Serious question: Does OKC win another game all year?

They've lost 11 in a row with 14 games (including tonight) to go... They could end the season on a 25 game losing streak

The Kings play OKC in 3 out of the last 7, they could be tanking by then.

Avdija just had a bad broken leg or ankle, not sure they covered it up.

They've not even been close, no sign of players coming back, I really think they could lose out from here

Deni Avdija turned his ankle the other way.

I’ve had my eyes on them from when they went 110% tank a while ago and shutdown Horford, they’re going all in and I honestly don’t know if they win another. The Kings are the best chance.

Even more reason why Orlando must go full tank too and atmost win 1 more game. We control our destiny with this.

I hope we get atleast 3rd, outside chance of 2nd with Wolves getting 3rd, 5th at worst.

I have a feeling they wont. Also depending on this draft lotto outcome... say they somrhow get top3 pick,it will show to the league that their measures in preventing tanking wont work.

After this I have a feeling the league might take.more measures to prevent the crapfes the tankers are doing right now. I think they arent just cracking hard enough is because there are.no fans in the stadoums to affect the sales.

But next season when fully packed arenas are allowed and paying ticket holdets are gonna complain they paid premium to watch curry-klay-etc or kyrie kd harden team come and battle their team.only to.be told curry is load managing, klay is resting a b2b or kyrie is hooking up with his sage dealer or kd is rehabbing his sore fingers from twitter... yeah league wont allow those shenanigans to affect their.bottomline.

Good lord... Pokusevski is being held out for the rest of the game due to a 'non covid illness' WTF is going on. The league really just needs to flatten the odds. This is disgusting.

Poku is absolutely awful so this should help their odds to win. 33/28 shooting splits and no defense while Williams & Roby are better but coming off the bench

No doubt but he has shown the ability to play well every once in a while. I just find it odd after he started the game

I was so wrong about Sexton coming out of college. He really has become a solid player

On another note. Detroit is up on Dallas early. Detroit has been playing decently lately.
