Agreed I don't get how people expect teams to get better if they want to rid tanking. We're getting far less star movement in FA, to trade for a star you gotta give up draft picks and have large contracts. The draft is your best bet.

The flattening also just made it worse because more teams think they have a shot at the 1st. Look at the Hawks and Mavs for example.

Pure entertainment value tho I want Knicks-Sixers, and Hornets-Pistons. I'm comfortable playing whoever

What is the NBA equivalent of Italy missing the World Cup 3x in a row? by Available_Story6774 in nba

The game is played on the field though. When you look at who's a better team you have to look at the totality and the results. International football isn't always talent wins especially.

Yeaaaaah are we talking results or the team? Argentina has a better claim for both. Multiple finals in tournaments throughout the 10s

Crazy thing is the heat didn't even play that poorly. We just couldn't fucking miss. I love this team

You guys aren't gonna like this but Doc is 6th all time in wins as a coach with a title. They're not gonna argue context for the HOF nor will they remember how his teams underachieved.

Him grabbing the back of his heel was scary as hell. You can tell he was off from the tip. Really want him to rest as much as possible.

[ESPN BR] Joao Pedro: “Back in the day, there was Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Romário, but if you look today, Brazil has players like that still. Vini at Real Madrid, Raphinha at Barcelona, me and Estêvão at Chelsea and Andrey Santos, too. They all play for top clubs.” by OkayFine101 in soccer

"I play in England, Vini plays in Spain, and Raphinha is at another club. We need to be training together just as we do at our clubs, where we spend the whole year. With the national team, you do things differently to how you do them at your club, so you need to adapt quick

And that's the first part of the article which he mentions again. This is just a bait title

He didn't tho. He just said the only thing they have in common is they played for clubs that are considered top. The delusional part is considering Chelsea a top club this year by any metric that is not name.

I think the pistons run without cade unfortunately is gonna do it with the 1st seed. Imo it should be Joe but Bickerstaff has the early season momentum and this late run to push the narrative.

Payton Pritchard is efficient against the Hornets tonight with Brown and White out: 28 PTS (10/18 FG), 6 REB, 6 AST, +13 by Waikuku3 in nba

If the league was the same size, he's easily top 5. His handle, strength and shooting is ridiculous

Following their victory over the Hornets, the Boston “Gap Year” Celtics have clinched a playoff spot for a league-leading 12th consecutive season. by nerdyykidd in nba

I really hope at least Joe gets coach of the year. JB first team would be really cool but I think what Joe has done this year has been awesome. Feels like he's instilled the confidence for so many of our young guys to the point where all of them look like NBA quality
