    of course it is. theres a reason why its called primetime games and a 2:00 game in the after noon is not considered one with a full slate of games. when you're trying to get games over with, over the course of a day its not the "best" game

    Agreed.

    Was a much bigger concern back when it was a 5 game first round. Now that it’s a best of 7, the better team should never lose or fail to recover after losing one (or two) games.

    Minny fouled DEN on nearly every possession down the stretch, the NBA wanted the Warrior's schedule to be as easy as possible because if DEN won they would have been the 7 seed. GSW now has the easier road to the conference finals despite having the 2 seed. On the bright side, Minny winning gives us the best chance for an easy 4-0 sweep.

    I hope we win every game by +20 to try to push out Thibs before he kills KAT, but making the 8 seed might allow him to play out his entire 5 year contract as CoachGM, even after Butler and KAT's knees explode.

    EDIT: I still feel bad for the fans in Minny though, them making the playoffs means that they lose their FRP this year.

    Yes, they traded their 2018 FRP for Adriean Payne + 4 game sweep by us

    Some of you guys sure complain a lot. Appears that if the Rockets don't win it will be because the NBA has a huge conspiracy going against us lol.

    That doesn't even make sense how is Spurs suppose to be an easier road for the Warriors compared to Denver

    clearly you haven't been paying attention to how Adam Silver has personally wrecked James Harden's career

    He was questionable for last night at Sactown and was a late scratch. Not sure why he can't play 4 days later.

    That is a horrible schedule. They need to ban the first round from the 1st and 2nd seed teams. I hate the first round, I hate it!!!!

    If the games in the first round wont be every two days, I would rather much see the 1st and 2nd seed get banned from the first round.
