Holy ****, did you guys see that OKC lineup? They even sat all their 2nd stringers.
This is ridiculous. Just shut down Cade, Bey, Stewart, Hayes and Olynyk for the last 3 games and play the G Leaguers. I don't care too much about the tank but if OKC is going to pull that ****, the Pistons should too.

Two gifts today. Orlando won, and then OKC.

Thunder come back from 16 down at 3qtr time while playing one of the worst lineups I’ve ever seen
Nothing makes sense at the end of the season

Does Orlando still matter? I can’t see them winning out.

Still, seems like the league should be doing something. OKC only played 7 guys and one of them was a total of 4 minutes. C'mon...

Tanking down to the wire.
I'm proud of Portland, out tanking OKC after their stunt.

0-3 will guarantee us 3rd at worst
1-2 will guarantee us tied 3rd at worst

Teams should only have lottery eligibility for a set number of sequential years.

Unbelievable. Can’t believe OKC came back and won that game. Their fan base must be furious

This is on their subreddit -
Chauncey Billups is obviously a double agent for Pistons
I'm fine with that

Wait, OKC won the game with THAT lineup? LofreakingL. That has to be the biggest upset of the year even if it was over the G League Blazers. They were led by the immortals, Oliver Sarr, some guy named Hoard and some dude with a greek name that I can't even spell (and I'm part Greek). Wild stuff

OKC won with more turnovers than assists. We’re blessed.

Look at both teams lineups, it was practically a summer league roster. Hoard put up a 20/20 game.
The Thunder will be letting fans in the stands suit up after tonight

I said it several times, OKC should lose their pick, this is unacceptable. Portland is not doing much better than them to be honest. They really need to change the rules.

How so?
If OKC loses out and we win one, doesn’t it go to a coin flip?

That would be tied 3rd
But yes, there would be a coin toss, so we could fall to 4th after that, but our odds for pick 1-4 would still be better than they will if we come outright 4th

A lot of heat on OKC's antics but let's not overlook the shameful Pacers.
They have flat out refused to win a game for the last few weeks.
