    Looking at the standings, when is the last time a #1 seed finished 13 games better than the #2 seed? Also, the Orlando Magic have a legit shot of getting the #2 seed!

    Maybe the Blazers can beat the Wizards too?

    I kind of think this is why the Bucks are choosing to rest certain players namely Lillard at this point. Not sure they care much about the difference between 2-4th seeds in the east. They need all players healthy and playing well in the first round. We all know after the first round it's a total crap shoot.

    has anybody seen this scheduling before?

    the Kings are only a half game behind the Suns and Pels in the race for 6th seed and a play-in bye. Now here's the weird part: Kings and Suns are tied in season series 2-2; they have played 4 times. But they are playing a 5th game on the 12th:

    Fri, Dec 8, 2023 @ Phoenix Suns W
    Fri, Dec 22, 2023 Phoenix Suns W
    Tue, Jan 16, 2024 @ Phoenix Suns L

    maybe I've just been under a rock and haven't noticed, but since the league expanded to 30 teams I don't recall teams playing 5 times in a season...?

    It looks like on 12/6/23 the Suns lost to the Lakers in the Quarter Finals and the Kings lost to the Pels.

    The two losing teams squared off against each other on 12/8/23. (Game 1 of the series between the Kings/Suns)

    On the other end of the spectrum the Raptors have lost 15 straight and have moved from 7th worst to 6th worst.

    15 straight? Guess you really miss Banton, huh.

    Looks like Masai's reputation could go the way of Joe Dumars'...

    How concerned are you with the Knicks losing Julius Randle?

    Why are the Knicks a better team with Brunson and Josh Hart? We have Dame here with Hart and it never work out?

    Dame and Josh didn’t even play a full season together and Damr missed a lot of games.
