Adam Silver rewarding us for trading Dame to a contender
or
Adam Silver trying to ensure we don't land in the lotto

 

Why not both!?!?

 

It was blatant and may well have cost them the game. Mal made the shot and it turned the tide it seemed.

 

Adam doesn't want us in the lottery again; he sees we're too strong already

 

I swear the court helped. @Tince were you courtside?

 

I'll be honest I didn't think I'd like this court but it looks really good in action

 

It literally felt imposing in person.

 

I'd love a less "trophy-laden" version of this as our playoff court

 

If we had lost to them, their combined record would be 7-11. Not nearly as bad. Strength of schedule stats make no sense early in season. If you beat teams, those teams have worse records and you’ve played an easy schedule. If you lose, those teams have better records and so you’ve played a difficult schedule.

 

Yep. If you beat bad teams, that means you’re not one of them.

 

Playoff seedings has nothing to do with strength of schedule

 

Only player that can do that consistently would probably be Wemby right now.

 

And he's nearly a foot taller than Dr Shae so it just makes it that much more impressive!

 

Yes it happened. Yes it cost them. They also got a flopping technical and we made the FT.

 

JG and Sharpe are attacking the basket.

 

Brogdon is sneakily a pretty good defender. I thought he was a negative but he’s definitely a slight positive.

 

Shaedon was sick... in more ways than one. Very congested in the postgame interview.
