So because you’ve decided that he doesn’t care and that’s that despite way more evidence pointing in the other direction, we need to go along with that? Got it. Thanks.

. I appreciate your consistency in producing the worst takes in the thread.

You need psychiatric help if you think LeBron is sitting out a game because he doesn't care about winning

They probably rest Curry and possibly other starters on Tuesday plus it's a home game so that's an easy one for LA. @Memphis also easy because that team's season is done and they're probably better off tanking. So that leaves @New Orleans. That game could decide a lot and Pels will have something to play for unless they somehow already have top 8 wrapped by then which I don't think they will.

They very well could still pass the Lakers with a win on Tuesday for 9th seed

Sure but I said they can't get above 9th.

Why wouldn't the Warriors try to get 9th? Home court in a single game elimination is vital. No chance they rest their guys imo.

Yeah, if the Warriors win on Tuesday they control their own destiny vs LA for the 9 seed (they hold the tiebreaker vs the Lakers). They’d absolutely want to win that game and will try for it.

Just last night they rested Curry and Wiggins vs. Utah.
We shall see.

Huh?
I don't think home court matters nearly as much as getting players as close to 100% as possible, especially high-importance players like Curry, LeBron, Draymond, AD, Klay, ect.

Nausea and a headache but not in concussion protocol? Did they run a concussion test?
Terrible luck.
