The NBA playoffs are almost here. Only one final seed remains as the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers are battling for it. The two teams within a game of each other. Both are having a resurgence second half. They've both got a good mix of talent. Coming into today's game The Warriors are 40-40 while the Clippers hold a 42-40 record, a slight edge over their competition.
With New Orleans out of the picture as they fell too far behind in the West, the focus is on only the two contending teams. The Clipppers have a veteran squad with plenty of experience and talent which include Elton Brand, Sam Cassell, and Corey Maggette. Their competition has a new look with mid-season acquisitions, Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson. It will all come down to which team is the most hungry. Personally, I'm pulling for the Warriors because I'm a big BD fan and they deserve to make the postseason.
Either team won't have an easy matchup in the first round whether they face the Mavs, Spurs, or Suns. Last year the Clippers forced a Game 7 against Phoenix, but that was without Amare Stoudmaire. It's sure to be a fight to the finish. Whoever prevails will be the real underdogs going into the postseason...and have their work cut out for them.
