I get the Kyrie hate translated into Mavs hate, but if NBA is punishing Mavs for tanking it would a ridiculously one-sided measure.
Just look at the last week in the West. It could have been an amazing week with everything to play for and instead it's just a wet fart, including the last day when there's like only 1 game that will be played by two full squads that might try to win and the rest look more like exhibition games than deciders.
Here's a funny twist: they don't have any second round picksThey will be punished for having the audacity to discuss it publicly, probably to the tune of a second round pick.
Never break kayfabe, brother.
Am I happy or sad about this?![]()
Lakers sign T. Thompson ahead of postseason
The Lakers have signed Tristan Thompson, a veteran center with playoff experience on LeBron James' teams in Cleveland, and Shaquille Harrison, a defensive-minded point guard, to fortify the roster for the playoffs.www.espn.com
Fuck Rudy
It was those offensive 3 second calls wasn't it?I'm so over Wiseman, I don't even want to joke about it anymore.
So, you're saying the Big Jim MVP 2024 campaign is off?I'm so over Wiseman, I don't even want to joke about it anymore.
Isn't the streak already over? He missed a game on the day of the trade I thinkThey really played Mikal Bridges for 4 seconds just to keep his games played streak going lmao how dumb
What would Jazz winning today do for the Wolves?Come on Jazz, the Wolves did you a solid with the Gobert trade and even though you're now tanking and resting half your players pull one out for us pls thx.
That said, I fully expect the Wolves to also shit the bed today, but hopefully I'm wrong. The three game series to get into the playoffs starts now.

no he wasn't eligible to play so the league decided it didn't interrupt his streak.Isn't the streak already over? He missed a game on the day of the trade I think
The big issue with judging raw athletic monsters who only played in HS is that... It's actually pretty hard to tell if they're athletic.
Shaedon Sharpe turned out to actually be as athletic as young Zach LaVine, but Wiseman just isn't very physically gifted.
This is a massive problem with judging Amen and Ausar Thompson. Amen in particular has to be one of the best athletes in NBA history to be good as his jumper is completely broken and is unfixable and he has... never played anyone.
It's important to remember that year was flukey due to Covid. A lot of GMs have complained they just didnt have enough footage and playtime that they normally would. It's very likely Wiseman would have dropped further in the draft if he had played a normal season.Its really bad with them though cause they're like 20 year olds playing against high schoolers. I can't see how any team invests a high lottery pick with that kind of info. I would be pretty annoyed if the Magic took one, its like the ultimate pandora box and its way more likely to be a losing lottery ticket
I believe it would beSo what is the tiebreaker scenario if Lakers, Clippers, Warriors, and Pelicans win?
