2. After the Warriors attempt 20 free-throws, they must shoot them left-handed

I also went through the Golden State roster and made sure that everyone’s right-handed. So here’s the thing, the Warriors’ top three players in terms of free throw attempts, are also three of the best free throw shooters on the planet.

The worst among the three is Klay Thompson and he shoots a measly 85 percent. Yep, a weak 85 percent from the free throw line. The magic number for the Warriors at the free-throw line seems to be 20 attempts.

During the season, the Warriors got to the free-throw line at least 20 times in 53 different games. Their record in those games — 44-9. Once they get to the line that many times, we have to do something to help out the opponent.

So here’s a proposed rule change for the NBA: when the Warriors get to the line at least 20 times, their players have to shoot with their left hand. I’m sure Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant are probably light-years ahead and working on this already, but let’s try and slow them down somehow.

The Warriors can hit 3-pointers, hit from the inside or the mid-range. Let’s take away the free-throw line after a certain point in the game.
