The Golden State Warriors finally shook off their four-game losing streak and took home a win in their Tuesday night matchup with the Sacramento Kings.

Steph Curry had 17 points in his second game back from injury, and 7 of the 9 Warriors that played scored at least 9 points in the 110-105 win. However, the outcome of this game didn't really matter.

Of course, it helps for morale and chemistry that the Warriors didn't drop a game to the tanking Kings, but heading into the game, the Dubs were all but guaranteed the 10th seed in the Western Conference, and even with the win, the Warriors became officially locked in that position, setting a course for a road game against the 9th seed in the Play-In Tournament.

After the game, Draymond Green discussed the upcoming Warriors' Play-In game, now that they're locked into the 10th seed, and also gave his quick thoughts on the concept as a whole.

"It’s not exciting. I’m a competitor, so I’m gonna do all I can to win, but it’s not that exciting. I think it (the play-in) worked initially. And now, to have a team stuck in 10th, it ain’t working. We could’ve lost our last 15 games and been stuck in 10th. It ain’t working."

The New Orleans Pelicans are currently the 11th seed, but they're a whopping 11.5 games behind the Warriors. It is highly unlikely any of the bottom five Western Conference teams will crack 30 wins, or potentially even 28.

This all stems from the larger issue of tanking. With teams knowing the 10th seed is now the border, rather than the 8th seed, they try even harder to ensure they will not be in the Play-In and potentially ruin their chances of a higher draft pick. Thus, the gap between teams vying for a playoff spot and teams bottoming out is as large as it has ever been.

It's similar to what people say will happen if the NCAA Tournament expands. Right now, the field of 68 means that teams right on the edge, whether they end up in or out of the tournament, will be anxious and possibly unhappy with their final standing.

Though the common solution proposed is an expansion to 76 teams or more, that just means this bubble moves. The same group of 8-10 teams will still be anxious leading up to the bracket reveal, and the same group of 6-8 teams that don't make the cut will be frustrated. It doesn't matter if you have more teams; the border remains present.

For the NBA, adding the Play-In Tournament helps if the 8-12 seeds are separated by a reasonable number of games and are jockeying for position.

Instead, with this border being lower, it seems to have created a bigger dissonance between competitive and non-competitive teams in the final weeks of the regular season. Of course, it's not like March Madness, where teams will be necessarily disappointed if they don't make the Play-In Tournament.

However, it does lead to situations like the Warriors, where, as Green said, they could have played even worse in the final few weeks of the season and still not have dropped out of the 10th seed, simply due to how bad the 11-15 seeds are.
