Being the number one seed in the NBA Playoffs has its benefits. Playing in front of your home crowd is always an advantage and can often be the deciding factor in a tough matchup. With this in mind, is it worth it for the Golden State Warriors to chase the top seed?
The Warriors have been to four straight NBA Finals and are looking to reach that stage again this year. Out of the four seasons that they reached the Finals, the Warriors finished with the first seed three times.
The main advantage of having the one seed is being able to play any potential Game 7’s in front of your home crowd.
