Three X-Factors For The Warriors-Kings Playoff Series

It’s pretty hard to believe that the two NorCal opponents have never faced off in the Western Conference playoffs, not even once.

Potential Warriors Playoff Seeding Outcomes In The Season's Final Frame

The Warriors are right on the bubble.

They have only two games remaining in their regular season schedule, and a myriad of ways they enter the playoff - or play-in - picture.

Shot Selection: The Warriors' Late Game Kryptonite

There’s nothing quite like hitting the dagger. When an opposing team is attempting to mount a comeback, or your team’s just completed one, the desire to pull up and hit what essentially is a game-ending three-pointer with two minutes still remaining can be hard to battle… Especially when your team has three guys who hit difficult treys with relative ease.

As a result, they have a record of 40 and 37 and sit in the sixth seed in the Western Conference standings with four games left in their season. With the playoffs quickly approaching, they must stay at the sixth seed and avoid the play-in tournament if they want to defend their title.
