With how close every game has been even when we were missing 1 of our 2 best players you really shouldn't lol, especially since AD does his best work in the playoffs unlike some other MVP candidates out there

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curryraised some eyebrows on Thursday night, when ESPN's Chris Haynes reported that the two-time NBA MVP will play in low-top sneakers when he makes his return to the court from a sprained ankle.
He'll wear the Under Armour Curry 5 low, which was unveiled on March 14, and this marks the first time Curry will play in a low-top shoe since getting his own signature line with Under Armour.
Curry has missed the last six games with an injury to his right ankle -- the same ankle on which he had surgery early in his career and the same ankle that caused him to miss 11 games in December. Conventional thinking says that low-top shoes provide more risk for ankle injuries, but Curry isn't worried about it.
Low-top shoes have become a regularity in the NBA since Kobe Bryant first wore his own low-top Nike model in 2008, designed to mimic the functionality of soccer cleats. Bryant explained at the time that he didn't think the shoes would lead to more rolled ankles -- in fact, it could be the opposite.
"I've been playing basketball all my life and I've worn high-tops for a lot of those games, and I've rolled my ankle plenty wearing high-tops," Bryant said in 2008. "If you come down on somebody's foot, you're going to roll your ankle and there's not a lot you can do about it. But to have a low, I feel like it gives your foot more freedom to change direction."
Indeed, it's hard to imagine that a shoe would make much difference in preventing sprained ankles, particularly if you're wearing ankle braces, but Warriors fans shudder any time Curry and "ankles" are mentioned in the same sentence. We'll have to wait and see if the new low-tops contribute to his chronic problems

I agree 100%, and we'll actually win the championship when that day comes too
But all joking aside if the seeding stays the same as it is now and both teams take care of business in the 1st round we'll have that showdown in the 2nd anyway, gonna be one to remember

I read a statement idea where an nba analyst said they should have lil tournament with the bottom eight seeds to determine the picks 1-8. That shyt was ingenious l. I wish swe over would do that winner of the tournament gets the 1 seed, runner up get the 2nd and so forth.
Would help discourage tanking and prevent performances like the grizzlies have tonight

Or just make the lottery evenly random... the biggest problem was giving an incentive to tank into the top 3. Nobody wanna watch a playoff full of bad teams... lol
This is like the 3rd time Brett has stopped Ben from getting a triple double.

Usually when the combine happens.
Only way to stop it is to have relegation like we do in football, worst teams in the league get kicked out and the best teams in the lower divisions get allowed in.
Owners would never allow that though.
