Don't forget Sacramento. I love the fact many of the EC bottom feeders are now playing each other. Utah only has 3 games left against Sacramento, I believe, and the next teams up from the Kings are all around .500 (Memphis, New Orleans and Minnesota). So a much harder schedule than the EC teams. This could be a season in which all 8 WC playoff teams win 50 games. That gives us hope that with an injury or two, GS could still miss. Even a #14 pick is going to fetch a pretty good player in the draft.
I've been trying to decide why I'm so excited about the GSW pick. I think it's mostly that I'd love to see them lose and then see them end up with what would have been a good pick but didn't get it because they were overconfident and were dumb enough to give away (more than one) unprotected pick to clear salary. Also, good way to stick it to them for two years ago. Even if my wish happens, I still would really be excited for 2017 to really pour some Draino on the wounds.
