re: Wild West Playoffs Thread 04/28 - NOP @ GSW - Game 1 - 04/28 9:30 ET on TNT #StillFlockin

The top 4 seeds in the West COLLECTIVELY have 3 losses in their last 40 games. One each for the Warriors, Blazers, and Pels.

Wow

this might be my favorite running graphic...NBAMath's TPA very closely mirrors wins/losses

Schedule down the stretch is brutal.

I see 4-6. Don't see us being able to get 3rd. Just too many games in a short amount of time.

Pretty sure z bo has killed us this year.

Z-Bo has rubbed his nuts all over our face in our last 2 rested home games against them.

12/8 @NO - ZBo: 35/10
1/30 @NO - Zbo: 26/12

Koufos killed us in that last game too with 17/17. Hopefully with Mek's rebounding/defense in the fold that changes.

kings cant afford a win tonite...i have no idea why they are playing ZBO at all. actually i have no idea what they are doing generally speaking

in any event, WCS is out, Skal may be out.
kings are 29th in both ORTG & DRTG

He sat last game vs the Knicks, but Skal was playing. I think they have to play him tonight, but hopefully they limit his minutes in order to get a look at one of their two way guys or Bruno. Kings have gone on the road and beat us last 2 games also. I hope they tank, but we can't look past them.

from an SI story about playoff realignment

Remarkably, if current winning percentages hold, 2018 will be the fourth time in the last five seasons that the West has posted the league’s top-two records. And, if both the Warriors (+8.5) and Rockets (+8.8) beat out the Raptors (+8.7) in point differential, it will mark the fifth straight season the West has possessed the league’s two most dominant regular-season teams.

Let's go Pacers!

Jazz are playing well. They probably will win this straight up

Utah up 54-44 at half

Indy is 1-14 from 3 tonight. They have to start falling at some point right? Why not the 4th?
