Also key, from the athletic

"The Warriors are the sixth seed. If they can finish the season in the fifth or sixth spot, they'll avoid the Play-In, giving Wiggins an extra week as of practice before opening the first round of the playoffs the following weekend."

Man this is torture. The good news is they lost by two points on a night where Steph and Klay were ice cold. If they get in to the playoffs (hopefully avoiding the play in) they'll be fine

Keep waiting for the team to turn it on. It's a little late in the season for them to simply be playing bored.

This. I think its a HUGE stretch to just say "they'll be fine". I want them to actually play 2 or 3 complete games in a row where they dont play stupid basketball before I actually think they will be fine for the playoffs. Steph, Dray, and Klay need to lead the way and stop making bad mistakes.

On the other hand...the complete team hasnt seen the court together much if at all

Between wiggins and curry missing extended time it has been a patch work team most of the season

Wiggins returning gives the "hope" things finally click into place with the full squad

The team just isn't good enough if klay and Curry both have off-nights shooting. The good news is that in a best of seven, the chances of that happening more-often-than-not are slim. If Wiggins can do what he's capable of and return to form from last year's playoffs, replacing lamb's minutes with his does make you a little more confident in our chances. Biggest key is avoiding the play-in which is why this loss and the loss to Dallas are such a big deal.

GP2 is getting back to his old self just in time. Wiggins can get back into form quickly, he proved that after an injury, this wasn't an injury, he's well rested going into playoffs. Not a lot of analysts gave us a chance last year, even some fans were skeptical. Warriors play better in the playoffs. If I was a fan of another team, I wouldn't want my team playing the GSW early.

Why? Makings of a great series and almost zero travel. Lots of intrigue with Brown, Barnes history with the Warriors.

I hope Wiggins can get back in playing shape and slide back into his regular spot. He missed a lot of time. The only good thing was a couple of guys Kuminga got extended playing time.

Not to mention that it would mean the Warriors would avoid both the play in tourney and a matchup with KD. Garce is just being Garce and talking out his .....
