To be reasonable, if the Warriors' last two games have won the Spurs and magic, then this season, aside, the playoffs should not have to be played, basically able to stabilize the situation. Why? Because if the Warriors win these two games, the record will be 49 wins and 23 losses, equal with the Grizzlies, and temporarily rank third in the West. At this time, the seventh Timberwolves in the West are 42 wins and 31 losses, theoretically speaking, even if the Warriors lose all the next games, it is only a record of 49 wins and 33 losses, and the Timberwolves want to rush up is very difficult, it is difficult for the Warriors to fall into the seventh position in the West, and you can't guarantee that other teams will not lose.
So winning these two games, theoretically at least can keep the Warriors' top six position in the West, without playing the playoffs. But after losing to the Magic and Spurs, the situation was different. The Warriors are currently 47-25, temporarily in third place in the West, but the team behind them has caught up. The Jazz are 45-27, the Lone Rangers are 44-28, the Nuggets are 42-30, and seventh-place Timberwolves have said 42-31. Now everyone has almost only about 10 games left, and this record ranking has not been pulled. Why is it dangerous to say that the warrior is alone? Because the Warriors' bonus period has been eaten.
Next, the Warriors have to face the Heat, Hawks, Wizards, Grizzlies, Suns, Jazz, Kings, Lakers and other teams. Now the Warriors need to play a magic game to a stalemate and lose, and the next opponents are stronger than the Magic in terms of lineup strength. Especially the next game against the Heat, it is very critical, once the Warriors lose, the Jazz then win, the gap between the two teams is almost negligible. And if the Warriors do not play well in this wave of rhythm, it is very likely to be a wave of losing streaks, and if it is really a losing streak, it is possible for the Warriors to fall into the seventh playoff of the West.
What is the worst estimate for Warriors fans? It was the Warriors who ended the following regular season with a wave of ten consecutive losses, and then successfully fell to the seventh position in the West. Losing to the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs and then to the Lakers in the second round missed the playoffs of the season. This is not impossible, now in the top eight teams in the West, the Clippers are basically hopeless to grab the top six places, the remaining seven teams, the Suns and Grizzlies are relatively stable, the ranking should be determined. The remaining seventh position in the West should be one of the Warriors, Nuggets, Jazz, Lone Rangers, Timberwolves, if the Warriors have Curry, then the remaining ten games will win a few games, basically without playing play-offs.
But now that Curry can't play, the Warriors' situation is not easy to say! Are you saying that ten consecutive defeats are possible? It's really hard to say, these two games the Warriors have proven that they are a second-rate team without Curry. Losing at such a pace, it's hard for the Warriors to say what the final result will be. The next game of the Heat is quite critical for the Warriors, this win the Warriors can have a big chance to breathe, once this game is lost, then the Warriors will really have no room for error in the future games.
