Rockets are frauds :martin:


I also don't like the Thunder. They basically foul bait you so much that by half time you don't want to guard them for real and they get easy buckets for the rest of the game. They play lame as hell.

TYRONE GA!
Hahahaha, I swear just last week I think @Rekkapryde said some crazy shyt like Bronny could eventually be a better than Collier

:dead:
No, I said you look at Collier and see Bronny and you see a clear difference between talent even tho both were Mickey Ds kids at the same time on the same USC team. Bronny was a 4 star at best, but no way shoulda been a Burger Boy.

Are these 3 teams really so eager to get 14% probability instead of 12.5%

Copper Flagg better be LeBron or at least Luka
there is no point being kinda bad or a little bad. if your season is cooked there is no point in losing for free. how many games lost were there between James Harden and Gerald Henderson?

I mean it's still a lottery, and it's about 4 teams that will surely already be the worst. And 3 of them have the same chance of getting the #1. While one has a bit less of a probability.
So what I'm saying is, is it worth it to risk it by visibly tanking to a point where you might even get hit with some type of punishment, like Utah Jazz and now NO obviously are doing?

I hope shyt is like last year where ATL got the #1 with the smallest probability :ohlawd:

Tanking defeats the purpose of having a ranked draft system and is anti-competition, disgusting behavior actually

I don't understand how the refs respect Dort. He's either flopping or fouling.

It doesn’t, it’s the natural effect of it

By drafting based on record you give teams an incentive to lose. So if your season is already cooked, depending on the circumstances you have more to gain by winning 20 games than 30

Utah won 31 games last year and got rewarded with the 10th pick. They’ve got 16 wins this season and if they hold will be guaranteed a top 5 pick

Since I'm on the east coast, I'm probably going to find an east coast team to follow.

I'm not staying up to 10-10:30pm to regularly watch the Suns anymore.
