I just checked last nights OKC lineup

Jaylen Hoard, Isaiah Roby, Georgios Kalaitzakis, Zavier Simpson (who the f is that?) all playing over 40 minutes. Olivier Sarr playing 39 minutes, Vit Krejci playing 23 minutes.
How the hell is that an NBA team? Holly crap this might be the worst tank related actual NBA lineup ever.

Yeah lol I felt bad that Jazz-Thunder was the one game I had to leave out of the poll but I figured it's a quality NBA team fighting for playoff position vs a bunch of dudes invented by a random name generator.

And they beat Portland who was putting out a lineup of comparable quality.

The Celtics clinch HCA in the first round with a win but a Celtics loss would clinch the 1st seed for Miami.

Suns resting Book, CP3, Ayton and Crowder tonight. Will be interesting if Clippers don't blow us out tonight since they are a potential first round opponent.

Really looking forward to the Knicks/Nets game for the nostalgia factor of the retro telecast.

Jazz are resting Donovan Mitchell tonight. I'm sure we'll get some outrage about that.

Jazz are resting a few guys on a B2B. It's going to be the Jared Butler and Nickeil Alexander-Walker Show.

PSA to gamblers. Don't bet on the Mavs Pistons game. This is exactly the type of game the Mavs have a tendency to lose by 20+, but I wouldn't guarantee it

I took Mavs over 118.

We lost back to back games against OKC and Orlando and lost by 30+ to the Knicks and the Wizards. If there's a way we'll find it. Pistons need to tank hard here if they're tanking

They shouldn't. I don't like them doing that even if they secured the team wins record last night. They need to play for the sake of the fans who paid good money to see them. This "resting" BS needs to stop.
