Nope! These teams are not tanking 

Post#1 » by tamaraw08 » Tue Mar 21, 2023 2:30 am

I know, I know we shouldn’t be scoreboard watching and should just focus on the Lakers taking care of business and winning many games but they are not.
Losing to Brunson-less Knicks, the awful Rockets and Doncic-less Mavs just put so much pressure now to have like a 7-3 record or even better. Suffering 4 more losses could probably be catastrophic.
Just when I thought that Pelicans are dead after that massacre by the Lakers, they are still alive with a much easier schedule.
No KAT, No D’Lo (it just shows you this guy’s value after he leaves the team)and currently no Ant Edwards and they are still winning games, just beat the Knicks.
Freaking OKC is 7-3 their last 10 games.
Utah with 2 starters averaging 11 combined points are beating the Kings right now.
Portland seems to be the only one who is letting go of the rope.

It’s official, Utah just beat the healthy Kings even without Markkanen and Clarkson, replacing them with 2 players averaging 11 pts per game combined.
Minnie’s back up Taurean Prince replaced Ant, just dropped 35 pts to beat the Knicks
