Just a month ago it seemed all but assured that the Golden State Warriors could not only compete for a sixth seed in the Western Conference playoff race, but also rest comfortably knowing they had the 9th or 10th spots in the bag with the way the bottom of the conference was struggling.
Those two seeds represent the final opportunity for teams to make the playoffs through the play-in tournament. 11th and below get sent home early to watch the games on TV. That’s why I have disturbing news for Dub Nation: The Houston Rockets are right behind the Warriors for that 10th seed!
