Check out the remaining schedules of Dallas, Golden State and Denver...the teams are in the race for the 7th and 8th position in the playoffs and are seperated by only 1 game...Dallas leads, Golden State is a half game back and Denver is on the outside looking in 1 game back from Dallas and a half game back from the 8th seed overall. Lets see how this could play out. Denver Nuggets remaining schedule: Golden State W @Phoenix L Phoenix W Sacremento W @Seattle W @ LA Clippers W @ Golden State L @ Utah L Houston W Memphis W 7-3 JP predicted record: 51-31 7th Seed Dallas Mavericks remaining schedule @ Golden State L @ LA Clippers W Golden State W @ LA Lakers L @ Phoenix L Seattle W Utah L @ Portland W @ Seattle W New Orleans L 5-5 JP predicted record 50-32 8th Seed Golden State Warriors remaining schedule @ Denver L Dallas W @ San Antonio L @ Dallas L @ Memphis W @ New Orleans L Sacremento W Denver W LA Clippers W @ Phoenix L Seattle W 6-5 JP predicted record 50-32 Out of Playoffs Meaning we'd still get this year's pick...it just be as low a possible for a Western Conference playoff team...possibly as low as the 20th pick...adding that to our pick which realistically is going to be the 11th pick and we have the chance to do some damage in the draft...
20th pick is pretty solid. Last year we had a bad year and we only managed the 17th pick. Also, Boone and Marcus were found in early twenties so definately could turn into something.
im praying to god that they make the playoffs this year. hopefully the window will be shut in the next couple years so we can get an unprotected pick.
