Do you even realise the Knicks have the toughest remaining strength of schedule in the East and second-toughest in the NBA?

Philly took care of business... that NO Minny game is another where I'm not so sure who I want losing .... go kings!

The more I watch Holmes highlights the more I'm certain of Okafor being traded soon. That guy can play. no way they go BPA again and choose a big if that's the scenario they're in. Their bench is going to be strong between Holmes Saric Covington and McConnell

The Sixers Front Office is mulling over who next to bench.

Yea Lakers need to play D'Angelo full-time at SG. Scored 40 pts tonight while primarily playing off the ball.

Said it earlier this yr, hes one of the guys that is playing out of position and should be play SG. Dont think he has that IQ or skill set to play PG.

Orlando vs Philly tomorrow...somebody has to win

So, it really looks like we better just play the rest of the season with unmotivated vets in the starting lineup, playing them 30mins+.

WE don't want whats happening in other tanking teams, where youth can snag you a win here and there by just playing 110%.

Went with PHI because they have the tougher schedule the rest of the way and us in the final game.
Went with HOU and UTA because that 8th seed need to seem like it's attainable so other teams don't start tanking.

Philly may actually "pass" us. They seem to be clicking. I didn't think we had a chance to catch them with Embiid going down and Simmons out.

It seems we can pass the 76ers... but Kings are a problem for us... :-?

Thx I needed to hear that since Im one of the dudes that is paranoid we start winning some games.

I see, at worst, 5 possible wins for the Sixers left. (Sixers may have a surprise win or two with their current play) For Orlando 4, at worst. Opponents that both can beat.
Knicks 3 at best.

It would be quite horrific if the Knicks screw this up.

They have the Lakers and Suns. Likely wins.

Possible wins: Pelicans, Mavs, T-wolvs.

The magic will definitely bottom out. :nonono:

They're awful. I like what Philly is doing with their club though. Sucks that they lost Embiid.
