    The record for NBA losses is 18, guess who's Phillies 19th opponent? The Lakers. Would like nothing more than for the Lakers to lose that game. They'll give up the all time winniest streak to the dubs tomorrow. Then the worst team in the history of basketball a win to avoid the exclusive record a few days later.

    If LA somehow wins; well I'll be happy to see Heinke go down as the architect of the worst NBA team ever through 19 games.

    Either outcome will be great! Somehow Philly is turning into must watch league pass.

    What if their streak goes to 20 games, 25 games? You certainly don't want to be the opponent they beat! They'll get the top level focused effort from every opponent. That's what we usually only see with defending champs.

    I hope Okafor and or Noel hold out for a trade; just say the blatant losing from upper management is too much. Nobody will blame them. Then Philly will have to dump assets for less than full value.

    Doubt that happens this year but if Noel and a few others cause a huge uproar about not wanting to come back next year that'll be fun to watch.

    Ejection and suspension. He was clearly outside his coaching box with ill intent creating contact with the official.

    I personally would love to see Philly win its first game in Houston on Friday.

    No. No they aren't.

    Watching them play in the fourth quarter vs Miami, and then vs Minny made me physically ill. It's bad basketball. Needed a desperate dose of SAS/GSW to unwatch that tragedy.

    Cleveland lost 26 games in a row about 5 years ago. Might've started the season before. Not sure.

    Although losing 26 in a row is a feat unto itself.

    It was awesome because the Clippers broke the streak by losing to the Cavs.

    Damn I bought awesome game 1 playoff sideline tickets in the 100 level for much less a number of years ago. It was the Roy team against the Rockets.

    Even with Ellis struggling in the offense, the Pacers have looked pretty good this season.

    I hardly ever turn off a Blazer game because they are losing, but if they are playing like crap tonight I might opt to watch the Warrior game instead.

    Yeah I can rewind the Blazers with league pass so think I might watch a lot of both.

    They have a top 5 coach that's why. Since Vogel took over that team they're always damn good

    Holy shit. Paul George has 38 points and is shooting 7/8 from three. Meanwhile, CJ MILES is shooting 8/9 from three!!

    These Dallas announcers are talking about the Warriors and one says "They play the lakers tonight trying to break the record" the other replies "Can the Lakers do it" to which the other guy responds(without hesitation) "no they cannot". He didn't even have to think about it for a millisecond.

    I don't know though. All I have to say is if Kobe still has a Kobe like performance left in him tonight is the night we will see it.

    Kobe could go for 92 and they would still lose by 20.
