    Third. The Suns lead their division so they get #2

    That is true because of 3way tie with Denver. Otherwise we have tie breaker.

    I wanna understand tie-breakers.

    We have head to head vs PHX.

    They are Division Leaders.

    Division leaders get the nod, apparently.

    I didn't know that before.

    half-right

    if it's a two team tie the breaker is head-to-head. If it's a 3-team tie, then it's division leaders

    How does a guy like Harrell not find a home. He is so unbelievably active. Reminds me of Farried. Love those kind of players.

    Because a lot of their frenetic energy masks their big deficiencies. It's like watching thr frenetic pace of March madness basketball, but you step back and not get caught up in the hype and it's just shit basketball.
    They hustle, there's a place for it, but they're covering up lack of skills and IQ with energy. While that sounds good, often times that energy puts them out of position, wh8ch hurts their teammates.

    It looks like KD is legitimately happy for Big Ben! Love it.

    Wait--no Embiid, no Harden, no Maxey, and they're still beating the Nets with KD, Kyrie, and Simmons all playing and playing well?

    This game makes no sense sometimes.

    What a Dud by the Nets. LOL.

    I thought Shake Milton and De'anthony Melton were the same person, but I guess not because they both started for the 76ers.

    There are some people that like to praise other teams players as if they are perfect.

    Well, with 1.7 seconds left down by three Ja Morant misses the first of three free throws after getting fouled. Then to make it worse on the third free-throw that he intentionally misses he crosses the free-throw line before the ball hits the rim which is a violation. Grizzlies lose to the kings.
    Imagine if one of our players did that.
