Yeah, weird with Mark, wish Lee would say what's going on there. Is this a setback or just tanking?

looks like we have a B2B vs LAC and DEN. If Mark doesn't play either half of the back to back I'll be concerned.

Mark being held out of the Nets game was blatant tanking if Mark is ok though lol
investigate Adam Silver

It's blatant tanking. Other teams are doing it too like NOLA.

you dont need to bench Mark to tank vs the Clippers or Nuggets when you're rocking with a Micic/KJ NSJ/Curry backcourt. probably still in therapy after getting abused by Davis

Yeah, I think it is just because of all the back to backs, he will likely play tomorrow.

This tank is definitely the most blatant tank since the 7 win season.

And we'll end up picking like 7th or something.

LaMelo has only played 44 home games the past 3 years. Which is 1 fewer game than on the road.

Norman Powell is easily the most underrated player in the league. I knew he was solid but had zero clue he was averaging 24 game on nearly 50 percent shooting. Good lord.

The offense has been ugly the last few games but have really enjoyed watching this group play defense. To be fair we've probably removed three of the worst defenders on the roster in Melo Miller and Mark. okogie It's quite the stud defensively. hamstrings are not something to play around with so would it be shocked to see him miss a few weeks. In other news moose is always positive and the plus minus. In over 700 minutes this season he's still rocking a plus 50 for the season. That's pretty remarkable.

Miller might be our best defender in the starting lineup
