Only 1 win the difference between all of them.

Anyone know who holds the tie breakers? That info might come in handy down the track

Pretty sure they do a coin flip when it comes to the draft standings


It's not season series record? That's a bad break for the Pistons because they lost the season series to most of the fellow tankers I think.

Corona could actually kill our tank before we start passing these teams....
Tom Gores' Securus faced a class action lawsuit in 2024. The company engaged in a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with county jails in Michigan which banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls.

Hopefully thwy play out the regular season regardless of crowds and then postpone the playoffs if it comes to that.

Knicks v Hawks today...

Assuming we lose...one of those teams passes us for wins! Might only be 1 more win but they all count

Knicks won...so we're now in the top 5:

GSW 15 wins
MIN & CLE 19 wins
ATL & DET 20 wins

Nice tank loss. No time to celebrate as the team got the news when they got out of the showers. As Langston Galloway said, playing Rudy Gobert last Saturday is in the back of all their minds.

I wonder if they restart the season in June if Blake would be back to finish out the season. Seems like it could ruin our tank.

I can't imagine they would reschedule regular season games. There is only a month left and the initial quarantine is at least 14 days. If anything, they start back up for the playoffs, but who knows. if anyone remotely associated with the league tests positive, that is going to reset the clock. It would be pretty surprising if he played multiple NBA games and practices with that much skin to skin contact and didn't manage to pass it on to someone.

That and there's too much implications for future events occurring. Things like free agency, Olympics, etc that'll all occur in the summer per Lowe. It would be uncharted waters in how that gets handled and resuming regular season games would muddy that even further.

Damn good job tanking right up to the wire, moving down a slot just in time!

No team lost better than the Pistons for the last two weeks.
