With about three weeks left in the regular season, the Warriors’ postseason is coming into clearer focus. While it looks like the Dubs will end up with the #1 seed, their potential first round opponents are the same since there is a substantial cluster of franchises in the same area. As someone who watches a significant amount of the rest of the league, now felt like an appropriate time to give Warriors fans some perspective that could help in terms of watching and rooting interests the rest of the way.
At this point, it is prohibitively unlikely that the Spurs, Thunder, Clippers or Grizzlies end up being in the 7/8 mix, which leaves four teams.
