So Brooklyn, in all their tanking glory, has now passed Philly in the standings.

There's only 5 teams worth a worse record than Philly. They keep their pick if its top 6. A thousand percent they need to full embrace the tank. They're already there actually trying to win games. If they sit players out, they might not improve their odds much (Toronto might catch them) but they'll lock themselves into a good odds.

Also looking at the standings, Chicago, wtf are you doing. They offloaded Lavine for practically nothing and are still the 10 seed. They could have just kept Lavine, who has played MUCH better this year, still made the 10 seed with him, and then traded him in the offseason for higher value (less years on his contract and with a full year of playing at an all star level, some team would talk themselves into it). They should have sold off on Vuc, White, and Ayo at the deadline as well. They're doing nothing to help themselves

Thunder losing this one

This is what I get for jumping on the bandwagon

I can't wait to see how your state reacts to the Thunder refusing thier invite to the WH after winning the title...

I mean, sounds like you're rooting for a Thunder title here homes

“Minnesota was the first team in NBA history to win a road game when trailing by at least 20 points entering the fourth quarter against a team with an .800 or better winning percentage“

Perhaps a bit of a crack in the invincibility narrative...their youth will be tested similarly in the playoffs

Stats ain’t backing him up.

OKC is 2nd to last in ft attempts per game while they allow their opponents to shoot the 3rd most free throws per game.

Well, it is backing up the they foul every time part
