This is the way.
Glad to hear it. I was worried Kerr might agree with a lot of this sub – that anything higher than 10th is unrealistic and so we should rest everyone to prepare for our play-in game(s). Going for the 8th is worth it, though, even if a lot of other things have to break our way. Plus it’ll be more entertaining to watch.
It’s a shame they didn’t start playing this well until now, it’s slightly too late to climb the rankings a lot and make significant difference to avoid the play in for example but we’ve seen enough over the last couple of months to know that this Warriors team is still alive
? I don’t get what he means by 2 bites at apple instead of 1 in regards to seeding?
I wrote a long post last week, and I won’t go into nearly as much detail, but if you have a 50-50 chance of winning each game, 7-8 you have a 75% chance to win 1 out of 2. 9-10 you have a 25% chance to win 2 in a row. Now I know we’re not talking about coin flips here, but all other things being equal (of course they never are), you have a 3x better chance at making the playoffs at 7-8 than 9-10. Not to mention if you’re 7-8 and win the first game, you get an extra 2 days rest before the playoffs.
Win out the regular season…let’s go!
Sounds like something Moses moody would say.
Okay Steve. All of a sudden seeding matters. We could have been 4 seed if your ass stopped caring about saving people for the playoffs.
I love Steve but Jesus. Lip service.
