    Sixers are garbage. 22 point lead into 8 point deficit in less than a quarter. Maybe they should tank more for more injured draft prospects.

    45-15 in a quarter, ouch. No getting back into it now for 76ers I fear.

    Worst quarter by any team this season. 34 point turnaround.

    What trash team outscores their opponents by 32 in a quarter? How is that not impressive? Please, tell me your invalid excuses that aren't merited in any reality.

    Hawks won a game by 40+ this year. Are they title contenders? For all of the Warriors' greatness, they are only up 10 on garbage Philly team.

    Against who? The kings.

    If Philly is garbage (when you just asked if they were the best team in the world) and asked why we say we are garbage... are we now garbage?

    Thought so. Good job. At least be consistent.

    Don't need special attention on a sports message board. I'm actually annoyed by the attention. I'm just speaking my mind and you guys go nuts. If my writing annoys you, ignore me or at least stop responding to me. It won't bother me at all. That's the opposite of needing attention.

    So your mind tells you that a team that just won two championships and lost one finals by a game, and is currently 11-4 (virtually 12-4 already) will struggle to make playoffs...

    Warriors and 76ers are trash while Kings are good. Okay.

    They probably will but I don't think it's a sure thing like everybody else. There are many holes in their game.

    No. Warriors are trash. Sixers are garbage. Kings are just good.

    They are 12-4 and they just won a title last year comfortably, they haven't got worse. A .500 record might get you into playoffs.

    There is honestly not even a tiny chance of them not making the playoffs, not even a 1% chance. That's just ridiculous.

    Do you fancy a bet - I say Warriors will finish with a better record than Kings and will make playoffs while Kings will not make playoffs. If any of that ends up not true, you win. If all is true, I win.

    Choose a stake.
