I think my numbers are actually wrong for Boston and NYK. The magic # should be 5 and 3. I didn't include the tiebreaker on my spreadsheet.
The Cavs tiebreaker is more complicated. Head to head is 2-2 so the next tiebreaker is division record, and we still have division games left. With Cleveland being that far back, it probably doesn't matter.
Yeah, its bad. When the team is healthy they play 6'6" Zion at center. When they aren't, they start 37-year-old DeAndre Jordan. That might be the worst C rotation in the entire league.
Sort of irrelevant though. Even if Queen had won ROY it was still dumb and unnecessary to include an unprotected pick for the 13th pick in a draft.
If you could wave a wand and make every team healthy and not tanking, I think New Orleans would be the worst team in the league.
Imagine being that bad and not having a first round pick this year.
I would fire Joe.
Sort of Pistons related. Anthony Edwards is now listed as day to day and could return Saturday against Detroit. The Pistons also play Minnesota next Thursday.
Platinum Equity no longer owns any part of the Pistons.
The original sale had Gores buying part of the team and PE buying a part. But a few years later Gores bought out PE and now owns 100% of the team privately.
