Despite a very tough season with a ton of disappointing and surprising losses, the Golden State Warriors are on the verge of making the playoffs.
The only thing standing in their way is the Play-In Tournament, which starts on Tuesday evening.
The Warriors will face off against the Sacramento Kings.
If they can beat them, they will then fight to earn the eighth seed, positioning them against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the opening round.
According to Keyshawn Johnson, the Warriors will not only score that eighth seed, but they will also beat the Thunder in the opening round of the playoffs.
He said so on the latest episode of “Undisputed,” to the amazement of both Skip Bayless and Paul Pierce.

Johnson stated that the Warriors are the type of team that has been in this sort of situation before.
Because of their basketball IQ, their experience in the playoffs, and their ability to win, they can push through the Play-In and even surprise many with an opening round victory.
It won’t be effortless, though.
Despite what Johnson says, the Kings will not be easy opponents, and neither will the New Orleans Pelicans or the Los Angeles Lakers if they are their competition.
But the Warriors have been doing some good work lately and winning more often.
Plus, they are healthy and they have the sort of experience that really comes in handy during the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Thunder are the youngest number one seed ever and they don’t know what it’s like to be in the postseason.
The Warriors are hoping they get the chance to teach them.
