Show Notes

Golden State Warriors will not know who their opponent in the first round of the playoffs will be until the regular season finale this Wednesday.

Warriors concluded their final regular season game at Oracle Arena in Oakland with a 131-104 win against Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, April 7.

Beat writer Mark Medina outlines 14 confusing playoff possibilities the Warriors could face and the rotating rest strategy Steve Kerr will employ in upcoming games, involving half of the following eight players resting each game:  Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, DeMarcus Cousins, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston, Kevon Looney.

“Regardless of how these last two regular season games play out, the Warriors feel really good about themselves,” Medina said on this week’s Warriors Looking Forward in reference to potential upcoming matches against Los Angeles Clipper, San Antonio Spurs or Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the playoffs.
