    Indy lost to Detroit, at home. They are just better at tanking. Blazers won't catch them now

    The Pels are not beating the Clippers or the Twolves on the road. They will finish the season #9 or #10

    Hawks were 10 games behind the Nets on Jan 15th. Now they’re ahead of them.

    Didn't they have a good run at the end of last year also? They hired McMillan and started winning?

    now that is 70 seconds of prime tanking level offense that every tanking team should add to their tanking playbook and work on in their tanking practices

    True, but let's hope it only lasts 4 more games.

    And I forgot:

    GO SUNS!!!

    Because, FUCK THE LAKERS is always true.

    I wonder what the Suns will do? They don't have to win any more games. They have clinched #1 throughout.

    why do I suspect that if we all could see your browsing history, rooting for the Spurs is probably one of the least dirty things you've done...be honest now!

    Why would they not want to push the Lakers out of playoff contention? If the Lakers got healthy and hit a hot streak, they could still be dangerous.

    that's a stretch. Their record has been worse than ours since we started tanking.

    This really needed to end where it started with Mitchell Robinson getting hit in the head by a teammate's pass from point-blank range.

    Lakers even if healthy are not that dangerous -- maybe for 1st round but after that they become fodder

    As much as it sucks that the Blazers are lotto bound it helps to know the Lakers will be sitting at home too and one could argue IF the GM does not screw this up the Blazers have a better future then the Lakers at least on paper.

    Yep. But in this case, they made up 10 games on the #1 seed. Incredible.

    Lakers dangerous? Lakers getting hot? Lakers in first round? They will likely be eliminated from the play-in tonight.

    True. It is Lebron and AD. They can win games.
    The other side of that is why chance any other injuries. They will play Chris Paul back into shape but other than that?
