race list meaning his performance is improving game by game. Portland Trail Blazers now enjoying their 10 game winning streak.

Damian Lillard fantastic game against Miami last night. Really surprised by Brandon Jennings, it’s almost funny how he made his debut return to the NBA.

GSW without Curry will suffer and will need to adapt, although one player doesn't mean the team HAS to perform worse he definitely had a huge impact carrying GSW.

Of course the warriors will suffer definitely without Steph curry , do not forget the first game at Auckland in the conference finals against San Antonio spurs when the spurs were devastating the warriors right before that stupid injury of kawhi when zaza steps on his foot . After that the series was over as every body saw . You can imagine if kawhi is healthy and curry is missing the playoffs and they meet again . I still not imagine the warriors pass-through the spurs in this case , do not forget the rockets who are definitely more favorite in this case .

Not a hardcore Golden State Warriors fan here but that game just prove that San Antonio Spurs is just a Kawhi Leonard team. Can't imagined they didn't able to maintained that lead 20+. And moving on to that, I don't considered San Antonio Spurs as a threat now on the West and the best candidate here now is the Houston Rockets but like I said in the previous page, if only James Harden will not choked this time. Well that is based on my observation as a long time NBA enthusiast.

Golden State Warriors are composed of role players so definitely they will not "suffer" like you are saying. Chances of losing is always possible as upset always happened but for the suffer thing, I doubt it will happened.

The spurs have lost the game against Houston in the first eight.

They have already won 50 games in 20 consecutive seasons.

They won't win 50 games this year, and they're going to make the playoffs!

GSW without Curry will suffer and will need to adapt, although one player doesn't mean the team HAS to perform worse he definitely had a huge impact carrying GSW.

Golden State Warriors isn't only about Stephen Curry. There are plays that he's good and there are matches that he's not playing well. Most of the players aren't consistent and there are timings that we can see they are lucky plus the good performance. Don't look at GSW as Stephen Curry team, you are missing the other important players who are contributing well to the team.

I agree with you, the team is no longer focus with Curry alone, it was already a super team where each individuals can perform and contribute to win a match, but playing against Minnesota is really a tough match as the opponents really in need of winning each game that they've left to make sure some
place in the next round, we will see more good games while the season is nearing to playoffs period.

This is why GSW fans are surprised when their favorite team is losing. NBA is not about GSW only, Cavs only or Rockets only or any favorite team. Every team and players are inconsistent and as I've said a team isn't only about a superstar. He might be popular for his team for showing a blast performance but don't forget it's a 5v5 match not a 1v5.

Only die hard fans of GSW are going to be surprise when they are losing specially when Curry is out. Although you are correct that its not about superstars but sometimes its more of a mental or psychological thing for the rest of the players. When their top man is injured sometimes they lose focus because at the back of their minds they think that the game could have been in their if their superstar is around.

But there's still KD and Klay who can lift them up. And that injury is not that bad either and I think that Curry will be back in time for the playoffs.

Yes I'm talking to those die hard fans and only looking to their idol and just ignoring the whole teams performance. They don't realize what is team work and they are only amazed with the play only of Curry and not with other members of the team. Klay and KD is also one of the greatest contributor of GSW and they are ignored by die hard Curry fans.

They are already guaranteed to enter in the playoffs so I think the coaching staff are really thinking of not stressing Curry too much
as they have a big fight in the playoffs and they want to win that championship again.
It does not matter if they will not have the home court advantage, as long as they are all healthy, they are still the favorites to win.

-While in Eastern Conference almost everything is decided:
1)Toronto 2)Boston 3)Cleveland with Washington, Philadelphia, Indiana, Miami and Milwaukee practically already qualified for Playoffs

-In Western Conference instead there is great competition:
Houston and Golden State are fighting for the first place, and then there are 6 teams fighting for the last 4 places useful for the Playoffs: San Antonio,Oklahoma,Utah Jazz,Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota,Denver.
For me it will come in first position Golden State, and will qualify for the Playoffs: San Antonio,Utah Jazz,Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma

There are only 17 games left to end this NBA regular season. For me, Upon reviewing the Western Conference standing I believe that even the Spurs is in 5th seed they will not make the playoffs and also with the LA Clippers which is the 8th place right now.

This is my prediction for Western Playoff Match-Up:
1. Rockets
2. Warriors
3. Timberwolves
4. Jazz
5. Pelicans
6. Blazers
7. Thunder &
8. Nuggets

Reason why Spurs and Clippers will not make Playoffs: Check their remaining games.

Well i don't expect much from the clippers now anyways and la would probably be better represented now by the lakers. But i'm not counting the spurs off just yet. Pop knows hus team's situation and if there's a team to pull out of a tight situation, its the spurs

My prediction is doing right. San Antonio Spurs in currently in number 10 in the west. This is because Spurs got a 3 in a row losing. No help from Kahwi "The Klaw" Leonard.
