Whether or not Clippers win or lose this game, they're gonna be really tired come playoff time. They're playing Chris Paul, Reddick, Crawford heavy minutes without Austin Rivers.
The more tired they are before the playoffs the better for us.
If the bolded team win the west will look like this:
1 Seed - Warriors
2 Seed - Spurs 4.5 games behind
3 Seed - Rockets 11 games behind
4 Seed - Jazz 15 games behind
5 Seed - Clippers 16.5 games behind
6 Seed - Thunder 17.5 games behind
7 Seed - Grizzlies 21 games behind
8 Seed - Blazers - 24.5 games behind
That would pretty much put the 7th seed out of reach. End the race for the #1 seed leading to increased % of rest games to end the season by the Warriors and Spurs, Thunder narrow the gap on the Clippers for #5, and the Jazz register 1 in their march towards 6! (6 being the magic number of Jazz wins + Clipper losses to guarantee the 4th seed.)
Easter Conference note: Celtics just took over the #1 seed last night. They lead the Cavs by half a game. Celtics are my pick for the Eastern conference team in the finals. (Not good for the Hayward sweepstakes)
