I guess I'm in the minority when it comes to things like this, but when someone gets their butt kicked by a good / great team, I don't think that asking the powers that be to make them less good is the best way to go. I think the truly best thing to do is to make yourself better. 

Golden State took an L last year, a truly historical L. So what did they do? They went and made themselves better. Why is that a bad thing? You wanna beat Golden State? Then get better than Golden State. Don't go looking to the League to make life easier for you. Make life tougher for everyone else when they play you. 

There's a bunch of other items in my tirade that I'll leave off and I'll just stop this rant here. You wanna win? Get Gud.
