The only exceptions to the remaining games are Grizzlies(2) and Trailblazers which they will need to also win as well and not take unlikely.
This will be one hell of a stretch, but if the Warriors can pull off this stretch, then they DESERVE to be in the playoffs.
I've said earlier, I predict the Warriors finishing off the remaining 19 games as they did when they first got Baron Davis in the starting lineup two seasons ago (14-5). Currently they are 4-1. Lets go Warriors!
So the good news is that the Clips have at least as tough, if not a tougher schedule left. 17 games left, 10 against playoff teams, and 4 against teams competing for the last playoff spot (Sacramento and NO/Ok), and 3 against non playoff teams (Milwaukee, and Portland twice). And the Clips have 9 road games left.
Some of the other teams contending for the last spot have easier schedules, but now that the Ws have a 2 game lead on them, it gives a bit more room for error.
As for the Utah game, the Jazz are coming off a 4 game losing streak (all on the road), and they should be happy to be home. So in spite of the Jazz being 25-7 at home, they might be a little out of synch right now.
