And Memphis won too..... The Lottery balls will tell the story. Yesterday they did have a better line-up and it showed. Poeltl & Barnes missing, but a big differentce with IQ, RJ & GTJ in the starting line-up.
2024-25 expect Barnes, Poeltl, IQ, RJ & Ochai as the starting 5, unless a big signing. Dick, Olynyk, a draft pick or two & hopefully a Free Agent or two to round it out.

Yeah, I was quite surprised this morning when I saw they actually won. I have mixed feelings; obviously I like that they win the odd game, but I'd like them to get a top 6 draft pick.

So let's rest. Why? Because we can't expect athletes who earn millions to play back to back. This is really ticking me off. I know management tanks. But this is over the top. MJ played the whole season at age 40. I don't remember many getting rested when Nurse was coaching. Maybe in Tampa? They wanted to keep the pick. Congrats.Last edited by nomullies; Apr 11, 2024, 09:32 AM.

Obvious tanking used to be frowned upon and seen as unsportsmanlike to say the least. Now it's seen as good strategy.
Not world beaters, but like the core four Barnes, IQ, RJ & Poeltl. Olynyk is good off the bench, saw glimpses with Dick, and know they see more in Agbaji (and hope for an offensive jump next year) then I do.
1 to 2 more scorers off the bench & could be a much better team.

Yes at least they pretended RJ had a knee issue. That loss guaranteed 6th, now just need to stay there and then cross fingers for 2024/25.

I’m thinking more such cases will come up which begs the question - can legal gambling and sports coexist?
From my personal perspective, I hope they find a way to better separate them in the future. That is probably naive given the money involved.
I hate how so much of today's sports coverage is about the betting and not the players and the game."Confusion" will be my epitaph
