Just saw this quote: Once we get in the playoffs, I’m not playing just to be there. I’m playing to win it all. That’s how we all need to be thinking, regardless of what everybody else thinks. We’re going to get in there and compete. I’m not getting in there to accept going to the first round and losing. That’s not why I’m there.#amen #ripcity #dametime
That only way you think that your going to win it all. Everybody record is 0-0 now do I think they win it all no but if they play the clippers I it will be a good series.
Warriors are playing historically great and finally healthy; no thanks. Spurs would beat us with meticulous slow helpless death and see LaMarcus possibly sweep us, no thanks again. Would ruin half the fun of this team just making it to the playoffs. I've moved past that storyline, it would be unpleasant to continuously rehash those narratives in round 1. I'd rather play either of the other two teams no question. Thunder have physically imposing players from big centers to an insanely athletic PG. Clippers seem to be the easiest opponent of the four by default; but they are still going to be massive favorites. If we can get the series to Portland for a game 6 I'll be happy; give us a chance on our home floor to be in a position to force a winner takes all game. CJ might get hot and drop 40 in a game when they overplay Dame. Should be a fun series win or lose. If we have any hope of luring Durant as a free agent it would be better to not face his team in the playoffs. Unlikely but when we're splitting hairs talking about opponents it makes the long list of advantages. I'm not really sure what Dame's point of saying he wants to win it all accomplishes; but you don't want a team just happy to be in the playoffs with no thoughts of believing they deserve to be in the dance. Maybe that's what he wants out there.
Definitely? Warriors have only lost 9 games. You think winning 4 of them would be easier? And SA hasn't lost at home.
I don't expect to beat the Clippers in a series, but the other three are even tougher. And I am ok with that. This year was meant to be a year of player development, and I think being in the playoffs helps with that. Even if they lose.
Hell naw. Your kidding me right? Look even ME wouldn't say that. Clippers are actually decent draw. Warriors would demolish us, Spurs would just fuck with us THEN demolish us Thunder ahhhhh they'll beat us pretty easily but that's a lot better draw than the first two. I still remember the two games we played there the game was over by the end of the 1st Q Clippers on the other hand are a vulnerable group. Griffin is just now coming back and their chemistry might be a little off, although we could be just good practice for them. But I still think the Clips are a decent draw that anything could happen
Good call. We play the clips pretty evenly actually. We have the beat chance against then out of the top 4 seeds. That's why they are 4th.
