Imagine being Golden State.
You overcome injuries to multiple major starters and finish 8th. Not good enough.
First, the league makes you play the Lakers and refuses to enforce their own Covid rules against Lebron. The guy who shouldn't even be in the game makes the game-winning shot.
Then because of a new play-in format that they invented for the benefit a a few TV networks, they make you play a team that finished behind you in the standings. The Grizz get lucky for one game, and your season is over.
I wonder what financial damages an enterprising Warriors owner could claim in court against a league that seems to invent rules on the fly out of thin air.
