Embiid really gets a favourable whistle... is he even getting flop calls sometimes? This league ain't fair. And it was going in my favour last night since I bet on the Sixers but then they dropped the game :S

Magic have just become my new favourite team, very impressed with them. Talented, well-coached, play with effort and purpose. Banchero and Franz Wagner scoring the ball well, Suggs such a great energy guy and Goga Bitadze's been one of the leagues revelations! Good bench as well with Mo Wagner, Isaac, Harris and Ingles. Worth the watch!

They are the antidote if anyone is tired of watching teams that don't play defense or try hard.

I'll also shoutout Cole Anthony off the bench for random mean mugging, and it's actually kind of remarkable to watch Anthony Black navigate screens on defense. Worth a few minutes just for that.

Imagine playing for stats cuz you can no longer win titles.. irrelevancy is really driving Lebron bonkers

Last two years I made threads to monitor longest current winning and losing streaks, but no one cared. Tell me would you like to if I made daily here, like this :

Longest winning streaks :

Milwaukee Bucks : 5 wins (next game vs @CELTICS)
Oklahoma City Thunder : 5 Wins (next game vs BULLS)
Orlando Magic : 4 Wins (next game vs NUGGETS)
Cleveland Cavaliers : 4 Wins (next game vs HEAT)
Phoenix Suns : 4 Wins (next game vs WARRIORS)

Longest losing streaks :

Detroit Pistons : 12 Loses (next game vs @PACERS)
San Antonio Spurs : 9 Loses (next game vs CLIPPERS)
Portland Trail Blazers : 8 Loses (next game vs JAZZ)

Whose streak ends first?

Sometimes I like to imagine in 20-30 years this will be remembered as Doc Rivers' lasting legacy in the NBA

Of course we would like, please keep doing, there are a lot of people who appreciate it.

I sent you a PM a while ago, you didn't reply me. Hope you're doing better, man.

He shot 7/7 on 3s in the last game vs the Warriors IIRC, and some of those were not easy shots, I was very impressed.

Yeah some of them are insane and he has that touch too where it should rim out but it doesn’t.

However he misses like all his 2s it’s very funny.

I don't really understand how this board works, is talking about Giddey rumors like a strike level offense? Havent really seen that before when it comes to allegations here but I have some commentary that I don't want to get struck for. Or is it just being censored from having its own thread? Requesting clarity

You can talk about it but it has to be in Chet Twitter speak only!

OKC, Suns and Magic extend their winning streaks, Boston ends MIL's 5W streak.
On the other end, Pistons are still ''leading'' recurrent Ls with 12 still, Clippers extend Spurs misery, now to 10 Ls in a row.
Current leaders :

Longest winning streaks :

Oklahoma City Thunder : 6 Wins (next game vs 76ERS)
Orlando Magic : 5 Wins (next game vs CELTICS)
Phoenix Suns : 5 Wins (next game @ GRIZZLIES)

Longest losing streaks :

Detroit Pistons : 12 Loses (next game vs @PACERS)
San Antonio Spurs : 10 Loses (next game @ WARRIORS)

Heat @ Knicks tomorrow is going to be odee. Either outcome sets up an epic finale of Bucks @ Heat. IST is odee^2

Edit: I think if the Knicks win tomorrow they'll become the favorite to win the wildcard.
