SGA is the truth. However, a number of teams had key players miss a significant amount of time (Zion/Ingram, Lebron/AD, KAT, Booker,CP3, Kawhi/PG13)....So yeah, OKC exceeded the projected win total, but they had some help.
You know what really helped was losing the #2 overall pick for the entire season before he played a single game and then having to play small ball basically all year

Literally every team in the league can play the injury game

Welp, all the parity in the West, that was supposed to elevate interest, goes out with a fizzle with all the "Restamania" games the final week.

:russell:

Concluding with today's betting lines:

- Clippers giving 12.5 pts to Suns...IN PHX
- Warriors giving 16.5 pts to Blazers...IN POR
- Lakers giving 16.5 pts to Jazz

:hhh:

Outside of a huge upset (entirely possible), the only game of interest is the Pelicans v Wolves, winner takes the 8th spot, loser 9th.

Don’t understand how Pelicans-Wolves wasn’t put on national TV when it’s the only game where both teams are playing for something.

Celtics & Hawks are both sitting their entire starting lineups. Lakers will be going for it but the Jazz will likely be sitting a bunch of players

Just odd decision making by the NBA & ESPN

Quick question, if it happens would this be the first time all California teams make the playoffs at the same time?
