Not The Team They Were?

time for the players to step up and play like a team

Why do you think the seed spot in the playoffs is so important Slip? eventually , you need to beat the best teams to win it all. Sometimes you get lucky and someone does the dirty work for you (a lesser teams beats a powerhouse) however , that's often couples with the lesser team being in a hot streak so they are dangerous too.

Anyway , I think the job they did in SA should let everyone know that they will win the games they feel are important (made a statement to the winningest team in the league , important at playoff time) and the rest of the games down the stretch are times to rest the old and school the new.

Anyway , who do you think we will need to face in the playoffs if we don't get a better seed that we wouldn't eventually face in the later rounds anyway?

I think you answered part of it yourself

I'd like them to be the 1 seed and have homecourt advantage
they can win without that i understand

health is important, at their age, i'm not sure it will last until game 7 of the finals, that's all.

If they have to play Chicago first round and go 5 games, they could lose right there, who knows

SA is a good team in the season but they may not do so well in a series with a team in the playoffs
I hope they do though, and beat LA so we don't have to, I'm not happy if we lose to them again
