Bulls are doing the Raps a big honking favour. By being so crappy, they're stopping the Cavs and Wizards from giving up the play-in tourney hope. Wizards have such a good record against strong teams (they just swept the season series against the Jazz), they may convince themselves they can beat anyone they face in the playoffs.

Oh yeah, and of course, the Raps as well. We're certainly not giving up. :wink:

Yeah as long as the Bulls keep it close but don’t go on a big losing streak. They should win their next game against the Magic.

All these garbage teams at the bottom have a lot of games vs each other. Ideally we want them to all split wins so we can continue our steady descent to the bottom of the standings.

Richaun Holmes went down with an injury tonight. If he can't play against the Wizards on Wednesday, then Kings are the next tanking team we have to fear.

ya Kings worry me....according to 538 they're projected to finish with the same record as the Raptors...it's going to be close.

Rockets, Wolves, Magic, Pistons, Thunder are pretty much locked in the top 5....the rest is between the Cavs, Wizards, Raptors, Kings, Bulls.

Wendall Carter has been decent as well. I like Cole Anthony too. They'll have a nice young team next year

Fultz/Cole
Jalen Green/RJ hapton
Jalen Johnson
Issac
Bamba/Carter

Live by the Westbrook, die by the Westbrook.

Russ was single-handedly responsible for Raps pulling out our game against the Wiz. But he's much better behaved with Beal there, and of course the Wizards are too.

Question is, can we out tank the bulls? If you're in the heat of a playoff battle and you lose to the t-wolves....that's some strong military might.

They traded their 1st pick so they are trying. :D

The TWolves have DLo back. If they were healthier, they are fighting for 9th/10th spot in the West.

Yes, if he's not chucking 3's like Siakam then they are better for it.
