The season of Golden State Warriors It is really disappointing but it can be even more so if the team led by Steve Kerr and that has to Stephen Curry as the main figure he fails to classify even the Play-In.
Today, the Warriors are in the tenth position in the Western Conferencethe last place that grants a place in the repechage that determines the last two classified to the Playoffs. And to increase the anguish and pressure, Houston Rockets is hot on his heels after achieving ten consecutive victories that put him back in the race.
Con Curry as a great star and always well accompanied by names like Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Iguodala o Kevin Durant; the Warriors got four NBA rings in the last decade becoming a true power in the best basketball league in the world. But this season, full of injuries and suspensions, was very irregular and is reflected in the results with only ten games left in the regular season.

NBA 2024 | How the Play-In is played: teams and format
Los top six teams from each conference advance directly to the Playoffs while the seventh faces the eighth for a place and the loser of this match faces to the winner of the duel between ninth and tenth for the last ticket. This instance that has been played since the 2020-2021 season is called Play-In and on this occasion it will be held between Tuesday, April 16 and Friday, April 19.
Nowadays, the Warriors they would be crossing paths with nothing more and nothing less than Los Angeles Lakers and the winner of that duel with the loser of the match between Sacramento Kings y Phoenix Suns. But the standings are so even that everything can change between now and April 14 when the regular season ends.

Even if the Warriors finish in the tenth place they currently occupy, they would play both Play-In games as a visitor, which makes their entry into the postseason even more difficult.
Since the Play-In modality was implemented in 2020-2021, No team that finished tenth later managed to get into the Playoffs. But the Warriors’ present indicates that they will not be able to aspire to much more since Dallas Mavericks which is sixth and occupies the last place of those who qualify directly for the Playoffs it takes him five games but Los Angeles Lakers Those who are ninth are three ahead of them and are on the rise, so it will be very difficult for those from San Francisco to climb positions and they will have to at least maintain that tenth place to stay alive.
