Seriously just switch baskets and play to "win".
I can't believe the players union and owners agreed to a CBA extension without directly addressing tanking.
Mavs would look so bad finishing the season tanking in front of their home crowd. I think Mavs are alreaded locked at 10? OKC have the tie-breaker over them. How about vs Bulls?
Spurs +4 is a joke. I would smash that line
Both Keita Bates-Diop and Julian Champagnie are on a .50/.40/.80 watch.
Champagnie is slightly short on threes and a bit short on overall fg%. He is 46/98 overall and is at .397 for 3p%. Of course a very limited number of games.
KBD is sitting at .393 for 3p%, right now is 53 for 135.
This should be interesting.
They’re locked in terms of the standings but the tie breakers aren’t taken into account for the lottery odds, which is what they need to ensure. If Bulls lose and OKC look they would as well, I could see them putting the ball in their own basket over and over. It’ll be entertaining.
Happened once in older european cups that were played on 2 game series (home and away) where the tie-breaker was total points scored in the 2 games. A team who lost the first game, but on the verge of winning the second by too small of a margin compared to their first loss, scored in their own basket to tie the game and go in OT to try and complete the point difference.
Btw, don't know if it's been mentioned already but the NBA is investigating the Mavs for sitting key players during their home loss vs. Chicago, and Kidd comments basically akwnoledging it was an organisation decision to tank the rest of the season rather than trying to make the play in. Luka played the 1st quarter then made an intentional foul at the start of the 2nd to try to get an ovation for what would be his last appeance of the game and the season, which failed...
Rockets line changed a little. Now Rockets -4
Spurs line still +4
Who is going to out-tank this game. I want the mavs to lose their first round pick, so obviously pulling for Dallas here
Pay these guys back 2006 and 2009. Or I mean Dallas should pay SA back for 2001, 2003, 2010, and 2014
Spurs in full tank mode for #2 spot tonight
Houston playing first is nice. Hopefully they win and it takes some “pressure” off the decision. Still want Dallas to win and lose tie breaker to Bulls & OKC for the comedy though.
Almost there. Not going to lie, this season was tiring to watch due to all the DNPs, but it was done for a higher cause.
Mavs are probably scared of being too blatant about tonight's game, so it should be another L if needed. Second or third, doesn't really matter as much, the goal was achieved and this will be the first successful season in 6 years if we don't get unlucky in the lottery.
Just to not make Luka look like a complete primadona: The games was set up as 'Slovenia night' since beginning of the season when Dragic was still on the Bulls. There was a big delegation from Slovenian basketball association as well as number of fans from Slovenia. I doubt that he would have played at all if that wasn't the case.
Rox getting wrecked straight out of the gate.
Dallas needs to lose wwaaaaayyy more than the Spurs do. Everyone swore the Spurs would outtank the Blazers and they didn't.
This pretty much sums up the season -- last game of the year and I can't even get the Spurs' broadcast on League Pass.
Isaiah Roby has signed with the NYK for one single game, in which he is not playing. Made $400,000. For a full season that would be like $32 million. But this allows him to work with them over the summer, it appears.
Ariel explained they are out of the play-in, but could still be in a coin toss and could lose their 10 protected pick. They have great incentive to lose. Maybe more than us. It's something I don't fully understand, but they now have an 80% chance of keeping their pick, that drops in half with a win....but again I don't quite know the specifics.
Well, there's alternatives.
Yeah, that's entirely on Mavs organisation and Cuban.. They'll probably pay another huge one for that.
If Pistons get Wembayama, there is no god
