5 wins =Playoffs

by gabezgsw on Apr 3, 2008 10:16 AM PDT

Nothing we say will make the Dubs make the playoffs. The Dubs have to make that happen with their desire to win, but with a little investigation and some help from my bookie buddies, I have a very strong feeling the Dubs will make the Playoffs again for the second straight year. Here's why.

The Dubs are ONLY 1 game behind Denver!

There are 7 games left for the Dubs, Nuggets and Mavs.

In all reality we have the softest schedule out of the 3 teams.

Both Dallas and the Nuggets have 4 games on the road and 3 at home. The opposite for the Dubs.

We will beat Denver when we play them at the Roaracle.

The Mavs have to play 4 power house teams while the Dubs and Nuggets only play 3.

The Nuggets have a 4 game road trip which includes GS and Utah for the last of the 4 games (ouch for them).

The Mavs will lose to The Lakers, Phoenix, Utah and NO based on the fact they're 1-10 vs. teams over .500 in their last 11 tries.

The Nuggets will lose to The Dubs, Utah and Houston 2 of which are on the road.

The Nuggets have a beat up Nene and Marcus Camby at the moment.

The Dubs always seem to pull it out when their back is against the wall-well it's now that time!

After looking at the schedules, I truly believe that if we win 5 out of our last 7 we will be in. If we win 6 out of our last 7 we will be in. If we win 7 out of 7 we will be in.

The Dubs will get to the Playoffs although its gonna take a lot of TUMS and a lot of faith. I believe, do you?

not so sure

I know it;s fashoinable to have som blind faith, but to expect miracles is not really my game. Consider:

We lose the tie breaker with Denver (Dallas, too), so we're actually 2 games behind.

Denver has the easier schedule. They can get to 51 wins without any real upsets.

It appears that we need 52 wins

We would have to go 7-0.

That includes wins AT New Orleans and Phoenix.

Of course your bookie is making you optimistic. He's your freakin' bookie!

how do we...

lose the tiebreaker w/Denver? The Conference schedules aren't done - each team has seven games remaining.

Um.

I think I explained this to you before. A couple of times.

We have the same number of games remaining, all against conference teams.

The better question is, why do you think our conference records in the event of a tie is a variable?

IF WE TIE, Denver beats us in a head-to-head, same as with Dallas. Look at the records and ponder it.

How do we...

already lose a head to head w/ Denver when we play them next Thursday??

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.

Because

The best we can do is tie them in head-to-head record.

And the second tiebreaker after head-to-head record is conference record.

And they have a better conference record than we do. By two games.

We're one game behind them now, so if we tie them, we'll still be a game behind them in conference record, no matter which specific games we win or lose.

Make sense? I know, it sucks... ;-(

ugh

all this talking could of stopped if somebody didnt delete my diary on tie breakers.

What you thought that I only played basketball? I AM A Golden State WARRIOR!

I think we can go 5-2

But we still need a god damn miracle. I feel sick.

i love the optimism

I love the optimism... Let's hope the Memphis game ignites a spark and the team plays like there is NO TOMORROW.

But realistically speaking what it comes down to is that the Warriors will be dependent on whether Denver or Dallas falter down the stretch of remaining games.

The Warriors have to be perfect (7-0), to get into the playoffs with a teeny bit of breathing room... This will prove to be an extremely tedious task for the dubs.

Anyhow, point is it isn't over til the fat lady sings.

Too far too quit now.

Man, I have to vent, last night was too much for my heart to bare. The Warriors have always gotten me on a high when I see their miraculous comebacks, and bring me down with their tumultous heartbreaking losses.

We need a miracle 7-0 in the worst way to make it to the playoffs.

I've invested too much time this season, following and reading up on everything the Warriors do, to attending over half their games (most times paying for my friends ticket so they would come watch them play the griz, bulls, and t-wolves.) to quit now.

In a way I feel like the Warriors owe it the fans to make it to the playoffs. I know it sounds selfish, but to us their more than a basketball team. Their the under-dogs, the silver lining in a era of bad Bay-Area Sports teams. Their what people tune in to see when they get off work, and what people read about in the papers the next morning.

I think Adam at fastbreak, said it best we've invested too much to pass judgement now, we owe them 82 games, and I ain't going to stop BELIEVING till its finally over.

Here's the thing...

...losing is one thing, but getting beat is another. GS can't beat anyone playing like they did last night. They gave the Mavs easy baskets and no fight. For GS sake, they need to play like they are still in it!

the tell...

if the dubs lose to memphis friday, the slim chance of making the playoffs turns into none. if that happens, at that point, i'm all for giving the bench and young guys like bw and belinelli starts for the remainder of the games.

it looks like...

they already did play their hearts out for this season. the older guys look tired and burnt. with nellie pushing them to exhaustion, i don't think they have enough gas to play as hard as you ask them to. all i'm saying is that if they don't win at memphis against a team fighting for lottery position, they might as well see how well see who's worth keeping for next season by playing them a lot of minutes.
