With 8 Games left, the Warriors are only 3 games back. It may be a stretch, but its not totally out of the question. What do you guys think?
About a month ago I predicted the warriors would finish at 38 wins. And I don't think anyone took me seriously. Although it still may not happen, the warriors have to go undefeated for that to happen. But its amazing my predition still has a chance. I think that its possible, the lakers look to be on total freefall. It would be sweet though.
At this point the only game the Lakers should win is against Portland. Their schedule the rest of the way is brutal. @Seattle, @Sacramento, Phoenix, Sacramento, Dallas, @GSW, @Portland I don't see the Lakers winning any games against those teams headed towards the playoffs. The Warriors have vastly improved, and even before B. Diddy's arrival, the Lakers always struggled against the Warriors. Even the road game in Portland is no sure thing. The Lakers could easily lost their next 7 games and get caught by the Warriors.
Well, Lakers were 1-9 and we were 9-1. So, with that ratio, we should be ahead of Lakers. But then, last two games, we just basically sleep walked, and I won't be surprised if we get killed by Suns today. Besides, as brutal as Lakers' remaining season is, Warriors also have tough schedule ahead, so who knows . Mmm... The game against Lakers, Warriors may decide to put all players on IL and select 5 people from the stand for better ping pong ball ...
