    Looks like the Lakers know they can’t afford to lose another game right now. They’re about in the same boat as the Blazers without the pick.

    Yeah they assembled their team at the deadline to win now. No playoffs for them would be comical. But I still hope we end up with a worse record

    Draymond Green gets away with camping out in the key. Refs just ignore it. I’ve watched it multiple times this game. We’re talking like 6 second stints in the paint.

    sorry. Don't really agree because of the nature of the "mistake"

    he's a 23 year old man flashing a gun in public...twice now apparently, and once in a threatening manner. I'm a gun owner....a responsible one. I don't so easily forgive shithead behavior with a gun

    so yeah...I'm definitely going to judge him for this

    Looks like Utah has finally initiated the tank. They’ve started to sit Jordan Clarkson and Lauri Markkanen recently.

    Knicks win 9th straight this time a double overtime in Boston.

    Josh Hart hasn't lost since arriving in NY.

    Impressive win against the Celtics, without Brunson. Hart was a factor, not obvious on stat sheet

    You punched a teenager in the face 12 times? Also- I don’t see how you doing the same things somehow makes it right.

    that's true....the most effective tank in NBA history resulted in 5 championships

    Yeah isn't that what led to the rule change? If the worst record guaranteed #1 pick this year the tanking would have obviously started much earlier.

    "After the 1984 coin flip, which was won by the Houston Rockets, the NBA introduced the lottery system to counter the accusations that the Rockets and several other teams were deliberately losing their regular season games in order to secure the worst record and consequently the chance to obtain the first pick."

    "In 1990, the NBA changed the format of the lottery to give the team with the worst record the best chance of landing the first pick. The worst non-playoff team that season would have 11 chances, out of 66, to obtain the first pick. The second worst would have 10 chances, and so on. Similarly to the previous system, the weighted lottery system was also used only to determine the first three picks, while the rest of the teams selected in reverse order of their win–loss records."

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA...raft lottery is,Draft lottery started in 1985.

    Duncan was drafted in 1997.
